MACA girls sweep Minnewaska Area at home

The Tigers treated home fans to this win by sweep on Thursday.
Yours truly was pleased to post a review of the football win over Benson on my "Morris of Course" site. Lots of offense: we won 48-14. I put up this post Saturday afternoon so it was a timely effort on my part, eh? Here's the link:

And, here's a reminder that my review of the football win over ACGC is on "Morris of Course" also. I put this up on the morning after the game. This post also reviews the cross country meet at LPGE where Noah Stewart was No. 1, the tennis meet vs. LQPV/DB, the cross country meet at New London-Spicer, and the volleyball match vs. Melrose. Here's the link and thanks so much for reading. - B.W.

ICE detention facility for Appleton?
Heard the rumor Saturday that the abandoned Appleton prison could find new life as an ICE detention center. I truly hope this does not happen.
