Wednesday, March 13, 2024
Good afternoon. In the newsletter today: This week’s Warrior Watch column features a follow-up story on the scoring error that occurred in Saturday’s PHS girls basketball game against Cascade, a local football player headed to the Shrine Game this summer and the dance team going to state. Plus, we have coverage out of this week’s City Council meeting with a focus on a library expansion project. And, the PHS softball team opened its season at Lebanon.
Thanks for reading!
