Hey folks:
What a week for us here at the Freeman.
With state track, state softball and the Herdegen -- not to mention what we call the unofficial start to the crush of the summer with American Legion and summer softball -- sometimes you don't know if you're coming and going.
For instance, one of my reporters -- Mike Stribl -- put nearly 1,000 miles on his car going from venue to venue for regional and state softball and baseball in ONE WEEK. He was literally out on his feet when he arrived back at the Freeman Saturday afternoon after covering Marlboro in the state softball semifinals.
Crazy!
That's what makes us all appreciate the few-and-far-between quiet times we have here. We've kind of reached that "lull" as we like to call it this week where we all get the chance to catch our collective breaths.
Unfortunately, for a small-town local sports department those quiet times don't last too long, especially with little league, softball and tennis tournaments right around the corner. It won't be too long before we even have to start thinking about this fall's local high school sports scene.
Yuk!
I need to enjoy the summer longer and I need more sunblock.
Take care and God bless.
