Lifesaving whiskey North Dakota is home to many types of snakes. The largest is the bullsnake. It averages 83 inches long. The record length is 93 inches. They would rather escape than attack. If cornered, a bullsnake will open its mouth, hiss, vibrate its tail, and appear ready to strike. Fortunately, bullsnakes aren't venomous, but they're often killed because they appear dangerous. Bullsnakes are most common in the western part of the state. Also found in the west are racers, a fast snake...
In one of the track-and-field capitals of Class B, Logan Weninger showed that football pads were no impediment to chunks of yardage with his legs.

Weninger averaged just under 16 yards a carry with his 12 attempts, and even gave a subtle...
