First serving: soup. When I hug friends goodbye, friends whom I see once a year or less frequently, I go into a three-day funk. My life feels like metaphorical soup, seasoned with a dollop of melancholy and a pinch of abandonment.

One year ago, the Rocky Boy Stars won the District 1B championship, only to fall short two weeks later in the Northern B Divisional tournament. Now, the Stars are looking for a reversal of fortunes. Last week in Conrad, top-seeded Rocky Boy lost to Shelby in the District 1B championship game, so the Stars (16-4) head to this week's Northern B in a little different position than they were a year ago - not being the top seed. Still, Rocky Boy, and head coach Adam Demontiney,...
