Stroud’s Tigers scored on their first two offensive plays, led 30-0 with just over six minutes gone in the game and hung half a hundred on Mounds in the first two quarters Thursday night. It was a continuation of the Tigers’ domination of District A-6.

Logan Devereaux gets behind the Luther defender for a long gain in the Bulldogs’ win Friday night. The victory lifted Meeker to a 3-2 record in district and gave them a big leg up for the playoffs. If the Dogs win one of their final two games, they’ll be in the playoffs. If that win is against Crossings Friday night, they probably will finish third and play the second-place team from District 2A-1 on the round in the first round. Photo/Rick Hester

As a kid, I used to wonder about a couple of my uncles. They were friendly guys, easy to get along with and good uncles to have, but they loved to fight. According to my dad - their younger brother - they didn’t need to be angry or offended to fight someone.
