The start of the IHSA fall sports seasons started yesterday around Illinois.
I had the chance to talk to Carterville AD and Head Football Coach Brett Dial this afternoon to talk about the start of the season.
***Side Note****
I just realized that in the video, I stated the "Meet The Lions" night is February 19th. Obviously, it is August 19th. I hate it when that happens. lol
The 2022 Colt World Series kicks off in Marion this weekend at Rent One Park. I was able to corner the Tournament Director, Steve Miller for a few minutes to talk about this weekends events.
You can find all the information about the tourney by visiting https://www.coltworldseries.org or visit pony.org
I hope to see you all the ballpark this weekend as the 2022 International Cold World Series Champion is decided.
