No doubt those who were in Sabetha Sunday morning would echo all those words and add a few more. Heard from out of the crowd of parents, other relatives and fans — Amazing.
On a sun-drenched morning in the very friendly confines of Sabetha’s Somerset Park — a field of dreams for that community — Iola American Legion Post 15’s AA Indians realized their dream. The players and fans were ready to celebrate Saturday afternoon but Hays-TMP Monarchs still had something to say about which team was going to be the 2012 Kansas American Legion AA state champion.
So the party was put on hold for a few more hours.
One could see the Indian players were ready Sunday morning as they ran onto the new field turf of Somerset Park. They were relaxed but focused.
