Just to satisfy/silence the lion faithful. Eagle: please print a very small copy of snippets and the highlights from Goddard, America. Put THE WICHITA EAGLE at the top of it and lets all move on with our lives. Satisfied lions? ok after reading several posts i have come to a conclusion

That is okay because the Times Sentinel does a great job with high school sports. NW swimming has to be higher up than any of our teams that won league this spring; softball, baseball, girls track.

Rather it's a way just to get some kids, regardless of records, into the paper for a little fun. Here's some of the teams that were in that this spring -- East track, West soccer, Derby baseball, Valley Center golf, Collegiate tennis, Maize softball, Northwest swimming. It's a pretty good mix and it's not a knock on Goddard. If it were a knock on teams that aren't included, well, there are a lot of teams that haven't been.

They are just the number one seed in baseball, number one seed in softball, number two seed in soccer, and one of the favorites in track. And the golf team qualified for state. Not a big deal or anything. Anybody going to give Goddard sports some love in the “Three questions, three whatever”.

There are many families whose life revolves around this sport and we appreciate any good publicity you bring to this great youth activity. As a parent, former coach, water boy, and all around fan I want to say we have the some of the best players in the nation in this area. These young ladies are not only great athletics but they also excel in academics, community service and leaders in school. Jessica Odell or JoJo for instance teaches pitching to young girls just starting, assists in coaching 10-12 years old in two softball organizations, honor student, national and Spanish Honors Societies, big Sister a young girl mat risk, assists in Northwest Freshman orientation, student court and all around good kid. She is striving for a Softball scholarship but also has goals of teaching or coaching and even possible going into law. Jessie is just one example of many student athletics in our area that we should be proud of…win or lose I am proud of my daughter Jessica as I know of several parents and relative of softball players in our area are proud as well… Good luck to all our softball players!
