    She's excited to coach volleyball. She hates the circumstances. Those two sentiments carry about equal weight in Tammy Arrington's mind right now.

Gore's teaching contract was one of those not renewed in this spring's round of budget cuts in the Levy County school district.

  • Chiefland All-Stars lose opener...

    Chiefland All-Stars ran into a buzz saw in the opening round of the 2009 State T-Ball Championship, falling 22-10 to Jacksonville San Jose. San Jose hit the ball exceptionally well, enjoying good power and placement all through the lineup. They ran the bases skilfully, exploiting indecision on Chiefland's part as to where to make the play.

    Chiefland head coach Wayne Weatherford noted, and San Jose head coach Jeff Dietz confirmed, that the East Coast visitors have played over their heads in a 7 and 8-year-old league for the last two years.
