Forks down as always
Debut in the top 25? They were #25 before the game.
Two seasons ago they finish the year 10-3, #11, and lose their coach. Last season was a swirling dumpster fire going down a drain. This year, they bounce back, 9-3, with one more game to go; win it, they stay in the Top 25, lose they're out, but still a bounce back season. Devils, two seasons ago, toilet, last year-magical run, this year-solid, but no Top 25. Kenny is 1-2 against U of A, and lost both of them at Home to two middle-aged dudes . . . Crazy three years for sure.
