CHS Baseball Schedule Spring 2016
CHS Softball Schedule Spring 2016

The softball season opener for the Clearwater Lady Tigers will be held at Piedmont Rotary Park on Friday, March 18 against Scott City.  Game time is 4:30 pm.  Clearwater hosted its first softball jamboree on Thursday with several area schools in attendance. Teams were able to participate in three “exhibition” games before the regular season.

The first game for the Tigers baseball team is scheduled for Saturday, March 19 in Dexter. The Tigers will pick up their bats against Cooter at 12:00 pm.  A 2:00 game against Dexter will follow.

These FCCLA students are wearing “Arrive Alive” t-shirts to promote Missouri’s new “It Only Takes One” campaign. In the past, area high schools have participated in a six-week program called Battle of the Belt to raise seatbelt use at their schools. However, seatbelt use is not the only traffic safety issue high school students face. “It Only Takes One” stresses the importance that teen drivers realize it only takes ONE text, ONE drink, ONE call, ONE reach, ONE distraction, to cause ONE fatal moment but that ONE clicked seat belt could be the difference between life and death in a car crash.
