Thanks Coach Walker we are so excited in Clarkton about the Regional Tournament and can't wait til July. Thinking back to your days playing. We never dreamed that we could every host a event this big. But at that time we had only one field, no consesions and no restroom, but I am sure I don't have to remind you of were the restroom was during that time (the woods). You name come up at my practice today as is does two or three times each season. Hope you don't mine but we I hear a kid use the excuse that something hurts or when they make a mistake. I stop the whole team and tell them of a 12 year that played for me years ago, he broke a finger on his throwing the first week of al-star practice. He was only able to take sum batting practice, and didn't throw a ball for two weeks. But he stll wanted to catch we game time come.  Yes he was my catcher and the broke finger was  on his throwing hand.  AND HE NEVER MADE A EXCUSE ABOUT HURTING ONE TIME!!   What I still don't uunderstand is why teams though beacuse you were hurt that they could still run on you, but after you gun down the first three that tried they stopped.. I tell each group every year (you got to have the heart and the want too that Jamie Walker had. (PLAY HARD - PLAY HURT- HAVE FUN)--- One last thing I better see you here in July!!.
