  • A WORD FROM OUR READERS . . .

    Those of us in Grant County have a special service in our community that some may not know about.

    Recently, I had to have surgery for cancer that required radiation twice a day for five days consecutive days and occurring six hours apart, at 6 a.m. and 4 p.m., on Thomas More Parkway.

    Due to some circumstances, I was not able to drive myself and needed help. I called the coordinator of the American Cancer Society and talked to Darlene Houchens. She in turn called volunteers that take their own time and expenses to help those in need like myself.

    One plays offense.

    One plays defense.

    For both, senior Jackie Kinman and sophomore Mackenzie Tucker, a highlight of the 2010 soccer season was breaking school records.

    Kinman broke the all-time school record for goals scored, surpassing Emily Yager in career goals finishing with 33.

    Tucker, in just her second year on the team, has broken the record for shutouts, recording 10 shutouts in just two years as goalkeeper.

    The opportunity to break the records were a big part of the season for both Kinman and Tucker.
