• Monday Roundup: Lady Cats sink threes and crash glass in triumph over South Iron (dailyjournalonline.com) — Festus girls basketball stayed unbeaten at 6-0 with a 44-32 home win over Central, strengthening their bid for the top seed in the Central Christmas Tournament. Another Festus game saw Jefferson’s girls roll past West County 73-61, as several local players posted big scoring nights in a busy slate of regional hoops and wrestling action. 
• Hunters asked to spread the bounty of their success through Share the Harvest program (mycnews.com) — Hunters in and around Festus can donate whole deer at John’s Butcher Shoppe, where processing fees are largely covered so the venison can go to families in need. Through Missouri’s Share the Harvest program and Operation Food Search, donated deer become affordable, high-demand protein for local food outlets across Jefferson County and the St. Louis region.
