The spring sports season is already under way for Windham High School and there’s good news for Windham Middle School and Raymond’s Jordan-Small Middle School as well. Both of those schools will be able to get back out there and play this spring season.
However, athletic director Rich Drummond says that he’s hoping the season will contain competitive games in some fashion, probably not until closer to the end of the season. Transportation is an issue and has made getting competitive games a big challenge.
Drummond said that maybe Windham Middle School could get some scrimmages between them and Jordan-Small Middle School. He also said another option for competitive games is for Windham Middle School and Jordan-Small Middle School to host several home games with neighboring communities.
“We hope we can get to the competitive piece, not that it’s all about games, but a healthy competitive environment is always nice if you can provide that for the kids,” said Drummond.
Another good thing about the middle school spring sports season is the return of fans; masked and socially distant fans will be allowed to attend competitive games.
“Our approach to the season will be to knock the rust off as soon as possible,” said Jordan-Small Middle School baseball coach Jim Beers. “Our immediate goals are to be prepared for game one, whenever that might be. Season goals are to have fun and compete in our games, while getting better at baseball along the way. There are over 12 million possible plays in a baseball game and being prepared for each one – before they happen – is key to baseball success as an individual, and a team. It'll be great to have the boys back on the diamond again.”
Drummond will be meeting with the middle school coaches soon to review protocol and expectations. More information will be available later on this month. <
