The Cowley College volleyball team plays at 11 this moring in the district tournament at the Cowley gym.
They are fun to watch, and I would encourage everyone to get out and see them. Today will be the last chance to see them locally.
They should win their first game handily, but you never know. I dont think they will be overconfident and overlook anyone.
The championship is set for 2, but with the way tournaments go, it could be a little later.
The winner will advance to the nationals. Cowley has gone to the nationals four years in a row.
This year's team is a little different, with a new coach and a new system. Previously the team relied on power and had more tall players. This year's team is perhaps a little more athletic overall, even if they don't have the homerun hitters.
To use a football analogy. They have gone from a power-I offense to a spread offense.
So come on out and watch. Ill try to post the score after the first game.
I may be overlooking their first opponent, but im sure they are not.

shootings
I did not mention anything about the shooting at Ft. Hood yesterday. I was just in shock I guess, and thought it would be widely discussed everywhere anyway.
The guy was apparently a muslim, but seemed to also have greater problems as well.
Really doubt that this was an act of terrorism put on by the taliban though.
Then today there was another shooting. This one at an office building in Florida. A disgruntled former employee.
These things do tend go to in streaks, but it is kinda odd that it happened two days in a row.
We do live in trou is over.bled times. There may be more senseless acts of violence before it is all said and done.
I think it is a symptom of a greater spiritual problem that persists throughout the nation and world.
so ... what do you all think.

Just a question
Here is a question I have been wondering about.
People who are conservative are supposed to be the more patriotic of the parties that are out there. Patriotism, love of God and Country are key points of conservativism.
So. why is it that they are so anti-government?
How can you love your country and hate your government?
Can anyone explain this?

Friday morning - cowley volleyball
Good morning.
Cop notes are posted. Also posted a new outdoors column, and there are sports updates on the sports page.
Saturday the Cowley volleyball team will be hosting the district tournament. Cowley opens play at 11 a.m., against Coffeyville. Championship is at 2:30. The winner will go to nationals. Cowley has been to the nationals four years in a row and has finished no lower than fifth.
Could be interesting at nationals this year. Last two - three years, a team from near Chicago has been way ahead of everyone else. They are still in the top 10, but ranked lower than Cowley this year. Cowley has beaten the team that is ranked No. 1 earlier this year.
So the nationals might be more open this year as far as the teams being equal.
Ok, ive just put a lot of pressure on the girls. I would be really shocked if they don't win Saturday and advance to the nationals. Once you are at the nationals, anything can happen.
Lets get out and support the Lady Tigers volleyball team.

politics and greed
Lets see the politicans and business leaders talk their way out of this one.
In some cases, bankers and wall street financial firms are getting swine flu vaccine instead of hospitals who need it for high risk patients.

Anyone still say we dont need health care reform?
