"My mom always did one thing that was interesting. She never asked me what I shot. She said, 'If you want me to know what you shot, you'll tell me. I don't have to ask you what you shot.'"

The Bluffton girls are partying like it's 2001. That's the last time they won the sectional.

The boys ended a run of five straight, finishing second.

And a new star continues to shine for Southern Wells, with Carpenter winning two conf. titles.

“We’ve never lived in a world where 22-year-olds couldn’t assume that the work they did they would be able to do until death or retirement, and we’re never going to have that world again,” says former Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse.

[T. Cocanower // IN Teacher of the Year 2023 @T_Cocanower]

Thank you @BenSasse for saying the things we should all be saying, discussing, and doing!

This is statesmanship. This is Kingdom work!

❤️Love seeing social studies teachers get this kind of recognition. Stories like this remind people our classrooms go beyond content. We’re building critical thinking, empathy, and civic understanding daily. We may not always get the spotlight, but this work matters. #sschat
