Although the body shop has occupied the building the past 25 years, its history dates back to the early days of Eagle Bend. Photographs from that era show that at one time it was Young’s Livery. It later became a repair shop, then storage for Lindy Heldt’s Chevrolet dealership.

Eagle Valley played a tough match Monday against Royalton. Royalton came out very strong in games one and two. The Rebels had a hole to dig out of if they were to win the match. With the Rebels taking the lead in 3, 5 and 1, Royalton called time out and settled things down. It worked. Eagle Valley missed the next serve and Royalton took the lead 8-5. Eagle Valley rallied with Jenny Nelson serving six straight points to put the Rebels ahead and give the Rebels the victory.
