Stepping on the diamond to finally play a game. The Millers will host Edmond North in a 5 p.m. contest at Miller Field Thursday. YHS has not played a game since March 13 of last season. The Mill- ers have been able to get in four of 11 pre-season games so far (YHS did host Blanchard on Tuesday in their final pre- season game). Yukon enters the season with five re- turning starters and an experienced squad overall. Edmond North did graduate sev- eral players from last year, but YHS head coach Kevin James expects the Huskies to be a challenge for his team. “Edmond North did graduate a bunch of guys last year and have a lot of new guys coming in,” James said. “The Carson Benge throws out a runner (Cody) Entwistle guy that was theirto first base during a scrimmage catcher was their go-to player last yearwith Norman North Monday.
