Thank you Ryan Swan!

Good luck to our Swan 12U Falcons as they head to Alliance tonight for Game 2 of the tournament semifinals!

These boys have worked hard all season, continued to grow with every game, and have represented our community with pride. Tonight they take the field looking to keep their tournament run alive, and we couldn’t be more proud of them.

First pitch is at 6:00 PM.

Let’s show our support and cheer them on as they battle for a spot in the championship game!

Thank you Coach Swan for your generosity- surprising your boys with these amazing warmups
In memory of CPL Zachary Grass ❤️🇺🇸

Go Falcons! 💙⚾🦅

Yesterday, friends stopped by to honor CPL Zach Grass at his gravesite. A little girl replaced an old Beanie Bear that she left a couple years ago with a new one. Friends of Zach brought their kids to see his grave and a baseball team continues to honor Zach every year during their season. These are simple gestures that speak volumes about the impact he made on so many lives.

Time may pass, but true friendship, respect, and love never fade. 🇺🇸❤️

Nineteen years ago today, we lost a hometown hero—a soldier who answered the call to serve and made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Though nearly two decades have passed, his courage, selflessness, and dedication are never forgotten.

Today, we honor his memory, reflect on the freedoms he helped protect, and remember the family, friends, and community who continue to carry his legacy forward. His sacrifice will forever be a part of our town’s story, and his name will always be spoken with pride and gratitude.

Gone, but never forgotten. Forever our hero. 🇺🇸

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember one of our own —CPL Zach Grass— a hometown hero whose courage, sacrifice, and love for this country will never be forgotten. He left behind familiar streets, family, friends, and the community that shaped him, answering a call greater than himself. While time may pass, his memory continues to live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him and in the freedom his sacrifice helped protect. Today, we honor not only the life he gave, but the legacy he left behind — one of bravery, selflessness, and unwavering patriotism. Our hometown will forever carry his name with pride, gratitude, and love.

“Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.” 🇺🇸

Happy Heavenly Birthday Zach!

This past weekend at the Zach Grass Shootout, Dusty Miller, a close friend of the family and coach, paid a heartfelt tribute to Zach's lasting impact, reserving a seat on his bench for Zach's high school jersey, a reminder of the profound influence Zach had on those around him. It was a site that brought instant tears to our eyes and feeling that Zach was in that gym. 🥹❤️

Zach and Dusty were three years apart in school, yet Zach looked up to Dusty so much, and this gesture serves as a powerful testimony to the enduring legacy Zach left behind.

Thank you, Dusty, for this exceptional honor that celebrates Zach's life and spirit.
