Plymouth Holds Off Warsaw
What this year's edition of the Warsaw baseball team lacks in experience, it seems to make up for in heart and guts. The senior-less Tigers were down 7-1 to Plymouth (the No.6 preseason team in the state), before rallying for seven runs to get back into the game, but watched as the Pilgrims came back for an 11-9 win Friday at Tiger Field.
Tigers Split At Own Tourney
It might not have been any prettier, but it was certainly better for Warsaw. After suffering an ugly 48-27 loss to Perry Meridian in the first round of the Tiger Tourney Saturday, Warsaw bounced back with a 49-45 win over Mt.Vernon in the consolation game. The Tigers turned the ball over against the Perry Meridian press 35 times and against Mt.Vernon didn't fare much better with 30 miscues.But the Tiger defense stepped up in the consolation game and held Mt.Vernon to 18 of 60 (30 percent) from the field and held off Mt.Vernon in the fourth quarter. The win snapped a two-year winless streak in their own tourney for the Tigers.
Barbee Sewer Progress Temporarily Put On Hold
Barbee Lakes Conservancy District bowed to the pressure of an ensuing lawsuit Saturday, but lashed out at the group that spurred the action. The district board voted unanimously Saturday to voluntarily refrain from any new costly steps to construct a sewer system until after a Feb.28 election of its board. The move came after Barbee Lakes Quality Network filed suit in Kosciusko Circuit Court Oct.24 seeking an injunction that would block progress in the district's efforts to construct a sewer covering seven lakes. The district will be able to continue its daily operations, but won't be able to act upon a facility plan expected to be approved within a few weeks by the state. The agreement nullifies any need for a scheduled court hearing that had been set for Nov.10.The district will conduct its regular monthly meeting Nov.11. "We're sitting here with our hands tied, but we accept it," said district president Jack Maule.
Lice Outbreak Awaits Students
Kosciusko County officials are asking parents for help with a perennial problem that's even worse this year: head lice. "We've never gotten so many phone calls - we need help," said county health nurse Deborah Frank. Frank said lice are found occasionally at the high school level, but are "really bad" in elementaries and day care centers. Because of the contagious nature of this health problem, Frank suggests that parents conduct weekly head checks from August to November, which is considered the lice season. If lice are found, don't be embarrassed: nearly three million Americans get head lice each year."It's not a sin to have them, but it is a sin to keep them," Frank said. The first step is to remove the lice from the child's head.Medications are available at pharmacies and department stores.Shampoo the child's head thoroughly; a second shampoo may be necessary a week to 10 days after the eggs hatch, Frank said.

Despite Roster Changes, Vikings Looking For 3rd Straight Winning Seaso
Strictly statistically, Tippecanoe Valley football appears to be starting from scratch in 2020. Consider that 93% of the Vikings’ rushing yards last season were compiled by players who have since graduated, as well as 99% of the passing yards — nearly all those in the person of versatile two-year starter Tanner Trippiedi — and 71% of the receiving yards. Over on the other side of the ball, six of the top seven tacklers have departed. Gone largely within that group are 26 of the 29 takeaways that the Valley defense racked up and 20 of the team’s 23 sacks.
