RECOLLECTIONS OF CHRISTMASES IN THE 1950s AND 1960s by Sarah Koester Morrison When cousin Jane (Julia King Muller), her brother, my brothers, and I were growing

Valley Heights picked up an impressive 62-54 win over Centralia on Friday night, powered by 29 points from winter feature athlete Ava Smith ( #25). Junior Lindsay Gray chipped in 13 points, while senior feature athlete Mia Vermetten ( #31) and senior Josie Parker each added seven in the victory. The Mustangs improved to 4-1 on the season and will face Thayer Central (Neb.) tonight in the KS/NE Holiday Showcase.

Centralia, now with two early-season losses, has faced a challenging schedule to open the year. The Panthers were led by Josie Haverkamp’s 18 points and 12 from Hayden Kramer in Friday’s setback.

Prior to losses against Valley Heights and 3A power Silver Lake on Dec. 12, Centralia had not been beaten since March 2024, coming off an unbeaten run to the 1A-I state championship. Their 58-47 loss to Silver Lake marked the closest game the Eagles played before the break, as Silver Lake also recorded dominant wins over tough 4A and 5A opponents at the Flurry on Flush tournament.

Make no mistake, the demanding early schedule has Centralia’s experienced squad well prepared for a strong second-half run.

Gradually warming temperatures are expected for the next few days with the potential for record-breaking warmth Christmas Day. While this won't lead to any chances for snow to give us a white Christmas, we could have some fog to contend with Tuesday morning, so that will be something to keep an eye on for those planning to travel.

Gayla is one of Marysville’s steady supporters — the kind of person who strengthens community life by being present. In a small town, “showing up” isn’t a small thing: it’s how events gain energy, how volunteers feel supported and how local traditions keep their footing year after year. Gayla brings that kind of consistency to Marysville. Her support is steady — you can count on her.
