As bagpipes pierced the cold air with the melancholy notes of "Amazing Grace" before Catholic's 48-20 win over Scott at Blaine Stadium, Catholic's cheerleaders locked arms at midfield with their Scott counterparts, who each clutched a single rose wrapped in a prayer blanket.

Thanks for posting this article. Nikki is the cousin to a co-worker of mine.

Such a tragedy. From reading the comments I understand a mother and unborn child also perished. Prayers sent for all.

Why in the world would the Phelps bunch want to protest these children?

An unborn child and her grandmother. Mom has survived so far, but the last I saw was that she was in critical condition.

According to Phelps bunch, everyone, including the unborn, are guilty of blah blah blah. Bunch of idiots.
