Big thanks to Silver Creek Little League



On behalf of the New Albany Little League I would like to send a big thank you to the Silver Creek Little League for allowing our 13 to 14-year-old boys a place to play and practice this year.

Unfortunately, New Albany Little League does not have a field available for this age group to play on because the High School or Indiana University Southeast's field is not available and there is no other field in New Albany big enough for this age group to use.

Hopefully, the leaders of this community will someday provide New Albany with the same facilities as our surrounding communities have. I can only wonder why Jeff, Highlander Youth Recreation, Silver Creek, Charlestown and Clarksville all have beautiful new or refurbished facilities and New Albany is still playing at a facility that is over 50 years old with no big field for the older kids to play on.

Again, I want to thank Silver Creek Little League for saving the baseball season for the 13 and 14-year-old New Albany boys by allowing them the use of their facilities to practice and play games on. Your generosity is much appreciated and you all should be proud for your actions.

— John Worrall, New Albany
