Never discount the fighting heart of the Savage Heat.

Talk about getting sick at precisely the wrong time, the under-the-weather Noxon Red Devil boys fell victim to the flu bug and to their opponents in the District 14C tournament in Ronan last week. Without starter Aiden Galloway in their tournament opener against Two Eagle River Thursday, the Devils were upset by the hot-shooting Eagles 57-51. The Devils lost 66-53 to Hot Springs Saturday morning in loser-out action. Already pretty thin on their bench, the Devils had to readjust their lineup to play the Eagles without point guard Galloway,...

Accustomed to playing night games...

All said and done, the Noxon Lady Red Devils ended up having a pretty good basketball season in their first campaign under new head coach Cortney Vohs.

INTERESTING LEGISLATION ON PLASTICS CONSIDERED IN OREGON: Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden have introduced two recycling bills to the U.S. Senate, one of which is modeled after the successful Oregon “bottle bill.” Oregon’s U.S. senators are hoping to replicate the state’s recycling success on the national level, having introduced a pair of bills that take aim at the prevalence of plastics in American waste.
