Over the decades, a lot has changed. “My first year, we used to have to meet the opposing coach halfway and exchange the VHS videos,” said Lilac, reflecting on the process of exchanging game footage. “Then you'd come back to school and take the VHS video, make multiple copies to give to your assistant coaches, and now everything's done at the snap of the fingers.”

PETER MOST: All hang together

It was inevitable, but it took 12 years, three votes, and a near tripling of the cost before voters agreed to replace the failing Monument Mountain Regional High School.

So far, the count is one vote and three years. Twelve years and three votes is the record for futility. Here’s hoping Sheffield does not take a run at it.
