As I wrote yesterday not much interest where I live in the World Basball Classic! In case you don’t know Team USA defeated Puerto Rico 8-0 to win the championship.I think the championship game should be the lead story in sports though at least today. The Associated Press sports summary I saw today didn’t even mention it. I think […]
Explain to me how injuries to the Red Sox pitching staff are Dave Dombrowski’s fault. You might as well blame the injuries on Donald Trump. It makes as much sense. The WBC championship game between the USA and Puerto Rico is tonight at 9 Eastern Time at Dodger Stadium. Not a lot of talk about it […]
Don’t tell me about your bracket! I don’t care! It’s like making somebody watch your home movies. Anyway if you win your “March Madness” bracket pool it doesn’t mean that you know more about college basketball than anybody else. It means you’re luckier than anybody else! I hate the term “it’s tough to beat a team three […]

“Top of the Morning To Ya” It was a valiant effort for the UVM mens basketball team as the Catamounts fell to Purdue 80-70 in the NCAA Tournament in the first round. Cats had a chance, but couldn’t quite do it. The game was actually closer than I expected. Tomorrow is championship day in girls basketball with […]
I mentioned yesterday in my blog that at least three father son combinations have won basketball state championships with the latest being Rutland’s Mike Wood whose dad Leon Wood won a state championship with MSJ in 1999. There are at least four now because I got word yesterday that Dean Houghton the dad won three basketball […]
Rutland High is still basking in the glow of its first state championship in boys basketball at the UVM Patrick Gym on Monday night. Of course there has been no school since the victory because of the storm. A few side-lites: Off the top of my head so this is somewhat unofficial, but it appears that […]
As I said yesterday….you can paint the Division 1 boys basketball state championship Raider Red!!! Rutland winning its first state title in 50 years plus 2 days at the Patrick Gym. It was a long time in coming and it seemed that just about everybody from Rutland was there including a few members of that 1967 team!!! […]
It’s an exciting time of the year! Congratulations to the Proctor Phantoms as they took home their 17th state championship in boys basketball after defeating Twinfield in the Division 4 state championship on Saturday in Barre.
