The Fremont-Mills baseball team pounded out 10 hits but it was not enough as Villisca edged the Knights 10-9 in Corner Conference baseball on Friday.

Seth Phillips went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two runs driven in for the Knights (1-2).

Clayton Wilson and James Hill each added two hits.

Austin Hansen started the game on the hill for the Knights but left without a decision following the fourth inning after allowing three hits and no earned runs. Derrian Bredberg pitched the fifth, allowing five hits and four earned runs to take the loss.

The Glenwood boys soccer team wrapped up the Hawkeye 10 Conference title with a dominating 3-0 victory over Denison last Monday.

The Rams (14-2 overall, 5-1 in the conference) have won eight straight games. Glenwood has also now captured two of the past three Hawkeye 10 titles.

“It was nice to see,” said Glenwood coach Mike Artist of his team’s conference title. “It was one of our goals. Two out of the last three isn’t bad.”

The Glenwood girls and boys track teams combined to qualify in 16 events for the Iowa State Track Meet at Friday's Class 3A District Meet in Atlantic.

The Rams' 16 state qualifiers will begin their quest for state gold on Friday at the Iowa State Track Meet at Des Moines' Drake Stadium.

Jefferson-Scranton won the district team title with 152 points, to edged runner up Harlan and the third place Rams. In the individual standings, the Glenwood boys earned three gold medals on the day and advanced in 12 events.

If it’s possible to be young and experienced, then that’s what head coach Tim Stanton would call his 2010 Glenwood softball team.

“We lost four senior starters from last season so we’re younger this year but we might have more “softball” experience,” said Stanton, in his eighth season at the Rams’ helm. “This is definitely the most talent I’ve ever had from the top of the varsity to the bottom of the freshman team that’s ever been in the program at one time.”
