This holiday season please remember all our military personnel around the world (and around the nation) and their families.

Reminder #1 to high school players interested (expecting?) to play collge baseball. Make sure you (and your family) keep up to date on rules, academic requirements / certifications / tests, scholarship rules / limits and such. DO NOT EXPECT SOMEONE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH FOR YOU!

Reminder #2 - You may not need to take the ACT or SAT to get into college. You MAY (I don't know) need to take it to get thru the NCAA “clearinghouse”.
