Lee Dodson Seeks Five-on-Five Girls Basketball Rule Change
Arkansas ninth grader Lee Dodson seeks a court order to block a rule change by the Arkansas Activities Association that would end five-on-five girls basketball. The case centers on restoring the preJanuary rules, amid a split vote and ongoing battles over girls’ play in Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Iowa. Dodson, a 5 foot 2 player who starred for Gaza’s 108 team, won a recent camper award and aims to play five-on-five in high school.

Trusty Time the Harness Star From Amish Beginnings
Trusty Time, a Roosevelt Raceway harness winner in spring 1977, began as an Amish buggy horse sold for 305 dollars due to headstrong behavior. He later sold for 400 dollars to Don Jacobs in Ohio, who trained him to run. Trainer Doug Hamilton notes the horse goes wild around machinery but has excellent temperament otherwise.
