In the midst of a world that has been out of the ordinary, our local high school’s sports have given us a sense of normalcy that we so desperately needed. Being able to sit at the ball fields in the evenings and on weekends has given hope that a normal life is not out of our reach. While there are so many issues yet to be resolved, right now we are thankful for a season, for friendships made along the way, for our county that has fought to give us back what so many lost.
Town Square is proud to introduce our senior baseball players to you and allow you to get to know them!
Read more about these young men below!
