The Race is On

This week I chose "The Race is On" by Sawyer Brown. Aside from being one of my favorite songs growing up, spring sports are also in full stride. Track, baseball, softball and most importantly golf are in the full swing of things for this spring season. The weather has finally been cooperating. And the race of covering all these things is definitely "on."

This past week I was able to attend a Bottineau High baseball game, as well as Dakota College at Bottineau baseball and softball games.

The upcoming week I will be (weather permitting) attending a Bottineau High baseball game and taking the girls golf team to Garrison in both a coaching capacity and a coverage capacity.

Here are my pictures for the week:
