Too bad more parents don't look at it that way.

Exactly. No grades, the opportunities for aid, slim and none. Trying my best to emphasize this to my second. My first lost out on a lot because of "less than perfect" grades. Been a roller coaster and the ride isn't half over.:no:

I hope that there isn't a major drop off (like last year) in pitching after you get past Haire. There are a couple of pitchers that should be better this year, but that remains to be seen. That has been the one and only game OHS has played in the last 2 weeks. I appreciate your kind words for the guys, but I will wait until they meet again to see who is the better team. That's when it will matter, heading toward the district tourney. ...

Warren Central has talent, they just do not have the numbers. Shame for the kids there. If there was ever a school that could use a win this season, it's the Warren Central. Did they have a bunch of kids leave when South Warren arrived? What happened over there? It's good that they have maintained with their basketball team.

OHS 7 Ohio County 0. Gilliam looked good at times and he threw hard. I believe Owensboro got 4 hits. Gilliam's defense let him down in the 4th, that's when he got the hook. I think Ohio made 3 or 4 errors. Owensboro made several errors but obviously it didn't hurt them. This will not be the Ohio team that shows up at the end of the season, they will get better. Griffen Haire scattered three hits on his way to the shut out. Don't know...

Just another reason to hope for the game to be played. Might be a bit chilly, I'm hoping you're right about Gillim pitching. Might be good for them to see a top shelf pitcher this early. Could help them get their "minds" right. I agree that OHS can hit; but what scares me about them is their fielding at times. In the scrimmage against Warren South the left side of the infield had 3 or 4 errors. You aren't going to beat good teams with...

What you said is true. But I wasn't necessarily talking about equally skilled players. Skill is only part of being a player. "Players" are kids that rise to the occasion and do the things that need to be done to put his team in a position to win. Previous coaching, mentality, experience, etc all go into making a kid a player. If one cannot rise to the occasion when challenged, he/she is not a "player" in my book. I am hoping that OHS...
