    The RHS volleyball team competed in the Abilene Invitational on Oct. 17.  The Dawgs lost the first match to Buhler (21-25, 23-25) and also the second to Abilene (13-25, 15-25).  They bounced back to beat Russell (25-16, 25-19) which advanced them to the match for fifth place where  the Dawgs beat Royal Valley (25-16, 25-22).

Budget Cuts Might Close Rossville Pool

    The Shawnee County Parks and recreation Dept. needs to cut $1.5 of expenses to meet their reduced budget.  One of the ways to cut expenses involves either closing or reducing the hours of the Rossville swimming pool.
    It might be a good idea if the people of Rossville would make their voices heard.  Closing the pool after all the efforts to get it built would be a travesty.
