One Nation, Under God

Whitewater News & Opinion for Wednesday, March 23, 2022

Our sympathy and prayers go to victims’ refugees in the War.

It is March 2022!! “Happy Birthday” to Grey Simanton, Jesse Simonson, and again Pastor Bob Nagy, and to Seth and Jon Siewing.

Grey Simanton had her 5th birthday, with all her family from both sides. She also brought good cupcakes to church.

Note: Soup Supper at 5 p.m. and church at 6 p.m. on Wednesdays through Lent, at the Whitewater Lutheran Church.

The Whitewater Penguins/North Country Mavericks Girls BB team won 3rd place at the state tournament. WOW! Congratulations to them and all players, teams, and coaches.

They all try and work hard, but some ballplayers just have more ability and are more athletic, or are taller, or have more opportunities to practice. Question from all fans: Why aren’t the teams better matched so scores aren’t so lopsided? There were some close games, though.

I listened to Malta Mustangs games also, and some were nip and tuck, so close all the way. For instance, the Mustang game with Lodge Grass, was a thriller with overtime! A player named Gros Ventre was a star basketball player at 6’4. Many of the Lodge Grass players were over 6 ft, so they can just drop the basketball in the net.

Well, I’ll let the sports writers handle the tournament scores and logistics. Again, congratulations to all teams.

Many parents and fans attended the Mavericks games in Great Falls.

Bruce and Lyn Hill took Jeanie Green to Great Falls games. Then Jean stayed with her family and Hill’s spent time with their family. It really helps if people have somewhere to sleep. I heard motels in Bozeman were going for $400 a night over tournaments! They were probably as high in Great Falls.

Well, the tournaments are over now. Now Whitewater students are preparing for track. The snow has melted but the ground is probably too muddy.

Most ranchers are calving, at least the temperature is way above zero.

Now if the wind would just quit blowing!

Take Care,

Helen A
