  • Barry hopes to clear last hurdle

    It has been quite the athletic year for Michael Barry. 

    Barry, a senior at Shelby County High School, was statistically one of the top wide receivers in Class AAAAA for the Rockets’ resurgent football team last fall.

    He was the leading scorer on a boys' basketball team that won as many games this past winter as it did the previous two combined.

    Next week’s 30th District baseball tournament is wide open, according to Shelby County Coach Bart “Rudy” Roettger, despite the fact that the 4-team field includes two ranked teams.

  • WICHE: Cut flowers from garden should be enjoyed indoors

    The cool spring has finally ushered in May flowers! I love cut flowers from the garden. There is a simple, happy satisfaction that comes from picking a bundle of peonies for the kitchen work table. Just be sure to shake the ants off first.
