ST. LOUIS – A Missouri lawmaker wants you to enjoy your turkey and pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, but not buy a LCD high-definition TV at a low, low price.

State Rep. Jeff Roorda, D-Barnhart, has pre-filed what he calls the Thanksgiving Family Protection Act, which would prohibit all retail establishments except restaurants, gas stations and drug stores from opening on Thanksgiving.

First please note that Thursday’s girls game at South Callaway will be varsity only.  Game time remains at 6 p.m.

We’ve had numerous cancellations on our 9th grade schedules due to other schools not having enough kids to field three teams.

At the same time, we have a lot of freshmen boys and girls playing basketball this year, most of which will not get a chance to compete at the JV level.

Therefore, the 9th grade schedules have been completely “re-worked” in an effort to find more games for both our girls and boys.
