ATLANTIC -- A “gutty” performance only begins to describe what Harlan Community sophomore Greichaly Kaster accomplished in Thursday’s Class 3-A State Qualifying Cross Country Meet. Becoming physically sick to her stomach during the last half-mile of the girls’ five-kilometer race, Kaster barely...
HARLAN -- The Harlan Community football team finished the year on a positive note and perhaps offered a glimpse toward 2017 with Friday night’s 49-14 home win over Atlantic. Junior tailback Nick Foss stole the show for HCHS at Merrill Field, breaking one single-game rushing school record and tying...
AVOCA -- In a Week 9 battle that doubled as a postseason play-in game, the AHSTW football team started fast, finished strong and looked every bit deserving of their 11th playoff berth in the last 12 years. Dominating at times en route to a 23-0 halftime lead, the Vikings answered a stern third-...
MALVERN -- Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton steamrolled to a 40-0 halftime lead and cruised into the playoffs Friday night, beating East Mills 52-11 in a Week 9 matchup. The Spartans finished the regular season at 6-3 overall and 6-1 in 8-Player, District 7, placing second in the standings to earn the...

Sporrer placed fourth with...
GLENWOOD -- If Harlan Community’s players didn’t already know it was tournament time Wednesday night, coach Angie Spangenberg cued them in pretty quickly at the start of set two. Already holding a 25-17 win to their credit over Glenwood, the Cyclones received serve to start the second set, showed...
HARLAN -- The Harlan Community football team will have one last chance to put it all together Friday night when it hosts Atlantic in the final game of the season for both teams. The Trojans visit Merrill Field with an overall record of 1-7 and a Class 3-A, District 7 mark of 0-6, having lost seven...
LOGAN -- It’s hard to say how Tuesday’s regional match between AHSTW and Logan-Magnolia would have played out if the first set had ended differently, but for the Lady Vikes it was an all too familiar experience. Letting a 22-20 lead slip away in a highly-competitive set one, AHSTW never fully...
