Grand Valley's Sound Review had the privilege of sharing music and joy at local nursing homes, and it was truly a heart-warming experience. Our day started at Eagle Point, then off to Champion Estates, and finally Clearview Lantern. Music has such a powerful way of connecting generations, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to bring comfort, memories, and smiles to these wonderful residents.
Thank you to the kindergarten class for stopping by the Board of Education office to sing Christmas carols. Your thoughtful visit and beautiful singing were greatly appreciated and brought much joy to the season! ❤️🎄💚

The Grand Valley boys basketball team took its first loss of the season this past week, but bounced back in fine fashion with a win over rival Pymatuning Valley a few days later.
After Fairport defeated the Mustangs, 82-58, Coach Justin Turk's team got its momentum back with a 63-53 win over the visiting Lakers in a game that also doubled as hall-of-fame night where four people were introduced into the Grand Valley Athletic Hall of Fame.
"Certainly, anytime you beat PV it's a good win, whether it's by 20 or by one," Turk said. "We came out with a good mindset. We got out to an 18-1 lead and got the home crowd into it. I was certainly happy about that."
The Mustangs built a 20-point lead early in the third quarter only to see the Lakers come storming back and cut the margin to four points late in the game. But the Mustangs made clutch free throws and shots down the stretch to win by 10.
Carter Turk led all scorers with 26, while Evan Skrtic had 10. Solly Schultz had nine.
"We are working through it," Coach Turk said. "Guys are in different roles than last year. We are still a pretty young team. You want to be in those pressure situations so you can learn and grow from it. I'm thankful we made enough plays down the stretch."
The win helped rinse a sour taste out of the Mustangs' mouth aver an 82-58 loss to Fairport earlier in the week. It was a 39-39 game at the half, but the Skippers pulled away by outscoring the Mustangs, 43-19, after intermission.
Schultz led GV with 18, Skrtic had 12 and Turk 10 to lead the Mustangs.
"People who might not know anything about Fairport, they're going to go on and win at least 20 games this year," Turk said. "We thought we'd come out ahead in that one, but we didn't hang our heads and we proved that (against PV) on Friday night."
Grand Valley is now 3-1 this season. The Mustangs travel to Mathews on Tuesday, host Cardinal on Friday and play at Smithville on Saturday. The game against Smithville is a biggie for GV, the coach said.
"We were looking to up our schedule this year," Turk said. "They were 22-4 last year and the top team in our district. We saw they were looking for a game so I was like, 'Yeah, we'll come to your place.' It'll be a good game for us."

It took four games, but somebody finally scored a point in the second quarter against the Grand Valley girls basketball team.
After the Mustangs held three straight teams scoreless in the second quarter this season, Pymatuning Valley finally broke through and scored 16 points in the second frame against GV on Thursday. It didn't matter because the Mustangs sill prevailed, 53-38, to improve their record to 4-0 this season.
"It's always big to beat PV, obviously," coach Zach Sirrine said. "It's a league game. It's good to have an ugly win over a pretty loss. I thought we really turned it on in the second half.
It was a 34-31 GV lead in the third quarter when shots finally started to fall. Putting the ball in the hoop allowed the Mustangs to get into their full-court press, which proved to be PV's downfall. From that point on, the Mustangs outscored the Lakers, 19-7, in the fourth frame.
"We were able to get up in our defenses and press them when we hit a couple of buckets," Sirrine said. "We were able to get out and run instead of playing a slow-down, halfcourt grind-it-out type of game."
Jocelyn Cozad scored eight of her nine points in the fourth quarter. Reese Nims scored five during that run, including a three-pointer. In all, Cloe Turk's 14 led the team as the only Mustang in double figures, though seven different players hit the scoring column for the home team.
Earlier in the week, the Mustangs throttled Fairport, 56-17. GV held a 36-5 lead at the half and cruised from there. Eight Mustangs got into the scoring column that night, with Turk's 12 and Riley Rowland's 10 leading the way. Sophia Thirion's 10 gave GV three double-digit scorers.
The Mustangs have a busy week on tap, hosting Mathews on Monday and Cardinal on Thursday before heading to Indiana to play Maplewood on Saturday at Hoosier Gym - the location of the movie "Hoosiers." Sirrien laughed when asked how many players on his team have seen or know of the 1986 classic starring Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper.
"I'd put the betting line at 1 1/2 and I'd probably take the under," he said with a chuckle. "The game is an awesome opportunity. I'm excited about that. The girls are probably more excited about a weekend away to hang out and build morale. I'm the one more excited to play on that floor. Half of them just think we're playing a game in Indiana."
