Huskies lose close battle

The Elk Point-Jefferson Huskies put up a good fight against Dell Rapids, Aug. 30. They battled the Quarriers defeating them 22-25 in the first two sets of the game and were looking for the same outcome in the third to end. However, that isn’t how the ball was landing. The Huskies took their first loss of the season in 5 sets: 25-22; 25-22; 18-25; 17-25; 5-15.

Remember hot summer days as a child and getting to have ice cream – especially a sundae cone? The best part, besides the ice cream of course, was at the very bottom of the cone there was a bunch of chocolate. That’s the idea where Muddy Bites came from – the best part of a sundae cone.
