CEDAR FALLS (Nov. 9) -- For the AHSTW football team, the fourth time could be the charm Friday afternoon as the Vikings seek the program’s first-ever win inside the UNI-Dome against Edgewood-Colesburg. The Class A semifinal playoff matchup will kick off at 1:00 p.m. and figures to be a good one....
COUNCIL BLUFFS (Nov. 2) -- Whether Lewis Central bags its first state football title in the next two weeks remains to be seen, but the Titans have certainly proven themselves as western Iowa’s top dog in 2018. Despite playing a much more clean and efficient game than the first time around, Harlan...
AVOCA (Nov. 2) -- No comebacks or overtimes necessary this time around. The AHSTW football team never trailed during Friday night’s Class A quarterfinal playoff game with Newman Catholic, using big plays on offense and four interceptions defensively to beat the Knights 31-14 and earn its first...
EXIRA (Nov. 2) -- Avenging a season-opening loss on the same field in August, fifth-ranked Fremont-Mills jumped on top early and defeated No. 7 Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton 61-20 in an Eight-Player football quarterfinal playoff game here last Friday night. The Knights (10-1) will face New London (10-...

EXIRA (Oct. 26) -- The Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton football team started and finished the first half in strong fashion last Friday night, taking a commanding 44-8 lead to the locker room en route to a 51-14 win over Stanton in an Eight-Player first round playoff game. The 7th-ranked Spartans...
FORT DODGE (Oct. 27) -- Harlan Community senior Greichaly Kaster read in a newspaper story last week that Coach Doug Renkly believed she could place in the high 20s or low 30s of her fourth and final state meet.

FORT DODGE (Oct. 27) -- AHSTW sophomores Julia Kock and Chloe Falkena both finished in the top one-third of the Class 1A girls field on Saturday afternoon, placing 32nd and 39th, respectively, in the State Cross Country Championships at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course. Kock finished the five-...
