The Lady Ironmen soccer team won one and lost one this week, as the Ironmen tennis team won both matches. Mother Nature once again rearranged this week’s schedules, as rain caused several events to change dates. It’s that time of the year when Winter and Spring seem to battle for control, which usually results in some rainy and sometimes stormy days. Spring sports are held outdoors, so any listed dates and start times are subject to change due to wet conditions.
