Will South Strabane Strike out again with Trinity

Rumors are flying like foul balls as to whether or not Trinity will strike a deal with South Strabane to use their new $300,000 ball field for the next 25 years.
According to sources nothing that was in South Strabanes proposal was what the Trinity representatives, Gerry Chambers, Sam Puglisi, and Denise McCreath, talked about with the South Strabane Supervisors Bob Hollick and Tony Zelenka.
Was it the Three Stooges or Abbott and Costello that misunderstood what was said? Regardless Trinity has completely rewritten the agreement.
According to Hollick at the South Strabane meeting that he and Zelenka made the proposal at there was nothing that was going to change. He was unwilling to listen to requests of other supervisors and said this was it. Well “this” was struck out and sent to the showers.
Upon reviewing a tape of the South Strabane meeting Trinity School Board became distraught at the attitudes and statements made by the supervisors and decided to redo the contract. Zelenka and Hollick are rumored to have a copy in their possessions but have not disclosed it to all other members of the board.
How can they vote on something that has completely changed?
And at the last school board meeting it was brought to the attention of the board that the current girls softball coach was not in favor of using the South Strabane field because it was out of the way for them and for traveling teams.
So now what is South Strabane going to do with their $300,000 field of dreams?
Hey Tony, what happened to “if we build it they will come?”
