Ty's Take
Friday night lights in the district semifinals mean the Lady Tigers have got their eyes on Cabool, and if you've got daughters or granddaughters in school, you already know what kind of week this is around here. The whole county has a way of holding its breath when tournament time comes around, because in a town this size, high school sports aren't just something to do on a Friday night, they're the thing that binds us together. The commissioners meanwhile are working through the regular business of keeping our roads passable and our bridges sound, which doesn't make for exciting headlines but matters more than most folks stop to think about. Nancy Jo Davis passing also reminds us that some weeks the news is about loss, about the people we knew and will miss, and that's the news that really stays with you.
