Helena-West Helena · Helena-West HelenaTwo weeks ago, Andrew Bagley, the Helena World Publisher, wrote a column advocating for a regular series of football games between the area's two major public high schools, Central High School and Barton High School. Bagley rightfully notes that both teams play each other in other sports, notably basketball and volleyball. He does not understand the continued resistance to the two schools playing in football.

Helena-West Helena · Helena-West HelenaThe City of Helena West Helena remains with substantial problems ranging from heavy debt, no animal control, an ancient water system, and crumbling infrastructure. During the September 5 meeting, the city's Sanitation head reported to the council that all three trucks were down. This new city council has proven no more capable than the previous one.

Helena-West Helena · Helena-West HelenaThe Helena West Helena City Council approved the annual permit for the King Biscuit Blues Festival (KBBF) at its Sept. 5 meeting, which turned out to be the only item of consequence the council did in much of the session.

The reality is that many of these weekend games served exactly that purpose. Who in the world is scheduling all of these lame games? Arkansas, for example, looked like it was playing some sort of high school JV team as it cruised to a 56-13 win over Western Carolina. Other scores? Notre Dame scored early…See the Story

Helena-West Helena · Helena-West HelenaOpening Day 2023 for local high school football will likely not be well-remembered or regarded, but the weekend proved cringe worthy on several levels. Both public schools, Central and Barton, lost by substantial margins. Both the Cougars and Bears simply looked like they ran out of steam before halftime. Which brings me to question why in the world are we playing these games in near-100 degree temperatures in August. To someone's credit, most …See the Story
