A dicey weather forecast for Friday night has led New Hampton and Nashua-Plainfield officials to move up the start of their high school football games.

Nashua-Plainfield didn’t get the win, yet one touchdown changed everything for the Huskies last Friday in a 38-16 loss to South Winneshiek.

The word coach Ethan Adams used after his Turkey Valley volleyball team dropped a 3-0 match to Upper Iowa Conference opponent Clayton Ridge Thursday was “streaky.”
“We lose our enthusiasm, we lose our fire on the court,” he said.

The New Hampton and Turkey Valley cross country teams finally enjoyed a “normal” week, and they capped it off with a shining run on a cold Saturday outing in Cresco.

After a loss to Central City, Turkey Valley couldn’t afford another defeat if they wanted to advance to the state playoffs in a wild card spot. 

The experiences, at least in the eyes of New Hampton volleyball coach Jess Geerts, more than made up for the Chickasaws’ first loss of the season on Saturday.

Turkey Valley recorded consecutive wins earlier this season, but this week marked the first time the Trojan volleyball program has two straight wins over different opponents.

Forget the 0-4 beginning to the season, or even the rather pedestrian start to Friday’s game, New Hampton’s football team will be playing for the Class 2A, District 3 lead next week.The Chickasaws, down 7-6 at halftime, played arguably its best ha

Ask New Hampton cross country coach Jamie Ohrt and her Turkey Valley counterpart, Sarah Bakula, about settling into a routine this season, and they both pretty much have the same answer.
What routine?

After Charlie and Tate Geerts had balloons tied around their wrists and ran around the gym floor to show them off, their mother talked about her “other” family. 

The Nashua-Plainfield football team is in desperate need of some good news, and it might finally get some this Friday.

Nashua-Plainfield’s volleyball team — especially its freshmen — continued to make solid strides last week as the Huskies battled Top of Iowa Conference rival North Butler before falling in four sets and went 1-2 at the Dunkerton Invitational on Sa

Isn’t there a saying that attitude is everything?
Then the Turkey Valley girls should continue to grow as a team, even though they struggled at the Waukon tourney last Saturday.

After winning their first set against Decorah by a 25-9 score Tuesday, the Chickasaw girls were up 17-4 in the second set.

Injuries plus sickness plus too many mistakes is not a good football equation, and it all adds up to an 0-4 start for Nashua-Plainfield.
