Late last month, some campers at Glacier National Park spotted a ring on the ground, a speck in the sprawling Montana tourist destination that covers more than a million acres with 745 miles of hiking trails and more than 1,000 campsites.
The campers gave the football ring to rangers at the site, who in turn passed it to a law enforcement park ranger, who then gave the ring to Sabrina Maloney in the lost-and-found department. She noticed that it was a 2002 Southern Conference championship ring with the name "Slaughter" on one side with the No. 52 engraved inside a football.
