Friday night in Maynard was the South Winn show as the Warrior boys downed the home team West Central Blue Devils, 70-34.

“I was very proud of our guys in this game and the improvements we made from game one to game two,” said head coach Blake Moen. “From start to finish, we came out with a great mindset of getting an early lead and building it from there.”

The Warriors jumped out to a 21-4 lead at the end of the first quarter and continued to gradually build on it from there on out.

Santa and Mrs. Claus in Ossian Saturday

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be in Ossian on Saturday, Dec. 12, at the Ossian Community Center. 

A "Santa Mailbox" is in front of the Community Center and kids of all ages are encouraged to drop their letters off to Santa. 

Santa will arrive at 11 a.m. and be at the Community Center until every child gets a chance to greet  him. The recent Covid health issue will mean Santa and Mrs. Claus will be at the front window of the Community Center to wave at and greet the kids. All children will remain outside the building, but will receive a special treat from Santa and Mrs. Claus or their elves. 

Families are asked to wear face masks, practice social distancing while in the Santa line and are encouraged to sanitize their hands before and after the visit. 

Bring your cameras for your holiday picture through the window
