Spring Break has arrived for Tallassee students, but before student-athletes depart for beach trips, there is still some ball to be played.

The THS baseball and softball teams had a big day on Monday facing archrival Reeltown at Southside.

The Tallassee varsity softball team beat the Rebels in a slugfest 20-10. Tallassee's junior varsity and varsity baseball teams split a doubleheader. The JV Tigers won 9-1. The varsity fell 4-2.

Madeline Weldon led the Tallassee girls belting two homeruns in a 2-for-3 day at the plate. She also picked up the win pitching six innings.
