With spring in the air it is that time of the year, baseball season.  BHS opens tryouts with 2 returning seniors and a strong crop of underclassmen.  The CAPS are poised to make another run at the State Playoffs and continue the winning tradition.

Coach Jones lives with his wife Melody of 18 years, son Jacob 17, daughter Kirby 14 and Hattie Bell, perhaps the smartest golden retriever ever born.
