HAMLET — They must have something in the soil to the west.
Hensler Nursery’s of Hamlet took two of their Christmas trees to the Indiana State Fair this month and came home batting 1.000. An eight foot White Pine entered in the contest took home a Grand Champion prize and a seven foot Frazer Fir was named reserve champion. Each brought home blue ribbons.
LAKEVILLE — LaVille might have come up short of the win, but the Lady Lancers still walked off the court with something of a moral victory Monday.
After falling behind two games to visiting Goshen, the Lancers refused to surrender in the final game, running out the game 10-10 but still losing a prolonged 30-28 battle in a 25-21, 25-15, 30-28 loss at home.
“I love their effort. I’m not really disappointed when they lose when they play like they did,” said LaVille head coach Leslie-ann Bloss. “They’ve come a long way from where they were in the beginning of the season."
