Pine Plains High School’s boys basketball team crossed the state line Tuesday, Dec. 9, to play a scrimmage against Housatonic Valley Regional High School. The non-league preseason game gave both sides an opportunity to run the court ahead of the 2025-26 varsity season. Pine Plains got off to a slow start against HVRHS but found a rhythm toward the end. The momentum came too little too late and ultimately HVRHS won 60-22. The first regular season game for the Bombers was scheduled against Millbrook High School Friday, Dec. 12.

Fast fashion has made it possible to buy the latest trend almost as quickly as it appears on social media. The environmental cost, however, is anything but fleeting.
