A balanced effort by the Wabasso Rabbits boys basketball team helped them roll to a 79-58 win over Sleepy Eye in a recent Tomahawk Conference match-up. The Rabbits (2-2) got a big outing from Karson Bock who knocked down six three’s (five in the first half) on the way to a game-high 26 points.
In a game that went right down to the wire it was the host Luverne Cardinals who held off Redwood Valley 77-75 in an early season Big South Conference Small Division match-up. It was the first loss of the season for Redwood Valley (4-1) who again played well but had five more turnovers (19-14) and 21 less free throw attempts (23-2) than Luverne.
The Redwood Valley boys hockey team fell to 0-4 on the season with a 5-2 loss to hos Willmar Saturday in a non-conference match-up. Willmar took control with a three goal first period and would hold on from there for the win.
To the editor: Did Noah’s Flood really happen?

Every year around this time, some well-meaning aunt sends my children an advent calendar. Not one of the cool, new, weird advent calendars. Not the advent calendars with booze or beauty products or fishing tackles or coffee or rocks or the one for your pet. (Fun Fact: If there currently isn’t enough friction in your marriage, you can even get your spouse a workout advent calendar.) Nooo. This well-meaning aunt gets my kids an advent calendar with chocolate. So, come December, every morning, like clockwork, my kids start their day right out of the gate with, sigh, chocolate.
