Mere minutes after their unreal 73-14 Class 5A-Division I state semifinal win Friday evening against Corpus Christi Flour Bluff, Paetow players hardly broke a smile.

The Biden administration is sending up to $400 million in additional military aid to Ukraine, including a variety of munitions for advanced air defense systems and a number of small, surveillance Hornet drones.

"The WSDA is not selling any Asian giant hornet specimens,'' spokesman Karla Salp said in response to questions from the public. Another 85 Asian giant hornets in the nest were vacuumed into a special container and died. WSDA will continue setting traps through at least November in hopes of catching any more Asian giant hornets still in Whatcom County. A small group of Asian giant hornets can kill an entire honey bee hive in a matter of hours. Asian giant hornets can deliver painful stings to people and spit venom.

Sven Spichiger, Washington State Department of Agriculture managing entomologist, displays a canister of Asian giant hornets vacuumed from a nest in a tree behind him Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020, in Blaine, Wash. Scientists in Washington state discovered the first nest earlier in the week of so-called murder hornets in the United States and worked to wipe it out Saturday morning to protect native honeybees. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)(AP) – Heavily protected crews in Washington state worked Saturday to destroy the first nest of so-called murder hornets discovered in the United States. The real threat from Asian giant hornets — which are 2 inches (5 centimeters) long — is their devastating attacks on honeybees, which are already under siege from problems like mites, diseases, pesticides and loss of food. Washington state and the Canadian province of British Columbia are the only places the hornets have been found on the continent. The nest was found after the state Agriculture Department trapped some hornets this week and used dental floss to attach radio trackers to some of them.

The Hornets of Hardin are led by coach Larry Haynes and are the second smallest school in District 10-3A-DI. Can Hardin create some buzz around the nest in 2020? Potetz combined for 1,800 yards and 14 scores last season and turns around and is the team's best DB. Dickey and Yeo flip to LBs on defense while Caden Elmore is the team's best DB with four INTs in 2019. The Hornets are going to need to shock the likes of Tarkington and Woodville to sneak into the postseason.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Michael Jordan helped build the Chicago Bulls into a winner as a player. Jordan took questions from players and spoke directly about the difference between what it takes to win in the regular season and the playoffs. Hornets center Cody Zeller said that was an important message for a young team to hear. Hornets guard Terry Rozier joked that after watching the Last Dance he probably would have got into a few fistfights with Jordan, too. One thing with being teammates with guys in this league is you have to learn who they are first.

Now we have giant hornets with freakish eyes and a venomous sting to add to this year's list of worries. For the first time, Asian giant hornets have been spotted in the United States, specifically in Washington state, scientists say. Scientists don't know how these giant hornets native to Asia ended up in Washington state. Washington state agricultural officials are asking beekeepers and residents to report any sightings of the giant hornets. The giant hornets especially target bees between late summer and the fall.
