It was a weekend of playoff baseball at the Latrobe Little League field at Legion-Keener Park.

The Latrobe Little League wrapped its regular season on Tuesday and its playoffs are set to start Saturday.

Maddy Grimm enjoyed an unparalleled athletic career during her time at Ligonier Valley. The 2013 grad excelled in four sports – softball, basketball, soccer and football. Grimm served as the kicker on Friday nights in the fall for the Rams football team, while thriving on the soccer pitch throughout the rest of the week. In the winter, she was a star on the hardwood for Ligonier Valley. But her most impressive performances came in the spring as a prolific-hitting shortstop for the LV softball squad.

Last week, as you may remember, I spent one column talking about some of the lures one can use to catch bass. Believe me, when I state, that there are many different types and forms, colors and shapes that will do the trick. Today, I want to talk about jerkbaits, lures that stay afloat. It’s up to the angler to maneuver the tip of his rod so that this bait will give attention to the fish.

Latrobe Little League recently announced the schedule for its upcoming return to the Little League International All-Star Tournaments.
