Worth Noting will help you spread the word for your sports-related fundraiser, be it a golf tournament, barbecue, car wash, whatever. We will run these for up to a month in advance to help your cause for a charity, your team, etc.
If your son/daughter or nephew/niece or friend/acquaintance has signed an athletic scholarship, please let us know. It doesn't matter what sport or the size of the college, this is a great accomplishment and is worth noting. These will change every week. Also, if you made a hole-in-one, bowled a 300 or caught a fish bigger than your kitchen table, we would love to share that, too. These also will change every week.
In addition, we will track and update the season progress of Sam LeCure (Helias/Cincinnati Reds) and Blake Tekotte (Columbia Hickman/San Diego Padres) each week.
Send your info to tloeffler@krcg.com and it will be our pleasure to spread the good word.
BASEBALL
Bulldogs at Busch
The South Callaway Bulldogs will play the Salem Tigers on May 26 at Busch Stadium after the Cardinals' 6:15 p.m. game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Tickets, which are good for both games, are just $20 in the Left Field Pavilion section. After the Cards-Phillies game, fans can move down closer to the field.
As an incentive for selling tickets, the top seller on South Callaway's team will get to have batting practice with the Cardinals. The school is trying to raise money for a new backstop at the baseball field, and to help with fees associated with the summer league.
