The late great Ephrata boys basketball coach Marty O'Brien once told his players:

"When you play here (at Ephrata), you don't play just four years, you play forty."

This simply meant "Once an Ephrata Tiger, always an Ephrata Tiger.  All the blood, sweat and tears you endured while playing in that uniform made you a member of the team for life.  Nothing can ever take that away from those athletes that paid their dues during the good and bad years.
And so the same can be said for every athlete of every team.  The athletes of the Caribou Trail League have everything to be proud of no matter the level of success.  You can be proud to say that you, are forever, a full-fledged member.
