But when the dust - and t...

In his first year at the helm, Sharp’s Northeast A League Cardinals finished 3-16. But the nine juniors who endured such a long season want none of that as seniors and playing summer baseball is part of the solution. “Man, we had a ton of kids tryou...

In a recent meeting of the Medical Lake City Council, the claim was made in the public forum portion that “The Fairways would probably close because of that lawsuit on water.” While that wa...
