Blessings are all around us!
Late in the afternoon on Friday, Aug. 29, I received the phone call no administrator or family member ever wants to receive. This is when I learned that Mayville State’s men’s and women’s golf teams were involved in a vehicle crash on I-94 east of Bismarck at about 5:45 p.m. The teams were traveling in two vehicles and were on their way back to campus from a meet in Bismarck. Six student athletes and a member of the staff were in the one vehicle that was involved in the crash.
