Twenty-five years later, Big Horn Basin residents recall a morning of disbelief and a country that came together in grief and resolve.

The events of Sept. 11, 2001, are so firmly fixed in my mind that it is hard to imagine how many Americans now have no personal memory of that day.

The Greybull Buffs went 1-1 against two strong 3A teams last week, bouncing back from a loss to reigning state champ Lovell (25-20, 25-10, 25-19) on Tuesday for a hard-fought win in Worland (27-25, 27-25, 25-23) on Friday. Head volleyball coach Sara Schlattmann was happy with how her team performed at this point in the season.

“Lovell is such a tough opponent and they really had us out of system the entire match,” Schlattmann said. “It created a lot of stress on our team that they hadn’t felt before and so it was good for us to experience that early.”

She hadn’t eaten, and she wasn’t very well-hydrated. She reached up to tap Bond twice, the signal for ‘stop.’ The next thing she knew, she was looking up from the pavement.
