Atmosphere Y-S Basketball

I was able to attend the Yellville vs. Valley Springs basketball game on Tuesday, January 28, 2025. (I was only able to be there for the boys’ game). While the Panthers lost a close game, I was very proud and impressed by the entire environment. The players were fundamentally sound, in shape, played hard and were very well coached. They had a great attitude, displayed good sportsmanship, and didn’t argue with the referees.

God’s Preacher

Many moons ago, I welded heavy steel for a living, helping construct the main beam for the M1000 tank trailer that was being built for the U.S. Military. As anyone can attest that has welded for a living, a man gets used to being burnt by welding splatter to the point that it becomes meaningless; it just becomes... well, a normal part of life.
