Traveling to the United States just got a little trickier.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced that all air passengers who hope to enter the US will have to get a negative COVID-19 test first. This new rule starts on Jan. 26.

Bluffton Family Recreation will host fourth, fifth and sixth grade boys' and girls' youth basketball tournaments this winter, according to Amy Byers, BFR sports coordinator.
Unlike past years, BFR is unable to rent the school for additional courts, so the tournaments are reformatted with all games at BFR.
The tournament will have a two-game guarantee. There will be two 10-minute halves with the clock stopping in the last minute of each half. Shooting fouls will be a point and a shot.
There are six spots available in each division and the team fee is $75.
