This story is a copy of my Storify. I am adding it here to keep an account for Webster County history on the TWCKY e-zine. It is my goal to document thriller or record events for Webster County Sports, as much as possible.
I also want to show support for all Webster County sports (basketball, baseball, tennis, etc.), whenever I can learn about their happenings, since I believe that's important to the community and the players. I encourage Webster County citizens to always make every athlete's accomplishments important.

Rallying to help him make it to
the game, Twitter users proved that the social media platform is an
awesome tool to aid others when it's needed.
Let's pick up where
Mike begins his plea for directions, then see how Hunter Nichols and
the Webster Baseball team pull off a win for the records -
Correction added: Reese Mitchell should be Reese Johnson. Alex Mitchell was batting.
