Veterans of Vietnam and World War II in my thoughts

By Linda Waggener

In just one week, the Vietnam War and the men and women it affected stayed in my thoughts. I'd had the privilege of sharing lunch at the Black Stallion with fellow Metcalfe County High School graduates of 1966, two of whom were Veterans of that war.

By Trey Stephens, published in the UofL McConnell Center blog
where he is a class of 2028 Political Science major


When you begin thinking about planning a trip, there are no doubt several lush, tropical, and popular destinations that begin to fill your mind. Perhaps places like the Grand Canyon, New York City, Paris, Miami, Rome, and a whole host of others scattered across the vast world.

However, very seldom are many people going to consider a little capital city nestled in the south, a place called Little Rock, Arkansas as a travel destination. For most, Little Rock is a pass through to Texas at best, but in my humble opinion, most are missing out on a hidden gem in that regard.

I stumbled upon Little Rock (or I guess stumbled into Little Rock), completely by accident.

Volleyball: LWC wins MSC Tournament

Bowling Green, KY - When Jacob Hepp spoke about expectations during the preseason, he mentioned the program's "storied past," and what it will take "to see Blue Raider volleyball return to national prominence." The first-year head coach saw his team take a huge step in the right direction on Saturday afternoon.

(RV) Lindsey Wilson defeated (RV) Cumberlands (KY), 3-1 to claim the Mid-South Conference women's volleyball tournament championship for the first time since 2021 and the tenth time overall. The Blue Raiders bested the Patriots across the stat sheet, including total kills - 54-51 - digs - 75-67 - aces, - 10-5 - and blocks - 8-3.

Lindsey Wilson earns the Mid-South's automatic berth into the NAIA National Tournament and will learn its opening round opponent at NoonCT on Monday, November 18, 2024.
