LIT UP

Spent yesterday hanging the outside Christmas lights...some new designs and the like. In the middle of all that we had an eval for our 6-7-8 grade boys league (in-town). Wow. I never realized how bad some kids were. We had about 45 boys show (10 no-shows) and I can count on two hands, with a finger or two left over, how many boys can actually play. Kind of depressing actually.

But that is the state of youth sports...you have the kids who excel, the kids who hang on, and the kids who just lag behind. Blame video games? Blame parents who don't encourage kids to get out and exercise and compete? Blame society? I wonder...

Anyway, teams got picked; mine is as strong as anybody else with OSSS and a couple of my baseball players on roster. Everybody has about 2-3 decent players, so I guess it's how the other boys grow and develop that will make the difference.
