Springtime in Oregon and the crowds rush to the ball fields, tennis courts, and track stadiums to watch the games. Unfortunately, the very wet weather we have experienced lately has put a serious damper on the festivities. Several baseball and softball games have been cancelled and the teams are working to reschedule those events. Practices are being held indoors for most sports, since the fields and courts are too wet. We hope the weather will cooperate just a little over the next few weeks so we can move forward with the spring season. To keep up with the schedule, check the listings on High School Sports.net, or you can click the link for a specific sport listed on the menu along the left side of the website. |
