West Valley's defense did the work Friday night. The Record Searchlight called the Eagles' win over U-Prep dominant and credited a "relentless" defense.

Going in, the paper's preview said the winner would claim second place in the league and a major playoff-seeding advantage. It also said the Eagles had shown the stronger defense over the last four weeks. The game was one of 18 on the Northern Section's final regular season slate.

Most dog food marketing lives on the front of the bag. Sundays For Dogs wants you to read the back.

Sundays was founded by Dr. Tory, a veterinarian who wanted something better for her own dog, Mabel. Every recipe is made with over 80% real meat and nutrient-rich extracts of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains — complete and balanced nutrition for every life stage. If an ingredient sounds like it came from a chemistry lab, it’s not in the bag.

Had a beautiful visitor today!

“Just love living in the country! And love birds. At first I thought it was a red-tailed hawk or a Coopers Hawk but when he flew away and I saw his tail I could see that it was a Red-Shouldered Hawk. Just gorgeous.”
