    Jan 11, 2023

    On 28 December the Catholic Church commemorates what it calls the Holy Innocents, the boys two and under that King Herod ordered murdered in an attempt to destroy the Ruler forecast to him by the Magi. At the present time our country officially considers acceptable the killing of an unborn child adequately developed in every way necessary to survive outside his or her mother, as it does the killing of one that with near certainty will grow into that same, viable state. The Church declared Herod’s handful of unwitting victims “martyrs,” and I...

    Rick Griffith|Jan 11, 2023

    The Panthers were back at it on the road at Huntley Project on Monday evening. The Red Devils are pretty notorious for trying to jump on you early and then let you try to dig yourself out of the hole.

The Panthers slowly began to right the ship as four different Panthers scored in the quarter. Jordon, Dustin, Braedan , and Kylen all got on the board in the first quarter and the Panthers trailed 15-13. From that point...
