Summer baseball is finally returning to McNair Field. The 2018 season opener is drawing near, and the entire community is ready for action. Fresh off their victories as the 2017 First Half and Second Half Division Champions, the Owls are ready to provide an action-packed summer for our baseball-loving community.

It was a great Spring sports season for many teams in the county, but none of them could come up with state titles. There were only two left from last week as they reached the third round of the postseason.

The older I get, the more I enjoy the small rivers around my area. I used to be the lake type. I used to look forward to the sport, and even the competition of fishing.
