Hooray for West End Little League
Today, West End Little League concludes its 51st regular season. By virtue of winning both halves, the AFL-CIO Bulldogs captured their second straight championship.
AFL-CIO is managed by Michael "Red" Houser. The coaching staff includes William R. Nutter, William C. Nutter, Jeff Jenkins, David Vinson Sr, and David Vinson Jr. Team members include Aaron Stoner, Nathan Murray, Dustin Kicklighter, Michael Offutt, Emely Vega, Eddie Howlett, David Moser, Bryce Karn, Desmond Ingram, Brady Nutter, Isiah Lewis and Irving Pagan.
The West End Little League president is Randy Carey, and volunteer coaches are, Wink Suder, William R. Nutter, Bob Grove, Dick Wigfield, Kieth Weigand and John Thomas. These men have logged in more than 30 years' service with the league and other various teams, as well as Michael "Red" Houser contributing over 20 years of tireless service. My hat goes off for these wonderful role models.
An alumnus of West End Little League, Mick Billmeyer, is on the Philadelphia Phillies coaching staff as a catching/defense coach.
I would like to compliment the management, coaches, parents and players for a well-organized group, respecting each other and setting a positive attitude for all involved. Your sportsmanship and dedication is very valued by all.
Great job!!!
Garden is growing
My little flower pot garden is doing well, lots of jalapenos, habaneras, banana, cherry, and red chiles are forming nicely. Just tickles me pink.
Thanks!
I would like to thank Julie Fitz of Winter Street Elementary School and Linda Murray from Salem Avenue Elementary School for all the input for the column during the school year. I have appreciated and loved every article and picture both of you have provided. See you again when school starts!
