I would like to echo the remarks of cdnmom. This site has been wonderful over the years for us also. It seems like it was just a short time ago that I was getting info from this site to help our son plan and make a college choice. It has been 7 years ago.
Our son enrolled at the University of Evansville in the fall of 2003. He became the Friday night pitcher 2 years ago,and now leaves UE as the all time leader in games started in a career at 57 games. He finished in the top 5 in many other catagories.
He graduated this spring with a degree in sports management, and was selected to the Missouri Valley Scholar Athlete first team the last two seasons.
Our team won the MVC regular season, and the MVC tournament championship. We advanced to the NCAA Regional at Charlottesville, VA and made it to the Championship game before losing to South Carolina on June 5th.
Two days later, on a golf course, our son Adam got the call he had been hoping for all his life. He had been drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 31st round!!
What a thrill it was for all of us! To think that his playing days might be over, and then find out he'll have a chance to continue playing, was a great experience.
Thanks to all the posters that have answered questions along the way, and for all the good advice that is on this site.
The last chapter is just beginning!!
