The Emmet City Council will meet at its regular monthly meeting Wednesday, December 9, at city hall. The basketball senior boys and girls and junior boys and girls have been steadily working hard since October 20 when they played their first home game. With many more games left I'll try to get more update on the games. Pee wee basketball will be heading up soon as well. I hope you are one who is supporting your school and children whether they play ball or not. Remember, it is your school and we are all on the same team.
