Garylee plays sports with local baseball teams that are ranked at the state level

Legendary St. Louis Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog has passed away at the age of 92. Known for his dynamic and fast-paced playing style dubbed “Whiteyball,” Herzog led the Cardinals to a World Series championship in 1982. The team continued to find success under his leadership, making two more World Series appearances in 1985 and 1987.

In other sports news, the STL Cardinals were back in action at Oakland last night, and fans can catch all the action on KUKU 100.3 and News Talk Radio KWPM. Additionally, the Boys high school baseball state rankings have been released, with some local schools making the top ten. Mansfield is ranked #5 in class 2, Licking is at #2 in class 3, and West Plains is at #4 in class 5. Congratulations to all the schools that made the list.

Looking ahead, the West Plains Sunrise Rotary Club will host the 22nd Annual Tom Smith Sunrise Rotary Classic at North Terra Golf Course on Saturday, May 25. The golf tournament, which starts at 10 a.m., is a 3-person scramble with cash prizes in all flights. Registration is open at $225 per team, and there will also be numerous hole prizes, including a 2024 Club Car Golf Cart sponsored by Clear Creek Golf Carts and Utility Vehicles. Free food and beverages will be provided for participants.
