Knight Boys Hold Off Burros
Hopefully, by each team’s offensive displays, they’ll each have solid years. Kingsland’s boys played at Lanesboro in a game of individual scoring spurts, a contest that pry was too close for comfort for the winners. Kingsland senior Zach Buchholtz was aggressive early, scoring 13 of the Knights’ first 17 points. The fighting John Fenske’s jumped out 17-10. But a 10-3 Burro run … [Read more...]

M-C Girls Stun R-P
Sports and injuries are synonymous with one another. Players get hurt. It is an unfortunate part of the game. Again, a key R-P athlete has been befallen by injury. Where the Trojans’ girls’ game with Mabel-Canton would’ve went had Mikayla Crawford not hurt her ankle, is unknown. Where it went once she was out, is known. The Cougars pounced on at an opportunity and pulled … [Read more...]
