My old hometown team is the Wylie / Abilene team that will play Michigan tomorrow. They destroyed Washington on Friday.
They have a little girl on the team that got 2 or 3 hits in that game. Scored a run also.
I lived in Abilene in the late 50's, started school there. Pulling for them and the Lafayette team. That pitcher for S.Dakota is something else.
Wylie was outside the Abilene City Limits when I was growing up there. Now it part of the City. But a separate School District.
We lived on Clinton St. in a rented house, then parents bought a house about a mile away on Clinton St. just down from the rodeo grounds. Left Abilene in '59.
Wow. One of my Great Grandmother’s lived on Clinton street down by that old Hardin Simmons Rodeo arena.
Sadly, that old Rodeo arena has been turned into a Soccer Field now.
I was born in the old Hospital just a few blocks from there in 1960.
