The Edgefield Monarchs Want (And Need) YOU!

BETTIS ACADEMY – Local fire-ballers and sluggers in Edgefield County should listen up – coach Wilbur Gordon wants you!

Gordon and his staff are looking for players to fill out their Edgefield Monarchs roster before the Community All-Star League season begins again in August.

“Right now I have about 20 guys and almost all of them are from Edgefield County,” said Gordon. “Some of these guys played high school ball and weren’t doing anything so I went out and got them. That’s the reason I’m in it to help these guys to have something to do. That’s why I’m doing it. There was a lot of talent just sitting around doing nothing.”

That talent was put to use winning ballgames in the team’s inaugural season, something some said couldn’t be done.

FEATURED OPINIONS

I'm Getting Old And Opinionated

Why is it the older we get the more pessimistic we become?

And not only do we become pessimistic but we also become opinionated as well. Now I have written several times about how I am slowly becoming an Ebenezer Scrooge. My paternal grandmother has always been that way. For instance, years ago she discovered that wrapping gifts in newspaper saved her a few dollars because she didn't have to buy wrapping paper. The concept is good save the blackened hands after the gift was unopened.
 
This woman probably has the first dollar she ever made and has worked hard for everything she has. From her I learned that when we finance something we are giving someone else control of our money. When you think about that powerful statement you realize the old girl is right.
