Sprains and fractures occur readily,

OVERTON - In the final non-
district game of the year 2019,
the Overton Mustangs dropped
a hard-fought contest to the
visiting Maud Cardinals 51-43.
Maud jumped out to a 24-10
lead hitting five straight three-
pointers.
Overton, lead by senior
Logan Reddic’s 20 points was
able to outscore Maud 28-18 in
the second half to make it close.
Maud JV was able to squeeze

A flashlight is an invaluable part of any disaster preparedness
kit, and it’s a handy tool to have on hand in a car, at home or
when traveling.
You never know when you might need a flashlight, and it’s
helpful to have many on hand.
When stocking up on flashlights for emergency kits, choose
ones with light-emitting diode, or LED, technology.
According to Popular Mechanics, LED flashlights are 70 per-
cent more efficient than incandescent models.
That means the batteries powering the light have the potential
to last 10 times longer.
Furthermore, LEDs do not have any fragile parts like incan-
descent bulbs. That makes them more likely to withstand shock
or even endure being dropped.
