As I got off the plane in Denver with my friends Larry and Patsy Swinney, I knew we were in for an extraordinary week at the JUCO World Series in Grand Junction, Col. Larry and Patsy has a son who plays baseball for Gordon College. I was there to support my son as a coach for Gordon and take photos for the team. We made the four-hour journey from Denver to Grand Junction and admired the beautiful Rocky Mountains that were capped with snow.

In reply to the story of Gordon Highlanders going to national finals. I am so proud of all the Gordon players this year. In case you did not know, two Pike Co. former softball players went to St. George, Utah to be a part of the National finals for the Gordon Highlanders Softball team.

The two girls are : Heather Maddox and Kaydee Boyt. These girls have played together since rec-ball years. They have also played on travel ball teams and now they are part of the Gordon Highlanders Softball team. Let's all let these girls know how proud we are of them Pike co was well represented this year in both Baseball and Softball. Way to go girls.

I knew I could trust you. Every other man is fickle. Maybe...maybe not...I don't know....I am fickle.

Gordon had three sports to go to the national Finals this year. A first for Gordon. I am very proud of Heather and Kaydee. Wish I had a daughter on the softball team, I would have been in St. George as well. I know both Heather and Kaydee. They are two of Pike's finest student-athletes. Had I been given some info on the games in Utah, I would have loved to have done a story on these two young ladies.

I think a story on these two is a great idea. Sorry no one gave you the info.
