RECREATION & PARKS DEPARTMENT
+ Volleyball camp rescheduled
The Plant City High School Summer Volleyball Camp was recently moved to a later date.
According to the Recreation & Parks Department, the camp is now slated to be held from July 28-31 at the PCHS gymnasium.
Other than that, though, much is the same. Registration is still $130 per camp, which includes a t-shirt. Anyone aged 10-15 can sign up at the Rec & Parks Administration offices at 1904 S. Park Road, from Monday to Friday. Campers are asked to wear knee pads, sneakers, a t-shirt and shorts, to bring a water bottle, and to leave any jewelry at home.
For more information about the program, contact Lady Raiders head coach Jessica Thornton at jessica.thornton@sdhc.k12.fl.us.

LITTLE LEAGUE
+ Softball tourney results decided
After the first week of tournament play, many of the district results have been decided. As of press time, the boys and girls of the Winter Strawberry Capital are District 4 champions in 9-10 Baseball (A team) and 10-11 Softball. The 10-11 Baseball and 9-10 Softball teams finished as runners-up to Lake Wales Little League. The Senior Softball team, along with Lake Wales and Polk City Little League, will advance to the Section 4 tournament without district play.
That leaves the 11-12 Baseball team – which, as of press time, had two games left in its bracket.
