Bulbs are beginning to bloom, birds are starting to return… Spring is right around the corner, and that means, so is high school baseball.

The Harrison County baseball Thorobreds will once again be one of a handful of teams that will be called “favorites” to compete for yet another 10th Region baseball crown.

Harrison County returns all but three players from last year’s squad that advanced to the Elite Eight at Applebee’s Park in Lexington for the Forcht Bank/KHSAA State Baseball Tournament.

Miles away from the heart of Cynthiana, sometimes off the beaten trail and hidden away like a good secret, there’s a country store.

“It’s kinda like a good friend... like family,” said Jim Dyer as he walked into the Leesburg Grocery one Monday morning.

Dyer said he’d been making daily visits to the store for years.

Past the counter, shelves of food and drinks, and a pool table, Dyer sits down at a table next to Jack Irvin.

Irvin said he’s been coming to the Leesburg Grocery since 1960.
