Last week, Malta’s Jo Tharp posted a message on a popular social networking site about the idea of starting a coed softball league in Phillips County for folks over the age of 18. Since then, the response has been strong in favor of such an adventure. “I kind of put it out there that Phillips County needs a coed softball league and I got a lot...
