Just FYI

NOT SURE WHAT A YOUNG MAN HAS TO DO GET SOMEKIND OF RESPECT FOR HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN BASEBALL.  DYLAN RAPER FROM GLENPOOL HIGH SCHOOL COMMITTED TO OU TUESDAY TO PLAY BASEBALL AND NOT ONE THING IS MENTIONED.  THIS KID HIT ALMOST .600 LAST SEASON, CAN RUN A 6.5 SECOND SIXTY AND PLAYS WITH OR AGAINST ALL OF THE OTHER PLAYERS THAT HAVE HAD WONDERFUL COVERAGE FOR THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.  I UNDERSTAND THAT GLENPOOL IS A FOOTBALL TOWN BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER WONDERFUL KIDS AND ATHLETES IN OTHER SPORTS.  I KNOW GLENPOOL ISNT A BASEBALL MECCA LIKE OWASSO BUT ONE THING YOU CAN SAY ABOUT DYLAN RAPER AT LEAST HE HAS STAYED LOYAL TO HIS SCHOOL AND HIS TOWN.  I GUESS HIS PARENTS COULD HAVE MOVED TO OWASSO TO GET THE PRESS HE DESERVES BUT WE FOR ONE ARE GLAD THAT HE STAYED IN OUR LITTLE TOWN.  IT HAS BEEN GREAT WATCHING HIM.  I JUST FEEL HE DESERVES SOME OF THE LIMELIGHT TOO. HE HAS WORKED SO HARD.
