All I can say is WOW. Not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing.. just blows me away.

Football and track are the only sports at my school that take two buses. The basketball team (and cheerleaders) all ride on one bus. Baseball team all rides on one bus. It's crazy.

That is amazing. We only took 2 busses. However, we often came back with a police escort.
