When it comes to statistics, the sport of track and field is not unlike the sport of baseball - in both cases, it’s all about the numbers. The Hot Springs County High School track teams traveled to Powell last week to put up numbers in the various events, all the while, fighting their own reduced numbers. It probably comes as no surprise that, in a rural community like Thermopolis, we have the benefit of a very large, and highly successful, FFA organization. Many of our high school students participate in that fine institution, and thus, l...
