Sandstorm blew through town

The West University Softball Association’s annual Opening Day Parade and Carnival brought creativity, excitement, and perfect weather to celebrate the start of the season. Among the 102 teams hitting the field this spring, the 7U WUSA Sandstorm, managed by Bill Zachary and sponsored by Professional Sports Partners, made their debut as one of 16 teams in their division. With bats ready and gloves in hand, Sandstorm players geared up for a fun and competitive season. Pictured (front row, from left) are Agatha Tam, Ellie Bransford, Lila Haggard, Penny Moyse, Lucy Zachary, Emmy Rosenzweig, Zoe McMillian, Chloe Arnone; (back row, from left) Graham Haggard, Chris Bransford, Bill Zachary, and (not pictured) Hannah Marks and Kennedy Woellner.
