| Steve Stinson (Hotel in Williamsport, PA) | Posted 08/27/2006 @ 20:11:11 |
| I'm sitting in the hotel, watching it continue to rain, and it's giving me some time to reflect on the win yesterday that made US Champions of the Northern Little League, man, what a day! It's still hard to believe, it seems like a dream, but, when I woke up this morning and picked up the Williamsport Sun-Gazette and read the headlines: "Just Peachy"....it started to sink it....US National Champions. The World is next. Go get 'em guys, you're the team that can get the job done. Good luck on the mound (and at the plate, too) Kyle, I wish you the best. J.T., Josh, Kyle R., Cody, Matthew H., Ryan, Matthew K., Patrick, Mason and Patrick: Yall are the best. Coach Randy and Coach Richard: Best of luck, you're dedication and devotion to this group is unsurpassed, yall are to be commended. I can't wait to get to the stadium tomorrow! Steve Stinson | |

| Priscilla (Douglasville,Ga) | Posted 08/27/2006 @ 19:38:46 |
| Hi could someone please post a site where I can order a T shirt specifically for the Nothern LL team in Williamsport? I do not live in Columbus so I would need to have it shipped to me as well. I've already ordered a T shirt from Little League itsself, but it is not just for the Northern LL champs. Thanks, and best of luck to the guys tomorrow night. This just means you guys get one more night of rest and that also means more time for Carter to rest that arm to throw the heat tomorrow. : ) | |

| Guys, I can't begin to tell you how much I've enjoyed these past several weeks! As many folks have said, I'm not only proud of the way you've played the games, but even more proud of the way you've acted on and off the field! Inviting Oregon to taka a victory lap with you still brings tears to my eyes! That's what true sportsmanship is all about! Coach Randy and Coach Richard, y'all have been class acts! Thank you for settng a great example for these guys to follow! Parents, you've been awwesome, too! Again, I was so proud of the Moms showing Southern hospitality to the Oregon Moms ... y'all are the best! I pray before each game that the Team and Families will bring honor and glory to God and you're certainly doing that! Continue to do your best, but most of all HAVE FUN!!! Thanks so much for the memories!!! | |

| Priscilla Williams Wooten (Douglasville,Ga) | Posted 08/27/2006 @ 14:08:14 |
| I can not describe how happy I am to see another Ga team make it to Williamsport. You boys have done so good. This is the one dream all boys have when they play Little League baseball, and that is to make it to Williamsport. Out of the 1,000's of teams which started in district all star play only 16 make it to Williamsport. Now we are down to 2 teams. No matter what the outcome of today's game is KNOW that you are winner's. I just wish the parks would stop taking Little League out of them. Little League is a national past time and we have lost all of our little league programs here in Douglas co. For over 20 yr's I have been around Little League baseball. My Dad started out as a little league coach when I was 8. He then went on to become the Vice Pres. of the Bill Arp little league, then onto Pres., then onto Asst. DA for district 2 and then onto the DA for district 2 for many yr's. My youth was going to the ballpark 3-4 days a week. WAY TO GO BOYS!! | |

We are proud to be living in the same town in which Northern is based. You guys have handled all the pressures, glory, wins, and even the one loss with such poise and dignity, not to mention, amazing sportsmanship. Randy Morris is a fabulous coach and role model. What a great city in which we live! Y'all put us on the map for the world to see. Enjoy it all! Everyone in Columbus is so excited. Have a safe trip back on Wednesday and just know your fans will be there to welcome you. Hugs to all of you, Meryl Rifkin | |
| BIG FAN (Atlanta) | Posted 08/27/2006 @ 09:53:26 |
| Northern, you are the bomb! We have had a blast watching you play and we will remember this team for a LONG time. Even though you already have the best coaching on earth, we have to give 1 tip. If Japan pitches the closer from last night, take the outside pitch to the opposite field and it will be a long day for them. You are the BEST TEAM IN AMERICA. No one can take that away. | |
| Allison Estes (columbus,georgia) | Posted 08/27/2006 @ 09:38:41 |

Your boys will experience it tomorrow at 3:30. It will be absolute crazy up in Williamsport tomorrow.

| Can anyone tell me if the players have been able to read all the encouraging comments on this site? JB: A day's worth of comments usually adds up to about ten pages and I've been faxing them to Jimmy Lester in Williamsport. When he's able to get to the players and coaches, he passes them around. Most of the comments are too awesome for them to miss. I haven't gotten any feedback from PA but I know they were a big hit during the regionals. So the answer is YES. Let me also add that that's why I remove some of the venting comments from the site. It's not that they're necessarily ugly or offensive but this is a forum for positive shout-outs and for passing messages to the players and coaches. I've greatly enjoyed reading them myself! | |

| Terry Miller (Marysville, WA) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 19:55:24 |
| I am the father of an 11-year old player here in Washington. My son, Dylan, was born with one hand and pitches for the Marysville Firefighters. He also plays CF,2B and SS. He has made the 10 and 11 All-Star teams the past two years. On our summer team he went 12 innings without allowing a run and helped us to the title last weekend. He's a switch hitter. Next season he will be practicing in an official Columbus Northern T-Shirt!! And I will be coaching in one. I'm pretty sure that we'll be the only two in Washington with such attire. When I ordered the shirts, Kathy Conine explained to me the reason Kyle Carter wears his hat at an angle. I try to teach my son to respect baseball and have fun. We are having a tremendous amount of fun watching y'all. Good luck Saturday and Sunday! Thank you for the shirts! | |
| Kimberley Edwards (Midland, Ga.) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 19:44:56 |

Cody, I feel like a superstar the way people act waiting to talk to me about you. My phone has never rang this much before! I told everyone you learned everything from me, but told the truth shortly after hahaha!! Like I have ever played catcher, NOT! Everyone keep playing your game and you will bring home the World Championship! GO NORTHERN! Love you Cody! | |

Have a good rest of the summer and I and the WHOLE 2004 team hope to see the future WOrld Champs very soon! | |

| Pitching (Cols) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 16:00:17 |
| The two pitchers for Oregon cannot pitch on Saturday because each of them pitched more than 1 inning during the last game they played. Under Little League rules if a pitcher pitches more than 1 inning during a game they must sit out 1 game before pitching again. | |
| Greg Nauss (Warner Robins, Ga) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 15:33:08 |
| Headed up to Williamsport Pa. as I speak. Can't wait to see Northern in action. Congratulation Northern Little League! Josh great game at the plate and on "D". The other teams will second-guess themselves on walking Kyle because Josh is automatic at the plate. Kyle Carter, great job on the mound and at the plate. In 1983, my father took my brothers and I to watch East Marietta National Little League win the Little League World Series. This year we will take my nephew to watch Northern Little League win it all in 2006. In response to the "Big Northern LL Fan of Columbus, GA" Oregan can not pitch Derek Keller and Devon Dejordan. They will have to throw Jace Fry. Which he is Oregan #1 pitcher. | |
| Erich Meyers (ATL) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 15:32:31 |
| Off to Williamsport for another exciting weekend of Baseball!! Before I hit the road I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this website and thank John Broom for all the work he puts into it! Our sons played together on the Rangers for several years and every season was at my fingertips from Game Summaries to Pictures of the team to our player individual stats. Thanks to John I have every game from every year my son played A ball captured forever. And now thanks to him I have this incredible All Star run to add with them. This is not only something we all enjoy now but something our sons will cherish when they are grown | |
| Big K (Georgia) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 15:28:42 |

| Bill and Judy Mullins (Fortson,GA) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 14:02:34 |
| What a fantastic game! Kyle and Cody make a terrific pair. Our defense was awesome. I guess Josh won't be seeing anymore strikes thrown at him after those smash hits! Are they going to walk our first two batters now? Everyone of you is doing his job and that is what makes you so powerful. It takes a great TEAM to bring a title home and you sure have that! Congrats to all of you and your coaches too. Everywhere we go we hear folks bragging on ya'll. Good luck Sat. J.T.--we are all behind you and know you can bring this win home. Keep swinging those bats everybody! | |
| Fan of all you guys (Columbus) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 13:49:46 |

| Ken Sanders (Harris County) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 13:08:26 |
| Is that Tony Gwynn or Josh Lester hitting in the two hole?What a display of hitting. WOW. This 13 member squad has Columbus and the surrounding areas sitting on the edge of their seats. No matter what happens next I'd just like to say thanks for the ride. Good luck Saturday. | |

I have not missed a game in this series. I could watch you guys play all day. I was jumping up and down watching Josh Lester hit his triple!! Wow! My favorite pitcher has to be Mr. Kyle Carter. Mr. Cool. I will be looking for you playing in the big leagues someday. Great coaching also. Love to you all!! | |

| Great game guys!!! Kyle way to shut um down…You know that famous hat of yours would bring the big bucks on E-BAY…. All 11 of you shined last night!!! My boy May May I am so proud of you!! Your confidence was back last night at the plate. When you got the look in your eye that you had last night you are hard to stop. Way to wait on your pitch and not get behind in the count. When you do that you are automatic. I Love you boy and will see you tomorrow. | |
| BIG FAN (Atlanta) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 10:34:06 |
| WOW! I am in awe of that performance. Pitching inside, outside, up and down, at 75 plus, then dropping to mid 50's was masterfull. It doesn't get ANY better than that. To shutout a team that was 1 of 3 US teams left is incredible!!! That was a complete win with strong hitting, textbook bunting, and flawless fielding. This team showed up to win and you did. Come back on Sat with the same mindset and you will get the same result. I cant wait until Sat at 3:30!! | |
| Mallory, John and Kelsey (Cols GA) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 10:06:06 |

| Pitching Answers (Cols,) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 09:26:09 |
| The two Oregon pitchers that pitched in the last game cannot pitch on Saturday. They will probably go with Fry, who is their # guy. Kyle cannot pitch again for us until Sunday. | |
| Paige Bentley (Columbus, Georgia) | Posted 08/25/2006 @ 09:11:16 |
| WOW!!!! What a game!!! You ALL should be so proud of all that you have already accomplished.....you are one of the 4 remaining teams in this series. How awesome is that?!! We are all here wishing you all good luck on Saturday but, either way it goes...you've already won. Just go out there and HAVE FUN!!! It was so good to see you cheering each other on in the dug out.

I have two boys that go to Midland Middle School and we have had such a great time watching all of the games together! Best of luck and keep the great sportsmanship going! Also, to all the parents, I found a picture of Josh Lester on msnbc.com under the week in pictures. Its #9 in the slide show and has 373 votes so far for the best picture of the week! Thought I would pass that on for the parents that are keeping scrapbooks! Be safe, continue to play GREAT ball and remember to keep having fun! | |

JT keep taking your cuts,the ones who have followed you guys all year know that it is just a matter of time before you get it rolling. Kyle great pitching last night we are so proud of you.

Mrs Bray is pulling for all of you, especially you Kyle Rovig, since you are on her team. Mrs Seegar gives a shout out to all of you also! Good Luck guys. | |
| Big Northern LL Fan (Columbus, GA) | Posted 08/24/2006 @ 23:13:25 |
| Oregan pitched Derek Keller 4 innings and Devon Dejordan 2 innings in their last game. Can either of these pitchers pitch on Saturday? They could go to Jace Fry who pitched a solid game. Can KC pitch after 6 innings Saturday? If I only had a LL baseball rule book :^) Awesome game guys! Good luck and best wishes on the next round. | |

Coach Randy, way to keep the boys grounded. Keep up the good teamwork. We can't wait until Saturday. By the way, we watched most of the game at B. Merrell's tonight and everyone was going crazy!

| Way to go team! Just wanted you guys to know that when walking my son to class this morning at Mathews Elementary, sporting my NLL t-shirt, I couldn't believe how many other parents, kids, and teachers had on Northern shirts supporting you guys. I was asked by several of my son's classmates if I knew J.T.,Josh,Shady Brady, etc. I could tell these 2nd graders really look up to all of you guys, and all of your parents and coaches should be very proud of you, and themselves, for what you all have achieved. | |

| Another KC Fan (Columbus) | Posted 08/24/2006 @ 17:47:59 |
| Kyle on the mound would be a great decision. This would give JT another 2 days to rest that shoulder and would have KC on the mound for THE BIG ONE. | |
| Big supporter (Columbus) | Posted 08/24/2006 @ 17:43:06 |
| Take what your given. The majority of the pitching I have seen works curve balls away. Drive the ball the other way. It will be really fun to get into the other teams bullpen. This is what I think you were doing so well in the regionals. Get back to what works. Listen to coach Randy. He only wants to see you succeed. | |

| Avid Fan (Rivertown USA!) | Posted 08/24/2006 @ 14:09:52 |
| It's seems like yesterday when we all were huddling around our PCs listening to web casts hoping to hear if these young men would make it to play on ESPN in St. Pete. That was four games ago and here they are today playing in the semis for a shot to play for the U.S. Championship. What a thrill ride this has been for so many! Players, coaches, fans, parents...the series starts today. I'm borrowing a quote from a manager of another LLWS team. "New day new game. Regardless of the mental and physical errors, the homeruns, etc. It's all history channel". Forget about batting averages and ERASs...errors and lack of piling up the HRs. This game and others are the ones we will all remember. The time is now. Focus on the present. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Just go play baseball. Focus like you did against that gritty Dunedin bunch from Florida. Kyle, you were clocked @ 81 MPH all night long! All of you were laser focused. Let's see that same look tonight. Go EXECUTE! | |
| Chuck Rossi (Upatoi, GA) | Posted 08/24/2006 @ 14:04:11 |
| Guys, There's nothing left to prove, just 3 games left to play. You are, and will forever be, CHAMPIONS! Sometime during tonight's game, take just a moment to step back and see where you are - and take a mental picture. It will take years for you to fully appreciate this experience. Walk out on that field tonight with the confidence of knowing you can win this game. You continue to have our complete love and support. Now, let's finish the drill! | |

| Micki Masters (Columbus, Georgia) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 19:37:18 |
| Kyle, congratulations! Brandon and I have been glued to the TV every time you guys play. We are very happy for you and are not surprised by your talent. We remember the big plastic bat and "pitch to me" was your favorite greeting. Richard and Cindy, I know you are loving this and you're "looking good" on TV, too. By the way, Kyle, one of your pics in the LE looked just like Keith--unbelievably so. Congratulations to the entire team. You guys are making all of us in Columbus very proud. Stay focused and bring it home! | |
| Marquette and Rick McKnight (Hometown of the Best team!) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 18:15:47 |
| Randy Morris -- you are a CLASS act. From what we've seen on TV this week -- and I'm sure it's the norm -- you have been so encouraging and supportive of the boys on this team. You are the kind of sports mentor and inspiration all coaches/managers should aspire to be. These boys will always be winners because of the fine example you have set for them. (And the fact that you're a UGA fan makes it all the better -- must have been exciting when Coach Richt called you!) We (fans and teams alike) don't have to trash anyone or anything else -- just focus on the good stuff and 'rise above' all the rest! We love you guys and will be tuned in to watch you WIN on Thursday. | |
| Erich Meyers (Atlanta Ga) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 18:13:59 |
| Kyle you did pitch awesome last night... Patrick that was one heck of a play at third... Brady great hit and you really looked focused on first. Matthew what a catch in center...And what about the play J.T made at short talk about a flame thrower. Way to put the bat on the ball May May...And way to talk it up and stay positive for your team! K.C rock your hat anyway you want! There just hating because you are a tremendous athlete with style and character. Josh you are a without a doubt one of the best hitters in this tournament so keep your head up and get um Thursday. Matthew K. You are a real team player and a perfect definition of sportsmanship. Cody you are always awesome behind the plate and in the box and all around star. Ryno you are the spirit of the team and always come through weather it scoring a game winning run or making a big catch... All of you boys together are the definition of TEAM!!! GO OUT THERE THURSDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY and when that trophy together! | |
| northern fan (cols) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 17:48:01 |
| I listened to the post game interviews from our loss last night, posted on littleleague.org. Coach Randy displayed alot of class, focusing on the kids, avoiding the reporters temptations to get into mud slinging with the other team(s) and generally keeping things in perspective. Let's put this game behind us and run through the rest of this tournament. We can do it! | |
| natalie! (williamsport) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 17:18:40 |

| Nick Henderson (Leesburg,GA) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 16:16:59 |
| I have been following you guys since region. I am so impressed with all of your attitudes and personalities you all have. I believe you all are the best Little League team in the world. No big deal on the hat tilt either Kyle I am going to tilt mine until you all bring the World trophy back to Georgia. NOW GO PLAY BALL | |
| EDITOR (COLUMBUS COMMUNITY NEWS) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 15:46:31 |
| I have talked to and interviewed Kyle Carter several times for our newspaper. I asked him about the hat and he told me that ever since he was 3, when he first put on a ball cap, that he has always worn it slightly tilted. It became such a habit growing up that it turned into a superstition for him. He also told me that his other superstition is to wear a pin of a cross inside his hat. Inscribed on the pin are the words, "Watch over this player." Baseball players and other athletes can be very superstitious, and these are two of his, according to Kyle. | |

| Way to go guys!! I have never been so proud of a team after a loss in my lifetime!(That's about 3 lifetimes for you guys!)You all are a class act and I am so thankful that my boys are a part of the Northern Family. Seeing you guys with your incredible sportsmanship and attitudes makes me proud to just be a baseball Mom. You guys just hang in there and show those Yankees what respect is! You have the best coaches that a team could ask for and Columbus is proud that you all are representing us! | |
| Jody Pate (Columbus) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 10:34:49 |
| Randy and Richard, way to keep your cool. The Illinois coach is an absolute disgrace to Little League! Obviously he didn't expect to win from his post game antics. Your team will prevail! You guys are true champions. I thought it was a masterful coaching job on your last visit to the mound. Everyone assumed that you were pulling Kyle Rovig and you went out and reminded the kid to stay calm and gave him encouragement. When we start hitting like we know how on Thursday, everyone better watch out! You guys are great.Illinois is done! | |
| FAN (COLUMBUS) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 10:30:58 |
| KYLE R. YOU DID A GREAT JOB PITCHING LAST NIGHT. GREAT CATCH PATRICK AT 3RD; WAY TO GET ON BASE BRADY; GREAT CATCH IN CENTER FIELD HOLLIS. ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE CONTINUING TO DO GREAT. KEEP UP THE GOOD, HARD WORK. WE WILL BE WATCHING AS YOU CONTINUE THE PLAYOFFS. YOU HAVE WONDERFUL COACHES THAT ARE BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY. ALL OF YOU HAVE CLASS AND IT COMES THROUGH LOUD AND CLEAR ON THE TUBE. STAY FOCUSED, TRUE TO YOUR GAME AND I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR THURSDAY GAME. | |
| David Carr (Columbus, Georgia) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 10:18:36 |
| WDP. Good post. I feel sure the world will find out on Thursday night why 12 year old Kyle Carter wears his hat the ways he does. I just found out this morning from an "insider". Take it to 'em on Thursday Kyle! | |
| Big Fan (Columbus) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 10:15:19 |
| Ok the Great lakes coach wants to talk about respect, well what about that stupid little dance he did right after he shook Coach Randy's hand last nite. that was rediculous, well all he did was throw fuel into the fire!!! And he thinks Ferry is the best ball player in this tournament let's see what KC has to say about that if we get the rematch!! they might have won the Battle, But were Winin the WAR!!! Go SOUTHEAST!!!!!!!!!! | |
| Paige Bentley (Columbus, Georgia) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 10:10:05 |
| Chin up guys!!! You all are already winners and you played an awesome game against a tough team. Don't even think about anything Mr. Personality said last night to his team, just keep your head in the game, play hard, and remember how far you have already come. We'll be watching and celebrating your triumph!!! | |
| Big Fan from Columbus (Columbus Ga) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 09:36:08 |
| Chins Up! You guys have shown the world that you deserve to be there. Your poise, skill, dedication and respect for the game is what has gotten you there. Its time to run the table boys! We all know that you can. | |
| Jack Stollings (Geneva Fl.) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 09:36:01 |

| Chuck Rossi (Upatoi, GA) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 09:35:03 |
| Stay positive. You've encountered 17 teams along your journey that have tasted defeat at your hands and are no longer playing. You get to play more baseball tomorrow. Never forget the bad taste but let that motivate you to desire even more the sweet taste of victory. Stay focused. Stay aggressive. Stay poised. And while you're at it, have FUN! Remember what Jason Varitek told Erin Andrews. This is the most fun baseball will ever be for you. | |
| Another Northern FAN (Colorado) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 09:11:32 |
| It's seems as though the Illinois coach lack of respect for Little League Ball players has affected more than just me. Maybe he needs to talk to Dontrelle Willis about respecting the game of baseball. You guys are doing a great job and I know that everyone of you respect the game of baseball. So go out there and teach that Illinois coach the true definition of RESPECT! | |
| Chris Hopkins (Columbus) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 09:09:54 |
| Kyle Rovig, great game last night. Cameron was glued to the TV watching you. No need to get upset over that one. You pitched great. Unfortunately, you all may not face Illinois again. But if you do, take 'em down. Good luck and have fun on your day off!(after practice of course!) | |
| Denny Gentry (Phenix City, Alabama) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 09:05:27 |
| Tough loss guys but I hope more than anything you get another shot at Illinois. Just play hard but most of all have fun. Good Luck against New Hampshire and the rest of the tournament. We are all pulling for you here back home and you have made everyone proud of you. Denny | |
| Fan (Columbus) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 08:50:10 |
| Your hearts and love for the game are what make you good, working together as a team is what will makes you great! Keep your chin up and hold your heads high. Think about how far you have come and don't give up now. Dig deep and remember the reason you are where you are. Play like there are no cameras, play like you are at Northern...Kyle R., a two hitter...can't beat that, Cody W., keep up the great work and be a leader, Pat, ESPN replayed that awesome play several times! Hold your head high and prove to everyone why you guys are there!!! | |
| Northern fan (Columbus) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 08:32:12 |
| Thanks Coach Randy for not disrespecting the game by running down the other team in front of the whole country when you knew you had an open microphone. Thank you that when you won the last seventeen games in a row that you spared us the victory dance at home plate. Save that for the World Championship game. Thanks for having enough confidence in your team's abilities that you didn't feel the need to try to get in the heads of the other team's players by appointing yourself the fashion police. Thanks for being a class-act. We love the way you're running the team. Put this one behind you and win the rest. | |
| Mikah Garcia (Columbus,GA) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 08:20:14 |
| Hey that's baseball for you. Just relax and wait for a pitch that you can drive when your at the plate. Kyle R. you pitched a great game last night. I have feeling that ya'll will be seeing them again. Just stay focused and let the game come to ya'll. Just come together and get the job done. | |
| Steve Mathis (Columbus Ga) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 08:02:51 |
| Hey Guys forget about last night,win or lose your in the same position. Kyle just have fun the pressure is on that kid 46 ft away from you. Don't forget you play like you practice, you practice like you play. Work hard for Coach Randy And Richard today and lets do this!! Good Luck! Work Hard! | |
| Laura Adams (Midland) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 08:02:32 |
| What a game guys! Just remember to keep your chin up and keep on playing. Kyle Rovig, you did a great job tonight and what a catch Patrick Stallings! That was a major league catch! Y'all just enjoy today and remember why you are playing, for fun!!!!!!!!! See you Thursday! | |
| FAN (C-Town) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 07:38:14 |
| Rovig great job. You pitched good enough to win, great performance. Move up in the box when you know it is a curveball count. Do not hang your heads, we got some baseball left to play. Practice with a focus today, and then relax and enjoy the games. | |
| Steve Stinson, The S&S Company (In Williamsport, PA) | Posted 08/23/2006 @ 07:22:53 |

Now, it's down to 3 games...the final steps are determined: Thursday, beat New Hampshire, Saturday, win the US Championship, Sunday, be on top of the World! Good luck the rest of the way, it's an honor to be in Williamsport with you. Steve Stinson | |

| John Broom (Columbus) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 23:40:08 |
| Great game Kyle Rovig. A two-hitter is something to be proud of. Maybe Oregon will take care of this team or maybe we'll get another shot. For now, focus on beating New England and continue to be the class acts of the tournament. | |

| Betty Hemrick (Blue Ridge, GA) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 13:24:07 |
| Patrick, everyone is so proud of you . . . you are playing great! You are a terrific 3rd baseman and have an awesome swing. I watched Saturday's game at DeLancy's and 4-year old Calle kept saying, "Grammy, what's bases loaded mean?" Good luck to the team and remember, win or lose, everyone is so PROUD of the whole team from Georgia!!! | |
| Sue Funk (Midland) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 13:20:18 |
| Guys I think y'all are doing great. I have been most impressed with the manners I have seen y'all display. When Kyle was interviewed he said Yes ma'am and I think it is great that the country can view gentlemen that are great at a sport. Remember younger kids are looking up to you. I'll be watching again tonight wearing my shirt. Best of luck! | |
| Eddie Beach (Columbus) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 13:14:30 |

| Beth Partridge (Phenix City, AL) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 12:50:19 |
| Cody, I can not begin to explain how proud we are of you. We have been watching every game and every time we see your face we start to smile. You are doing an awesome job as a catcher and we can't wait to see you hit another home run! Just keep your head high and remember that the sky's the limit! We are all rooting for you back home!!! Go #21! | |
| Rafe Massengale (Columbus, GA) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 11:05:11 |
| Keep up the hard work guys, you are the best team there. It was fun getting to see you all over the weekend. Thanks to the players who spent time with Hughes and Harrison, they had a blast, you are all hometown heroes. If any one is even thinking about going to Williamsport, do it, it is one great experience. Stay away from those New York crazies at night. | |
| Northern Fan (Columbus) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 10:04:18 |
| GO NORTHERN---YOU CAN DO IT! You have heard that since the season began this year, and you know you can. Stay focused, play your game and everything will fall into place. Everyone in Columbus is watching, cheering, and supporting the team, from the very young to the very old. Enjoy your game, have fun, and go get'em tonight. Good Luck. | |
| Connie Minshew (Cordele, GA) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 10:01:22 |
| Way to go Columbus team. We've all been pulling for you for Cordele. You are an awsome team to watch and we wish you luck on game 3. Patrick (in case you don't know who I am) I'm you mema's (Billie Stallings) first cousin. Your great grandma is my Aunt Jean (my daddy's sister) We're all pulling for you and your team for another great game and win. Keep up the good work. | |
| Kimberley Edwards (Midland, GA) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 09:49:29 |
| Cody, You are doing an amazing job! We are so proud of how you are handling yourself on and off the field. You are really making us look good back home. The way you handled the situation with the umpire on Sunday shows what a true leader you are. Keep up the good work and bring the win home! Miss and love you!! GO NORTHERN!!! | |
| Josh Lee (Midland, GA) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 09:20:15 |
| Cody, You are going a great job! Remember..hit the ball hard, it dosen't have to be a homerun everytime (I know what M.E. asked for hahaha!). Putting the ball in play will get runs on the board. Good job on talking to the umpire, don't need him upset with us. You are a wonderful player and it shows everytime you play. With your attitude and skill, I bet a lot of high school and college coaches are looking to speak to you after all this! | |
| Bill and Judy Mullilns (Fortson,GA) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 09:00:46 |
| Good morning everyone. What a team you have! Each one of you sould be proud of the part you are playing in this effort to bring home the championship. You definately have what it takes to go all the way, but even if you should not, you are already our champs!! We love you and we will be glued to our TV tonight. Go get 'em Northern!! | |
| Jonathon Williams (Phenix City, AL) | Posted 08/22/2006 @ 08:55:56 |

| Someone (Pittsburgh PA) | Posted 08/21/2006 @ 20:03:34 |
| I love to watch this baseball team on TV. I found this team to be great. They are hard working and have been very exciting to watch. My favorite player is Ryan Lang. In the game against NY he did everything got a walk, a hit, scored the winning run winning run and got the last, and even told the Catcher some smack talk. Even though the NY Catcher gave him a hard time he scored the winning run and he had the last laugh. This is an AWESOME TEAM! | |

By the way, is there any possible way I can buy a Northern All-star hat that was worn in the regionals? | |

| Guys it was great being with you this weekend! Enjoy your day off but keep your eye on the goal. Don't let anything distract you from accomplishing your mission. Encourage each other at all times and rise above any adversity you encounter. From this point forward, it's going to take everything you've got so make sure that's what you leave on the field every game. To say we are proud of you does not begin to express our feelings. We love every one of you and pray God's richest blessings on you as you compete in this tournament and, more importantly, as you grow to be all HE wants you to be. | |
| Lori (Cataula, GA) | Posted 08/21/2006 @ 12:02:31 |

| Southeast Fan (North Carolina) | Posted 08/20/2006 @ 19:24:51 |
| Great job guys! You impressed everyone at St. Pete, now the rest of the world will be hearing about you! But with fame comes the bull's-eye. They are looking for your weaknesses. Be tough on defense and watch for those "inside pitches" they kept calling strikes that Goetz threw. ESPN TV gives a "view" that you may not appreciate in the dugout. I think you all can do it, but play every game, one game at a time! Good luck Northern!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| Danielle, Vicki, and Miss Judy (Columbus) | Posted 08/20/2006 @ 18:09:07 |

| WOW!!! How exciting! We are so proud of our boys from Columbus! Not only because of how well you are playing but because of your composure and good manners! There was an article in today's paper, featuring your host "uncles". They couldn't say enough about how respectful our boys from Columbus are. They compared you to the team from Japan saying that they haven't been hosts to another American team as respectful as our team from Columbus,GA! Kyle, we were so proud of the way you handled yourself during the post game interview with Erin(ESPN)! You were composed and humbled even though you have every right to have "attitude"! You ended your interview with a "Yes, maam" like a true southern gentleman making Columbus look good, once again! We will continue to watch y'all and cheer you on to VICTORY!!!! Keep up the great attitudes and know that we are all behind you 110%!!! God Bless all of you!!!Kelly, Greg, Kelsey, Shelby, Allie & Kelsey =) | |

| Excellent job, Northern! Coach Randy, you are doing an excellent job leading the "brawny bunch from Columbus, Georgia" thus far. I'm sure big brother is proud. The hunger and desire exhibited by this talented group of kids cannot be denied. They are truly an inspiration. Continue to steer the course. Williamsport and the world awaits. The best of luck to ya'll. Continue to play one game at a time and great things will happen. Mike, Ashley, Kaitlin, Cal and Ally. | |

| I am so excited for the team and coaches. Northern has had great all-star teams the past three years and this year shows when you have a great team, you must have great coaches to support the team. I am very happy to see Randy and Richard coach the team. Great coaching can make a world of difference. I give much praise to Randy! Hearing him encourage Cody Walker before he batted showed he was the best man for the job. Keep up the good work Randy and Richard! You have many, many supporters! | |
