Our Region has decided to recognized athletes who have signed to play Division 1 or other football opportunities and military opportunities that prevents them to be able to participate in the game in the summer. Its a great gesture to those kids to recognize their accomplishments without having to use one of the 3 nominations you get along with taking up a spot for a kid who could potentially play in the game. Region 4 has done this last 3 years or so.

Yes because people will no doubt stop having sex 😂

If you stick up a bank but don't actually take the money, you still will be charged. Dersh has 0 credibility.

There’s no children or grandchildren coming along with the way the USA is heading.

Do all Regions have ‘honorable mention’ or similar designations? It’s a nice way to recognize All-Region talents who would not be able to play in the North/South game due to collegiate obligations.

I played ball with Demarcus at KWC, great guy and I feel going to be a great fit at Bosse. He is still going to face the same issues that every single Bosse coach has had. A population that moves around a lot and a basketball community. Good luck coach.

I am surprised Brunson isn't getting more talk. Not sure he would leave Mt. Vernon for personal reasons but still. I wouldn't be surprised if Reitz goes ultra external for the hire.

will get that updated and send a nasty gram to my staff who incorrectly updated the opening.

Coach Ganaway will be great for Bosse. I truley believe that we have made some positive steps over the past five seasons, but it is time for a new vision. I am glad someone like Demarcus is coming in to take the program to the next level.

Okay!!

Ironic that several folks mentioned Travel ball. I went to Westfield Grand Park last Saturday to watch my friend's kid play in a 13U travel tourney sponsored by Bullpen Tournaments. 140 teams spread out from 8U-14U. Minimum 3 games guaranteed. NO PITCHING RESTRICTIONS. You read that right. It's totally up to the coaches (& parents?) to limit the innings & pitches for these young kids in weekend tournaments with 3-6 games over 2 days. https://bullpentournaments.com/2019-may-slugfest/ Due to some quirky scheduling, the team I was watching played 3 games on Saturday & got eliminated so they were done for the weekend. 2 kids threw in games 1 & 3-- starter went 3 innings & 2 innings, reliever went 1 inning & 5 innings. The team that knocked them out Saturday evening played 3 games on Saturday & then 3 more games to win the title on Sunday. I just looked up all of their games on the GameChanger app. In those 6 games, they used 7 different pitchers totaling 33 innings. (Most games are shortened due to time limits or run rule.) Only 1 kid threw both days-- 1.1 on Sat, 4.2 on Sunday. The kid with the most innings got a couple outs in game 1 Sat & then threw a complete game 7-inning shutout in game 3. I was at that game & he didn't throw many pitches. Teeny, tiny lefty who threw strikes & his D made all the plays. I expected to see several kids listed with 8-10 innings of work. So I gotta give credit to the coaches of that team for not overloading their best pitchers to get through those 6 games.

Presidential Candidates Promise Freebies for Everyone Politicians win, taxpayers lose. : https://reason.com/2020/01/29/presidential-candidates-promise-freebies-for-everyone/ And what is sad is the taxpayers who vote for a uni-party candidate. They are as short-sighted as the candidates themselves, enamored with what kind of "free" stuff they can get from the federal government. They are perfectly willing to sacrifice the future American, the country of their children and grandchildren. Pitiful.

Don’t Let Utopian Public Schooling Rhetoric Block School Choice: https://www.cato.org/blog/dont-let-utopian-public-schooling-rhetoric-block-school-choice Public schools were not forging unified, enlightened citizens, as was the goal, but were largely just a mundane part of life. Which would be fine, except that taxpayer support of uniform public schooling is compelled on the grounds that it is so much more than what it actually is — it is essential for “democracy,” right? — and in that privileged position it has often been worse than just ineffectual at its professed purpose. It has imposed or reinforced inequality and injustice. I won’t go over all the injustice in detail — you can see where I’ve discussed it in more depth—but remember that for much of its history public schooling often discriminated against minority religions, most notably Roman Catholics. It often either completely barred or segregated African Americans—not just in the South—and in some places Mexican and Asian Americans. It attacked the culturally unifying language of German immigrant communities. It now systematically treats religious Americans as second‐class citizens. And it forces people with different values, cultures, and identities to fight to see which “equal” people win, and which lose. School choice is fundamentally different from this. Based not on rhetoric about creating social and personal perfection, but on the reality of diverse human beings and communities, choice enables families to pursue the education that they want, that respects their cherished values and cultures, and that removes the threat that those with the most political power will impose their idea of “the good” on everyone. No doubt believers in public schooling such as Neem are guided by good intentions — they truly seek the ideal of unity and enlightenment for all — but too often, especially if they oppose school choice, they may let their ideals overtake their understanding of reality. And sometimes, it may lead them to forget that liberty is the country’s truly bedrock value.

Discrediting Bolton Won’t Be Easy for Team Trump: https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/01/trump-impeachment-trial-john-bolton-not-easy-to-discredit/ On one side I want this Senate Trial to be over, on the other side it would be interesting to hear what Mr. Bolton has to say under oath.
