GREENSBORO, N.C. — John Dawson knows he’s a lucky guy. He’s not playing at venues like Madison Square Garden, nor in cities like Charlotte, New York or Los Angeles. ESPN doesn’t spend hours speculating on his next free-agent landing spot. At least not yet. What Dawson does already have in common with the players who do some or all of the above is that he’s a basketball player drawing a paycheck for playing basketball. Now in his second season with the NBA G League’s...
Sometimes the best stories are those that can't be told. Such is the case with Mr. Mess. He's a (mostly) Pomeranian pup found just after dark during Thursday's wind storm.

And whenever I sing those songs, at the center of the music is hope. I hope I won’t mess up by forgetting the words or, wor...
The weather in Quay County has not contributed to the feeling that Christmas is upon us. To be sure, I’m not complaining about that, but here we are, regardless of how it feels. To all the readers of this humble column, may you be richly blessed as you celebrate the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. Consider taking half an hour to re-read the Gospel narratives that tell the story. These are found in Matthew 1 and 2; Luke 1 and 2; and John 1. You can knock those out in the time it takes to sip your way through one cup of cocoa...
Elida’s football season has been over since November 10, but the accolades came rolling in this month. The Tigers made it all the way to the state 6-Man championship game, where they lost to a tough Animas team. The 6-Man District 1 all-district awards were released last week, with Elida’s state finalist squad earning 14 overall selections — 10 first-team and four second-team. Floyd earned nine selections — six on the first team and three on the second. San Jon/Gra...
