Annual fall activities are occurring, along with some brand new ones. I noticed somewhere that there is an Oktoberfest in Aberdeen again this year. But guess what — it will actually be on November 5 in th...

Then Kaylin Onkens's kill provided the set point in set number two. The third set and match point would then be a kill by Gracie...
