M-C senior safety Drew Wyffels has been named 9-Man football All-State 1st team and third team All-State any class.  Wyffels added a career-best 28-point game (five threes) on the hardwood, leading M-C past South Winn.  Teammate Blake Henry is 9-Man football All-State HM.  Journal covered basketball teams have yet to take big steps forward.  A number are hovering around .500.  Chatfield’s boys had a 2-1 week, beating Southland and Z-M, losing to D-E.  Josef Fahrenholtz had double-doubles in all three contests.  Landon Bance went 11 of 15 from distance versus D-E (18 pts) and Z-M (19 pts). Reid Johnson had 23 versus the Eagles.  The Gophers are 1-2, 2-2.  R-P’s boys went 2-1, beating Cotter and Mayer Lutheran, losing to Caledonia.  Landon Skalet (12 pts, 10 ast, 9 stls) neared a triple-double versus the Ramblers.  Sophomore Luke O’Hare had a career-high 23 versus the Warriors.  He’s averaging 16.3 PPG (50% shooting).  The Trojans are 1-2, 3-3.  Kingsland’s boys are 2-1, 2-2.  Wyatt Pruter is averaging 20 PPG.  M-C’s girls are 3-2, 4-3 (see Athlete of the Week).  FC’s girls are 3-2, 4-3.  Madison Scheevel has hit three-plus threes five times in seven games.  Kingsland’s girls are 1-2, 2-2.  Houston’s Mikkel Schutte authored his third 10 and 15 effort in four games in a loss to SG (13 pts, 17 rebs).  FC’s boys had two career-high performances, from Josh Peters (30 pts, 7-14 threes) versus L-A, and Cory Brown (22 pts, 6-12 threes) versus Caledonia.  The Falcons (0-3, 0-5), Lanesboro’s girls (0-4, 0-5), and Chatfield’s girls (0-5, 0-7) are all still winless.
