New Hampton got a huge game from running back Carter Ferrie and came up with several big second half plays to rally for a 25-23 victory over Charles City on Friday night.
 

After a 36-6 record and a state tournament appearance in 2018, the expectations are high for the Class 3A 10th-ranked New Hampton volleyball team this fall. 

Entering the season ranked as the No.

A convicted felon who illegally possessed a gun was sentenced last month to one year in federal prison, and the lesson is this: When committing a crime, it’s probably a good idea to leave the dog at home.

The stats said New Hampton won this game; the scoreboard, unfortunately, didn’t as the Chickasaws saw an 18-7 lead evaporate in a 22-18 loss to Aplington-Parkersburg Friday night.

It usually takes cross country runners quite a few meets to get times back to where they were at the end of the previous season.

There are question marks, no doubt about it, but veteran New Hampton football coach Scott Frerichs liked a lot of the answers he saw when his Chickasaws traveled to Decorah this past Friday for their annual scrimmage with the Vikings.

Turkey Valley’s cross country teams won’t show up in the team standings this year, but it’s a good bet that the Trojans will make some noise when it comes to the individual standings at meets.

In 2018, the Turkey Valley volleyball team only had one senior. This year, they possess a whopping nine seniors as they try to improve on their 4-22 record.

With just two total seniors - both girls - the New Hampton cross country team will be extremely young.

The Turkey Valley football team is coming off of a season that saw them boast a record of 8-1 in the regular season before losing to the eventual state runner-up Rockford in the playoffs in a heartbreaker by a score of 64-58.

Although the New Hampton volleyball team made the state tournament last season, the Chickasaws will have to replace a substantial amount of production heading into the 2019 campaign. 

Although they had a rough start to the season - possessing a record of 1-6 to start the 2019 campaign - the Turkey Valley softball team turned their year around to boast an overall record of 18-16.

They came in with a plan, a scouting report if you will, and boy oh boy, did it pay off for the St. Joseph Community School “Shopping Quartet.”

New Hampton’s JV softball team closed out their season with three wins, concluding a superb season.
The girls defeated North Fayette Valley, Decorah and South Winn to finish the season with a 16-1 record.
