 T-Ballers down PD/FD, 4-1
On a recent weekend in October, a T-Ball team in The Colony did not have an opponent. When The Colony Police and Fire departments found out, they challenged the little dudes to a game. It was close at first, but the T-Ball team defeated the First Responders, 4-1. Great game, kids! Your friends in public safety look forward to the rematch.
