MBU students talk about their plans for Thanksgiving. (In order from start) Tim Koppel will be watching football, Emily Morton will be going to see family and Jim DuBois will be eating turkey. Erick Ocampo’s plans are pending soccer outcomes, and Chris Buzzell will be eating a meal with his basketball team.
The MBU baseball team finished up its fall season with a Spartan’s World Series against each other last week. The Spartan baseball team was divided up into two teams, blue and grey, and the Spartans played a five-game series to see who was the better of the two teams.
The old Crystal City Sand Mines have made some enormous caves that have now been turned into a bar, restaurant, multiple performance stages, boat barge, 18-hole disc golf course and over 15 volleyball courts.
