Monday's court ruling denying the Bruce Trojan baseball team their deserved opportunity to play for a state title was extremely disappointing to put it mildly, but it paled in comparison to my disappointment with the lack of due process and the continued skewed priorities of the Mississippi High School Activities Association.

It's hard to accurately describe the emotion within the community involved with the Bruce Trojans’ victory in the Class 2A North Half Baseball Championship and in turn the punch to the gut when Dr. Ennis Proctor notified the school Tuesday morning they would have to forfeit because of an alleged rules violation. Hopefully the right thing will be done Wednesday morning in Clinton, and the Trojans will get their earned opportunity to play for a state title.

You've got to like percussion to sit in the Bruce Trojans' dugout. Sid Burt's Trojans aren't interested in your typical baseball chatter. They prefer a good beat, which typicallymeans a few baseballs or fists pounding the dugout roof. Rashad Turner and J.B. Long led the war drums Monday night as the Trojans laid down their best beat of the season, defeating the Eupora Eagles 4-2 in comeback fashion to advance to the Class 2A North State Championship against Hamilton.

It's called "The Magic City." It was certainly "magic" that it didn't rain on us while we were in Birmingham all last weekend. My wife Lisa and I chauffeured my mother-in-law Jo Ann Denley to Huntsville last Friday for her class reunion. We decided to drive down I-65 to Birmingham to stay the rest of the weekend until time to pick her up.

I've always been a sucker for history. I've tried many times to envision what it was like to go in the Bruce Company Store and have the cashier take my money and drop it in the container sliding back on the cable to the second story business office. I've tried to imagine what it must have been like at the depot with the train rolling through downtown Vardaman or the Calhoun City Square in the first half of the 20th Century when it was the center of business for so many. It's that fascination that got me excited last week at Rotary when Debbie Dunn dropped an envelope in front of me and said, "I thought you'd enjoy that."
