For Mike Szalat, the end result was far less important than the journey to get there. The St. Edmond girls cross country team finished 14th here Friday at the Class 1A state meet. But from the perspective of their head coach, the miles, the time and the memories put together were what made it ...
CLARION — Colin Sesker started Friday night’s contest with two big runs. He ended it with a short one. The eighth-ranked Cowboys (9-1 overall) escaped their home field with a 32-26 victory over South Hardin (7-3). Esker had a run of 39 and 21 in the first quarter and was over 100 yards by the half, but his three-yard touchdown scamper with 34 seconds left put the Cowboys up for good. Clarion-Goldfield-Dows struggled in the third quarter with negative-six yards of offense, and trailed on the scoreboard 20-10. After a South Hardin fumble and two unsportsmanlike penalties, ...

Cooper Nattress scored on two short TD runs in the first half as the Titans capitalized on three turnovers. Tucker Berner picked off his fifth pass of the year to set up the ...
CARROLL - A healthy Nathan Manske definitely makes Algona a different team. Manske had two rushing touchdowns and returned an interception for a third score, leading the Bulldogs to a 35-21 victory over third-ranked Carroll here Friday night in the Class 3A playoffs. With the win, No. 15 Algona (6-4 overall) advances to face district rival Bishop Heelan in Sioux City next week. The 11th-ranked Crusaders knocked off No. 6 Sioux Center, 28-21. Along with the three Manske scores, Owen Moe answered a touchdown by the Tigers, returning the ensuing kickoff back 90 yards for a score. That ...
