Garnett backs
school choice
City endorses political
issue with proclamation,
but source anonymous
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City commissioners last week approved a proclamation for the highly politically
charged issue of school choice,
but so far exactly how the issue
got on the city agenda isnt clear.
It was the first meeting for
newly-elected commissioner
Nate Wiehl, and commissioner Jody Cole, who was elected
mayor by Wiehl and commissioner Mark Locke at the same
meeting, was not in attendance.
As mayor pro-tem Locke read
the proclamation designating
Jan. 21-27 as Garnett School
Choice week, giving it formal
official confirmation by the city
government.
School choice has been controversial because in any of various connotations, it allows parents to access some or all of the
state school funding generated
by their childs attendance at
any public school and use it to
pay tuition at private schools. As
issues have swirled around public school curriculum, political
leanings of teachers and administrators as revealed by at-home
video learning during the Covid
shutdowns and at times fiery
debates over transgender issues
and questionable books at school
board meetings over the past few
years, school choice has become
more popular in some quarters
and more dreaded among many
professionals in the public education sector.
But city clerk Trish Brewer
said the only reason the proclamation was on the agenda was
that it was placed on the agenda
the same time last year.
The citys proclamation
appears to put Garnett government squarely in the support
camp for school choice, but none
of the three commissioners or
city staff the Review reached out
to offered to comment on how
the proclamation came about or
how it came to be placed on
the agenda. Locke referred the
Review to city staff. Brewer said
the proclamation didnt signify a
political position.
It was merely put on the
agenda because it was done the
year before, Brewer told the
Review. The city is not taking
any form of a stand on this.
Republicans in the Kansas
Legislature have voiced support
for a school choice or voucher program that would open
up more options for parents and
students as to which school they
attend, but the move is heavily opposed by teachers unions
and other education officials.

School districts determining
their capacity per new open
enrollment requirement
Now students, parents
have more options in
what schools to attend
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY Area school districts
are determining how many
students they can serve above
their current head count as of
the beginning of January, in
anticipation of possible growth or loss
in head count after
the states new open
enrollment law takes
effect.
Kansas Legislators
last session passed the
enrollment change,
which now requires
local school boards to
create ways for schools
to accept students
from outside their district boundaries. The
new law allows parents more selection in
the schools their kids
attend in cases where they want
other opportunities or to avoid
possible negatives associated
with the schools they were previously limited to due to conventional district boundaries.
Along with those new students comes some $5,088 in base
state funding to the destination
district, though actual student
spending in the state is more
than $17,000 in total. Even with
the prospect of additional state
funding for increased enrollment, area superintendents
say expanding enrollment is
a balancing act that has to be
thoroughly considered. Figures
vary depending on the degree to
which individual students are
classified as special needs.
Unless something changes, we are near capacity currently, said Crest USD 479
Superintendent Shane Walter.
The school board will utilize
the second semester to evaluate current capacity to set the
future capacity in May. This is
one of the items that all districts
must work through for the 24-25
Our biggest
challenge will be to
set capacity limits…

school year.
Walter said districts must
evaluate where they have room,
if any, then take applications
and fill slots per a lottery system.
Our biggest challenge will be
to set capacity limits, especially
at the Middle School and High
School, said Nathan Hinrichs,
superintendent of Central
Heights USD 288. Overall, I do
not expect this to change how
we operate. Central Heights has
always welcomed out-of-district
students.

Winter of 24 started fun, got nasty
Weather should warm, but
not expected to top freezing
mark for the rest of the week
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The years first dose of
nasty weather started with a warm, beautiful snowfall and a local snowman contest, and ended with a frigid temperature
drop and life-threating cold amid local
power outages.
Tuesday came with a winter covering that cancelled school and gave kids
time to perfect their snow creations in
a Snowman Contest sponsored by The
Anderson County Review. But the lateweek cold snap that plunged temperatures into the negative digits came with
a biting wind from the northwest and
some 200 residents in northern Anderson
County affected by a power outage.
Anderson
County
Emergency
Management Director Mark Locke said
volunteer firemen opened the Greeley
fire station as a warming location for
anyone who needed it, but that no one
from the Greeley area used the option.
Locke said Sunday he had not been
informed as to the cause of the outage in
the area. Power was restored Saturday
night.
County residents who have life supporting medical equipment affected by
outages should contact the county dispatch at (785) 448-6823. Locke said help
was available for those emergency situations.

GACC reminder: Money to be made from feds for local biz
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON,
D.C.
Anderson Countys designation as a HubZone back in
2009 entitles local businesses
to advantages in garnering
some government business
contracts, but local companies have to know the ins and
outs of qualifying as a federal
contractor in order to find out
if they can snag their own little piece of the federal budget.
Its not new information, but the Garnett Area
Chamber of Commerce recently made a point of reminding area businesses all of
Anderson County is a governor-designated HubZone.
Of several such zones in the
region Anderson is the only
one specifically added to the
program by the governors
office. The designation means
the government limits competition for certain contracts
to businesses in historically
underutilized business zones.
It also gives preferential consideration to those businesses
in full and open competition.
The federal government
buys an almost unimaginable
variety and volume of products and services, from military hardware to highway
maintenance equipment to
metal buildings to research,
education and classes, to
paper clips to motor fuel. In
order to garner some of those
sales, a local business has to
register properly in a massive federal database and then
essentially ask for the business.
Joining the HUBZone program makes your business
eligible to compete for the
programs set-aside contracts.
HUBZone-certified businesses
also get a 10% price evaluation preference in full and
open contract competitions.
HUBZone-certified businesses
can still compete for contract
awards under other socio-economic programs they qualify for. To qualify for the
HUBZone program, your business must:
Be a small business according to SBA size standards
Be at least 51% owned and
controlled by U.S. citizens,
a Community Development
Corporation, an agricultural cooperative, an Alaska
Native corporation, a Native
Hawaiian organization, or an
Indian tribe
Have its principal office

told the Capital Journal last
month he believed Republicans
could pass a voucher bill, but
he was unsure if conservative
lawmakers could muster a 2/3
majority in both house to override Governor Kellys assured
veto.
Legislators approved an
open enrollment law for this
year that makes school districts in the state develop plans
for the admission of other students from other public school
districts, but the law doesnt
extend to funding to be directed
to private schools.

tricts about 9 out of 10 in
the state already had policies
allowing out-of-district students to attend their schools.
The new law mandates that
districts determine how many
open slots they have in their
schools and publish that data
on their school websites by
May of this year. If a district
declares it has no open spots,
it will be subject to a confirmation by an independent audit
from the state department of
education.
Applications for enrollment
will run through June. Parents
can apply to more than one
school district. Districts are
obligated to inform parents by
July 15 if their kids got accepted.
The new law does not cover
or include a voucher system,
that typically allows a parent
to direct the amount of public
funding their child generates
and use it to defer part of private school tuition an issue
currently pressed by a number
of conservatives in Kansas.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 16, 2024
Veterans Your country still needs you
There is a value in American military culture that is ebbing away, and its indicated by
falling military recruitment numbers across
almost all services and the winnowing numbers
of active members of organizations like the
American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. Something must be done.
Only the cadre of the past 20-30 years younger
veterans can save the country from this threat.
The hard reality is that the fight isnt over, and
your country still needs you.
Our nation still needs the soul of a warrior
and that soul needs to be cultivated among those
who must one day take up arms in our defense.
The unfortunate reality is that in our modern,
supposedly civilized times, wars not only still
need to be fought they need to be won. Who
better than the nations veterans to educate and
promote the sense of service thats unique to the
U.S. military to younger generations of kids?
Most recent recruiting figures from the U.S.
military services point out the problem. Yearend 2023 figures for recruitment showed the
Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard off
their goals by a collective 41,000 recruits. Only
the Marine Corps and the Space Force the
smallest of the services made their recruiting
goals.
The Department of Defense recognizes the
problem and it notes some factual reasoning for
the decline in enlistment: fewer kids now have a
parent who served and lack that inculturation;
the couch potato era with many youngsters who
cant physically qualify for service; broader
economic opportunities and a general distrust of
institutions by Generation Z.
But theres also an element currently at play
that DOD cant address. The political social
agenda bilge coming out of the current presidential administration promoting diversity, equity
and inclusion over the priority of killing the
enemy not only detracts from recruiting and a
celebration of warrior culture, it emboldens our
enemies.
Many issues need to be addressed in reconstituting the American military and its prominence in American culture, but one thats been
sorely in need comes in the form of the countrys
traditional veterans organizations themselves.
Not only are those veterans from the 1950s, 60s
and 70s declining in numbers and their increasing age making them less physically capable of
engaging their communities in as many practical aspects as in years past, but their own organizations bear some blame in the decline of their
own ranks. Most VFW and Legion Halls havent
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
changed in 60 years metal buildings with few
if any windows, maybe a bar, old paneling and
Bingo once a week. Most havent kept up with
the times. Bingos great for the older set, but how
about a video game tournament?
Updating those veterans organizations is one
avenue to their own growth, but its got to be
accompanied by a new era of veterans who will
join those groups and who give a damn about
their role and their obligation to seed military
culture in their own communities. They have to
help develop a farm team for military recruits. If
they dont do it, who will?
Look at your local high school graduations in
recent years what percentage of those graduating seniors planned to join the military right
out of high school? The 2016 Graduating Class
of Free State High School in Lawrence included
some 400 seniors not one was recognized at the
graduation ceremony as heading into the U.S.
military services.
Depending on their leadership, public schools
can indeed be a solid influence to celebrate and
profligate military culture and encourage joining up but political persuasions typical among
the education establishment in most school districts are unlikely to foster such sentiment.
The upside to this challenge is that veterans
groups still carry a lot of clout among the mainstay of American political leadership. Politicians
know even though fewer have served, the bloc of
veterans still have generally common interests
and at least the older ones among them still
vote. By becoming active in VFW and Legion,
younger patriots have a viable platform to effectively move the needle not just on military
issues, but others affecting our nation as well.
There is strength in numbers, and there is
much to be done. ###

Remember when violent Democrat insurrectionist is mobs attacked and breached the White
House grounds, injuring dozens of Secret Service
and forcing them to evacuate the Trump family
to a bunker? Days Later Trump walked over to
the historic church burned by that mob. Then
Democrat operative General Milley claimed it
was inappropriate to have accompanied Trump.
But he had no problem later when Biden illegally used military personnel in uniform as
props for his lunatic and inflammatory rant
outside Philadelphias Independence Hall, calling
Republicans what he and the Democrats actually

Try something different in 24 how about a dry spell?
Dry January should be seriously considered to give your mind and body a break from
excessive alcohol use. Its a helpful exercise of
abstaining from alcohol for the entirety of the
first month of the year. For many, drinking
during the holidays and the weeks leading up
to it is commonplace.
Social drinking is widely accepted and
is often seen as a way to lighten moods,
bring people together, and manage stress.
Unfortunately, even social drinkers may
find themselves consuming too much alcohol
during the holidays.
The benefits of Dry January are extensive.

are more benefits than not.
Statistically, there are over 1,100 deaths
annually in Kansas attributable to alcohol.
Close to 20% of driving deaths in the state
involved alcohol.
Moreover, a Dry January helps you re-evaluate your drinking habits. Consider asking
yourself if you are using alcohol as a tool to
cope with stressful situations. Are you finding
yourself stressed without alcohol, or is alcohol impacting your personal and professional
life? If the answer is yes, try Dry January and
see the results yourself.
While taking these steps may seem challenging, there are practical tips you can use to
make Dry January a success.
Create a supporting environment where
you know you will succeed. Thoroughly purge
all the booze around you; either dump it, hide
it, or give it away. Moreover, find a suitable
non-alcoholic drink for social situations.
Recruit a friend or family member to participate and help avoid temptations. Not only
will you support one another, but you can also
plan activities that do not involve alcohol, and
you can speak about the successes and challenges of abstaining from alcohol.
Stay busy and active and take this time to
focus on your mental and physical well-being;
take advantage of having more energy and
sleeping better. Utilize Dry January apps that
will help you track your progress and find
practical ways to hold yourself accountable.
Ideally, this can be optimal to reflect on
your drinking habits. During the month, you
will begin to lose alcohol cravings, and you
may realize alcohol does not need to take up
such ample space in your life. If the benefits
make you feel great physically and mentally, consider continuing for another 30 days.
Embrace your new attitude to alcohol use.

BTW, anybody seen the United States Secretary of defense?
Anyone following how weak and passive
the U.S. has been in the face of provocations from our adversaries in the Middle East
might conclude that the secretary of defense
has gone missing.
And, at least for a few days recently, he
literally was.
In an age when its nearly impossible to go
off the grid, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin
managed it. He failed to notify the White
House and other key players that he was
hospitalized in the intensive care unit. This,
needless to say, is not an incidental detail
about his life — like, say, that he routinely does
his grocery shopping on Saturday afternoons,
or is taking the Kansas City Chiefs and giving
the points this weekend.
If the principal deputy assistant secretary
for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity went
missing, presumably only her personal assistant would notice, and the country would be
better for it.
The secretary of defense, in contrast, is
a rather consequential position in the U.S.
government. He is in charge of the largest and
most important part of the executive branch
and second in the chain of command only to
the president of the United States. He is central to any number of scenarios crucial to U.S.
national security, including the decision to
launch a nuclear strike.
If a U.S. destroyer gets hit in the Red Sea,
you dont want U.S. commanders and high
U.S. officials wondering where the SecDef is.
Although much remains unanswered, we
know that Austin had an elective procedure at
Walter Reed hospital on Dec. 22. Back home,
he experienced severe pain and went back to
the hospital on Jan. 1 and was put in intensive
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
care.
Somehow even Austins deputy secretary,
who picked up some of his duties, didnt learn
of his whereabouts until four days after his
hospitalization.
Loose lips may sink ships, but spectacularly dysfunctional lack of communication at the
top of the U.S. government is its own problem.
Just as no Harvard freshman could get
away with the plagiarism that Claudine Gay
engaged in, no Private first class could go
AWOL and expect to remain in the military.
The Pentagon says it couldnt notify other
VIPs like, you know, the president of the
United States, because Austins chief of staff
was also ill. Are we really supposed to believe
that no one else at the Pentagon has access to
a phone or email?
We are obviously not living through an
era of great bipartisanship, so it was notable
that the Austin absence resulted in a joint
statement from the Republican chairman and
the Democratic ranking member of the House
Armed Services Committee pointedly asking
for more information about the days in question.
The White House, naturally, immediately
made clear its complete trust and confidence
in Secretary Austin.
In fairness, once someone has presided
over the pullout of Afghanistan without getting fired, its hard to cashier him for anything short of losing some other county in
humiliating fashion.
This fiasco could simply be Austins own
unbelievable personal lapse. But its hard not
to see the controversy in the context of an
administration that, when it comes to national security, cares as much about fashionable
ideological fixations — from DEI to the climate
— than the essentials involved in maintaining
a highly capable war-fighting machine.
And the most important lack of transparency about health is happening before our eyes.
It doesnt involve any cabinet official, but the
commander-in-chief himself. We are told that
Joe Biden is robust and energetic, when he is
increasingly rickety and, seemingly, easily
confused. We can be sure if the president gets
worse, the White House — adopting the Austin
policy — will do everything in its power to hide
the ball.
Meanwhile, weve conducted a real-time
experiment regarding Biden foreign policy.
With a war on in Gaza and Iranian proxies attacking U.S. interests throughout the
Middle East, the secretary of defense disappeared, and it didnt matter.

because she posted on Facebook shes been at
work two days in a row now. Lets just hope it
sticks.
Hopefully in Garnett we can get a warming
station for the homeless here. At least quickly
because its going to be so dang cold. People
just want to ignore them, but theres a lot of
homeless people in the cold tonight and its
below zero.
I thank God every day for establishing me as
one of his deplorables and calling me to fight
the destructionists on the left who in the Bible
are referred to as Satans army. The good news
is we know how this turns out. Good always
wins over evil.
Once again, we are being reminded that the
most valuable linemen are not in the NFL.
They are the ones that climb up poles and
crawl into lift baskets in frigid temperatures
to maintain and restore our lifestyles. Thanks
to all the fine folks who go to great heights to
provide comfort for the rest of us.
When do we get a congressional hearing and
hear from Pelosi, Schiff and Liz Cheney about
what really happened on January 6? Really
anxious to see that myself.

More 2023 finds – Any ideas what the bell is from?
Looking out our front window, it looks like old man winter has arrived, seeing all the
snowflakes coming down. Boy,
am I ever thankful I have a few
more photos of my 2023 finds to
share with you. Looking at my
last years calendar, I was able
to get several days in digging
during January & February
but Im sure uncertain about
this year. Im not going to complain too much, as we still need
more moisture to fill streams,
ponds and lakes.

Pictured here are a 1940-S

and gold keep avoiding me.
#3 – How many of you recognize this ink pen nib? This
type of ink pen preceded the
old fountain pens. You had to
continually dip this pen into
an ink bottle or ink well. I
remember these from the early

30 years ago…(Nov 23, 1993)
A public hearing will be
conducted at 7 PM Tuesday at
the Community Building at the
North Lake Park for the Kansas
Corperation
Commission
regarding United Telephone.
Telephone customers will be
given the opportunity to ask
questions from the United
Telephone officials and to testify before the commission concerning the phone companys
quality of service. The KCC officials say the commission had
received numerous complaints
about the telephone companys
service. January 25 is the last
day to file for the opening on
the Garnett City Commissions,
according to County Clerk
Phyllis Nolan. Candidates
must file at City Hall. The election to fill the expiring term
of City Commissioner Mike
Norman will be held April 5.
Due to a city policy, there will
be no primary election for the
city commission seat. The seat,
which will be left vacant by the
resignation of commissioner
Dan Benjamin will be filled by
appointment, according to the
state election laws. Benjamin
resigned from the city commission to avoid a conflict of
interest when he was named
director of the Development
Corporation of Anderson
County.
20 years ago…(Nov 18, 2003)
Allegiance Communications
announced plans recently to purchase Garnetts
cable operation from Cox
Communications. About 54,000
cable subscribers will be affected by the sale. Allegiance CEO
Ben Hooks said that estab-
lishing high-speed Internet
cable service would be one of
the companys top priorities.
Hooks said the service would
retail for around $40 per month
and most likely would offer
different tiers for pricing and
packages. Lindy Foltz and
John Buckman were crowned
queen and king of ACHSs
Winter Homecoming. A former
Anderson County High School
student filed a $200,000 lawsuit against the school district
saying that a 2002 woodshop
accident in which some of his
fingers were partially severed
could have been prevented.
The former student claims he
still suffers pain and has difficulty using his hand after he
was injured by a saw during
his junior year. The incident
happened when a safety guard
from the shops only table saw
had been removed and made
the equipment unsafe to operate.
10 years ago…(Nov 19, 2013)
Stolen property is not
always recovered during resolution, but for six area residents it is a happier conclusion. The burglary cases were
forwarded to County Attorney
Brandon Jones to decide what
charges will be filed. Following
a search warrant allowing officers to search a home in the 900
block of West Fourth Avenue
in Garnett, stolen property was
in the home. In many cases,
property cannot be returned
because it has been sold or
disposed of or ownership cannot be confirmed definitively.
In this case, the stolen items
were unique, such as arrowheads and Native American
artifacts that made it easier
to identify the proper owner.
Unemployment dropped to
4.8 percent in November 2013,
the lowest level since the 2008
economic crisis. In Anderson
County 209 reported being out
of work from the labor force of
4,317. This trend falls comparably to the state-wide figures
of 5.1 percent down from 5.6
percent.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, January 16, 2024
Dare to step out of the crowd!
In Isaiah 59:11-15 the prophet
Isaiah summarizes the sins of
the people as follows. We look
for justice, but find none; for
deliverance, but it is far away.
For our offenses are many in
your sight, and our sins testify
against us. Our offenses are
ever with us, and we acknowledge our iniquities: rebellion
and treachery against the lord,
turning our backs on our God,
fomenting oppression and
revolt, uttering lies our hearts
have conceived. So justice is
driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth
has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter. Truth
is no where to be found and
whoever shuns evil becomes a
prey. The Lord looked and was
displeased. Isaiah ministry
covered 60 years between 740680 B.C.
Isnt it striking that we
could read this same type of
statement in a book or article today, concerning our
current state some 2500 -2600
years later. Justice today is as
much about perception as it is
truth. We look with anticipation to the elections this year
thinking our party can turn the
tide. Rebellion and treachery
have been taken to a new level.
These acts gain the attention of
the media and in many instances are staged. People are
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
oppressed because of race, religion or beliefs. There seems
to be no middle ground just
deliberate oppression to benefit the few who hold power.
The difference between right
and wrong has been blurred
to allow for individuals to satisfy their greed and lust. It is
here where we went wrong.
Even the most depraved person
has a conscience which convicts them of willful wrong.
Tolerance cannot allow that
type of behavior.
Isaiah was correct when he
said, justice is driven back,
and righteousness stands at a
distance: truth has stumbled
in the streets, honesty cannot
enter. Many would say it is
too late. I dont believe that is
true. So what can we do? We
can embrace the truth, and act
on the truth we know. We can
dare to step out of the crowd. It
is there we find the peace we so
desire.

Colony Christian Chuch – The Journey Begins
Pastor Chase Riebel's message "The Journey Begins"
was a road map showing how
to go out and make disciples,
inviting others to go on the
Christian journey as detailed
in John 1:35-46. Pastor Chase
quoted Mark Twain who said,
"The two most important days
in your life are the day you are
born and the day you find out
why."
Noah Gordon gave communion meditation from
Luke 9:23. Noah talked about
National Quitter's Day on Jan.
12th, when most people give
up on New Years resolutions
but Jesus asks us to take up
our cross daily and never quit
focusing on the two greatest
commandments, loving God
and loving our neighbor.
Lexy and Anna Riebel were
the worship team joined by Ben
Prasko on the Peruvian cajon.
Songs were "What a Friend
We Have in Jesus", "Sweet By
and By", "There is Power in
the Blood" and "O Come to the
Alter".

AC grapplers compete in Bulldog Classic in Basehor
BASEHOR – Annually ACHS
head coach Jeremey McAdam
likes to send his top wrestlers to the Bulldog Classic in
Basehor, which is one of the
toughest tournaments in the
area, to give his guys a barometer at the midpoint of the season.
Masten Wright (157) passed
the test, finishing 3rd over the
2-day tournament, by winning
5 of his 6 matches, the lone
defeat to Easton Schletbaum of
ACCHS-Effingham in the semifinals.
The trio of AJ Schaffer (150),
Zach Schaffer (138) and Owen
Thompson (126) each only won
one match in the tournament
but earned valuable experience
that will help them get better as
the season progresses.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 1-16-2024 / DANE HICKS
ACs Anthony Hawkins meets some opposition under the basket Friday night from Santa Fe Trails
Jalen Smith in the Bulldogs/Chargers matchup in Garnett. After a tight first half Anderson County
ended up falling 54-37 to SFT.
AC girls drop first game of the season
GARNETT – The previously
unbeaten Anderson County
Lady Bulldogs (7-1) knew they
had their work cut out for them
on Friday night as they hosted 7th ranked Santa Fe Trail
(6-1) and SFT pulled away after
trailing midway through the
second quarter for a 49-38 victory.
Santa Fe Trail took an early
10-6 after the opening quarter.
It was a back and forth second
period which briefly saw the
AC Bulldogs lead by as much
as 6 points before SFT rallied to
take the lead back at halftime,
27-22.
The visiting team continued
to hold off any sort of rally by
the Bulldogs, having a 14-8 edge
in the third quarter to take control 41-30 heading into the final
period.
That 11-point difference
would hold up as the final
buzzer sounded as both teams
scored 8 points in the fourth.
One of the key differences in
the game was SFT outgained
the Bulldogs 18-0 in transition
points.
Kylie Disbrow led the team
with 17 points, 6 rebounds and
6 blocks on the night.
Caitlyn Foltz added 11 points
to go along with her team high
8 rebounds.
Rilyn Sommer chipped in
with 7 points and 6 rebounds.
The only other points were
scored by Alexis Overstreet as
she tallied 3 points and also had
3 steals.
