Special to the Rappahannock News
One by one they came before the Rappahannock County School Board to talk baseball. Junior Panther baseball, as played by boys in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades at Rappahannock schools.
Those addressing the Board Tuesday evening want to save the Junior Panther program, and may well have succeeded.
First to make the pitch was Sean Knick of Washington whose son plays third base, and does some pitching.
Said Knick: “The only place these kids would have to play is Amissville, in the association games there, and they would be limited to two hours practice a week. At Rappahannock, they would be working out five days a week, — that’s real baseball.”
Knick’s most telling point was that to play in the private association games at Amissville, the boys must pay a fee of $75.00 to $125.00.
That figure startled some on the Board, and may well figure in future deliberations.
