CONVOY - With host Crestview coming off two close defeats - the second on a last-second triple - undermanned Ada was no match for the vengeful Knights as they lost 72-31 in a Northwest Conference boys basketball game Friday night.
Ohio State signee Kalen Etzler poured in 13 first-period points to shoot Crestview into a 29-9 lead.
Knight teammate J.J. Ward also knocked down a pair of trifectas in the opening stanza.
These homemade hot pads are hot items at Beatitudes this winter. And, they are selling at bargain prices, 50 cents each. As the old saying goes, "Get them while they're hot."

It is a certainty that “The Covid-19 Era” will resonate with us as “The Great Depression” did with our parents and grandparents.
The message “never throw anything away because you never know when you might need it,” is among the what-did-your Depression era grandparents and parents teach their Baby Boomers children?
That Great Depression generation’s continual reminder that things may be great today, but, once upon a time that wasn’t the case, can only mean they experienced something that we know very little about today.
