To the Northview dad;
That was my nephew who helped your daughter. That young man will give the shirt off of his back to help anyone because he has a big heart. He had been trained well as he is a first responder in our Jay Volunteer Fire Department. No matter how the game went for any of them at the end of the day this is what matters. I couldn’t be more proud of him!
Our daughter fainted on the bus last night after the game. One of Jay’s baseball players ran himself to death to help us to get the things we needed to bring her back around. I just wanted to say thank you to that young man for helping her. It’s people like you that make this world a better place for all. Also thank you to EMS and Jay fire department for their quick response.
It was a great game between two successful programs. All three games this year were closely contested. Best of luck to both teams in the State Tournament!
Our season isn’t over ladies. You all fought hard to get back into the game last night. We limit the mistakes and don’t spot them 5 runs we win that game. Hold your heads high and play your best game next week. We’re looking for a rematch.
We are proud of our Northview Lady Chiefs. Keep your heads up and continue to work hard.
Good job LADY ROYALS. Way to go!!! Don’t stop, go all the way.
