Natchez High school baseball team enjoy plates of food prepared by the Natchez Police Department Tuesday at Natchez High School. Natchez High School Baseball Coach Dan Smith said he was talking to the kids before about how the community had responded to their playoff win. "It gives the kids motivation, to let them know that more than just the coach is watching them," Smith said, " And let them know other people are supporting them and are behind them and want them to succeed."
