  • Rams go on road, knock off...

    The Glenwood boys basketball team withstood a two-hour road trip, a bus breakdown and a late rally to post a 53-48 victory over Kuemper Catholic on Friday.

    The Rams (2-1 overall, 1-1 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference) were delayed en route to Carroll on Friday afternoon with mechanical problems on the team bus. After a short delay waiting for a replacement bus, the Rams arrived on time.

    “This was a good win,” said Glenwood coach Curt Schulte. “Anytime you can win at Kuemper its a good win. So with all that happened, this was a solid win for us.”

  • Cyclones escape Glenwood with...

    The Glenwood girls basketball team’s 44-43 loss to Harlan will go down as a game of missed opportunities.

But a missed layup and a foul with just over a second left before the game would have gone in to overtime, allowed Harlan to escape on a free throw by Jordan Brelje, 44-43.

  • Glenwood boys can’t...

    Coming into their Hawkeye 10 Conference opener against state ranked No. 7 Harlan, Glenwood boys basketball coach Curt Schulte said his team would have to be sharp in every phase of the game to have a shot at the upset.

    On Friday, the Rams struggled shooting the ball, struggled at the free throw line and struggled to contain the Cyclones’ offensive penetration. In other words, the Rams were decidedly not sharp and it showed in a 71-42 loss to the Cyclones before a reporter-estimated 1,000 at the Glenwood gymnasium on Friday.
