COLONIAL WIN, ANDREW IN LIITLE LEAGUE ACTION TONIGHT



The Colonial Heights Colonials beat Petersburg last night 22-0 at Shepherd Stadium. The Colonials scored 22 runs on 17 hits and were lead by Jordan Reeves, Josh Markins and J.D. McCarty who had 2 hits a piece for the Colonials. On the mound Brett Draper saw his 1st action of the season on the mound since arm surgery last summer going two innings. Next up for the Colonials is a visit to Matoaca on Tuesday. The Colonials softball team beat Petersburg 10-0 and the boys soccer team also Petersburg by the score of 9-0. The Thomas Dale Knights beat Prince George yesterday 4-1, the Knights will step outside the CD when it plays host to L.C. Bird. It looks like Andrew's LL team will finally play its 1st game of the season tonight at Ironbridge park at 7:30pm on field #3 against the Braves. The Washington Capitals lost in 2OT's last night to the Flyers 4-3 and have now dug themselves a very deep whole in there series, they are now down 3-1 in there series. The New York Rangers will try to finish of the Devils tonight in New Jersey. It is going to feel like summer here today in Colonial Heights with a high in the mid 80's today and low 80's Saturday before it looks like we are going to get some heavy rain on Sunday. My PAIN index hasn't go any better today because I have pulled a muscle in my left shoulder which is causing much discomfort. My arm will get some much needed rest today because we are unable to practice today because the have a JV game in the stadium this afternoon, my arm needs a 3 day weekend after throwing allot pitches this weekend.

It doesn't matter if you try and try and try again, and fail. It does matter if you try and fail, and fail to try again. Charles F. Kettering

Turning point
Your troubles can sometimes be your greatest blessings. Because those troubles will hound you relentlessly until you make valuable improvements.

Your troubles help you to see and understand your weaknesses. And that enables you to start transforming those weaknesses into strengths.

The best way to respond to trouble is not to curse it, but to do it one better. See each challenge as an opportunity to raise yourself to a higher level.

As with everything else, your troubles are what you make of them. You can choose to make each one a turning point to a more positive and fulfilled life.

Many of history's greatest accomplishments were responses to terribly difficult problems. Many of your own greatest advances have been in response to challenging situations.

Choose to find the positive possibilities in everything that comes your way. And no problems will ever be able to hold you back.
-- Ralph Marston
