   A comment from the Tremont Lady Turks coach summed up a great game..."They scared the sh_t out of us today!"  Both teams can be very proud of their seasons and every aspect of Saturday's Regional Championship game in Tremont. Not a run was scored until the bottom of 6th inning when with two on base Briley Spencer delivered a picture-perfect swing and powered the ball out of the park. An amazing game by both teams with very notable and appreciated great sportsmanship foremost by both teams. It was one of the best high school games I have ever seen/photographed.

   The game photos have been edited and are now online in my online photo center for viewing/purchase....All the best to the Tremont Lady Turks in the sectional and beyond....bring that hardware back to Central Illinois Girls !!!!

    I know that grandpa Bob had a huge smile on his face and a lump in his throat when Hannah Louise Huber walked on the field for the last home game of the Softball season. Hannah was seriously injured during the regular basketball season and this was her first official appearance in a sporting event since that time. Although only for one pitch, it was great to see this great Havana Lady Duck athlete back in the official starting line-up. Hannah is simply an amazing and beautiful young lady who has also been quite an impressive athlete over the many years she has been involved in many Lady Ducks programs. All the best Hannah, thanks for all the great memories, photos, and friendship...you are an amazing young lady!!!!!

   Was able to get work finished then it was time to really get into Louisiana from the old historic plantations of the Old Deep South, the great Cajun country of the Swamp, and yes, even the Big Easy! The scenery is almost as amazing as the people, but the awesome Cajun food is even better if that's possible, and believe me, I dove so deep into the crawfish, the Louisiana Oysters, the Jambalaya, the Gumbo, and shrimp that someone had to hang onto my ankles, everything was so remarkable and flavorful!!!! I was even invited to meet a bunch of great folks at a down-home picnic with all the trimmings as you will see in the photos...oh, and did I forget to mention the 14 foot 4 inch gator on a private conservation area....now put it all together you've got the only place on earth like Louisiana..... Thanks ya'll !!!! — at Pierre Part, LA.

   Tanner Osing did smoke the mile with a run just over 4 minutes in the HHS Track Meet on Tuesday, April 16th in windy and cold conditions. It was a great meet with lots of talent from Midwest Central, Rushville-Industry, North Fulton, and of course the Havana Ducks.
I remember a number of years ago seeing and photographing a Jr High basketball game with Tanner playing so well that when the game ended I went over to the exit of the gym as the team left the court to congratulate him on a great game. I hadn't met Tanner before that, but of course had known his grandpa Dale Osing most of my life as he was my Principal, History Teacher, and coach at good ole Balyki HS. Tanner continued to play basketball into high school at a very good level of talent and ability...until he really got serious about running, and to say the least, he does know how to run. Just watching him warm up leaves no doubt that he is serious, dedicated, and knowledgeable about the technical side of running. I don't get to many track and field events recently but I was very impressed with his attack on the mile race. Great job Tanner...you rocked it !!!!!
  Lots more photographs of the meet are now edited and uploaded to the gallery link below:

The 2013 Havana High School Prom...

   WOW !!!! What a great prom!!! I have been to a lot of proms but I have to say this was probably the best one I have seen. Just a really wonderful group of amazing young folks...everyone looked very beautiful and handsome and a huge congratulations to the Junior Class for a great job of decorating and organizing this event. With all the great planning they did, no one could have topped a moment that brought a huge round of applause from everyone in the gym when Summer Rae and Zack Pierson were introduced and reached center stage, Zack dropped to one knee and proposed to Summer to create a very special moment.
  
This year's queen and king is two great choices, Sarah Bonnett and Garrett Beck..... congratulations to a couple of really great young folks. The court was a really great group and what a tough choice this had to be.....with Jay Stinauer, Katlyn Rose Moita Taylor, Garrett Beck, Sarah Bonnett, Trey Murphy, Tori Hackman, Carly Baker, Tyler Ferree and Channing Holtman.
