Funny story from tonight. Working on my notes during warmups when a ball comes flying across the scorers table & smashes me directly in the face! I never saw it coming! My glasses go flying & are totally busted. Nothing like broadcasting a game when you can’t see! 😂🤓

Amazing experience! Can’t even put it into words yet!

On my morning run today I was going past the small country store in my town & one of the old guys sitting outside drinking his coffee yelled “Mornin’ Laycee!”
Guess everyone saw my Halloween photo this year 😂😆
Please take the time to read this & send thoughts & prayers to Mariano Hernandez from Oneonta. One of the best local running backs in the area. Hoping he can stay strong & beat this!

Unatego takes it over Haldane in penalty kicks to advance to the state championship game. UCS finishes it off 2-1 in kicks after a 0-0 tie in regular play. What an incredible game!

If my math is correct we have had 8 local high school players join the 1,000 career point club so far this season. We have also had 3 local grads hit 1,000 career points for their college careers this winter. Amazing stuff!
