Great little story Read, I would'nt mind living in a place like that, sounds like some good people. 
--------------In a no-stoplight town lacking a movie theater, much less a mall to cruise, sports is the tie that binds.
"If there were no sports, I don't know what she'd do," Patricia Espitia says of daughter Yolanda Ortiz, star guard of the girls' basketball team. "It's the reason she keeps her grades up. Playing with her friends is important to her."
Perks taken for granted by many high school athletes don't apply here. If not for a recent fund-raiser, the school wouldn't have regulation basketballs for practice. As for personal agendas, the next Lee Vining student who earns an athletic scholarship to college will be the first in a very long time.
