Indians look to add more hardware to trophy collection
(09/02/10)When I think of the term "three-peat," Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls first comes to mind. Jordan went through many trials and tribulations against the Detroit Pistons, losing three consecutive Eastern Conference Finals series before finally getting over the hump and winning Chicago's first ever championship. The Bulls went on to win five more NBA titles after that season, including three in a row from '91-'93 and '96-'98... 
Spencer Swim Team
(09/02/10)Q&A with Coach Seversen 1. What are the differences between this year's team and last year's team? "Our team is bigger this year! Also, new to our program is a swimmer from Okoboji and two swimmers from Spirit Lake." 2. Where do your strengths lie this year?... 
Team defense, big plays lift Indians past Tigers

Sibley-Ocheyedan shuts out Pioneers in season debut
(09/01/10)Turnovers and special team miscues played a huge role in a defensive-minded season opener that hinged largely on field position as Okoboji lost the turnover battle and committed two costly mistakes on a pair of botched punts that allowed Sibley-Ocheyedan to pull away for an 18-0 victory in non-district football play in Milford...
G-T uses aerial assault to roll past Rockets
(09/01/10) Getting some added help from tight end Beau Craig, the Graettinger-Terril football team picked up right where they left off last season, using a balanced offensive attack and overpowering defense to down Remsen-Union 25-13 in non-district play. After finishing as one of the eight best teams at the 8-player ranks in 2009, the Knights built a quick 19-0 cushion on the road when quarterback Eric Hatland tossed three touchdown strikes to Craig in the opening half... 
Plans to deter Asian carp
(09/01/10)Exotics...they're here, right here in the Midwest. Thousands of foreign species have been brought to this country both knowingly and unknowingly. Some have been beneficial, while others have been a detriment and have had a profound negative impact on our fragile environment...
Up north to Wabigoon Lake
(09/01/10) More and more Americans, particularly our young people, are simply losing touch with the outdoor experience, according to some surveys I have read. An average young person today spends six hours a day in front of a computer or T.V. and less than four minutes playing outdoors. We need parents and grandparents to help swing that percentage around...
Find the food, find the fish
(09/01/10) From now until ice-up, there is one very basic key to fishing success: You've got to be fishing where the food is. Actually, as soon as the spawn was over finding what the fish wanted to eat was a very important consideration. As the summer progresses and we get into the fall months, staying near what the fish want to eat is very important. Following are some examples and how you can capitalize when you encounter some of these situations...
Rabbit, squirrel hunting season opens Sept. 4
(09/01/10) The 2010-11 hunting seasons for cottontail rabbits and squirrels (fox and gray) will open on Saturday, Sept. 4. Roadside surveys show cottontail rabbit numbers have generally decreased across the state, but will be similar to last year. "Persistent snow cover this past winter and a wet spring and summer statewide likely reduced the winter survival and reproductive success of cottontails," said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist for the DNR. ...
Blocked punt fuels Wolves past Spartans
(08/31/10) Leading 28-12 late in the second quarter with Spalding Catholic backed up deep in their own territory, Cody Bursing blocked a punt that Brady Nissen fell on in the end zone, which helped fuel Harris-Lake Park to a 50-12 victory over Spalding Catholic Friday, Aug. 27 in non-district play in Alton... 
Top-ranked Indians live up to preseason billing

(08/25/10)After graduating four talented seniors from a team that has placed in the top-5 two out of the past three years, the Spirit Lake girls cross country team didn't know quite what to expect with three freshman newcomers on the squad entering their season-opening meet Tuesday at the Spencer Invitational... 
Thomas teaches valuable lesson in wake of adversity
(08/25/10)Adversity is a fact of life. People deal with financial woes, sick family members, failing grades and many other scenarios every single day in our country. Let's face it. We've all faced some type of adversity in our lives, maybe none quite to the extreme of Aaron Thomas and his family, who were forced to deal with the murder of a father, a husband, a coach and a role model. ... |
