As we near the end of
another year it’s only fitting
that we looksback and pay
tribute to some of the best
moments in local sports.
Although there were too
many stories to list, we’ve
tried to capture some of the
most memorable moments
from the first half of 2019 in
words and photos.
We’d also like to take time
to thank the many
contributors that help make
our sports pages a true
product of the community
each week. Your continuing
support is greatly
appreciated.
The following is part one of
a two-part series.
