The Junction City Blue Jay varsity baseball team will play in Great Bend on April 2nd at 4 p.m. The doubleheader had initially been scheduled for Rathert Field but the work to install artificial turf on the infield and foul territories, and grass sod on the outfield is still under way.

Also, Athletic Director Matt Westerhaus said that the Blue Jay junior varsity baseball team will play in Manhattan at 4 p.m. on April 5th. Again, that is due to the work that is in progress on Rathert Field.

Westerhaus noted that officials are currently looking / hoping to play the first varsity games at Rathert Field on April 12th, but that is a best case scenario date.
