Spring winds can put a damper on the fishing, especially when you have lake wind advisories. Lately, it seems that we are having a windy April. Lake wind advisories are typically issued with forecast of winds over 20 mph. If you do get on the water and the winds are strong, you may have to alter your game plan by looking for areas that are partially blocked from the wind so that you can safely fish.

Springtown High School’s young and inexperienced girls soccer team earned a trip to the postseason and came close to knocking off top-seeded Gainesville in the opening round of the playoffs. The Lady Pines ended up losing the bi-district title game 1-0 on March 25, but showed fans plenty of promise for the future. The girls had fought their way into the playoffs by beating Lake Worth in a tiebreaker on March 22. Head coach Katherine Kummerfeld referred to this year’s Lady Pines as “my most coachable team” and said the core of the group would return next year and provide a spark of enthusiasm that will boost the girls soccer program for years to come.
