County has two Superbowl ties

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

Mountain Home and Elmore County have two solid ties to Superbowl XLV, which will be played Feb. 5 in Dallas, Texas, between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Korey Hall, who was born in Mountain Home and grew up in Glenns Ferry, is a fullback for the Green Bay Packers. Hall played both ways for the Glenns Ferry Pilots and was a Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year when he played for the Boise State University Broncos before being drafted by the Packers.

In addition, Marathon Cheese, which operates a major cheese packaging plant in Mountain Home, is based in Green Bay, Wis., the home of the Packers.

Sorry, but it is Korey Hall. Nice mention though.

It's Pittsburgh, with an 'h' on the end. At least all the other publications, nation wide, put an 'h' on Pittsburgh. Do you think they are ALL wrong??

The Superbowl is always on a Sunday, and that's Feb. 6th

Also, the headquarters for Marathon Cheese are in Marathon, Wisc not Green Bay.
