On Tuesday, March 19, the Hayesville Yellow Jackets welcomed the Maroon Devils from Swain County to a very smoky field. The cloud in the sky was matched by the smoke from the mound for the Yellow Jackets as pitcher Jackson Sellers led the Jackets to a 3-0 victory.

"He needs to turn 16 more often," head coach and Jackson's dad Joe Jack said jokingly after the game. "That was a big win for us. Great to see our guys hunker down and hang on there."
