Message From Rossville Rattlers

    Host families needed! The season wouldn't be possible without all of our fantastic host families. Having an opportunity to have a athlete be part of your family while helping them grow on and off the field is priceless. If you are interested in information about hosting a player please contact rossvillerattlers@gmail.com. Here is a note from one of our host parents Lisa Thornburgh:

Hey Rossville friends! As most of you know baseball season never really ends at the Thornburg house. This year the 2015 Mid-Plains Champions and Cowdin Cup winners, the Rossville Rattlers have another year of a roster full of great young men. Plus several returning from last year's Champion team! As the roster filled there also became a need for housing for 10 of these dedicated college ball players. For approximately 6-7 weeks ( the last week of May at the earliest to the 3rd week of July for the completion of the Mid- Plains League Tournament ) they will be guests of our Town. They are kept very busy with games but they all need a place with a summer family to call home. Please consider hosting a player. Any questions don't hesitate to ask... It is worth it! They have been an awesome addition to our summer family! Love my boys of summer!
