By the time Spring Break ends and the Forrest City student/athletes return to school on Monday, it will be almost like starting all over for the spring sports teams.
On the first day back (Monday), the Lady Mustangs are scheduled to play Wynne's Lady Yellowjackets at Wynne.
The Forrest City girls last played on March 21 -- a 11-day layoff.
The Lady Mustangs, in their first full season of fast-pitch softball, are 2-5 overall for the year and 0-5 in the AAAAA-East Conference.
Coach Amber Main is playing the season with six juniors, one sophomore and nine freshmen and zero seniors on the Lady Mustang roster.
If the weather holds, the Lady Mustangs will be able to get in three games next week.
Also Monday, the Forrest City Mustang golf team will try to get back on the course with scheduled matches at Wynne.
The Forrest City Mustang baseball team will have been idled for 11 days as well by the time the team returns to the diamond on Tuesday (April 2) to play Blytheville on the road, in what may be a doubleheader conference game, since the two teams were rained out of their scheduled March 19 game at Forrest City.
The Mustangs are 2-6 overall for the year and 0-2 in the AAAAA-East, with losses to Jonesboro and West Memphis.
Coach Reggie Murphy is operating with just four seniors on the roster this year, but has eight juniors, nine sophomores and five freshmen to build on.
The Forrest City Mustang and Lady Mustang track teams are scheduled to run on Thursday -- the boys at West Helena and the girls at Blytheville.
The junior high track teams have yet to see any action, due to the rain.
Both the White and Blue boys and girls' teams are scheduled to run at West Memphis on Tuesday (April 2).
Palestine-Wheatley's baseball and softball teams played only once this week, even though school is in session.
The schedules will accelerate next week.
