Doug Herbert and the B.R.A.K.E.S. Program

360 Sports Network's James Dotson got the privilege to talk with NHRA drag racing star Doug Herbert, as well as Matt Reilly, the executive director of the teen safe-driving organization known as the B.R.A.K.E.S. Program, founded by Doug Herbert in 2008 after the tragic passing of his two sons.  The great duo talk about the beginning of the program, what it provides, and how you can get involved. They also discuss Herbert's racing career and his latest quest to break the land speed record!

Thank you to Doug and Matt for allowing us to talk with them about this spectacular program!

Little League - Isn't It About the Kids?

For every great story, there is one not so great. The Little League World Series is no different.

For the first time in the history of the LLWS, an African team made the trip to Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The team from Lugazi, Uganda, was certainly the fan favorite. The team had always played with minimal equipment and in bare feet before making the World Series. None of the players' parents could afford the trip to the United States.


But that doesn't mean they didn't have support. The town of Williamsport adopted the Uganda team as their own. Other Little Leaguers, too, took in the kids from Lugazi. One player from New Castle, Indiana, looked unhappy when talking to his mother one day. "Mom, they (the Uganda players) have nothing!" Well, they made sure that changed. Three truck loads of clothes and other items made the trip a couple of days later from New Castle to Williamsport, all for the team from Africa.

Their story is much more important than the outcome of their games. Uganda lost their two games, 9-3 to Panama (who is 2-0 and facing Japan in the battle of the last unbeaten teams in the International Pool) and 12-0 to Mexico (who is now 3-1 after defeating Curacao in the next-to-last elimination game in the International Pool, and will play the Japan/Panama loser).

Sadly, those two opponents (Panama and Mexico) are making headlines for something other than the results of the kids on the field.  They are in trouble for not following the Mandatory Play Rule.
