Thursday 3/27 saw the start of the spring sports season, though it felt more like the middle of January.. The Softball team opened with 2 losses to Southeast of Saline, 6-9, 1-16. I watched the first game, and I know it was cold, but there's some talent there. Jess Wollenburg didn't pitch bad at all, considering she had 4 layers of clothes on. Chelsea Freed was solid at short stop, and a 5 run 7th inning shows that the girls have some fight.
The track teams also took to competition, and let me tell you, it wasn't any warmer at the HS than the softball field. Despite a pretty good north wind and windchills in the 30's, the Buffs brought home a few medals. And while this isn't the biggest meet they'll go to all year, it's good to get some competition under your belt and get into the rythm of the season.
I got a few pictures taken at the game and track meet. You can find them at our photo album online. As always, if you've got a good picture, send it to me at krepsports@hotmail.com.

65 Bracket Street
If you want the low down on the Big Dance, head over to my cousin's blog...
http://65bracketstreet.blogspot.com/
He's been right on with his brackets for the last few years. It's not a predidtion of the tourney itself, just who's in, and who's out.
Perhaps the best competition is when me, my brother Aaron, and Tony and his brother Tyler have our contest on the tourney. No money changes hands, just the first round when we get together! Fun stuff.

Thanks ...
... to the players and coaches who put forth their very best effort every night.
... to the students, band, fans, and parents who yelled their lungs out in support of the team.
... to Tim Garman, who kept me awake during long road trips (execpt that one time he slept in the back), for his stat keeping , and most of all his witty comments that just make you scratch your head, or laugh hysterically (I may never recover from, "the defense was on that ball like ducks on a June bug...")
... to Deb and Christine, who have to put up with listening to me rattle off stats and numbers from every game I've ever broadcasted (It'll be 275 broadcasts at the State Track meet this May.)
... to Angie, who put up with me being gone on the road to games, at home to games, and being everywhere else to games.
... to everyone who has told me and Tim that we've done a good job, even if we were on air when you said it...
This a been a great year so far. Here's to the spring!
