RON MALY HAS BEEN WATCHING THE PARADE GO BY FOR A LONG TIME. THIS IS ONE OF HIS WEBSITES.

That was an entertaining doubleheader last night on opposite sides of Valley High School. Had time allowed, it could've been a nice tripleheader. It all began at 6 p.m. with the Holiday Concert presented by the Valley Southwoods Freshman High School Concert Band, Valley's Concert Ensemble and Valley's Symphony Band. Because of the length of the concert, we didn't get to the Bill Coldiron Fieldhouse on the westsuide of the school until the first couple of minutes of the Valley-Mason City boys' basketball game, which the Tigers [2-0] won, 56-45, thanks to sophomore Quinton Curry scoring 16 of his 18 points in the last half. In the first game, Valley's girls [4-0] cruised to a 72-52 victory. I'm critical of the paper frequently for its lousy coverage of high school sports these days. Typical of its non-coverage was the fact that there was nothing--not a word--on the boys' game in today's paper. It's a good thing I was in the fieldhouse. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known which team won. Oh, well.
