    TABOR - First and goal at the three yard line. A dive up the middle is thwarted by the Fremont-Mills defense as the first half clock runs out, leaving the Knights trailing 14-8.

    The Knights' stop that ended the half wasn't exactly a “play of the game” type but as far as momentum goes, there was no bigger play in the game for Knight head coach Jeremy Christiansen whose team battled back from from a two-touchdown deficit in a 20-8 victory over Adair-Casey on Friday.

    MALVERN – After spotting Woodbine a pair of first-quarter touchdowns, East Mills got its big-play offense on track in time to spark a 40-28 eight-man win over the visiting Tigers last Friday night before a partisan Wolverine crowd.

    If Mindy Lorimor, a four-sport varsity athlete at Fremont-Mills, had to list what sport was her favorite, she'd list them as follows:
    1. Softball.
    2. Softball.
    3. Softball.

    “I like basketball and volleyball, too,” Lorimor conceded later. Much later.

Not just any athlete gets his own bus bench.

The Glenwood junior placed third at last fall's Iowa State Cross Country meet, the school's best ever individual finish. This after breaking the school record for the Rams' own cross country course and snagging his second straight Hawkeye 10 Conference title.
