When we identify potatoes with any one country, we often think of Ireland and the survival stories we hear about the folks there in the 1700s and 1800s. If it’s a fine Irish meal you’re after this year to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, dishes like corned beef brisket and potatoes come to mind.

Tough losses for the Longhorns and Lady Horns going into spring break. The Lady Horns went 0-2 for their New Deal series. After a good start at New Deal, the Lady Horns couldn’t keep up with the 5th and 6th inning rallies by the Lady Lions.
