Before Clovis High played Buchanan Friday night for the Central Section softball championship, the announcer representing the section stated there wouldn't be a national anthem prior to the game.
Those in attendance at Fresno State's Margie Wright Diamond weren't having any of that.
Following a loud chorus of boos, the patriotic crowd stood up and began singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" a cappella.
Many removed their hats and placed their hands over their hearts. Others simply stood tall with pride.
