Twenty-Four Teams Start Aggie Classic Action Today
March 17, 2014
The 21st Annual Aggies Classic Baseball Tournament will be played this week, with the championship games slated for the University of West Florida. Four locations will host the pool play: Tate High, Escambia High, Washington High and West Florida High schools.
The Tate Aggies, the host team, will be joined by 23 other teams from as far away as Oklahoma, Texas and Tennessee and five local teams.
“I feel that our tournament is one of the best in the country. It takes a lot of people to put an event of this magnitude on and I am truly thankful for everyone’s assistance,” said Greg Blackmon, Tate Aggies head coach. “The venues for the games have been improved thanks to the University of West Florida. Teams are coming from great distances, as well as our local teams, and I’m looking forward to a great week of competition.”
Tickets for each game are $6 for adults and students and will be available at the gate at each location. Games will be played at all the five local fields Monday through Wednesday. The championship games on Thursday at 4 and 7 p.m. will be played at the University of West Florida.
Here is Monday’s schedule (note that Tate’s game has been moved to 8 p.m.):
Ramp Closure Tonight, Early Monday From Highway 29 To I-10
March 16, 2014
The on-ramp from southbound Highway 29 to westbound I-10 in Escambia County will be closed from 10 p.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday as crews continue installing a barrier wall.
Motorists will be directed to use the northbound U.S. 29 on ramp during the temporary closure. Drivers are reminded to use extreme caution when traveling through the work zone by the Florida Department of Transportation.
The work is part of the I-10 resurfacing project which extends from U.S. 29 to east of Palafox Street. The project also includes the milling and resurfacing of all ramps and ramp shoulders associated with the U.S. 29/I-10 interchange, shoulder widening, guardrail upgrades, crash cushion replacement, removal of portable traffic monitoring sites (PTMS), installation of new signs, pavement markings and sodding. The entire project is slated for completion during the summer 2014.
During construction drivers will encounter overnight lane restrictions on both I-10 and the U.S. 29/ I-10 interchange. Lane closures on I-10 and intermittent closures or restrictions on the interchange will be limited to 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
