“I like to be both a defensive player and a hitter, and this game I showed up to be both and I liked it,” said Hopkins. “Today the wind was in my favor on the home run and I caught it on the barrel of the bat and the wind pushed it out for me.

“We have to impress some people,”

What goes around

We can certainly engage in gallows humor over Trump’s indictment, but the reality is that this political move will just light a re under some to go after Biden for his family’s foreign in uence money — which we all know would be like furiously pedaling a stationary, nodestination bike in a spin class. Hey. While we’re about it, let’s just indict every government o cial who has been doing insider trading.

And because I’m already on the path to mix more metaphors, all I can picture is Nero playing the violin while Rome burns. In our country’s case, though, it’s not just dollars going up in smoke. We ourselves may be willingly stepping into the incinerator.

Re: “Country (sic) receives more than $60K in funding for mental health”

I am hesitant to become a paid subscriber to the Lone Tree Voice (LTV) until I see a more balanced viewpoint in the selection of articles provided and the editorial opinion. Additionally, there is very little substance of real importance provided by the regular contributors, i.e. their u and feel-good articles. I am more hesitant after seeing regular grammar and spelling errors in the LTV, the latest being the subject headline, the front page headline at that, which clearly had no or poor editorial review since the text should have obviously read “County.” Journalism today isn’t what it was in the glory days. I’ll subscribe when the LTV becomes a truly quality newspaper.

Lone Tree continued Hopkins. “People are going to sleep on us and we’re going to catch them o guard. We have a lot of pitchers that can do good things and if they keep performing at the rate they are doing right now, we’re going to have a good season. It’s going to be fun to watch.”

Jackson Phillips and Connor Boyd also gured in on the Legend o ensive heroics against Ralston Valley. Phillips was 2-for-2 with two RBI and Boyd went 2-for-3 with a pair of runs batted in.
