Guam High School didn’t have enough players to field a team. So in the days leading up to the island season, it was a question not of whether Brinnlyn Hardt would play her favorite sport.
Zama and Guam High capped their respective cheerleading seasons by bringing home team banners in last week’s Far East clinic and competition at Yokota Air Base, Japan.
My son’s first Valentine’s Day at school in Germany left me scrambling at the last minute. I’d made it to the base Exchange too late — the traditional boxes of themed sign-and-tear cards I remember giving away to my classmates when I was a little girl had long-since been sold out.
