With several local sporting events at United High School cancelled due to weather over the spring sports season, it was an especially busy past week for United athletics. As Red Storm spring sports teams look to squeeze in regular season contests, this week saw several back to back games for softball and baseball. The Red Storm softball team started the week with a home doubleheader against Annawan/Wethersfield on Monday, then hosted Knoxville for a contest on Tuesday. The ladies are not quite done with their busy week however, as they have a road rematch with the Blue Bullets penned for tonight, then a doubleheader against Ridgewood scheduled for Saturday.
