In the last year, a couple of pro football players have been in the news, for their parenting tactics, of all things. It started nine months ago with Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison’s post on Instagram, in which he explained that he returned trophies given to his sons, because they were participation awards. On May 11, Harrison’s teammate, DeAngelo Williams, posted a photo of his daughter with three ribbons. In the post, he explained, “I took her Field Day participation ribbon & gave it back to her teacher...then in the next event she got 1st place.”

A solid seven inning effort by pitcher Garett Rempel helped to lead the Neepawa Cubs to their first win of the Santa Clara Baseball League season. Rempel allowed just four hits and no runs in Neepawa’s game on Sunday, May 29 against the Ebb and Flow Lakers, as the Cubs claimed a 2-0 victory. He aided his own cause by also going 1-for-3 at the plate with one run. Teammates Ian Kerkowich and Cody Pasowisty also contributed by driving in an RBI apiece.
