Wert

This last Wednesday night, some of the Boise Weekly staff joined the throng of After Alive After Fivers whooping it up at Hannah's. The Rocci Johnson Band played danceable tunes and played them well.

Which is something that the Battlers' new coach, Greg Zimmerman,never would have envisioned when he first met the small anddysfunctional assemblage of players that he inherited when he arrivedin Philippi last fall.

"The team was in disarray," Zimmerman said.
