UPPER KEYS WEEKLY / MARCH 10, 2022
BATTER UP Youth baseball season kicks off
The Keys Weekly is proud to introduce local students to the Kids Weekly feature. Instead of asking about their favorite teacher or school subject, we want to know what superpower they’d most like to have, their favorite YouTube channel and the hardest part about being a kid today. We thank our future leaders and Plantation Key School for allowing us to share in a weekly dose of “Panthers” pride and for giving us a glimpse into their world.

he 2022 Upper Keys Little League kicked off last weekend with games at Key Largo Park on March 4-5. An opening ceremony by Ryan Raschein, Upper Keys Little League board chair, was held before the first pitch. On March 5, the Yankees faced the Brewers in a majors (kid pitch) game at the south field. The Brewers got on the board early, but the Yankees made a comeback. The Brewers won the game 10-8. The Upper Keys Little League includes softball, teeball, minors, majors and 50/70.

The hardest part about being a kid is … That, for me, my schedule is filled up and really busy and sometimes it is hard to manage my time and be able to fit in practicing my piano and doing my chores. The hardest part about being an adult must be … the responsibility. Everything you have to do and pay bills and manage. When I grow up, I want to … be a general surgeon because I want to help and save people.
