What many have called one of the worst winters in 20 years has led to the spring sports, baseball, softball and tennis, getting a late start on its seasons.

All three sports have had a difficult time getting time on its respective fields since official practice began on February 15.

While all three teams got field time Monday, rainy weather is expected all through this week, limiting time for all three teams outdoors.
