VOLUME 4, NUMBER 66
Good Afternoon. It’s Thursday, March 23, 2023

Philomath High opened track and field season Wednesday with a meet at Dallas but there were some problems with the official results, so look for that story to be published later in the day. Last night, I took in the all-district choir concert, which I believe was the first since before the pandemic, and posted a photo gallery. And just found out that baseball and softball games scheduled for this afternoon have been canceled.

Thanks for reading!
