IT WON’T BE LONG before we hear the umpire yell “PLAY BALL” at Hugo’s Shull-Bywaters Park. Working hard to get the field into top shape for the upcoming season over the past weekend were Charlie Bob Wibben, Tim Lemmons, B.J. Lemmons and Coach Scott Schier. The group put in a number of hours improving the dirt and leveling the infield in preparation for some late-winter grass. Stopping to make a financial contribution to the effort was former Hugo Buffalo Mike Ford.
