Every hunting season, there are reports of vandalism to Block Management Area (BMA) boxes, hunters driving off road, illegal trespassing, hunters being shot over, littering, and livestock being shot....
We have been working on positionless offense so that every girl has the option to dribble, shoot or pass. These girls are quick to pick up the new drills we are giving them. We are setting goals during practice and for games, whether it is getting a certain amount of defensive and offensive rebounds or less than 10 turnovers or 30 baskets. These girls are working hard to accomplish their goals as a team, and we also have encouraged them to set personal goals. Coach Olsen has stopped at the gym to assist with some drills and...

Come look!” There is a moment when the Sunlight shines on housetops in the neighborhood across the valley from us, and onto the hills to the West, like a ‘gol...

I have come to realize that the perfect bomb proof Grandma’s horse is going to cost me about a trailer load of calves, but I am struggling with writing a check that size for something that could die the next day. Several years ago, I realized that I no longer had any desire to hit the ground coming off a horse. After the cows were all w...
