Serious business

Members of the Holyoke flag football team got down to business Tuesday evening, Sept. 27, for a home game with Sedgwick County. First and second graders hit the field first, followed by third and fourth graders. Pictured above at right, second grader Stetson McCabe looks down the field before he passes the ball while classmate Wes Kramer backs him up. At left, Penelope Murray, also a second grader, gets in position to receive a pass at Tuesday’s game. The flag football program, which is part of the city of Holyoke recreation department, has 36 kids participating this year, as reported by director Victoria Dunker at a recent city council meeting.
