I pray everyone had a good week and you found yourself in the Lord’s favor. Sunday morning worship services were opened by Presleigh with the ringing of the bell. Before beginning the message, we observed a moment of silence for those lost in the tragedy of Sept. 11. Bro. Grant Coffey’s message, “Tragedy, Terror and…

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another awesome week inside the Blue and White! It has been a busy one here in the Valley, with big wins on the field and the court, a field trip to Oxford and plenty of school spirit to go around. Let me fill you in on everything that’s been…

COFFEEVILLE — Coffeeville struck first Friday night, but Water Valley didn’t stay behind for long.
