If you're looking for a soccer game today, Berean Academy has one with a state title on the line. The team edged Heritage Christian Academy in overtime Thursday and now plays Rose Hill, the Newton Kansan reported.

Friesen scored two goals, and Berean spent most of the game in a defensive posture, the Newton Kansan said. We suggest checking the kickoff time and site before you head out, since the reports we have don't list them.

I am looking for a small female dog as a new best friend.

“My Yorkie passed in June from cancer and I’ve been devastated without her. My physical limitations keep me looking for smaller dogs. Would love another Yorkie but won’t buy from puppy mills or improper breeders. Can anyone offer some help? I live alone and have fully fenced back yard for room to play. I’m very lonely!”

The Wrap

A memorial can turn into a canvas. Liberty's Beacon transforms the National WWI Museum and Memorial into a canvas of light, sound and motion, created to celebrate the museum's 100th anniversary and the nation's 250th. It lights up the Southeast Lawn tonight from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. The forecast calls for a high of 50, a low of 37 and partly cloudy skies, so bring a jacket.
