Sorry, my phone died.  Dixon came back in for Willis in the 6th and got out of the jam.  Willis got a couple of insurance runs and then KP went down in order in the 7th.  Good series.  Long night from 5:00 to 10:45  KP was impressive.

Best season ever for KP softball. That being said, winning covers up a lot of problems. Let me preface my little rant I am about to go on. I am the parent of a player. I love my daughter and this will be only somewhat objective. The young ladies in this program won 27 games this season in spite of a regime that believes in intimidation, negativity, verbal abuse and mind games to name a few little nuggets. Now, I am old school. I believe if a student-athlete isn't doing their job, get in their kitchen. A little butt chewing is a good thing when warranted. However, when a coach makes it personal, that is when it is a problem. You can coach up a kid without berating them. The talent level at KPark has been proven. I cannot imagine what they could do if they had a coach that actually cared about the athletes success and not their own personal glory. I have been deeply involved with this program for several years and have finally reached the breaking point. Held my tongue hoping it would change. It has only gotten worse. Case in point. This past Wednesday was our softball banquet. Coach was recognizing the team. She failed to recognize one of the seniors, with the other seniors. Now mind you, this young lady is playing college ball next year, so she is no slouch. The young lady was devestated. It is things like this and numerous others that have finally come to a boiling point. There are young ladies on this team that have quit to play other sports, just to not be around the head coach. I know some will say, " sour grapes!" This rant is not that. I have coached and been around travel ball fort close to 20 years. There is a right way and a wrong way to coach. KPark is doing it the wrong way! Hopefully the administration will have the backbone to do something about it. If you read all of this, thanks! I tend to get a little long winded! Good luck to the remaining teams in the playoffs!

Sorry to hear this for those young ladies. Great coaches with awesome facilities are always looking to improve their roster with those type student athletes and they can stay in the same district!

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
