Only 3 teams will go to the playoffs in 1A. They use to only take 2. How are they going to divide the schools now? 2 in Big school or 3 in small school?
When it comes out of my budget, it is me paying for it! That's why it matters to the coach. The association just added the meal money last year to their fee. I have had umpires eat burgers at the concession stand before and after games and still charge $10 meal money fee! When your school has very little money to start with, all these little fees add up.
The umpires could just do what they did in one of our games this past year. They called a "Do Over", yes, a "Do Over"! "We messed up, so we will just do it over", was the reply i received. As far as the pay goes, an umpire could make a pretty good living calling games. Trust me, I pay the umpires everytime we have a game. 48 cents a mile for travel and $10 meal money. Not to mention a share of the gate and game fees. I have paid $125 on multiple occasions this year for umpires.
You are correct! Buna beat BC the first time they played in Buna 7-2. Derek Blackshere pitched for BC and Chase Tucker pitched for Buna. Those were some pretty classy kids from the past.
I do not understand why people post things on the net just to stir up bull corn. You do not even know the correct positions of the players so do us all a favor and do not post anymore!
