The week was a year to remember
Howe Bulldogs gain confidence by taking down Bonham and Blue Ridge Historically, the way to consolidate power is to put people into fear. During the Cold War everyone feared the Russians and Communists were coming to take away our right to believe in God. The response was to build up a large nuclear arsenal, spy network, and greatest military in the world instead of using money for schools and communities. After September 11, 2001, the Bush-Cheney Administration used the same strategy to consolidate power by elevating everyone’s perceptions beyond realty. The same thing is happening now. Media careers have been saved thanks to Donald Trump who allowed for media companies to elevate fear. They told Americans that he wasn’t just another President, but he was a grave threat to everything that is good in our life. And it’s not only him, but the entire MAGA movement of millions of people behind him that were labeled “racists” or “white supremacists” or now “domestic terrorists.” This caused MSNBC and the New York Times to explode with money.

The Howe Bulldogs (4-4, 2-2) placed themselves into the win column in two of three games this past week which began with a Monday night 40-35 win at home over previously undefeated Bonham (11-2, 12) and followed up with a Friday night win at home against Blue Ridge (12-5, 2-2). The Monday night win especially gave the Bulldogs a confidence booster and a testament that they are to be contended with in District 11-3A. But you’ll hear no mention of playoff discussions from Howe Head Coach Jay Forsythe, or his players as they are committed to the improvement and progression from game-togame. ‘The boys are buying in to what we’re doing and I’m just proud of them,” said Forsythe after a Monday night win at home against previously undefeated Bonham. “To beat an undefeated, it’s a big step for my boys to be able to do that.” Forsythe was exceptionally happy with the inside play of Kolby Taylor after the Bonham game. “He’s battling and playing almost every minute of every game. He’s willing to do the dirty work.” said Forsythe. “He may not

have all the points in the world, but the points he does bring is cream on the cupcake. We’ll take the almost double-digit rebounds every night.” After the surprising win over Bonham on Monday, the locker room could be heard throughout Bulldog Hall as the team’s excitement could not be contained. But the victory was short lived as Howe has to play the next night in Gunter against the Tigers (2-11, 1-2) to build upon the win. The result was a let-down of large portions. Howe, playing back-to-back nights showed fatigue as

Just as we were glad to say goodbye to 2020, here ushered in what appeared to be an extended week of the horror show. In barely 48 hours the sitting President of the United States of America was erased from
the digital world and cut off from the American people. His support networks were burned to the ground. That should scare all Americans no matter what side of the isle one might sit. The
