Periodically, we all need to update sites that we regularly visit for information, education, controversy, inspiration, or relief. I appreciate that some of you regularly visit here.
We completed our regular season 21-3, 12-2 in our league (first), and 10-1 against teams describing themselves as "A" teams. I'm really proud of my team, that I'd call "tiny" as we have absolutely no height but have practiced and played hard all season. To quote my high school coach, "I'm pleased but not satisfied."
"Make the big time where you are." Every post can add value. Every practice can be a clinic. Every player deserves our best, every day.
