As a late-season test before the district tournament, Bronson's home finale against Williston was a great workout for both teams.

"I feel better now," said Williston head coach Dave Vespignani, following the Red Devils' 64-48 win over the Eagles.

The Devils had been shocked the night before when a Trinity Catholic team that was in no way their superior beat them badly.

Eagles head coach Kelly Beckham had also been waiting to see which Williston team emerged after that Trinity game.

* Jeffrey Phillip Light, 31, of Archer was arrested Jan. 31 for two counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a specific minor. Bond $50,000.

Listen, carefully. I'm a member of the Audubon Society. I believe in the protection of birds. That's why I'm deeply offended by the nickname, Bronson Eagles. I demand that it be changed.

Sound absurd? Of course it does. And I'm not really in the Audubon Society, although I did have a couple of parakeets when I was growing up.

Worrying about school nicknames is, to me, a waste of time. There are far more important things to be concerned about.
