VOLUME 5, NUMBER 52
Monday, March 11, 2024
Good afternoon. A lot is going on so you’re receiving an extra newsletter to begin the week. We lead off with Philomath High’s girls basketball trophy game on Saturday afternoon. On the court, each team scored 33 points but an apparent scoring error gave Cascade an extra two. As it turned out, the Cougars “won” by two points. Also, we have the Police Log, Fire Calls and a season preview story on the PHS softball team.
Thanks for reading!
