LINCOLN COUNTY—The total population of the United States grew by 22.7 million, or 7.4%, between 2010 and 2020, according to census data. However, that growth rate didn’t hold in Lincoln County. Census comparisons between 2010 and 2020 indicate the county had a slim amount of growth from 10,570 to 10,876. Some areas of the county grew a significant percentage compared to that 307 population growth number, while others had striking decreases. Still others have nearly the same number of residents as 2010. For the purpose of thi...

DAVENPORT-The statewide process of redistricting has been confusing, bizarre and unconventional. Not so at the county level, where the proposed commissioner redistricting maps that occur every 10 years with the advent of new census data indicates just one change. West Larene and its 100 citizens would shift from Commissioner District No. 3, which is Rob Coffman's district, to Scott Hutsell's Commissioner District No. 2. The change was brought before a public hearing at the...
DAVENPORT—Winterfest is back this year after a one-year COVID-19-created hiatus, and rival high schools Davenport and Reardan are competing for the coveted “Golden Plunger” award this week after a years-long hiatus.

DAVENPORT-It appears whether the sport is football or basketball, Davenport and Liberty are destined for heart-pounding games this school year.

A combined 47 points from junior leaders Tennessee Rainwater and Brenick Soliday in the second half and overtime weren't enough for Davenport Tuesday, which faced Liberty's own dynamic duo of Ethan...
REARDAN – Four seconds. That's what was left on the clock when the Reardan boys pulled ahead of the Tekoa-Rosalia Timberwolves in a basketball matchup Friday night, Dec. 3. Reardan won the non-league game, 64-62, in the closing seconds. The Class 1B Timberwolves (1-1) led the entire second half, until Reardan junior forward Tristo McCrea ducked under the defense for a 2-point shot inside the key with just 4.2 seconds remaining in the game. That shot lifted Reardan to its f...
DAVENPORT-The Liberty Lancer girls are the No. 5 ranked 2B team in the state, and sophomore point guard Teagan Colvin has a "90" rating out of 100 on ESPN.com.

The Lancers jumped out to a quick 16-4 lead after a quarter, and built that lead to 31-10 at halftime. Davenport scored first in the second half, but Liberty led 51-19 afte...
