The 23-24 softball season marked another successful year for the three Archer County high schools. Windthorst continued their playoff appearance streak, Holliday went several rounds deep, and Archer City broke through to the regional semifinals. This season was one of the toughest teams to make, as all three rosters featured numerous athletes that were deserving of a placement, and each superlative could’ve gone to any athlete on the Diamond Dozen team. With so much talent shown this last season and lineups that were littered with gifted upper and underclassmen, next year’s Diamond Dozen will be just as difficult to create.

We all know that when the pilgrims landed at Plymouth, they were seeking religious freedoms, yet the same people who admit this fact will deny the same is true of those who settled Jamestown. They relate that Jamestown was only settle by money-hungry, greedy men, those who were only interested in the wealth to be found here. That was only partially true.
