My family and I were in attendance and I wanted to give kudos to the organizers and participants of the Hoops for Hope festivities. It was apparent that both the Augusta and St. Patrick schools, as well as the extended Bracken County community, rally behind their neighbors. Hearing the testimony of the families who have battled and are currently battling cancer was touching. The young lady who spoke was an inspiration and the auction raised a significant amount of money to help a worthy cause. Great job by all!

Congratulations on your signing and wishing you a speedy recovery.

My husband and I are both CCHS graduates and were multi-sport athletes many moons ago. Even with the lack of state championships in the sports that we played, I can tell you that there was no doubt where we wanted our kids to go to school. The Campbell County school system has accomplished great things and has treated our community well over the years. I understand having school spirit and team pride. I don’t understand being belligerent on a public forum simply because you can hide behind a username. Best of luck to all of the student athletes out there.

So I had to join BGP to make this post and didn't get the green light until now...which is probably a good thing. My 13 year old daughter is an 8th grader and has caught for CCHS all season long (and whom at least two BGP talking heads felt was "undeserving" of the all tourney award). She batted five times in #8 spot over two games. Against Brossart she had two hard line drives up the middle (in a game where not many hits were had by CCHS) and she had a double against Scott that was a shot hit over the left fielder's head. She made multiple blocks behind the plate when the pitches were in the dirt. Am I bashing anyone for pitches being in the dirt or for errors made in the field by different players? Nope...because that's softball. Errors happen at all levels of play. It's how you bounce back from them that matters. After the Scott game my DD came home and practiced her blocking because some pitches got by her. She also hit off of the tee to get her swing down...but enough about this "undeserving" player. What I won't do is hide behind a bogus screen name because I'm too weak to have my opinions known as my own and I refuse to be some mystery person who can pop off on BGP in anonymity. It takes a really small person to hide behind a username on a forum, but if you ever get tired of the ridiculous behavior--look me up. I'm a camel fan and will continue to be on the sidelines cheering for every one of our players (yours included) while you are trying to bash mine on BGP. My daughter will continue to work hard and improve her game. God willing and with good health I hope that she can continue to play softball at CCHS for another four years after this season is over. But it isn't over yet. Finish strong Camels!
