Online news, commentary and discussion for Washington County and beyond
The decor is starting to go up in local communities. Washington’s decorations also started showing up on the poles recently. I can’t believe it is already that time of year. It still have things I want to accomplish this summer… oh wait, summer’s long gone.
Bill Snyder is speaking right now as the new K-State football coach. Good luck to him. If he can bring back to Manhattan what he did in his first term, then he will be the legend of legends.
I’m also done using sources for a while, because mine was wrong that Patterson was definitely the next [...]
The Hanover Wildcats beat Victoria in the 8-man division II state championship game today 46-14.
Clifton-Clyde lost a hard-fought TVL battle to take the runner-up spot to B&B in the 8-man division I championship game, 16-24.
Congratulations to both teams for tremendous seasons!
And I’m sorry to the folks who posted scores and updates. For some reason, all [...]

This video is from failblog.org, one of the most popular WordPress blogs and worth checking out when you’re on deadline and need a way to waste more time, thereby shooting yourself in the foot. I don’t [...]
I’ve been complaining like everyone else about today’s cold temps. After seeing this pictures from a local i-Reporter (I’ll talk about that concept later), I realize I could have it worse. These guys are working on the new cell tower near the hotel in Washington today. It’s gotta be cold up there! Thank you to [...]
At least a few very small flakes are falling, but this would make it the first snow of the year as far as I know. Get out the hot chocolate!
In the story about Clifton-Clyde making it to the state championship, I said this was the first time Clifton-Clyde made it to the state championship as a combined school. Wrong!
