West Virginia HS Baseball Tourney ends in red for city
The third annual West Virginia High School Baseball tournament ran a deficit of about 278 dollars with a total gate around 2 348 dollars. City officials estimate a 350 dollar share for the city recreation commission plus lights, concessions profits, and staff costs. The event drew eight teams, provided meals but no mileage aid, and may impact future planning for park use and gate percentages. The Reds hold a late January tryout camp. Local players Max Butcher and Al Fedak are connected to minor league chances, with Cabell Junior High eyed for additional diamonds.
