Bluffton eighth grader Courtney McLaughlin's performance at Saturday's Division I boys' state finals basketball game got us to thinking.

In 2011 Kevin Gratz and his "Shirts and Pants" extra-curricular male choir of Bluffton High School boys also advanced to the state finals. That 15-member choir also performed the National Anthem.

The photo above shows the group minutes before walking out on the basketball court.
