In Dade City the Pasco Pirate Varsity Girls basketball team defeated the Bulldogs by a score of 63 – 19. The game was held at the Dr. Don McBath Activity Center. At Zephyrhills High School the Bulldog Boys Varsity team was defeated by the Pirates by a score of 54 – 33. Good sportsmanship was displayed in both games. It’s not if you win or lose but it’s how you play the game!

JD Porter from Wiregrass Ranch gave the Greater Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce an overview of what is happening in the Wesley Chapel area at the first business breakfast of the new year.  Many years ago what used to be, “The Road  To Nowhere” is now one of the fastest growing areas in the country. He complimented the assets in Zephyrhills such as the municipal airport. It is time for Zephyrhills to go to the next level and make this area more viable for companies that are interested in this area. In my opinion a push to complete the Hwy 56 project to Hwy 301 would be a good start.
