The Sanford-Fritch Lady Eagles found themselves in unfamiliar territory on Tuesday night. They were playing in a regional quarterfinal. They also found themselves up against a familiar foe. The Bushland Lady Falcons won the district that Fritch is also a part of, and they have also earned a #3 ranking in the state. The Lady Eagles knew it would be a tough task to fend off the Lady Falcons. Unfortunately for the Lady Eagles, state ranked Bushland would take the quarterfinal in straight sets: 25-15, 25-10, and 25-12.

The current President of the United States will remain in office for a second term.
President Barack Obama defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney in what many projected to be neck-and-neck race. He received 303 electoral votes in the final tally to Romney's 206.
However, it appears that the popular vote is still too close to call, as Florida has not declared a winner as of press time today. Presently, totals show that President Obama received 58,961,679 votes across the country and Romney received 56,601,653 votes.
