Yesterday was the season opener for many high schools around here. While drinking my morning coffee today, I turned to the sports section to see if just maybe some box scores were posted. They were.
Our immediate community has 3 high schools (2 public, 1 private). All three schools won thier game yesterday. The three winning pitchers each played & pitched on one of the local PONY league teams I coached back when they were 13-14. I don't claim to have contributed significantly to the development of the 2 who aren't my son, but it was great to see them all having success.
That bit of news motivated me to take a look at how many boys that had played on my PONY teams were now playing varsity ball. I counted 14. It kinda makes that time invested between the fall of '03 thru Spring '05 seem worthwhile!
