Cardinal's 12th Man

Waitsburg High grad Jim Mitchell (r) was named 2014 Booster of the Year at Saturday's Waitsburg vs. Dayton basketball games. Each November the Waitsburg Booster Club solicits nominations for Booster of the Year. Nominations are reviewed by the club officers in December when a selection is made. "Jim was a unanimous selection this year because he has been a long time loyal supporter of Waitsburg students.  You will find Jim at almost every Cardinal sporting event no matter the distance or time of day.  Whether it's $5 or $50, when the kids or a group have a fundraiser, Jim is one of the first customers. He is always positive and when things don't go well for the team, he always says 'We'll get 'em next time!'  ...and he'll be there next time cheering them on!" said Booster Club President Ross Hamann (l) who awarded Mitchell with a commemorative plaque.
