Vernon Lincoln Park, 6:00, JH BB plays a regional game here Tue., 4:30 and the JH CC County meet is Wed., which brings me to another issue altogether. Rain. Oh boy. If it rains JH BB and SB get pushed to Wed., AND JH CC gets pushed to Sept. 29. And we added home VB Fri. Oct. 1 to our schedule. Any questions just call me.
