Jingles and possible trademark infringement aside, forget about the Copper Kings, the Copperheads are the 60-burger kings of the road after serving up another diet of punishment to go, this time in Kellogg, Idaho on Friday, Oct. 10 where Anaconda scored 10 touchdowns and change on their way to cooking up a 40-point win over the Wildcats.

In reviewing some of Anaconda’s great teams, athletes and coaches, it seems appropriate to focus on two individuals that were icons when it comes to overall sports and education. Patrick J. Connors and Michael F. O’Leary have to rank as two of the best. Their impact, especially in sports, dates back to the 1930s and lasted into the 1970s. They were not only friends but their legacy included almost all of the sports of their time. Interestingly, they were also products of competing communities that symbolized the best of both. A significant highlight of their paths would cross in the mid-1940s and continue throughout their lives.

It was brought to our attention that our email accounts weren't working over the weekend and that all email sent to them was being returned. That issue has now been resolved and our email is back up and running, however any email that was sent to us from Friday evening until now won't automatically be received. So if you attempted to email anything to us and it was returned, they would need to be resent. Thank you, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
