Field Sharing Shapes North Bennington Baseball Season
North Bennington governs split use of the field with Bennington High School and Catholic High, after Mt. Anthony Union High School construction. BCHS and Bendi supply bases and lines, while N Bennington provides an hour of daily practice per team plus warmup time. Joseph Nadeau donated gravel for the road approach with town grading help, and Principal Catherine Corcoran aided schedule setup in late March. Coaches Don Ziter, Frank Bizzarro, and Bud Leamy arranged the sharing plan.
