We need your cooperation!! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SCHOOL BOARD PERMISSION TO USE THE BALL FIELDS, PLEASE STAY OFF! Three individuals used the field on Sunday afternoon while it was too soft/wet. This caused additional labor hours from our coaching staff and maintenance to get it ready for Monday's game. The community just invested several thousand dollars in improving the fields. We need your cooperation in keeping them in the best condition they can be. Thanks for your help!
