Wyoming boys lax picks up first playoff win

Community Press article here.

By the way, the article says that James Edwards is a junior.  He's not.  He's a senior graduate.

Aleshire hauls in two TD passes, is named West MVP in SWOFCA game

Wyoming graduate (Class of 2010) Evan Aleshire scored both touchdowns for the West in Thursday's Southwest Ohio Football Coaches' Association East-West All-Star Game.  The passes covered 41 and 76 yards.  (Hmm, Evan catching long TD passes - why does that sound familiar?)  He was named West MVP.

Despite the efforts of All-Stars Evan, Harry Meisner and Jacob Allsop, the West lost 21-13.

As opposed to those selfish Super Bowl MVP's, who shout, "I'm going to Disney", after the game Evan was heard saying, "I'm going to Cambodia."  (On a mission trip).

Coach Wooden vignette

My favorite from the stories about John Wooden is from Tim Dahlberg of the AP:

(Bill) Walton was very much an individual in a time of individualism.  One day he showed up at practice with a wild, red beard, ready to play for a coach who didn't allow facial hair.  "It's my right," he told Wooden.

"That's good, Bill," Wooden replied.  "I admire people who have strong beliefs and stick by them.  We're going to miss you."

Tri-County Press 6-9-10

It must be summer because the Tri-County Press doesn't have any Wyoming sports.

It does have two alum's though, Polly Muehlenkamp and Jon Edgington, receiving awards that we blogged about here and here.

This week's issue here.

K-Harp getting Rahmie with it

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel famously (infamously?) said, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste...[it] is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

That's also how Kathy Harper (AKA K-Harp) rolls.

She asked that we take this slow time for the blog to remind you about the flower pots, AGAIN:

Add a little school spirit to your home or office

George Carlin asks, "Why..."

Why do baseball fans sing 'Take Me out to the Ballgame' when they are already there?
