Jim,

Your going to get me trouble with my team.  I was going over our route -- trying to get all the locations and times straight in my head :)!  The Centreville teams are the real stars of this years WSB.  The Maryland youth teams and their teachers/parents should all get standing ovations.  I have to admit I was a little shocked to open my eyes and find myself and my car surrounded by elementry school kids in one of the most secluded spots in all of Belle Plain State Forest (I thought it was a safe place for a quick nap).  When I got out of the car they informed me that they had just heard what they thought was a Golden-winged Warbler, which is a bird we have never seen/heard during
the WSB.  As Jim Wilson Sr. said, "How many elementry school kids know what a Golden-winged Warbler sounds like?"  That's why the Centreville teams rock!  Can't wait to see you guys next year.  Hopefully we will all be on the awards podium once again.

Jim Brighton
