I have no idea why Joey is so upset with Pujols and his batting average this year, he doesn't play for the Astro's!!! Thank goodness huh Joey? Anyway, it's Joey's tribute to Albert and this is the last week of trivia until school starts back. Great prize this year, really special and when I get the correct answer this week, I'll start getting the items ready to ship to this season's winners!

We still have Cathedral in the hunt for a baseball and softball title and both against the same school...Nanny Whyah...that's what it sounds like to me anyway! Good Luck Greenies!!!!

My son Christopher is back in town on the weekends and has been doing some private lessons for baseball...if you're interested, please see his link above and it's best to text him.

After visiting my mother yesterday, I went back home and watched all of the Tournament Players Championship. Matt Kuchar won the event and it couldn't have happened to a better person. The fans love him and so do the players around him. I almost went and played that course last year but it fell through and after watching yesterday, I really want to go even more now!

Beau Pre' C.C. is in great shape and with the new membership deal still going on, we're seeing lots of play! Some great tournaments coming up and I'm looking forward to participating in my share of them. And with the new PGA pro, we are able to host PGA events now and one is an upcoming Senior event for amateurs. I'll post on The Board more about that later.

This will be the last main page update until school starts back in the Fall. It's been a another great year for the Miss-Lou and its athletes', I know next year will see a lot of changes for some schools and as always, we are lucky to have such competitive teams in our area. Thanks for everything that ya'll do to keep people coming back and checking scores and catching up on the latest news about our athletes'.

That's all I got for this update, the rest will come on The Board during the summer. Ya'll have a great summer and visit The Board when you can, it always gets slow during this time but, usually there's something going on!
