Flowers that are part of this landscaping arrangement at a Freeman home soak up the Saturday morning sun — and increasing heat. Temperatures are expected to climb beginning today and continuing into next week, with highs in the triple digits expected Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. And with no rain in the immediate forecast, watering will become common.

Freeman/Marion/Freeman Academy put up 50 points in the first half by scoring on every possession and the secondary players saw plenty of reps in the second half as the Phoenix opened their 2023 season with a 56-19 rout of Burke Friday night, Aug. 18 in Freeman. Only two big plays by Cougars — a kickoff return for a touchdown and a long touchdown pass — prevented the game from being over at halftime. More to come when final statistics are turned in.
