I suppose it’s time to announce this. My time at the Waverly Newspapers has come to an end starting Friday. I won’t be going too far though as I’ve accepted the position of sports editor in Vinton! Thank you all for the support these last 2 years

Let's hear it for Coach Newsom and Coach Willis! The college is honoring these two with the naming of the Newsom Outdoor Track and the Willis Championship Tunnel. Please join us in celebrating the impact they have had on @WartburgKnights and our student-athletes!

At the break Union leads Denver, 34-28. So far this one is playing out very similarly to the Dunk/GR game. Denver is making some runs at Union but the knights keep hitting big shots. Talan Lafrentz and Chase McEwan both with 11 for Denver. Cameron Mullen has 11 for Union.
