Yes, it’s true. I am not much of a sports person. Many of my friends are sports fanatics, so it’s amazing I haven’t caught the fever.  Most of the time when they’re swapping sports lingo I just smile and nod. If I’m hanging out with these sports friends when a game is on, I just eat lots of chips and cheer whenever they cheer. This is the reason I’ve been bad at keeping you all informed about local sports, but have no fear! My New Year’s resolution involves blogging more about sports. You might have to help me along the way though. Otherwise you’ll have to read posts about teams that scored goals in that game where there’s a hoop and a net.

Thank you Glendale News Press for the Sports Roundup! You’re getting me started on the goings-on of local sports.

Glendale 3, Burroughs 1: The Nitros, playing a day later due to rain postponing play on Saturday, defeated the Indians in the semifinals of the championship bracket of the Ralph Brandt Tournament on Monday at St. Francis High.
