The Green River High School girl’s basketball team played great defensively last Thursday night against rival Rock Springs, but could not find enough ways to score and dropped a 43-32 road contest to their rivals.

Green River finished the game with 24 turnovers, and Carroll said many of them were uncontested and that hurt the team. “I also through we missed a lot of easy baskets. Those are some sho...
This is the story of a cat and a dog. While it certainly has some of those random chaotic moments that seen to happen to me far too often and may show some good in the world, but at its heart it’s just a simple story of man’s best friend and his natural enemy. A few months ago my mom and stepdad decided to get a puppy. It wasn’t an easy decision after their two beloved Yorkshire Terriers had passed away over the past several years. She was insistent about getting a dog, and he would have nothi...

One would think in a place like Hollywood, there would be a ton of aspiring screenwriters who have a numerous brilliant ideas that will blow away movie goers. This certainly doesn’t seem to be the case. Last week, I was reading an article that said Chris Pratt was the leading contender for a “reboot” of the Indiana Jones movie franchise. While I have nothing against Pratt and loved him since his early comedy days and role on Parks and Recreation, does the world really need another Indiana Jones...

A few weeks ago I decided to change it up and made a trip to Arby’s in Rock Springs. I pulled into the crowded parking lot and could not find a space. While there were a lot of people there getting their fix of beef and cheddars, there should have been a space available. Instead, three different people decided it was perfectly fine to park not even close to in between the lines. The three instigators were not even next to each other. It was almost as if they planned it in unison just to screw u...
