Of course, there are a couple auctions this week, but I don't think we could get them in and get trucks lined up that quickly, so I guess we are going to remain in the cow business after all. Still it is interesting to think about what our lives would be like without cows. As I thought about it, I came up with several life...

The Broadus Hawks might be the Bulldogs' closest football opponent in terms of miles, but Friday night's season opener at Rowley Field was a non-conference game, providing both team's a chance to learn a bit more about themselves before beginning conference play. The Bulldogs are a young squad this year. Several freshman will be contributing valuable playing time as the season progresses, even more so now since CCHS was hit with multiple injuries in the opener. The Bulldogs...
