Little Elliot Razek may be holding a valuable basketball, if the ONU undefeated women's basketball team wins the national championship.
That possibility is looking more likely since the Polar Bears convincingly beat the champion of the Northern Athletic Collegiate Conference on Friday and the on Saturday stopped Trine University of Indiana.
The miniball was signed by all of the ONU players. Elliot has probably seen more basketball games than most adults ever have.
He's seen nearly all of the women's games the past four years because his aunt, Angela Tesny, is senior 5-8 guard on the Polar Bear team.
Liberty Belles and Boys 4-H Club signup meeting is set for 7-8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 7, at the Ada First Presbyterian Church.
Regular meetings are held on the first, third and fifth Tuesdays of the month, March thru August, from 7-8:30 p.m. at the church. Any Hardin County youth who is 8 years old and in the third grade by January 1 this year or older may join.

Marilyn Jean Sumney is in the Resident Spotlight at Vancrest this month. The newsletter says that Jean once raised 200 rose bushes. Being a switchboard operator was her favorite job. The newsletter continues:
Jean was born on July 26. She grew up in this area graduating from Layfette Jackson school which is now Allen East. Jean enjoys the summertime and the warm weather that comes along with it the most.
