“HEAR YE -HEAR YE-HEAR-YE!! IF OUR INFORMATION IS CORRECT, THE LAST NEVADA STATE HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TITLE FOR “YE OLDE” HENDERSON, NV. WAS WON ON MAY 22, 1987 BY BASIC H.S. That means 10,507 days or 28 years and 9 months have passed since our community has hoisted a championship banner.
After a Fall and Winter break, I am back to report from in and out of my ‘Fishbowl’ on the happenings of baseball and other community interests in “YE OLDE” Henderson, NV. My intent is to share with you my observations and analysis as it unfolds.
Hall of Fame Basketball ‘Great’, Bill Walton said he recently uncovered a great button. This was the crux of what was written on the button, “The Truth wants to be told. Silence is consent.”
At any time, as a reader please show me the ‘ills of my way’ if I ever stray from the Foundation’s Mission Statement, which reads:
To make a commitment to help honor THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE of the “YE OLDE” Henderson NV, Baseball Community.
To play a part, of the driving, force that helps manifest the dream/goal that brings a State High School Baseball Championship(s) back to “YE OLDE” Henderson, NV.
To challenge others to become a “Difference Maker” for not only themselves, but for others. And “When in Doubt” to remember to “TAKE 5”.
BEFORE MOVING FORWARD, A LOOK BACK IS NECESSARY. “TAKE 5” wants to recognize and thank the following for their contributions for the 2015 Celebration: Lori Dry Feher, Nick’s Mom; Nick’s brother and sister, Michael and Megan; Mel Godinez, Ed and Mark Costolo, Dave Blake, the Guardians of BMAC, our sponsors, and to all who made the 2015 Celebration possible.
“TAKE 5” wants to give the following local Smith’s Food and Drug Store personnel a one-man’s standing ovation: Nate Rose, Grocery Manager; Heather McMullen, Donation Coordinator; Jannen Miranda, Front End Manager; and Melissa Mavridis, Assistant Store Manager.
Through a ‘gentleman’s agreement’, Smith’s arraigned great pricing and included donations for the Celebration. Plus, more donations were given to the local Boys/Girls Club for a July picnic. “TAKE 5” looks forward to facilitating with Smith’s for future Celebrations and July picnics at the Boys/Girls Club.
