Baseball:

 

Mother Nature continues to plague baseball game action with rain forcing the cancellation of the Center Roughriders play in Henderson Saturday. Even though officials had tarped the field Friday, unforeseen rain throughout the day Saturday would not allow teams to play.

 

With a good chance of rain forecast again by Tuesday night, we could see another week of rush to catch-up with district games and possible cancellations.
