WOW!! The varsity has played seven games winning four and not one has finished with a win or loss by more than 2 runs. The JV has also been a lot of fun to watch and are currently 3-2 with an extra inning win. The pitching has been a very pleasant surprise and the hitting is starting to come around. These next couple of weeks we should see a lot of fun baseball.
As a club we also have some busy times coming up to support our teams. This Saturday is the Team Yard Sale and we need all of you to support the team. Please see the article in this newsletter about where, when, and what to do. The who is you. Debbie Cline is organizing this event and has spent a lot of time and effort to pull this together. Thanks Debbie. She and Diane Nix are selling shirts and that also seems to be going well.
We also have little league day coming up April 10th and a couple of special recognition days when we play Oak Ridge and Powell at home. Kim Grubb and Cendi Dillon are working on the Little League day and Debbie Cline is helping. Let them know if you will help. I hope you will take the time to come out and make these recognition days special for our team and our guests. Those dates are noted on the calendar of events.
The varsity has a tournament at Gibbs and Karns coming up and then will go to Lebanon the end of the month. The JV team will be in the JV tournament this month to be played at Oak Ridge. Come out and support our boys.
THANK YOU to all who helped with the Carrabbas dinner. The food was terrific and the fellowship was super. I hope you enjoyed it. Special THANKS to Tammy for organizing the event and taking on the pressure of making it happen. The preliminary estimate is that you sold more than 300 tickets and made more than $1400 for the team. I would also like to express my appreciation to those who have worked in the concessions stand thus far. The food has been great (especially the fries and cheese sticks) and we are making some good money.
Dont forget that we will have elections at the May meeting and we are looking for people to serve for the next year. We have gotten some awesome work out of this years Board of Directors and I also appreciate the many others who helped to get so much accomplished. Thank you Carol, Allen, Lynne and Tammy. I want to also say that I truly appreciate everything that Larry did as a member of the Board and at the field. It was a joy to work with him and to know him as a friend. We are discussing an appropriate memorial and your suggestions will be welcomed.
See you at the field!
grandchildren have participated in a variety of sports and have distinguished themselves as excellent athletes and students. Doc has always been a strong supporter of the Karns sports programs and has been in attendance at many of the games. 
The second person to be honored is no stranger to anyone in the Karns community nor to many people in the Halls community. Dwight Smith coached the baseball program at Karns High for 19 years. During his tenure his teams won more than 240 games. When people think if Karns High Baseball, Dwight's name always comes to the forefront. "CHIEF" is the man responsible for building the baseball field that was the home site for ballgames until the construction of the new middle school caused it to be replaced. It was a field of dreams because Dwight, with the help of the 
community, built the field from scratch on a plot of red clay dirt. It turned into one of the nicest fields that Knoxville could display and was the site of numerous tournaments and professional tryouts.
