From The KMIL  News Room

(Cameron)  In the beginning, there was a tennis "challenge" in the summer of 2000, featuring KMIL's Breakfast Club host Rob Reed, in which The Robber ultimately declared... "He beat me bad!"  As Reed lost 12 games to 1 to a man known only to Central Texans as "Tommy the Tennis Pro".  On the plus side for Reed, the tennis match did benefit the Central Texas Hospital Auxiliary, in raising some much needed money.

Now comes another athletic-related challenge.  Earlier in January, KMIL play by play man and staff meteorologist Chris Ormston (pictured left) and No Name Sports Show co-host Reed (no pictures allowed) discussed the upcoming Yoe Lady softball season.  Being new to the Cameron area, Ormston posed the question to Reed..."How is the pitching this season?"  Reed responded by talking about Jr. hurler Candace Culpepper, who helped lead the 2000 Lady Yoe to the second round of the 3A state playoffs a year ago.  It was then that "The Challenge" was born.  Ormston,  self proclaimed midget league MVP, proudly boasted that he could hit her.  And the challenge was on!  During a radio Sports Show Ormston and KMIL personality James Dickson put the poll to the KMIL listeners, and the poll overwhelmingly voted in favor of Culpepper in the challenge.  In Addition, several callers expressed a willingness to donate money to charity for this event... Even Ormston said he would donate $20 for every strike against him.  So it looks like even if Chris strikes out (and he probably will), someone will benefit...    Cast your vote, and make a donation (optional) to the Yoe High Softball Program.
