Editor, Thank you Tammy Walters, owner of The Golden Spike, for not bowing down to Governor Bullock’s unconstitutional and illegal mandates, and Hill County Health Department’s attempt to enforce them.

On one hand, the program he or she just left will certainly feel the void left behind, but at the same time, it can also open a spot up for a young coach to cut his or her teeth, to get his or her feet wet. Indeed,. It works both ways. And so, I’m sure after the announcement that, North Star head coach C...
