One of the few trophies from childhood that I have kept around, maybe because it meant so much at the time. I was a transfer in from growing up in East Peoria and moved to Washington in late summer of 1976, just in time to be a part of a class that had some good success in basketball. I can't recall who we beat to win the tournament but do remember the tournament bracket board on the wall and I have to say it was pretty cool to see the St. Pat's name moving on in each round, especially as the host school. Mr. Landry was a great coach who had a positive impact on me years down the road in many ways and I know, together with Mrs. Landry, the endless hours of commitment to the young student athletes made a difference to many others. Thank you and congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! Go Irish!
