    The Glenwood softball team improved to 9-0 on the season with a 3-0 weekend at the Atlantic Softball Tournament.
    The Rams knocked off Walnut 11-1 and Treynor 6-1 before defeating Carroll 8-4 in the pool title game.
    “This was a good measuring stick for us,” said Glenwood coach Tim Stanton. “Carroll came in 9-1 and we came out and played really well. If we can get eight runs with the way Molly (Bryan) has been pitching, we’re going to be tough to beat.”

    The Glenwood boys state tournament frustrations continued on Thursday with a 2-1 loss to Dubuque Wahlert in the opening round of the Class 3A State Soccer Tournament at Cownie Soccer Park in Des Moines.

    After his team scraped by Harlan 1-0 in a hard fought Hawkeye 10 Conference battle in April, Glenwood coach Mike Artist didn’t know what to expect from a Class 2A, Substate final match up with the Cyclones.
    Less than five minutes into the game, Artist had his answer. Trenton McNeel’s goal sailed through the net for a 1-0 lead to take the air right out of the unranked Cyclones’ upset bid over the No. 4 ranked Rams en route to a 3-0 victory that lands Glenwood into the state tournament.
