Jeff Trost and his wife were enjoying a night out for supper with some friends when the phone call came earlier this month.

Even a day later, the loss was sticking in Nashua-Plainfield coach Al Frost’s proverbial craw.

The Nashua-Plainfield girls basketball team endured another tough week as the Huskies closed out the 2018 portion of their schedule with two losses.

To say the Nashua-Plainfield offense was struggling in the first quarter of last week’s game against North Butler would be an understatement.
But if there is a truism in basketball, it is this: Defense can lead to offense.

With a score reminiscent of the Turkey Valley girls teams of a couple years ago, the Trojans started a doubleheader at Postville Tuesday with a 65-8 win, prior to the TV boys making it a sweep, 52-41 over the Pirates.

Attending a University of Iowa football camp after his freshman year of high school changed everything for Noah Fenske.

New Hampton senior Paige Wisner admitted to being exhausted after Tuesday night’s loss to Crestwood. Despite the best efforts from the New Hampton girls, the Cadets lived up to their No.

It wasn’t the Northeast Iowa Conference win the New Hampton boys basketball team desperately craved, but maybe it was the performance that can kickstart the Chickasaws in conference play.

Not only did the Nashua-Plainfield girls embark on one of the more hectic portions of its schedule last weekend, it did so against two outstanding teams.

Don’t get Al Frost wrong, the veteran Nashua-Plainfield coach likes the path his team is traveling.

The Nashua-Plainfield boys basketball team showed its coach just as much in a loss last week as they did in a 31-point victory.

Austin Flugum came right out and said it; he needed a game like Saturday.
So did the rest of his New Hampton teammates.

Turkey Valley’s girls have had close games before. Half of the eight games for the Lady Trojans this season have been decided by seven points or less. The boys, on the other hand, hadn’t had a game closer than 13 points.

At the half, New Hampton’s girls were up by 14 Friday night against Decorah and the next afternoon — as the Chickasaw girls were taking on Schaeffer Academy in Decorah’s “Border Battle” — they were, again, up by 14 at the half.

Let’s put it this way, New Hampton/Turkey Valley’s wrestlers weren’t exactly enamored last week when the Battle of Waterloo brackets came out.
