Well, here we are the middle of May, and that means the high school baseball playoffs are starting. Boyertown was the 1 seed in the south with only 1 loss all year. They get a bye in the first round. Their second game will be Wednesday against either C.B. East or Spring-Ford. Boyertown was 2-0 against the Rams, but they will be looking to avange those losses and send Boyertown packing from the playoffs. Their possible third round oppenunt is Owen J. Roberts who the Bears defeated by total of 2 runs. Good luck BEARS and bring home another state title.

With it being in Mid May, that also means that the American Legion season is about the start. They start out with a home/away series with Doylestown this coming weekend, and Rick Moatz and his crew are searching for their 21st state title. They lost some players due to graduation, but there are still a good number of players back who have the legion experinece to help propel them to another state title. Boyertown will be hosting the American Legion state tournament in August.

The Lady Bears softball team after a slow start turned things around and received the 19 seed and they face the number 14 seed Neshaminy Monday afternoon. If they win that game, they would face the third seed and PAC-10 champion Owen J. Roberts. Sue Benfield and her coaching staff, did a great job, turning the season around and got them playing well and were able to turn things around after a rough start. Good luck the Lady Bears.

The Sixers lost to the Detriot Pistons, in the first round of the N.B.A. playoffs, but I feel that they still had a great season, and shouldn't hang their heads, but look to build on their success next season. I think that they need to resign the two Andres Andre Miller and Andre Iguodala. They still need help on the inside if they want to continue to be a contender in the eastern conference.

The Flyers some how some way, made it to the Eastern Conference Finals in the N.H.L. playoffs and are facing their cross state rival Pittsburg Pengiuns. I think they surprised everybody making it this far, and I think most people felt that they would have lost in the first round second at the most. They did a big turnaround from last years' dreadful season, and having nothing to be ashamed of losing in the conference finals.

I think that's all for now That's all for now enjoy the nice weather, and as Harry Kalas would say I'm OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HHERRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =0)
