The Orangeville Bronco Boys Basketball team has a new coach in Josh Fahs, who seems to have already imprinted his personality on the team – the fast-talking coach who always seems to be in fourth gear – has instilled a fast paced and aggressive style into the returning Broncos who bring back a lot of talent. But against the Dakota Indians – who were supposed to be rebuilding this season, although nobody can prove that – the helter-skelter Broncos were unable to maintain control in pivotal...
The Aquin Lady Bulldogs were not used to being 0-2 on the season. And even though both losses came at the hands of the defending State Champion Eastland Cougars was no consolation. But Tuesday night they got back on track with a solid 48-26 win over the rebuilding Pearl City Wolves. But it didn't look easy early on. In fact, thanks to a pair of running bank shots from Sidney Wright and Cheyenne Handsaker, and a buzzer beating bunny from Kendall Dixon, the Wolves were out in front 10-7 at the...
In the rivalry battle between Stockton and Warren Wednesday night, neither team was able to fully assert itself and take control of the game until the 2:38 mark of the third period – after Stockton had cut the Warrior lead to only three at 31-28. But it was at that point that Warren made a concerted effort to get the ball inside to their big man – Braydon Bohnsack. "I thought that when we worked the ball inside, they realized they had a mismatch," said head coach Josh Knuth. "We did a really nic...
There are some very strong Girls Basketball players in the region, and then there is Tiana Timpe of Stockton. With no disrespect intended to any other athlete, the Blackhawk senior who has already committed to play basketball at Division I Central Michigan next season is on a level all her own. With 5:24 to play in the first period of Stockton's conference battle at home against East Dubuque Thursday night, Timpe saw the pass go in to the post, flew over as weakside help, jumped up and cleanly...

In what can best be described as the best game of the season, the East Dubuque Warriors and Scales Mound Hornets battled it out into double overtime before the Warriors escaped with a slim 73-72 victory. Early on, it looked as if it would be no contest as East Dubuque deposited a bug bomb in the Scales Mound gym – exploding out to a commanding 19-6 lead in the second quarter. But then the Hornets began to climb back into the game – cutting the margin to only seven by halftime at 25-18. Col...

The reason you never see elephants hiding in trees is because they're so good at it. To the man in the wheelchair who stole my camouflage jacket ... you can hide, but you can't run. Atheism is a non-prophet organization. It may look like I'm having deep thoughts, but 99% of the time I'm just thinking about what I'm going to eat later. Darth Vader knew what Luke was getting him for Christmas because he felt his presents. A boomerang that won't come back is not a boomerang ... it's a stick. Why did the M&M go to school? (It wanted to be a...
A long time ago, I can still vividly remember being awoken in the middle of the night by the scream of terror from our youngest daughter Caitlin – who I think was three at the time. You see, in her “middle of the night fog” to make a trip to the bathroom, she never bothered to check to see if the seat was down. So the resulting squat landed her squarely into the toilet bowl, and brought the seat down over the top of her – locking her in place - which makes it very understandable why she screame...
I truly want to give President Biden the benefit of the doubt. Sadly, from where I sit, watching over 40 Executive Orders, the benefit of the doubt is slipping. Among the very first he signed closed down the Keystone XL Pipeline, eliminating 11,000 jobs, 8000 of them union jobs. And yes, that union had endorsed him. Welcome $4.00 gas real soon. He immediately stopped the erection of the southern border wall even though millions of dollars are already committed to guaranteed purchases and...
On the Internet you can choose to be anything you want. It's strange that so many people choose to be stupid. Over the last few months, I’ve grown to love the sound of horns honking. Since we started parking lot church last April and kept it going all these months later, we begin and end each service with the people in the parking lot honking their horns. It is a festive celebration. It’s also the way we communicate. I stand on the front stoop of the church and say: “Good morning Every...

For Sydney Petersen of Freeport, Saturday's Speech Sectional was almost a dream come true as she not only qualified for the State finals this weekend, but was the Sectional Champion in both of her events – Informative Speaking and Original Oratory. The same situation fell into the lap of Lena-Winslow sophomore Rowen Schulz who will have to put basketball on hold for one more weekend as he claimed the Sectional championship in Humorous Interp. But as thrilling as that was for the two local S...
