Not everyone in St. John lives within the city limits. There are lots of people who prefer walking a country mile to strolling a city block. Hay. Horses. Chickens. Cattle. A gentleman’s farm or a large wheat operation–it’s all only a stone’s throw away from everything the town has to offer.

This is Wydell Duncan, Class of 2000. Karl Scheuerman and I have been trying to put together an Alumni basketball game for the spring of 2012, and hope in turns into an annual thing. We also would like to dedicate the game to our classmates Derrek Miller and Brent Repp and use it to raise funds for the scholarship that is in their name. We were thinking that the St. John stock show would be a perfect time to have such a game.
