Hello readers and friends of the Mountaineer Echo, I hope this week finds everyone in good health and happy spirits. Spring has sprung and we are already having temperatures in the mid 90’s. I will say this I was by no means ready for it to get so hot so fast. Always remember with it being so hot to stay hydrated.

We haven’t won a game yet, but we have gone from not getting any points to having anywhere from three to ten runs. So, we are showing improvement. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and As Always remember the Little Things.
