  • Last year, the 7th Grade basketball team from Greenville faced three undefeated teams and finished with a perfect season. This year, the team started their season with a 4-team tournament in South Iron. After beating Bunker 56-8 on Tuesday, the team faced South Iron on Friday night. The struggle was apparent with scoring minimal, but the Bears took a 2-point lead with less than a 30-seconds to go. The Panther's final shot was in the air less than a second because Bears center Destin Deering swatted the ball away from the goal and the game was over.

Crew members rushed to the boat to get it upright, and to unstrap the driver and navigator. The driver appeared to possibly be hurt. An ambulance backed

  • photo by Becky Shock Kathy Frey Lightner might look like a mild-mannered bank auditor for Southern Bank by day, but last weekend she turned into a navigator for jet sprint boat racer Kyle Patrick. “I heard there were some racers who were unable to bring their normal navigators with them for this race, and they were looking for local people to act as navigators. She explained, “The job description was basically someone who weighed 120-125 pounds and wasn't afraid!” She and five other people decided to answer that call to what some people might consider madness.
