Woodinville High School's 64-0 fastpitch softball win over Franklin last week prompted the KingCo 4A coaches to meet Tuesday night to discuss ways to avoid any kind of repeat performance and led to some soul-searching by Woodinville coach Jim Weir.

"Baseball and softball have been part of my life since I was 7 years old," Weir said. "The last thing I want to do is disrespect any opponent, disrespect the game. What happened is unfortunate. I have been questioning myself these last four-five days."

"I have so much respect for this game," he added. "What hurts me the most is maybe I hurt that [respect]. That was not my intention."

Weir said he was "shocked" by the final score after the March 21 game ended. He said he was concentrating more on making sure his players were playing the game right and had lost count of the score.

Most of those people are wondering why. They can't figure out why a guy who could easily afford hundreds of acres and complete privacy would build his dream house in the middle of their relatively modest Bath Township neighborhood.

They started wondering that in 2003, when LeBron paid $2.1 million for a house there. They really began scratching their heads two years later when he knocked it down to clear the way for something bigger and better.

Much bigger and much better.
