High School Notes On Weathered Week With Games Ahead
Despite bad weather last Friday night the school entertainment drew a large crowd. Door receipts totaled 56 45 dollars and after all expenses are paid about 83 00 dollars will be set aside for sundry supplies. Tomorrow night Knoxville will play here. Knoxville has earned a strong athletics reputation, so no easy game is expected. The team was in the district tournament semi final in Galesburg two years ago. On December 21 our boys are scheduled to play Yates City at Yates City, but we are trying to arrange the title game there so we can host Cambridge here on December 21 or 22. If that fails we will likely host Cambridge here on Saturday afternoon, December 22, and possibly play Glanford on December 26. Brimfield plans holiday games with Princeville on December 24, Dunlap on January 1, and an overall effort to furnish a full slate for fans.
