Easter tourneys highlights this week

Spring sports season is at the midway point of action, and teams just concluded their annual Easter baseball tournaments before spring break.

Terry Sanford and South both hosted individual tournaments, Bulldogs Baseball Easter Tournament for Terry Sanford and Randy Ledford Memorial Easter Baseball Tournament for South View.

The Bulldogs reign as champions after defeating Triton 10-2 in their home Bulldog Easter Tournament. South View went 1-2 on their weekend, dropping games to Overhills and West Bladen.
