No Bloomfield update

Posted Wednesday, December 26, 2007, at 8:39 PM

Couldn't get online at the gym, which was why I didn't update throughout the day like I had hoped. Hope to have that problem fixed.

Top three seeds -- Hayti, Bernie and Doniphan -- rolled while Bloomfield rallied past Van Buren and Puxico upset Dexter. Twin Rivers also got upset by South Pem which was the last game I saw before heading home.

Great crowds for a first day.

I'm going to get to work on my stories now.

Since East Prairie has gone two and out, maybe now the coach will realize that last years team won 20 games "in spite" of him!!!
