Researching Malzahnian lore is one of our passions. So you can imagine our excitement upon learning that Shiloh Christian just uploaded select passages of the high school apocrypha to YouTube. Our favorite? What—on the occasion of winning the school its first Arkansas AA state championship—might possibly be Gustav’s first Gatorade bath ever. Trying to confirm. [...]
