WATERTOWN — A year after suffering a bitterly disappointing home loss to underdog Westmoreland in this game, Watertown appeared to be on the way to repeating its fate against Trousdale County in the Region 3-2A tournament opener Monday. But on a raining evening which was interrupted by a one-hour, 24-minute delay following the second inning, Reagan Way’s pinch-hit RBI single scored Zoey Thomas with the walk-off run as the Lady Purple Tigers knocked off their longtime rival 5-4.

You can count on your family and friends to bring up sentimental memories through pictures. Those photographic moments are forever archived. Pictures that, both embarrassing and flattering, tell a story that associates us with a place, a milestone or a relationship that was forged long ago. In a second of focus, we are jettisoned back. Whether by a Polaroid or a digital image, we wish that photograph could talk. The shared memory evokes emotion. The good ol’ days and the not so good ol’ days.
