A pair of goals by Michaela Moore and Mallory Hoyt in the closing minutes of the first half seized the momentum for Glenwood and two more goals after halftime sealed the win and the Rams' first ever Hawkeye 10 Conference championship in a 4-0 win over Kuemper Catholic last Tuesday.

Glenwood coach Brad Selvey said his team started slowly before coming into their own over the final 50 minutes or so, he said.

What a difference a year makes.

Just a year removed from having perhaps the youngest team in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, Glenwood girls softball coach Tim Stanton begins the 2009 season with perhaps the most experienced and deepest teams in the conference.

The Rams return nine of their top 10 hitters from last season's 22-20 team that finished fifth in the conference. Stanton calls his 2009 Rams his best team since his conference champion 2004 team.

Coming off its best season in school history the Glenwood baseball team is looking at a “rebuilding” season in 2009, said coach Brett Elam.

The Rams lost nine seniors off last year's 27-10 team that placed second in the Hawkeye 10 Conference before seeing their season end at Harlan in districts.

Brian Segoviana's goal one minute into overtime gave Denison a 3-2 Hawkeye 10 Conference victory over Glenwood last Monday.

The Monarchs assured themselves of at least a share of the conference crown with the win and eliminated the Rams, the defending conference champions, from title contention.

After a scoreless first half, Glenwood got a pair of goals from Nathan Knight and Brian Lilly to take a a 2-1 lead midway through the second half. But with just under four minutes to go, the Monarchs tied it at 2-2 to send the game into overtime.
