Toulon’s new barber shop

Well, not exactly two bits, but a haircut is only $8 at Cindy McCann’s new barber shop on Main Street just west of Casey’s, in Toulon. A beard trim is possible, too. A shave isn’t an option, as Cindy says, “You don’t want to see me with a razor around your face.”

Paige Nowlan and Ashley Phillips combined for seven three pointers of a team total of nine, which gave the Lady Rebels a big 19-4 scoring advantage in the second quarter.

IMG_0449Stark County’s boys basketball season didn’t start like everyone else’s.
“We felt like we had some disadvantages before the holidays with shortened practices because of football and then the accident situation,” said head coach Jade Noard. “We kept preaching to our kids we want to get through this until Christmas when we would have a full week to practice.”
The Rebels have started their conference season off the right way with five straight victories to remain a perfect 5-0.
“They’ve taken a lot of pride in defending their conference title,” said Noard. “I thought our kids did a good job believing, which is tough when you start 2-7, you can go down in the dumps. But we kept telling them there are better times to come.”
