It wasn't pretty, but with the plethora of games the Glasgow Reds have been playing the last two weeks, it doesn't always have to be.

That’s about it. Eight years and about 72,000 miles ago I asked Beth Henville, the then sports editor of the Glasgow Courier why the Hinsdale Raiders weren’t getting any “ink” and could I do something to change that situation. Beth told me to “write something up and we’ll see what happens” and as they say, “the rest is geography.” There were several or more years when I didn’t miss a volleyball match, a basketball game or a track meet. Usually I traveled solo so I could visit after the games or so I could “write” my story on the way home w...
