After wet field conditions forced the Vernon Lions Baseball Camp to push the dates of the camp to late last week, the baseball camp and Vernon Lady Lions Softball Camp combined for one big camp. Youngsters learned and practiced the fundamentals common to both sports, and then broke into smaller groups and worked on sports specific skills. The camp wrapped up Saturday morning.
Last week was “camp week” for our Vernon High School cheerleaders and they totally ROCKED IT!!
The 2025-26 VHS cheerleader squad brought home numerous team awards, including two Blue Superior Ribbons and the Spirit Stick Award, and several individuals also earned special recognition.
