I was wondering if you heard anything on the Mint-Union game. Thanks for passing it along.
I believe this will be a competitive state tournament.
Hard to picture it without Rowan, Wayne, Pitt or Cleveland County (Shelby).
I thought Union might run out of pitching early in the Cherryville series but they didn’t.
