Settle in because we have another wonderfully descriptive account of last night’s basketball game from Mr Belill in the HS:
The Montrose Rams came trampling into town last night to take on the 7th and 8th grade Lady Marauders.
The 7th grade corralled the rams early and never allowed them to get out of the gate in route to a very lopsided victory that saw the opponent score in the single digits. 7th grade now stands at 7-0 on the season.
In the night cap, the 8th grade battled from start to finish, but came out on the short end of a 32-40 game. The ladies never backed down, and fought back from a couple of deficits where they could have just caved. Great effort all night was hurt, though, with a couple of untimely mental errors late in the game. The loss leaves 8th grade at 4-3 on the season.
Both teams are back in action Wednesday for the season finale at New Lothrop - with the 8th grade looking to exact some revenge for some late game theatrics in their first meeting.
Have a terrific Tuesday and remember it’s always a great day to have a great day!

The Lady Marauders traveled to New Lothrop last night for the season finale.
The 7th grade grade came out strong in a tight contest that saw the lead multiple times. Although the hornets made some runs, the 7th grade broke free and opened up a lead at the end to pull away and finish out the season 7-0.
The 8th grade Lady Marauders battled hard in a low scoring affair that saw both teams in the single digits at half. Mental errors would be their downfall, as they couldn't muster a comeback, as the hornets struck for the second time this season. 8th grade finished the season 4-4.
Congrats to all the Lady Marauders on awesome seasons!!
And finally your science fact of the week: a TEASPOON of a neutron star would weight 6 BILLION tons - these dying stars explode in a supernova while its core collapses in on itself due to gravity making some of the densest matter in the known universe.
Have a tremendous Thursday and remember optimism is a positivity magnet, so try a positive attitude and see what you attract.
