Every once in a while an event will come up on the schedule that will grab your full attention. That is what we have starting Thursday in Dibble as the Dibble Baseball Festival gets underway.

The festival will have nine teams play over the two days with all but one playing three games. Not only that, but five of the top nine ranked teams in the OSSAA coaches poll will be playing.

It is safe to say that we should learn a lot about where these teams stand going into the postseason that starts next week.
