At present the main talk arouzul the c0unty is how well the Seven Springs boys are playing. The Springs boys and coach, Ben Helter, are to be commended for the way they have been winning. They do not try to make a team feel like they're superior to them because they come up with a ,wln. It has often been said fhat it takes a better team to lose than it! does to win. This is true, but it takes a real team to be able to win and l the team which loses say that the other team is good, and wha't's more ' played a clean game.
