We all have those lists - you know, resolutions, what I want to accomplish in the new year: lose weight, keep on track, community involvement, volunteer more, take a vacation, spiritual growth - you get the idea. This is a time for personal reflection and spiritual preparation for the new year. It offers a structured opportunity to examine what is holding us back from being who we really want to be. If we use the new year to take concrete steps towards becoming advocates for change, together we can make a difference! - Begin with prayer: Going...
The Holy Scriptures reveal that God in heaven wants you have a happy new year. Look at the kind of “happy newness” he offers us both now and forever if we put our faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ…” - 2 Corinthians 5:17-18. “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and m...

With less than 17 seconds remaining in the game, Sidney freshman Janay Brauer approached the free throw line. With apparent ease, she calmly hit two shots – both swishes – giving the Sidney High School girls' basketball team (8-3, 1-0) a 5-point lead to secure its victory. The perfect free throws marked her third and fourth within 10 seconds during Sidney's 52-47 victory over the Kimball High Lady Longhorns (6-1, 1-3) on Thursday night at the Cabela's Athletic Center. In a physical and fas...
An undefeated Sidney High School boys' basketball team controlled, from tipoff to final buzzer, Thursday's game against the Kimball High Longhorns (3-4, 1-3). On offense and defense, the Red Raiders (11-0, 1-0) dominated, winning 82-46. Perhaps the biggest obstacle of the night for the Sidney players was when an off-target Kimball shot caused the ball to become stuck between the rim and backboard. It took Sidney senior Jake Heeren three attempts to free the ball. Once the task was completed, and...

Is it possible to win a tournament without actually winning it? Sidney did just that Thursday at the Western Trails Conference Tournament in Kimball. The Raiders bested Bridgeport by half a point in the team standings to take the top spot in the tournament, even though they couldn't technically win since they are not a member of the conference. Sidney wrestling coach John Ganser said the tournament gave his team quality mat time and helped shake some rust off after the Christmas break....
