When I was at Century High School, we went to state twice & won, once, I think? Anyway, that’s when we had a great Southpaw pitcher & a great hitter, Nat (Buck) Showalter; who went on to be a New York Yankees manager. So, I hope y’all WIN & bring that TROPHY home!!
How exciting!!! I hope ya’ll win.
Bring the championship home boys!!!
So sorry about the bus situation. Praying for a good trip and blessings on each game. Go Chiefs!
>>>All the way to Fort Myers on a school bus why not a charter bus just wondering???
After winning Friday night, they were unable to find a charter bus available on short notice. School groups are restricted to a list of companies approved by the school district (already passed background checks, safety checks, etc). None of the companies on the approved list had a bus available. At least they were able to procure a school bus with air conditioning.
Good luck guys!
Good Luck and have fun.
