Chat & LARP Go To Cal For Tri
The unabbreviated way to say it was, Chatfield and Lewiston-Altura/Rushford-Peterson’s wrestling teams each trekked to Caledonia for a triangular with Cal/Houston. The three-way begged and delivered good mat competition. The Gophers and Screamin’ Eagles went first. It was back-and-forth up thru 152. LARP led after 106 (Tyler Kreidermacher 16-6 MD), 120 (Ross Herber pin), … [Read more...]
Trojans Stay Perfect in New Year
It’s a small sample size (four games). But so far in 2019, R-P boys basketball has yet to lose. In a proximity rivalry game with Houston, things were knotted 30-30 early in the second. The home Trojans then ran 10-0. It propelled Chris Drinkall’s bunch to a 58-45 win over former Trojan Trent Vix’s group. Ben Wieser, a 6’3” sophomore C, posted a career-high (17 pts, 8-13 … [Read more...]
Knights Use Overtime to Dispatch Cougars
On paper, Kingsland (7-5) was probably the favorite versus M-C (5-6) in a boys basketball game. But with each team down a post player, with porous shooting, and with M-C’s top big guy near unstoppable, it took until overtime to seal the deal. A close regulation had eight ties, largest lead M-C 31-23. The teams went (nearly) back-and-forth late; Dylan Loppnow lay-up (43-39 … [Read more...]

Still Can’t Quite Really Figure
A year ago at this time, the boys Section 1A race was jumbled. Top teams like R-P and SG weren’t rated that way via the QRF. Eventually, the Trojans and Lions made the Section title game. R-P moved on to state. This year, eight boys teams (QRF, record) were above five hundred as of January 6; Hayfield (#1, 10-2), BP (#2, 8-1), SG (#3, 7-1), Randolph (#4, 9-1), R-P (#5, … [Read more...]
Knights Run Streak to Five
On December 21, Kingsland senior scorer Wyatt Pruter went down with a sprained ankle. For those following Knight Boys Nation, it was an “oh crap” moment. Judging by the 103 points he scored in the four games since, he’s fine. John Fenske’s group is also quite fine after posting two wins to start 2019. Perennial section power Goodhue first fell, 71-53. Pruter posted a … [Read more...]
