It's here already...maybe.
The spring high school sports season is set to begin in somewhat typical fashion as a cold rain is forecast for today.
With fields already in somewhat questionable condition, we probably won't see that many games played today.
There are teams in the Northeastern part of the state who have only seen practice on their fields a couple of times thus far this season and there's one, Tourtellotte, who hasn't seen any at all.
That's because the Tigers no longer have a field.
A school building project has taken over what was the baseball, football and reserve soccer field behind the Fisher Elementary school which is all part of the same school complex with the middle and high schools in Thompson.
The baseball field will now be located up where the current track and soccer field is, the land is being cleared but the field won't be ready this season. The Tigers have had to scramble for places to play home games and will do so at the Thompson Senior League, Owen Bell Park in Dayville and at Ellis Tech.
