High School Sports
They got knocked down but they got up again to have a great season.

The "Royal Award" is given by coach Heather Davis to squad members who will go above and beyond, do whatever is needed for the benefit of all. Davis elected to give the award to everyone as she thought all o them did what whatever was asked.
Like the song by Chumbawamba, this year's competition squad got knocked down by a controversial finish at region, then struggled at sectionals. But like the song, they got up again to finish third at state. Monday night, the squad, families, and coach Heather Davis met at Sugarberry's to celebrate the great season one final time with the annual end of year awards banquet.

Giving the gift of life.



If one were to ask what the American Red Cross wanted for Christmas, volunteers would say blood donations to help with their life-saving efforts. Monday afternoon, local residents gave that gift at a drive held at the county extension office. Another drive will take place in mid February.
