My child has read this thread and actually laughed....... I agree with ya 100% about the language though. Granted, I used some in my reply BUT.... I'm not an authority figure but to my own crew here at home!! LOLOL..... I do agree with OFH about Little League Baseball being the Greatest game ever played but sometimes change is good.... I am sooooooooo glad that this was my last year in Painstville. If my child decides to play All-stars next year and gets chosen to do so I will support him WHERE EVER it is..... (IF Jr. League is in Paintsville again next year)......Paintsville hosts a good tournament and I can't deny that their facilities are VERY nice and well taken care of BUT.... I stand by my earlier statement. I am just tired myself of hearing the same ol', same ol'. Maybe if it gets moved to P-burg next year Paintsville will do what they do best and then no one can throw hash. Prove they can win outside of Paintsville and then all the talk will stop!! Believe me, I have some issues that need not be discussed on here because of exactly what Midee said, the children reading this, so I will keep them to myself. Thanks Paintsville for holding the tournament and putting up with all of us trouble makers... teehee..... Maybe next year you won't have too!!!!

The Jr League division of Little League, began in 1999 and Paintsville, hosted the first State Tournament ever. Valley Sports won it that year and the division, has been great for the 13/14's. Once the 15's became the 15/16's, after the Big League 16-18's faded away, it allowed even more age players to continue.

Paintsville's JR's won back-to-back, one here at Paintsville and the other, in Jeffersontown. I was fortunate enough, to be part of that team. I get to hear stories, both good and bad of hosting tournaments, the countless hours, preparing, workers, coordinating, phone calls, questions and much more.

It takes a lot of many to make it work and some will never be pleased, no matter what. Some leagues have tradition and history, which is told to upcoming players and it helps inspire them, to be the best.
