    A-C Stands For ‘Alternating Consistencies’

    BY JEFF FALK ANNVILLE – Up is down. In is out. Hot is cold. Welcome to high school baseball, where the only consistencies are the inconsistences, and where youth giveth and youth taketh away.

    – Northern Lebanon Interim Head Softball Coach John Mertz
