In light of our current weather, what are some of the mud bowls you remember? I remember watching FH BM at the Point in 1997, couldn't even tell who the players were because everyone was brown on the field Maybe 96? You may be right. That was the game Matt Danel, our do-it-all QB/ kicker, got hi-lo...

It depends on what kind of  Kool-Aid you drink and what gives you satisfaction.   Apparently an individual's perspective is based upon whether you want to develop all kids in a league, town, area etc, or just a select few and win as many games as you can.  Somerset used to dominate the area at all ...

I was not aware that Kenny had played in The AAABA league. Do you know who he played for? I have heard he was a good High School player and went on to play in college. I also think with a couple more quality pitchers, OA could make a run next year. Congratulations goes out to Carpenters for earning...

I've known Ken since we were teammates in the AAABA League. He's always been a stand up guy.
