Worth County's girls threw a scare into King City, a team which had beaten them by 32 the week before. However, they were denied their first victory once again after building up 7-point halftime lead as the Wildkats had too many weapons to stay down for long as they came back to win 42-31. The Tigers had a season-low 18 turnovers against King City; however, they had one missed shot after another in the second half. There was little for Coach April Healy to say afterwards. "Considering how much we lost to them the first time, we played much better," she said. "But we have to quit rushing shots."
Worth County, looking to end its season-long futility, scored the first four points of the game as Haley Green got untracked inside and Jessica Borey had a drive to the basket. But King City, whose inside game was stymied by the Tiger defense this time around, began spraying shots from outside with success. Addisyn Derks, who did not score in the last encounter between the two teams, led the charge along with Courtney Walters and Shelby Stoll as King City came back to lead 12-7; Jessica Borey's 3-pointer from the left wing was the only tally for the Tigers for that stretch.
But Ashley Reynolds came off the bench and sparked the Tigers as they started to play some of their best ball all year. She had an immediate impact as she got a putback and a pair of free throws to close out the first quarter with Worth County very much in the game down 12-11.
Haley Green opened the second quarter by cleaning up on a Jessica Borey steal and then Brooke Adams scored from the left wing to put the Tigers up 15-12. Jessica Borey answered an Amanda Snodgrass free throw with a 3-pointer and the teams traded buckets for the rest of the half as Haley Green scored off an off-balance shot in the paint and Brooke Gilland scored off a kickout from Lauren Null as the Tigers led 22-17. On defense, the Tigers were playing lights-out as Amanda Snodgrass and Kaitlyn Lewis were each held to one point; the Wildkat post duo had burned the Tigers in the previous meeting between the two teams.
Things were looking roses for the Tigers to start the third quarter as Haley Green took a lob pass and turned it into two free throws and Lauren Null had a nice fake and 15-footer to put the Tigers up 26-19, its biggest lead of the game. But all of a sudden, something must have snapped as all of Worth County's shots suddenly started clanging off the rim while Lewis began running wild from the inside and in transition. Derks continued to spray outside shots for the Wildkate, and the lead had disappeared by the three minue mark of the third quarter.
Jessica Borey finally broke the dry spell with a drive against the King City press, but Snodgrass and Derks connected before the end of the third period to put King City up for good at 33-28. As in their other heartbreaker against North Nodaway, they could not respond to the other team's runs as they could only muster a putback by Lauren Null at the start of the fourt and a free throw by Reynolds with 4:21 left in the fourth.

Sheridan Christian Church News for January 28th, 2009
Last Sunday was the first 9:00 worship time followed by Sunday School. The church was full even on a cold, snowy, slippery morning. I hope everyone can keep that time in mind in the future. I called Phillip Wake Sunday afternoon as he likes to worship over here whenever he can, and I wanted to be sure he knew of the new times. He told me of his concern for his daughter in law, Lana. Her cancer has reoccurred and seems to be in her ribs. We will sure be praying for her as she undergoes treatment.
Mike and Becka Parman moved to South Dakota over the weekend where he was transfered to for his job on the railroad. We hope they get settled in and acquainted quickly as they are expecting a baby in May.
We are praising God for protecting Cole Fisher last week as he was in a bad wreck but only had minor injuries. It was good to see him in church Sunday. Our sympathy to the family of Emmett O'Riley, who was killed in the accident.
Next Sunday, February 1st, there will be a Super Bowl Party for young people at Bart and Sarah Hinz's Show-Me Youth Home starting around 4:30. Please let him know if you plan to come and bring a 2-liter bottle of soda and bag of chips.
The youth will be hosting a Valentine's Day banquet on Saturday February 14th at 5:00 PM. At 7, the movie "Fireproof" will be shown. The first 30 families will receive a free copy of the DVD. RSVP to Bart, Jeff, or Vern. The cost is two cans of food for the Mission Possible Center and a free will donation to be used by the youth for trips, etc.
We are having a Monday night Bible Study again at Gary and Marcia Rush's home at 6:30. Everyone is welcome.
Starting on Sunday, February 22nd at 6 PM, Jeff and Stephanie Blaine will host a 6 week marriage study in their home. Please let Jeff know if you plan to attend.
If you are interested in a once-a-month three family fellowship time, talk to Denise Rowen so we can get that organized.

Conference to Highlight Regional Transmission Plan Findings
A recent feasibility study has shown that the Water Partnership for Northwest MO has developed a plan that will provide safe, dependable water to the region at an affordable price. The results of this study will be shared at the Water Symposium IV on Friday, January 30, at the Student Union Ballroom at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville. The Symposium begins at 1:00 PM. with the keynote address being delivered by the MO governor’s office. The public is invited to attend.
The Great Northwest Wholesale Water Commission has been formed to pursue implementation of this project. The commission membership will consist of representatives from participating local water districts and communities. Three local water districts have already pledged membership in the new commission; others have expressed an interest in joining.
Mr. Bill Jarocki, Director of the Environmental Finance Center, will provide a presentation on federal infrastructure funding. He will discuss new funding formulas that may prove useful financial strategies for the new commission.
Symposium IV is expected to draw over two hundred participants from twelve counties including leaders from water boards, city and county governments and legislators. To register for the Symposium, contact Jerri Dearmont at jerri@nwmorcog.org or call 660.582.5121.

Recollections of a Farm Woman for 1-28-09
In Memoriam -- Diane Orr 1947-2008
Diane Sue Matheney was born April 13, 1947 to Harry and Juanita Matheney in Zanesville, OH. She had two sisters and a brother, two daughters and a stepdaughter, and seven grandchildren. Diane passed away November 24, 2008 in Tempe, AZ after a valiant fight with cancer.
Diane and her husband Bill were frequent visitors for several years to our area and made a host of friends in Worth and adjoining counties during the summer time of their visits. When fall was around the corner, they would reluctantly take leave of us but always vowed to return the following year.
When it was evident they couldn't make another trip this way, I took pictures of family, friends, and landmarks and sent them to her. This way, she could make a roadtrip to the Sheridan area any time she wanted.
All the cards that were sent to her on her birthday and other occasions were probably dogeared by the time of her passing as they were reread many times when she was having a bad day and needed a boost; she said they always helped.
Her husband was her rock as she referred to him to the end and was always quick to praise his efforts on her behalf every chance she got.
Diane was a sports fan. One friend especially who was a diehard Chiefs fan had an ongoing wager as she was the same where the Arizona Cardinals were concerned. At the end of the season, whoever's team had the worst season had to pay up. Her illness curtailed the wagers this past year. As you can see, she would have cleaned house.
It has been 45 years since this team has been in a Super Bowl -- Diane laughingly made another wager a couple of years ago. This was before any hint of her impending illness. "I will be dead and gone before they ever make it to the Super Bowl." Sadly, this came to pass.
Bill and Diane moved to Tempe, AZ in the fall of 1984 and were married January 26, 1985. After they retired, they started to make their trips to Missouri as her daughter Tammy Wilson lives east of Sheridan, and would also make side trips to Ohio while they were here. There is one less bright spot in this world now that she is no longer with us.
