That flying squirrel did not break my new refrigerator. No way. But due to some of my previous run-ins with nature’s creatures, maybe you could forgive me for taking a minute to wonder.

Malakoff Tigers to host Kerens Friday in Soap Scrimmage

The Malakoff Tigers will host their annual soap scrimmage 6 p.m. this Friday against Kerens.

“We buy detergent throughout the year, but when you’re doing laundry for 70 – 75 kids it takes a lot of soap,” Coach Jamie Driskell told HCN during our recent podcast.

There will be no charge to attend the scrimmage, but Malakoff is asking fans to bring some bar soap or detergent to help out the athletic program.
