OKEECHOBEE — It took a little longer for the Sebring All-Stars' offense to show up against Avon Park in Sunday's third round of the Dixie 13-year-old boys District 8 tournament at Okeechobee Sports Complex. But it was better late then never, as Mark Greenauer's homer and Justin Long's two-run single gave Sebring a come-from-behind 5-3 win over Avon Park. "We're really struggling with the bats right now," said Sebring coach Cesar Martinez. "But we hung in there and got just enough offense to pull out the win. ...more

In reference to the letter dated Feb. 20 by Charles E. Wilson, all I can say is "How Typically Democratic!"

Most of the Democratic leaders agreed and if anyone believes President Bush influenced the thinking of Hillary, etc., they need to stop with the Kool Aid. ...more
