Talked to Mr Ragira the other night and he was telling me about Brian's trip with the U.S. Team and how they beat Cuba twice to win the gold metal. Cograts to Brian, great kid and great family.

Kimestry be lookin' right.

Jim, thanks.......we'd like to thank our gracious host, Fred Oliver and Highland Park as well as all of the participating players/teams: Arlington Martin, Dallas ISD, Arlington High, DeSoto, Plano, Mansfield and Plano West....our Texas players represented Texas as we knew they would and displayed a Texas sized dose of class by presenting Puerto Rico with t-shirts as momentos from their trip....a really nice topping to a wonderful four day event.

Ken: we agree, Kimestry is real easy on the eyes and a great singer too......

So, who played for Texas?? Did the Highland Park baseball team play? Did the HP coach, coach them?

Mustang Mom, Coach Oliver of Highland Park is well aware (as are all coaches i'm sure) of UIL stipulations regarding coaching outside of the Spring season....we just wanted to pay homage to the hospitality paid by the HP family.

The teams involved were listed in the above thread and did include Highland Park players as well. The players all represented Texas very well.........

Wow! My question had nothing to do with UIL stipulations! Sorry you missed and judged my intent incorrectly!

Accept my apologies..the teams were coached by non-head coaches and they did a great job.....thanks

I took it the same way...
Kind of a GOTCHA question.

No need to apologize! Just like emailing, this sort of communication is hard to de-code. I appreciate your apology! The program sounds awesome!!!!
