Feeling like a daily

With last night's last minute deadline story writing, it felt almost like I was writing for a daily. However, I was just making sure to get the Bottineau Stars volleyball team's Region 6 first round win into our weekly paper.

Also on the week I covered DCB winter sports--all of them, men's basketball, women's basketball and hockey.

I went 10-3 with my NFL picks this week, actually doing pretty well so far.

Here are the pictures from this week. (Just a reminder, these pictures belong to the Courant, not me, and can't be used, unless you have permission.)
