After sitting through weeks of weather more suitable for the late fall season rather than the spring, I'm so glad to see our area high school playoffs are quickly approaching.
For me, the return of summer around here coincides with league, sectional, regional and state playoffs despite what the calendar or the temperatures outside might suggest.
For those teams or individuals getting set to continue chasing their state championship dreams, I wish you all good luck. And for the rest of us, don't fret. Those sunny, hot, humid days where swimming and ice cream invade our thoughts (or mine at least) are not too far away.
