COLONY — With his players antsy to get out on the baseball diamond, Crest High head coach Roland Weir scheduled a series of scrimmages last week in preparation of their season-opener.

“It really paid off,” Weir said Monday after the real opener, a doubleheader sweep of visiting St. Paul.

The Lancers cruised to wins of 16-0 and 16-1 to open the 2021 season.

“We’ve been waiting for this for two years,” Weir said. “Everybody’s hungry. This group did well in football, and did pretty well in basketball. Plus, we’ve got a bunch of baseball players.
