OK, let's get this over with. Regardless of the games I cover or stories I need to write, Saturday night is going to be reserved to watch the Cub's game in LA. It will be the first game I watch this year since baseball and I parted ways after the last strike in 1994 (Cub's season ticket money went to World Cup activities that year).

There has been lots happening, I've had a hard time keeping up quite frankly although I also try to balance how much I put on the site. What do you think? Need more or have I found a good balance? While you ponder that question (share your thoughts here) here's the latest:
Carthage School Board Approves Girls Soccer for 2009

At least 30 girls had signed up to express an interest in the program, and most appeared to be on hand at the board meeting.

Thought I'd point you to a few more recent season previews. I'll get my first look at a game on Saturday when I attend the Rolla Classic. I'm very excited about this season, there are going to be some serious competitive battles we're going to get to see this year.

Welcome to Spring soccer folks. The girls high school season is scheduled to begin this evening with Jefferson City Helias visiting Lebanon to take on the Yellowjackets. If the weather cooperates. I'm still working on getting schedules into my calendar so I can begin regular coverage but there's one important story to point to this week.

Brought to you by the Missouri Soccer Coaches Association. What timing on this one. The City of Springfield won't need any salt to melt the snow in the streets, this poll should generate enough heat to handle the snow and power the town of Richland!
