BENTON - On April 6, voters of the Kelly R-4 and Scott County Central R-5 school Districts will be asked to determine the fate of four families. These families all have purchased land and homes centrally located between Morley and Benton on County Road 408. All were under the assumption they were living in the Kelly School District. However, part of the road is in the Kelly School District, while another part is not.

EAST PRAIRIE - No close games for these young East Prairie Eagles. Coach Rick Johnson's crew evened its record at 1-1 with a 16-1 thrashing of Delta Wednesday. The Eagles dropped their opener against Caruthersville earlier, 11-1.
