Special pre-game ceremonies Monday

Washington fans will want to take note that the Blue Lions are going to honor the 2000 State championship team prior to the game.

The Blue Lions also will honor all six of the former players who were drafted into the Major Leagues.

They will have their numbers posted on the outfield fence.

Those six players are: Preston Bentley, Tim Redman, Jeff Shaw, Scott Lewis, Brad Stillings and Travis Shaw.

Five of those players will be on hand for the ceremony.
