Alex Madding of Gore recently participated in the National Baseball Congress (NBC) 12-and-under World Series Tournament in Bartlett, Tenn.

Madding hit three home runs in regular tournament play and he won the home-run derby by slugging four homers to outdistance the field of 100 participants. He also pitched a no-hitter while striking out 15 batters.

Madding is the son of Bruce and Belinda Madding and a member of the NEO Baseball Club of Broken Arrow.

He is also a member of the Gore Cardinals, and during league games he hit eight home runs and threw a no-hitter in the district playoffs. The Cardinals finished third in the state playoffs.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
