Seniors are really close to reaching their $50,000 goal
The Malta Senior Citizens are about to become property owners.
The local senior organization is within $1,000 of raising the $50,000 it needs to purchase the Senior Center which it has been leasing from local businessman Larry Matthews. The organization launched the fund drive about a month ago.
Malta Reigns!
Malta ended an almost unbelievable season last Saturday with its fourth Class B Championship in a 61-59 thriller over Fairfield at the Metra in Billings.
Malta's 25-1 season will always be remembered not only because of the impressive play of the Mustangs, but also off-the-court events surrounding the '95-96 season.
The Mustangs had to endure the loss of their beloved home court in the Christmas Eve fire, and the obvious snake-pit atmosphere and advantage it provided.
Other distractions related to the fire included practicing at three different sites, playing home games at Saco and Dodson and being the subject of an ESPN feature on "Scholastic Sports America."
