Festus freshmen win American Legion title
Josh Taylor now occupies a unique niche in the storied history of Festus American Legion baseball. The first-year manager of Post 253’s freshman (A) ballclub led the team to the state championship July 19 at Cape Girardeau Central High, with Festus edging hometown Post 63 2-1. Taylor played for manager Pat Bone when Festus won the senior (AAA) state championship in 2005. That makes Taylor the first person in Post 253 history to win state crowns as both a player and manager.
