tradition. So what is Fairmont a perfect place for
My answer is a perfect place for ou kids to do what they love and that is to represent a school and team they Love. We have and never will b a one player team. Check the recent history..as stated before go back to these kids middle school days, next when they came together as freshmen and played j.v. ball, our j.v. teams havent lost more than two to three games a year since these group of seniors came along. Getting Hinson was a major plus for the program but dont say that we only have one good player because our records speak for themselves!!
