PCHS, Crest play Halloween baseball game
What do Richard Simmons, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Brock Lesnar and a Minion have in common? They’ve all got some baseball skills.
Plant City and Strawberry Crest brought the area’s only Halloween-themed high school baseball game back from the dead on Monday afternoon. The two teams linked up and donned their best costumes for a 5 p.m. exhibition game where having fun out there mattered more than the score. Plant City and Durant had played the game in previous years but canceled it for 2017.

Crest volleyball makes regionals
Though regionals didn’t go as well for Strawberry Crest as the Chargers hoped, it was still a great season for the team.
Fresh off of winning the first district title in school history, the Chargers hosted Palm Harbor University on Oct. 24 and lost in three sets. Though the first two weren’t close — PHU won with scores of 25-12 and 25-13 — Crest fought bravely in the third set and forced a 29-27 final score in front of a loud home crowd.
