"I saw a Waukegan team competing in the State Championship, and wish that for all of our Athletic and Academic programs."
I wonder, sir or ma'am how I lost all of my credibility with a statement like that? I wonder if it is not the wish of every dedicated Waukeganite? Sir or ma'am, You may be playing with an amatuer coach but certainly are not confusing me with your "alledged" lack of knowledge of softball in this city.
You made my arguement for me, with the question of why we are not in Division 1. I can only think of one team that would have done very well at that level in Waukegan's history. Many of those happen to be on the high school squad. This should have been a banner year. Been there to see an entire team of dedicated softball players working their hearts out, and many of them were on the team this year. My simple question from this simple minded man, where was the High school staff at, to make a difference in my community for this well paid position? My tax dollars pay for these positions, i wonder if I am wrong to demand my money is spent wisely? Is building a program completely outside of the bounds?
I saw players that have represented Waukegan well, in tears, after their last game of the season. What could have been a feel good moment for the seniors, was not that. I am so uttererly disappointed with witnessing this, I promise I will not go silently into that good night. Even when you have enlightened me with this litigation that could happen. You forgot one part of that, though, ole thoughtful one, I am speaking truth. And the truth shall set you free.
