Fargo, ND. In the Bible, there is the book of John. In WDA basketball, there has been the book of Steve for a long time. Saturday night, a new king was crowned; his name is Darin Mattern. His Century Patriots finally conquered the devilish crew from Bismarck High led by Steve Miller, who was Darin’s mentor when he was an assistant coach at Bismarck. Over the years, as far back as this reporter was in high school at Century, the Demons had always been a pain, and the Patriots had always been unable to beat them. But my, how time has changed. Now it’s Mr. Mattern’s turn to be on top, and Mr. Miller’s turn to be number two. He had always gotten the spoils of what it feels like to be number one, but now you spell champion C-E-N-T-U-R-Y. You will hear more from the guys who wear red, white, and blue. As soon as we find out when your celebration is, JeremiahBoyce.com will bring you exclusive coverage of the kings being crowned champions. This is extremely special for me, because how many reporters get an opportunity to go back to the campus where they used to roam? Another reason why I am especially excited is because I used to take a class from the new king.
