St Joseph Club which used the proceeds for scholarships for local HS students. Is that still the case? Because of the long season, the Spring schedue will have to be re-worked I'm sure with a game date set for possibly April 12th. We will see. Wouldn't break my heart if the game becomes a thing of the past.
