Good morning, Philomath.
Out West Farm and Ranch has made some changes in its parking lot to give Philomath another option for food. Philomath High’s basketball teams pulled off wins last night at Junction City — the girls winning in a blowout and the boys in a close one. Coverage includes photo galleries from both games by Andy Cripe. And we have the latest in the Mount Union Stories series. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
