Three weeks ago, tourney host Franklinton and Nash Central reached the finals of the annual girls soccer event. But because one of the tourney days had been eliminated due to rain, a goal-differential format was utilized, as opposed to a head-to-head matchup between the young, on-the-rise squads.

SPRING HOPE — War has a way of making it difficult to speak with loved ones, as messages of ‘I love you’ and ‘I’m OK’ are measured in the five-minute increments in which soldiers get to call home.
