Well, it appears that there might be. Village...
Okay, so there may not be any High School sports going on right now, but that doesn't mean we can't argue about our favorite sideline obsession. So, who do you think was the best athlete at Lena-Winslow? Isaiah Bruce comes to mind, but what if you opened it up to all athletes from the last ten years? Then you have Rahveon Valentine tossed into the discussion, along with Quinn Haas. But let's go to the extreme – who do you think was the best male athlete to ever be a Lena-Winslow Panther? And l...

The implications of this are frightening to people because it’s taken life out of their contro...
Now, before anybody gets mad and starts sending us nasty emails about how we are being too flippant regarding the Quarantine and that our April Fool’s issue was in poor taste … I see part of my job as not only keeping you up to date on what’s taking place while you’re stuck in the house, but also feel we should do what we can to make your time stuck indoors a little more fun. We always do a comedic issue when our publication date falls on April first – that’s why we turn our header upside down...
