Attention HAL baseball players that are in 5th and 6th grade!

Whitesburg Middle School's 6th grade baseball team will hold tryouts on Sunday Oct 19th and Sunday Oct 26th from 2:00-4:00 on Fern Bell South, next to the school.  All 6th graders who are attending Whitesburg are eligible to tryout.  Also, 5th graders from Weatherly, Whitesburg and Chaffee that will attend Whitesburg Middle are eligible to tryout also.  Whitesburg will field at least two baseball teams next baseball season, so many players are needed.  Please be sure to come try out.  For more information email Tim Wirick at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or call him at 653-1838.

The football schedules for the American Eagles are now online HERE. Go to Sports->Football on the main menu to look at schedules and game results.

ATTENTION PARENTS AND COACHES!

The city has asked us to no longer allow people to park or drive through the gravel area at Fern Bell Park (up by Whitesburg). With games now started it is a real safety issue with all the children running around. We have a parking area at each end of the park, so it should not be a problem simply to walk.

The city plans to put some type of blocking device at each end, but until then, if you see some drive or park in this area, please help out by asking them to move their car.

Thanks!
