We interupt the wonderful comment section of the previous post to bring you this news... Clifton/Clyde is in the playoffs! The Eagles host Marias des Cynges Valley tonight at 6pm. Pregame with me and Nick will begin at 5:45. If can of course hear it on 92.1 fm, and on the internet at www.network1sports.com
C/C is 9-0 and has played but one game into the 4th quarter; that a 46-20 at Pike Valley. MdCV is 5-4, but is 4-1 in their last 5 games. Funny things happen in the playoffs, but not tonight... Eagles 48-0.
C/C fans, what are your thoughts?
It's go time...
Final week of the regular season is today, with some teams still having a shot at the post season, and others seeing the year come to an end. Here's what area teams will be facing tonight...
Republic County (1-7) vs Ell Saline (4-4) The Cardinals have locked up a playoff berth witha 32-0 win over Bennington last week. Michael Wimer leads the offense, rushing for 1,189 yards and 8 TD this season. The Buffs are paced by QB Gary Roberts 1,215 yards passing and 9 TDs. A win to end the season, especially the way things went against top teams, would be huge for the Buffs to take some momentum into the winter sports season.
Clifton/Clyde (8-0) at Jewell (1-7) Not many teams in the state can boast they have 3 runners with over 700 yards rushing and 11 TDs. Michael Lambert (906 yds- 22 td), Dustin Cyr (835- 11) and Christian Jackson (744- 14) form the best 1-2-3 combo in 8 man football. Jewell's lone win was against 0-8 Southern Cloud.
Game of the week: Pike Valley (5-3) at St. John's Beloit- Tipton (6-1) By now, they know what's on the line: PTL Championship, trip to the playoffs. StJB-T's only loss is to Clifton Clyde, 0-50, while Pike Valley gave C/C their first full game last week, losing 20-46. Pike valley must win by 9 or more to win the tiebreaker with the BluJays. Anything else and STB-T will move on. Panther coach Don Melby and senior leaders Ian Peters and Konner Bergstrom will have the team ready, and it should be a great one.
Good luck to all our area teams!!!

Season's end in sight...
I mentioned this morning the playoff picture with 2 games to go, as well as where area volleyball and cross country are participating. The recap...
Regional Cross Country: Republic County at Riley (Leonardville Golf Course), Pike Valley at Riley, Concordia at Marysville (Country Club).
Sub-State Volleyball: Republic County (12-19) vs Riley County (15-19) at Rossville, Concordia vs. Royal Valley at Chapman.
8man Football (Top 2 teams from each district move on to playoffs)
Clifton/Clyde.....Pike Valley....Kensington....St. John's/ Tipton
...... +63..............+40...........+2.............+21
........3-0...........2-1...........2-1............2-1
........PV.............C/C.......St.J-T.........Kensington
........Jewell......St. J- T.......Lakeside......Pike Valley
As you can see, the Panthers hold their destiny in their hands. A loss in either of the next 2 games means PV needs help. Win out and win the district.

XC, Pike Valley homecoming, JH football
Pictures from events of the past few weeks. You will note a lack of volleyball pics. If you've got them, I'll put them up here!
Week 6 football
Republic County 6, Beloit 72
Ouch. Not much else to say. District play begins at home against Washington County Friday. New season.
Pike Valley 12, Kensington 14
The Panthers came up one 2pt conversion short against one of the top teams in the state. I an Peters had 18 tackles to lead the D, while Derek Barret had 114 yards on the ground to pace the Panthers. PV travels to Jewell Friday, before hosting Clifton/Clyde in the biggest game in Scandia since Hope came to town for the Sub-State Championship game in 2005.

Homecoming win for Pike Valley
Pike Valley 48 Lakeside 0
This is how you step up on homecoming night. Efficient offense, a smothering defense, and an early exit for the visitors. Konner Bergstrom had a huge game; 13 carries, 118 yards, 4 TD's, 7-14 106 yards passing, 1 TD. Ian Peters showed why he was homecoming king with 11 tackles, 1 rushing TD, and 4 catches. Bravo, Panthers. Bravo. Next up, the very tough (and 5-0) Kensington Gold Bugs.
Russell 50 Republic County 12
This is what not to do on homecoming. The Buff offense was stagnat against a defense that loaded up to stop the run. The result; QB Gary Roberts passed many times, and scrambled well, but couldn't put enough points on the board when it mattered most. Missing Kuhlman, and after the first snap of the game, Duensing for another game doesn't help, but somewhere, someone has to step up. Next up, on the road to Beloit, who defeated Ellsworth 48-12. If you think the Trojans will show anything that remotely resembles mercy on the Buffs, you're in a sad mental state. Defensive attitude (and TACKLING!!!) for the Buffs needs to change before Friday.
