I Just Noticed That This Is Post #301!

I was going to do A Coach Hughes Corner for Post 300, but it snuck up on me. I will work on a corner for next week. Been a while since I have done one.

Show up and support the boys as they continue there quest for a conference title.

RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY!!!!!

We were rained out Thursday night and again rain causes us to cancel tonight. No game tonight at Wheaton. Maybe tomorrow or next week, or the next. No telling at this time. Please, be flexible with the next couple of weeks. We have to get some games in and, with rain falling all over, we may be making last minute changes or additions. Thanks.
