Have you heard this ‘flying bull’ story?

“Hey, diddle, diddle,    The cat and the fiddle,    The cow jumped over the moon ….”    How many times have you heard those Mother Goose lines?    Plenty, I bet.    But did you hear about the Hazlehurst bull that “flew” over the fence?    Did what?

Cheers and jeers

THUMBS UP to Habersham Central’s basketball programs, which are having success this season.    The Raider boys knocked off Shiloh on Tuesday night, a previously undefeated team in the region that beat them on their floor earlier this season.
