incident where a coach was accused of grabing an approx. 10 year old boy by the

earlier in the year. This is another incident so now is suspended for one

year. All sports should support each other's decisions.
* Joint effort with
Babe Ruth 12-13 year olds had its problems. The season start was delayed
