  • Resourceful, aren’t they?


    At some point, we’ve all had to learn a skill.

    After a slow start, the Washington County boys’ and girls’ tennis teams have bounced back.

  • Track team makes it without ‘luxury’ of facilities


    Last season, Washington County High School sent track athletes to the state meet for the first time in at least five years.
    Impressive, right?

    Add to the equation that those athletes, like all the other county track athletes before them, did it without the ‘luxury’ of proper facilities, and then their feat seems highly improbable.
