If it rains, the scrimmages will be on Monday.

Doesn't school start this Mon. for OR? If so, kids will get home kind of late. Weather forecast for Sat. looks great. Then again: it's a weather forecast.

Are the days of David Clary being able to raise money to broadcast scrimmages over? When WATO was alive, David spoiled us with all his hard work to bring scrimmages and games on air and online. Too bad times have changed but we still have his prepradio.com to keep the out of town fans in the loop.

So, what does everyone think of our youth teams getting kicked out of their respective conference? Feel bad for the kids!

What was the reason given for this action?

Well, they tried to say it was because our teams didn't have enough players,( and while they don't right now) they still had 3 more weeks to get more kids out for the team. But I'm friends with a few of the coaches for our teams and they said those are just excuses because the teams are getting tired of our teams handing it to them every single year lol!! A few of our teams (1 that I know directly of) won every game by about 50-60 points last year. To put it bluntly, I think the other teams are just tired of getting whooped to be honest and made some excuses to get us outta there. We are trying to get in on the Knox leagues, which would probably be better competition for our teams anyway. I'll post the article.
