The results are in for the cow patty experiment. For those of you who have a 鈥渂urning鈥� desire to know the results, there was some smell but it was not a horrible smell. The experiment was conducted in the science lab Friday. The smell was a lot like burning prairie grass or an underbrush smoke smell. The patty was quite dense and difficult to get to start burning. It did throw out and sustain a tremendous amount of heat for a significant period of time.
聽The junior boys鈥� basketball team attended the Battle West District Championships in Unity Feb. 6 and 7. They lost their first game to John Paul II and then went on to win over Luseland and Macklin. This means they won the consolation side of the tournament. Well done, boys.
