That afternoon he went home with the kids and one of the children went ahead of him inside. The child came back out and said there was blood. He (the husband) went in and saw signs of a struggle and called the sheriff's office.

The kids had fun and it was real special for all of them because it was at home. If we were ever going to win one of these tournaments, we knew we had a chance to win this one at home. We've got a deep team and we are having fun this year.

Kids don't play baseball and football like they used to. Alternative sports are on the upswing.
