I hate co-ops in the Rhode Island Interscholastic League. It's not the schools. It’s not because of the players. It’s not what it represents — communities unable to fill teams themselves, so they're forced to combine together to play as one. It’s the names. When I...

The OK Too is tied up there now, and to the uninitiated in Wickford, that might not seem like much of a big deal, but it is. You see the OK Too’s moniker is a tip of the hat to the fine boat that preceded it on this mooring, the O.K. and that is a vessel that had a story to tell.
