Although Punxsutawney Phil — the groundhog who predicts whether there will be six more weeks of winter or not — determined winter is here to stay a bit longer, fans of high school baseball are in luck because the FHSAA calendar isn’t governed by a groundhog and the first sport of the spring season is slated to have its regular-season opening day Monday, Feb. 10.

Four West Orange and Southwest Orange schools will make their way onto the diamond on Feb. 10 to kick off the regular season. Legacy Charter will host Foundation Academy, Horizon High will host Edgewater High, and Windermere Prep will travel to Orangewood Christian Academy.
