State tourney went great

As president of Glacier Babe Ruth, I want to take this time to thank everyone in the community who has supported our baseball athletes. The state tournament was a success and it couldn't have been without you as a community.

It excites me to see the renergized community for baseball. Any program is only as good as the community backs it.

Congrats to the 13-year-olds for a job well done. Thanks again Whitefish, Columbia Falls and Bigfork, we look forward to serving your kids with the best baseball possible with Little League and up to Babe Ruth (13-15 ages).

I personally would like to thank the following people and families for their contribution of time spent to make things happen these past two years: Chuck and Brenda Houston, the Sapa Family, Don Bestwick, Frank Sizemore, Ron Olson and all the other umpires, Eric and Amy May, Kurt Blades, Bill Roche, Dan Blakemore, Blair LaGranduer, John Kalbfleisch, Kevin Slaybaugh, Carl and Kelly Talsma, Rich Newberry, Jordon Venezio, Derek Hutton, Julio Delgado, Sterling Hitchcock, Seth Carr, Trevor and Tina Kjensrud, Doug and Lori Jones, Caron Harwood, Liz and Tim Seymour,Tim and Lisa Olson, Dave and Jan Prier, Kris Queen and Morgan Cambell-Queen, EJ Walp, Tom Schuster, Mark Hayder, Todd Dowen, Benny Bee Jr.,the Hill Brothers and family, Treyson Hopkins and all the sponsors that supported Glacier Babe Ruth.

My apologies go to the people I missed that have contributed. We look forward to the future.
