The Fort Mill 11 & 12 year old boys won the SC Little league state championship last week. In a couple of weeks they will head to St. Pete to play in regionals for the right to advance to Williamsport. Do we look at SC baseball the same way we view SC soccer? Are the FM kids prohibitive underdogs because they come from a small state and should not be expected to contend with the champions of Florida, Georgia and North Carolina?

Or, because Little League confines their teams to geographic boundaries......do the South Carolina kids have just as good a shot as everyone else?


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
