The 2011 high school football season is still months away and Brentwood Home Page already has scored a victory. Have I said lately how much I love our three high school football coaches, Brentwood’s Ron Crawford, Brentwood Academy’s Ralph Potter and Ravenwood’s Joe Rietveld – and I haven’t even met this Joe yet.

All three have agreed to be special guests at our Tuesday, Aug. 23 Brentwood Home Page Night at the Library even though it’s in the middle of the first official week of prep football. So mark your calendars now to be there.

Our first BHP Night last Tuesday was great. All six Brentwood City Commission candidates spent 90 minutes talking up close and personally with voters. And the refreshments weren't bad either.

Between now and the football confab, you can put these on your calendar:

May 24: Come and find out how to get your news – or news about your club, church, sports league, you name it – in BHP and other local media.

June 28: Parents of teens and preteens won’t want to miss an evening with Dr. Jim Wellborn, our There’s a Stranger in My House columnist. Have a question for him? Email it to news@brentwoodhomepage.com.

July 26: Anyone who loves a good story, especially about the past, will enjoy an evening with one of our other doctors, Dr. Bill Fleet.

If you have suggestions for other topics or themes for future BHP Nights at the Library, please let us know!

Good news, bad news
Austin Huff (no relation to the late Glenn Huff), our BHS grad who was a finalist for Charlie Sheen’s internship, didn’t get the job. The good news is he’s still around town and still producing his Korked Bats sports blog. If you love sports and irreverent sports coverage, be sure to check it out at www.korkedbats.com.
