ROSY ENDING…For 13 years, Suzy Merritt has been in charge of the McGuinness High School Hospitality room for the annual McGuinness Classic basketball tournament.
This year, she is retiring from that chairmanship and in appreciation for her efforts, High School Principal David Morton and Athletic Director Gary Savely presented her with a dozen red roses at the halftime of the McGuinness-Edmond Santa Fe game.
