There was a theft Friday night in
Malakoff, and there was nothing I
could do about it. The boys played
an excellent game, and in my hum-
ble opinion won the game in the
final 44 seconds. Unfortunately, the
referees were not seeing the same
thing as everyone else, and so the
Wildcats lost the game after failing
to score the extra point three times
in a row. The first two times they
scored the extra point, it was called
back on a flag, so the boys were
robbed. Better luck this week guys.
I would like to thank all of the
people who have given me such
positive feedback this past week
and over the past few months. I did
not receive any negative remarks
this week, written or verbal, but I
still would like to talk to anyone
who needs to make a comment

raining as it was Friday night,
because it would only make things
worse if you have an accident while
