Kelsey Plum continues her red hot start to the season, dropping 38 on the Aces ! The victory takes the Sparks to 3-3 on the campaign.

Being in Little Rock today means missing out on a Special Olympics basketball practice. I’m hoping for a great time later today over at Hillsville Elementary School for the group.
Here’s hoping that ” If Necessary is indeed Necessary “! It’s time for Duke University at the University of Arkansas softball !
Game 2 is just minutes away from starting here in Fayetteville, and once again, rain 🌧 will enter into the process.
When you purchase a book of tickets 🎟 to a Super Regional tournament, the one for Game 3 falls under ” if necessary.” Being that Duke is down 1-0, it would be fun for there to be a need to play Game 3 tomorrow.

What does a Saturday morning 🌄 in Hog Country look like ? One has to start with the gigantic ” Mean Looking Hog “
The first pitch isn’t slated until 4 pm central time, so there’s room for exploring the greater Fayetteville area.
That graphic helps with the size of the area.
To help place it, you can take the Trail of Tears 😢 to nearby Oklahoma ( 20+ minutes ).
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils recorded a great deal of music back in the 70s, and two made it to the charts. Jackie Blue, and If you want to get to heaven.
