Sports Complex reopens with softball tourney

The Lincoln Parish Sports Complex reopened over the weekend for the first time in two months as 27 girls’ fast pitch softball teams competed in a USSSA Boot Up Super Regional NIT Tournament. It was the first play at the sports complex since it was closed in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
