BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL DEFEATS AFTON ON SENIOR NIGHT >
"The Boys Varsity team put a notch in the win column last night with a 74 to 54 victory over Afton. For the first time in a long time we had four players with double-digit points. Leading the way was Braeden Davis with 28, followed by Caleb Loomis with 19, Lukas Schieferstein with 14, and Cole Warren with 10. Leading the way on the boards was Braeden Davis with 8 and Cole Warren with 6. Nice Job, fellas it was fun to watch! Let's keep this rolling." -- Coach Preston

REMINDER TO STUDENTS:
The Otselic Valley Board of Education policy about attending after-school events states that once you have entered the event, you are not allowed to leave and come back.

When you have a substitute who is fully into the holiday spirit--hello "Frosty"!--AND who reads a snowman book to Kindergarten, well of course Little Vikings will want to make more snowmen! (Thank you, Mrs. D and Mrs. B!)
