    Shoot Python...that's true of most every team. There is always someone griping about the coach and how stupid they are (of course, their son is not playing)

    That's true, but some of them were pretty vicious.

    Believe me..I'm not endorsing it. It's just that I see/hear it nearly everywhere I go. Doesn't make it right...it's just all to common nowadays.

    I ate at Lexington BBQ yesterday and there was a sign up saying they'd be closed from 7/3 to 7/11.

    Thanks, you're a life saver. I hate it though. I'm off all week and was planning a trip to get some real Q.

    The more people grumble & gripe...the more they care. That is actually a compliment to the Rowan program. Winning builds expectations.

    I have been a big supporter of american legion baseball in this area for sometime my stomach has been upset for over a year now for the way Legion has been ruined by legion commandos and parents. This mess has been brewing since last october Legion will never be the same until the teams stand up for one another instead of trying to get a edge on the other teams through technacalities.

    What i beleive has happened by talking to many legion officials is a major power play by the legion commandos. It all started in Raleigh last october when the legion baseball committe unanimously voted down the West Forsyth team due to the fact it would water down the league and probably destroy the mocksville team that had been one of the backbones of area 3.
    In Febuary Legion Attorney Gaither Keener overturned the baseball committees rulling and added West Forsyth. Remember Gaither Keener is from North Wilkesboro and a former area 3 commisioner Now a member of Harold b Jarret legion post in Salisbury.Mocksville was told by Bob Beeson area 3 commisioner they had to draw from North Irdelle, West Irdelle, North Rowan, and West Rowan Mocksville leaders refused and said they would fold there program before they would wreck Rowan , and Mooresville unlike what West Forsyth was allowed to do to Mocksville.Therefore Mocksville did not carry any of those schools on there form 1 so why is the illegal player an issue why didn't Rowan fight this harder? are we in the beginning of the ruination of legion baseball the way we knew it? Could Bob Beeson bring this area down to the level of Wilkesboro? There is a lot of Questions out there to be answered but this mess needs to be straightened out or they want be any competitive legion baseball to play or showcase will take over . As far as Will Clark the name the Salisbury post refers to and Bob Beeson,i think it is a 3 headed monster Gaither Keener, Bob Beeson, and Roy Waters. Was Keener after Mocksville ? Did Roy Waters get back at Keener through this so called illegal player? sad ! sad! sad! for once what was a great baseball program
