Odyssey: Big Sky Stars Ready to Return Home

From Billings, Montana to San Bernardino, California to South Williamsport, Pennsylvania and back home to Billings, Montana seems like a kind of odyssey to some of us and perhaps to the Boys of Billings too.

They played with skill and verve and guts to win first the Montana State Championship, then off to San Bernardino to win the Northwest Regional Tournament, and then they were whisked away to Pennsylvania to get to the US National championship game where they were soundly defeated, 11-2, by the Boys from Huntington Beach, CA. The Gazette calls this an amazing journey and it was.

I prefer to think of it as an odyssey. Thankfully, they did not come back on their shields. They played with much honor and were well thought of by friend and foe alike. They bring great honor to their home town, their Little League, their churches, schools and neighborhoods. They should have some great stories to tell as well.
