Reminder to Coaches and Contributors The Sentinel-Times respectfully asks high school and junior high basketball and wrestling coaches throughout Rooks County to submit completed box scores and match results so they may be printed for our readers. Results should be submitted by Sunday at 5:00 p.m., although earlier submissions are always appreciated.

Due to our small staff, we are unable to attend every event. Community members who enjoy taking photos at sporting or other local events are encouraged to share a few images with us.

Photo contributors will be credited when images are published.

Please note that the number of pages printed each week depends largely on advertising, so we cannot guarantee all submitted photos will appear in print. Photos should include the names of those pictured, along with the date, location, and event.

Results and photos may be emailed to sentineltimesnews@ gmail. com or slschneider10@hotmail.com.

Lastly

We thank everyone in advance for their cooperation and look forward to seeing many of you throughout 2026.
