Most of the Cook County High School baseball team is participating in American Legion baseball this summer. The team also has several players from Silver Bay and takes on other teams throughout the region. Although they have had trouble garnering wins so far, last year they made it to the state tournament. Hopefully the kids can get hot at tournament time and make another run to state this season. File photo/Laurie Johnson
