The early season woes have been shed and Many were performing on all cylinders during their home game against the Avoyelles Mustangs on October 18 which they soundly won 35-14.

Although Many lost the coin toss, they got their preferred result, with the defense taking the field first. However, Avoyelles was fired up and put a quick eight points on the board after several quick plays.

Many tried to answer quickly, but a holding penalty brought a huge run for a touchdown by Shamarion Wiseman back. It wouldn’t be until the second quarter when Many would get their first touchdown, leaving Avoyelles ahead 8-7. Many would quickly score again, putting them up 14-8 with 7:42 left in the second quarter. By halftime, they would be up 21-8.

In today’s paper starting on Page 14 you’ll find a list of Sabine Parish residents owed money by the state of Louisiana.

The state currently has millions of dollars it wants to return to its rightful owners, but first it has to locate those to whom money is owed, according to State Treasurer John M. Schroder Sr.

The list in today’s paper shows Sabine Parish residents who have unclaimed property of various types on record in the state Treasurer’s office. Businesses from all over the country are required by law to report unclaimed property to the Treasury each year. Sometimes, the address the company has on record is no longer correct. Funds may be in the form of cash, stocks, bonds, securities, insurance benefits or other. The assets are reported in the name and last known address of the owner(s).

Ian Goff will arrive in Many, on Friday, October 25 as part of his 2,000-mile bicycle ride across the United States.

His journey began at Niagara Falls, New York, on the Canadian border October 6, and he plans to arrive at the Mexican border in Del Rio, Texas on November 2.

The reason he has made this personal challenge a public event—to help remember and restore the victims of the shooting which occurred at Sutherland Springs Baptist Church nearly two years ago --is as impressive as his 28-day, 2,000-mile journey. With his bicycle trek across the nation, Goff has chosen to honor and remember the individuals who lost their lives in the deadliest mass shooting in the history of Texas.
