Rocco De La Rosa had a monster game (coverage includes a gallery by Andy Cripe). This weekend’s Three Things column features Trunk or Treat, Kings Valley volunteer recognition and the election. Plus, the latest OSP Log, Trunk or Treat gallery and a City Council meeting preview. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
