Goodbye Fall sports, hello Winter ones

This is the official end of the fall sports and beginning of the winter sports seasons. Today is the first day of practice for wrestling, while basketball starts on Monday.
It seems like yesterday that the fall sports were starting and I was freaking out at the number of teams I had to cover. Such a cliche, but true.
Three months later, it feels like its been longer than three months.
Now instead of soccer, volleyball, football, cross country and golf, there are only two sports to cover: wrestling and basketball.
This doesn’t mean I’ll have ample time to sit around but it does mean there just won’t be as much variety in my life.

Link of the day: up close.

Three stars:
-Polson volleyball team: the team took fourth at the state tournament
-Payton Fitzpatrick: he took second in the short-go and second in average at the Northwest Miniature Bull finals
-Aimee and Sasha: the reporters didn’t hurt themselves on their first snowboarding trip of the season

What to watch for:
-the cyclo cross bike race on Saturday at the fairgrounds: races start at Noon. There is a first-timers race for those interested
-one week until Thanksgiving
