There is a dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call... the Twilight Zone. Black-and-white television dramatics aside, the Plains-Hot Springs Trotter softball team lived through an episode of the Twilight Zone in...

Led by Tyler Carr, the Hot Springs boys scored 28 points, while the Elena McAllister-led Lady Savage Heat scored eight points in the District 14C meet in Missoula Friday and Saturday.
