I was a referee this morning for the 3 on 3 basketball tournament at Grove fest, and it was afternoon before I finished. Man was it ever a cooker, but luckily I stayed plenty hydrated with water. Columbus Grove has a sixth grader that is going to likely be a heck of a player in high school, but he definitely needs to chill out a little bit. This kid wants to win so bad that it turns into more of a compulsion. He'll learn to relax and be a good sport in the next couple of years and be a fantastic player. His Dad was a great player in his day, and they play the same position.
I'll go up town tonight and mingle, and I'll be ready for the spectacular fireworks display.
