This is good to see. A good team on Friday nights in the Basin makes things much better in the small town. Not many positive things can bring attention to the town other than a good football team. Only time there is media coverage is when something goes wrong. Proud of the Cougars so far this year. Gotta keep grinding.

I agree! No matter how good other sports are, good football teams drives that town.

Don't they still mine for copper?

They are a good tough football team!

They stopped in 1987. I hear rumors that the mining may start up again in the future

Like bigdave said they stopped in 87, and if I'm not mistaking the last mine was filled with water in 99'? Bigdave may be able to know more about that. But I heard rumors of them starting back. However, recently I heard that it was just rumors not actual facts

Really? I haven't heard of this. It would be great if they did.
