MIDDLEBURY — The best news to come out of a tough home loss for the Northridge High School girls basketball team may be that Lily Scholl was wearing a smile following it. Scholl, the senior star for the Raiders, left the game with 35 seconds to play after going down and grabbing her left leg.

Sturgis schools weigh new bond after May rejection

STURGIS, MI – A three-part bond proposal to fund upgrades throughout the Sturgis Public Schools campus is being examined for consideration next year, months after a similar, $98 million request was nixed by voters.

All told, the proposal in development would see a millage rate of about 6.95 mills. The matter is still in the discussion phase, but will need to be finalized by January to make deadline for a spring ballot measure, district officials said.
