Six weeks after a December windstorm ripped sections of roof off the Park City school gymnasium, the Panthers’ basketball and volleyball teams still have nowhere to play home games. So neighboring schools did what neighboring schools do in small-town Montana: they showed up.

Coaches from Fromberg, Reed Point, and Joliet each offered their gyms for Park City’s home games, and did so without a formal request, a committee, or a single email chain longer than three messages.

“We just called and said come on over,” said Fromberg athletic director Linda Voss. “That’s it. That’s the whole story.”

Park City superintendent Dan Oakley said the response has been “overwhelming in the most understated way possible.” No one made a big deal about it. No one asked for recognition. The neighboring schools simply rearranged their own schedules and made room.

“You don’t really think about it,” said Joliet head basketball coach Martin Reeves. “Their kids need a gym. We have a gym. What else would you do?”

The roof repair is expected to take several more weeks, pending insurance assessments and contractor availability. In the meantime, Park City’s teams are playing “home” games across three different towns, with parents driving an extra thirty to forty-five minutes each way.

“It’s a lot of windshield time,” admitted one parent, who asked not to be named because she was eating a gas station burrito while driving and felt it undermined her credibility. “But the kids don’t care. They just want to play.”

No timeline has been set for a permanent fix. The wind, as always, had no comment.
