SUDOKU - Here’s how it works: Soduko puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle.

Bringing up underclassmen is a bad idea because you ruin your junior and senior roster, and if I remember correctly, they won the eighth grade championship. The underclassmen did not earn the position on the var- sity team. You don’t need them as you have a very good team without them. Play the kids that have the athletic ability. Parents aren’t owed a thing and the kids with talent are owed every- thing. I understand that because of the new pitching rule, more pitchers might be needed. Fine, if the under- classmen are brought up for that then that is what they should do. When they are not pitching they shouldn’t be able to play positions other than pitching if supposedly that’s what they were brought up for. Treat them like the upperclassmen are being treated, let them take a turn on the bench.
