RONNIE’S RAMBLINGS
A
s I rapidly approach the end of my high school sports publication career I suspect I will become a bit sappy and maudlin in this column. Today seems like a good time to start. During my years publishing Sports & More I was occasionally criticized for featuring photos of student/athletes who finished well behind the leaders and even dead last. I was told these images were not of the “winners”. To those who made such comments I replied, “WRONG”. These are the kids who are the very definition of winners. They are competing with a bit less athletic skill and prowess as compared the “franchise” players, but they are competing at the best of their ability. They know full well their chances of

The operative word above is “begin�. I have yet to finish any of said projects. The lack of completion is not due to lack of effort, it is more a result of abbreviated segments of time to dedicate to any one project. Preparation and getting thing in order to start usually takes significantly less time that the project itself’ several of which will take days or even weeks. Until the 2016 spring sports season ends, I will not have any full days or weeks to address the actual project. For now I must settle of being prepared.
