The LL League held championships in every winter sport, Swimming, Rifle, Wrestling, Bowling, and Basketball. The LL did it all!!!! Tip of the cap to all the AD's and school personnel that made it happen. And they said it could not be done!! Well done!!
Ephrata will no longer limit fan attendance at Tuesday and Thursday’s baseball games. Fans will no longer need to present a voucher to get into the game, they will simply need to pay the admission fee. The stadium will be cleared between the two semifinal games on Tuesday.
