Tailtwisting: Lion TT Bill Archambeau fined the President for a late start but still got Lions Scott Harkey and Libby Gleason for not being here on the hour. The Tailtwister then got into the trivia questions and got lots of money…

Brian noted the teams which make-up the league: From Texas – Amarillo, Coastal Bend, Rio Grande Valley, San Angelo, Edinburg and Fort Worth. Other areas include: Alexandria, La; Jackson, Ms.; and Ozark from Springfield, Mo. Brian’s group will be bringing “fun” and “credibility” back to the Fairgrounds Field. Admission into the park will be $3.00 – there will be a kids’ 12 and under to be a part of “the knot hole” team – for them, all home games for $20 for the entire year. The website for the new team is www.shreveportsports.com . The players make $700-$2,300 per month – it will be a four month season of 48 home games.
