Cape softball head coach Shannon Timmons, in her fifth year at the helm, is looking to hit the ground running in the 2021 season, as the Vikings are young and fast and will play aggressive offensively, she said.
“We are all just really thankful to be back on the field and back together again after missing last season,” Timmons said. “I think we all have a new appreciation for the opportunity we are given each day to step on the field together. We have a very young team, but they bring talent and energy every day to practice and believe in their goals for the season. Even though we haven t seen any other teams yet, our intrasquad scrimmages have been very beneficial, especially for our younger players in the program who are just learning our style of play and our style of coaching.

SPRINGFIELD Martin Luther King Jr. Family Services Inc. (MLKFS) announced the addition of three new members to its board of directors.
“Our mission and services have expanded to meet in part the incredible needs of the community during this time of hardship,” said Calvin Hill, MLKFS board chair and vice president of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement for Springfield College. “Therefore, adding additional and talented hands to our leadership will assist us in fulfilling the words of Dr. King as we attempt to do more for others.”
The MLKFS Emergency Food Pantry now helps more than 500 people, and after-school and night-spot programs support literacy and academic achievement essential for the life success that disrupts the cycle of poverty. MLKFS also runs a historically black college-tour program. Funding for such socially focused programming continues to become increasingly limited at a time when needs are especially pressing.
