SUMMARY: In this content piece, the Wildcats of Calhoun City are preparing for the upcoming football season. They finished last season with a 6-6 record and are aiming to win the state championship this year. However, they face the challenge of the loss of their star running back, Jackson Cook, who tore his ACL in practice. The team wants to dedicate their season to him and is looking for someone else to step up and fill the void. The Wildcats have not reached the big game since 2020 and haven’t won the state championship since 2016. They are determined to get back to their winning roots. Their first game will be against Coffeeville on August 24th.

The Calhoun City Wildcats are coming off a 6-6 season. Head Coach MD Jennings said every team at this point has the same goal, to win the gold ball at the end of the season.

SUMMARY: In a recent “Wellness Wednesday” segment, Dr. Quinn discusses the impact of technology on health. He highlights both benefits, such as increased access to health information, and drawbacks, including reduced physical activity and disrupted sleep patterns due to screen exposure. Dr. Quinn observes that technology often distracts users, leading to time loss and decreased engagement in daily activities. He suggests a technology detox, advocating for 24-hour breaks from social media to foster mental well-being. Additionally, he notes that prolonged screen time can cause eye strain and reduce active learning opportunities, particularly among students using AI for schoolwork.
