? The Scottsburg High School wrestling team enters this season with several key members returning to action looking to improve on last year’s results.
The Warriors return four wrestlers that qualified for regionals last year and two of those wrestlers have been named to the preseason rankings.
Juniors Tanner Howard and Nick Henderson both have garnered some preseason attention as both sit in the top 15 of their weight classes. Howard enters the season ranked no. 9 at 145 pounds and Henderson no. 13 at 171 pounds. Head Coach Tyson Skinner stated, “The preseason rankings are nice, but there will be a lot of changes to them after the season gets going. Both our guys are ranked based on last year and this summer, but both will be moving up a weight, so we will have to wait and see how everything pans out.”

? Kids First, the local non-profit organization which aids needy children and their families year-round, will conduct its annual auction on Saturday, November 22.
Once again, the Kids First Auction will be held in the Knights of Columbus Hall on U.S. Highway 31 North. The auction begins at 9 a.m. that morning and goes until everything is gone.
Volunteers are already getting items ready for the event, and everyone is encouraged to donate goods, services or gift cards. Longtime Kids First volunteers Sherry and Ross St. Clair can be contacted at 752-5854 by those with items to contribute.
Toys are always a popular item with bidders as are tools, bikes, theme baskets, quilts, vacation trips, sports memorabilia, Christmas crafts and decorations and ‘most anything else that can be auctioned. Funds raised by the auction are used to help youngsters and their families year-round with special needs, such as medicines, gas money for doctor visits, hearing aids and the like. Kids First money also helps support the efforts of the Scott County Community Clearinghouse.
Items donated should be new or in excellent condition. Arrangements can be made for volunteers to come to the donor’s home to pick up contributions.
Kids First always has a wrap-up auction a few days after the main event, which provides an opportunity to buy items that were not claimed by winning bidders. Those wishing to bid in the November 22 auction can visit the Knights of Columbus Hall that Saturday to place their offers and will also be able to phone in bids as well as watch what’s happening and what’s being offered on the Insight Cable TV Community Channel. At the wrap-up event, bidders must be present.
