Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 27th of August.
Good morning, Bowling Green.
🚨 Crime
David Anthony Proffitt went to court Monday in Bowling Green and his murder trial may be delayed next month because the key witness—Dr. Amy Burroughs-Beckham—is not available to testify in person; if the judge denies using her deposition, the trial set for Sept.
23 will be rescheduled.
🎓 Education
On Thursday, the Warren County school board voted 2—3 to block a plan by LifeWise Academy that would let Alvaton Elementary students leave school early for character-based Bible education at Eastwood Baptist Church.
LifeWise Academy said it will re-propose the program and work to address board concerns over safety and unclear curriculum rules.
🏈 Sports
Abby Wiedermann, a WKU soccer sophomore defender, was named Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week after scoring the game-winning goal in a 1 to 0 win over Jackson State last week—her second honor at WKU.
