COLUMBUS - Cambridge senior Macy Jones took 27th place out of 93 golfers at the Class C State Golf Tournament at the Elks Country Club in Columbus Monday and Tuesday. Jones fired a 97 on Monday, then followed with a 92 on Tuesday to finish with a 189 for the tournament.

ALMA - From the opening series of the contest, the Cambridge football team struggled to gain any momentum Friday. The Trojans opened with a three-and-out, Alma drove the field and scored and the Cardinals enjoyed the lead for almost the remainder of the contest.

ARAPAHOE - For almost a half, the Hi-Line football team had its hands full with the Arapahoe Warriors Friday night. Then on a third-and-short late in the second quarter, the Bulls scored on a quirky play that grabbed all the momentum and sent Hi-Line running away for a 60-28 victory.

ARAPAHOE - The Arapahoe and Hi-Line volleyball teams battled to the end, but it was the Warriors that made plays it needed at the end of sets in a 25-19, 25-22, 25-23 victory. The Bulls dug an early hole in the first and couldn’t finish the rally in losing by six, but had leads late in the second and third sets, only to see the Warriors close them out. Cici Lerdall paced the Bulls with 10 kills while Carley Thompson added seven and Zoey Evans finished with six. Jaci Muegerl had five kills and Malia Viter had three. The Bulls hit .113 for the match.

SANDY CREEK - The Southern Valley football team traveled to Sandy Creek Friday and dropped a 74-30 decision to the Cougars. The eagles were able to move the ball and score at times, but had few answers for the Cougars’ ground attack as Sandy Creek rushed for 305 yards and finished with 411 yards of offense.

CAMBRIDGE - The Cambridge volleyball team remains red-hot. The Trojans have won 14 matches in-a-row and 31-straight sets. Even through perhaps it’s most difficult stretch of the season, which included a pair of top ten teams as well as three teams from higher classes, Cambridge tore through eight games in eight days to improve to 22-1 this season. Saturday was the highlight. Taking on unbeaten No.

ARTHUR - After handing out the first loss to an unbeaten the week prior, the Southwest football team had thoughts of doing the same at Arthur County Friday afternoon. But a 10-point Roughriders lead withered away in the afternoon heat as Arthur County scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to claim a 49-45 victory.

Our runners had a great day on Friday as we saw best of the year times from multiple runners and were able to come away with the girls’ team championship for the second year in a row. In the high school girls race, fastest times of the year were turned in by Payton Muegerl, Dallas Weitzel, Genesee Knackstedt, Whitney Page, Grace Schimmels, and Katlynn Parker. We were especially excited to put five runners in the top 15 and be able to edge out Elm Creek for the team title. Whitney Dickau ran a solid race to finish in 3rd as our high individual. She did a great job of battling through the middle part of the race. Payton and Natalie Malcom made some nice adjustments and were able to go after some key competitors. We have talked all year about how important our number four and five runners are and how instrumental they are in putting points on the other team. This team championship wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of Dallas, Whitney Page, and Genesee who all put on gutsy performances to get us where we needed to be in order to win the title. Grace Schimmels had an especially nice run Friday, taking well over a minute off of her fast time on the year. Katlynn Parker also dropped several minutes as she is getting back into the groove after taking some time off with a back issue.

CAMBRIDGE - There were moments when the match was much more competitive than the score would have indicated, but the Cambridge volleyball team ended up rolling to a 25-15, 25-11, 25-7 victory over visiting Arapahoe Friday night.
