FLATONIA – The Columbus High School baseball team matched up against Randolph High School in a playoff game at Bulldogs Field May 6 and defeated Randolph by mercy rule with a final score of 18-3. The Cardinals hitting was a force to be reckoned with and Randolph had trouble putting the bat on the ball due to Columbus’ elite pitching. "We talked about that we were up one to nothing in the series and we wanted to come out early and kind of set the tone for game two,” said Columbus head baseball coach Heath Allen. 05/10/2023 23:00

Just yesterday

I watched my grandsons level up in their scouting ranks this past Sunday. It seems just yesterday that I was holding them in my arms, pretending to drop them, and they were laughing up a storm because they knew Grandpa wouldn’t drop them. Just yesterday, I spent time with my grandparents–one in town and the other in the country. I loved them all. Just yesterday, I was watching Mom and Aunt Patsy performing in a play at Mentz Hall. I think it was Chattanooga Choo Choo. Now, it seems just yesterday, they both are no longer within arms reach. 05/10/2023 23:00
