Most of us didn't know what we were going to be when we grew up at five years old, but most of us aren't Ben Mauk. Ben started loving football from the sidelines watching his father coach at a high school in Lima, Ohio. Eventually he became a ball boy, then a team manager, then a football player himself.

"After high school, Ben played at Wake Forest University before finishing his career and earning his master's degree at the University of Cincinnati. Coaching was a natural next step. He began in Ohio, then spent a decade at Glendale High School in Springfield, Missouri, before coming to Monett."

Lamar, Seneca and Carthage football teams have advanced to play for District titles with hopes of keeping their state championship dreams alive and deeper post-season pushes into early December.

“I’m incredibly proud of this team,” said Lamar Tigers Head Coach Jared Beshore. “They’ve shown what it means to be coachable, resilient and selfless. We’ve battled adversity at different points, and every time, these kids chose to work harder, lean on each other and represent Lamar with pride."

"For many families, Thanksgiving is about gathering around a table and sharing a meal. For some veterans in Southwest Missouri, that meal might not be possible without a little help. OurVeteransFirst, a nonprofit based in Joplin, is making sure those who served do not go without during the holiday season."

OurVeteransFirst began their Thanksgiving Basket Giveaway in 2023 and they provided 11 baskets to veterans in need. In 2024, they provided 36 baskets and they are expecting to double that number this year.

Let's give a big shoutout to this week's Sports Standout, Lizzie Smith!

Seventeen-year-old Lizzie Smith is in her senior year at Monett High School.

"The variety of shots I've learned has helped me be successful. Tennis is a game of repetition, so it takes a lot of practice to become a good player. Winning is a big motivator for me," said Lizzie.

Rachel Young and her husband were returning home after her husband finished his military tour of duty. Rachel decided to pursue her dream job and was hired on as a full-time firefighter with Battlefield Fire Protection District (Greene County, Missouri).

"Three months into my new position, I was shot while on duty during a morning run. It was unprovoked. The day of this incident is also my wedding anniversary. It's not a happy and solemn day to celebrate," said Rachel.

Between the heartbreaking loss of her dream job and medical debts piling up, Rachel found herself in a bout of depression. After two years of struggling to leave her bed, Rachel found the desire to move her body with support from her husband, Chris, and her faith in God.

"Teach your kids and grandkids to be thankful for our veterans. I know I'm asking a lot but think about what all those veterans sacrificed for you and your family. Your life would be much different if they had not."

"We started out just cleaning trash cans in our neighborhoods. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and it seemed like we were being efficient at it. Our neighbors told us this was a great idea, so we started trying to promote ourselves," said Pheonix Rhatigan, one of the four entrepreneurial-minded students behind 417 Can Cleaners.
