Recently, the Valley High School baseball team traveled to Myrtle Beach, S.C., to play in the Mingo Bay Classic Tournament. This trip would not have been possible without the generosity and support of area businesses around our community.

I would like to thank each person and business that made generous donations to fund our trip:

Michael McGuane, The McGuane Foundation; Lydle Martyn; Priscilla Rebekah Lodge 296; American Legion Ladies Auxiliary Unit No. 81; Sons of the American Legion Post No. 81; Ritchie and Dave Palmer, Palmer Funeral Home; and Christine Lemasters, Dominion.

I would also like to thank the parents of our players for all of their help and support, especially in the organization of our spaghetti dinner, which was a very successful fund raiser.

The Valley High School baseball team is very grateful to all who made this trip possible. The memories these kids will have from this trip will last a lifetime.

Thanks again,

Jim West
