    Solution to the Mid-State League Problems

    In my opinion folks overlook a big deal when it comes to HPS and the Cardinal - depth and community. With BU, Fisher, Fairfield Christian and Rosecrans you have 15 to 20 boys and the same girls playing three sports a year. The kids know each other. Their siblings played another. It’s a rich...
