Three New School Records

Midland, Texas - Some people say this editor is hard to work for. Is it too much to ask your reporters to be on time and have all their reports perfect the first time? I think not. Therefore when I level criticism at the reporting staff from Midland, faithful readers know that it is not without reason.

A case in point. Several days have passed since Reagan Brown competed in the MCS field day. No one outside the Midland area knows that he set three new school records on that day. If he had just set a new record (for his age group) in the 50 Meter Dash, I would excuse our reporters of their slothfulness. But he also set new school records in the Long Jump and the Obstacle Course.

This young man's body is power packed. He is built for speed. He has demonstrated his hand-eye coordination on the base ball field this year as well. His on base average is about .900 and his speed makes him a dangerous man on the bases. His defensive play is also outstanding. This writer witnessed a game where Reagan threw out a runner at first base from deep in the pocket at third and later threw a one bounce ball to the catcher from center field.

There is more. Reagan competed in the Bible Bowl and received a third place trophy. This allows him to be on the student team that will compete against the faculty of MCS. Teachers beware

With all the accolades he has received, this editor was deeply impress with Reagan's humble attitude. In a phone interview last night, I told Reagan just how proud we all were of him and his accomplishments. To which he replied, "Thanks so much for calling." Then he left to continue the evaluation of his golf game he had just completed with his dad.
