EXIRA (Sept. 8) -- The first two games of the 2020 football season have literally been a tale of two halves for Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton. In a Week 1 contest at 2nd-ranked Audubon, Exira-EHK fell behind 49-0 at halftime in a 55-0 defeat. In Friday’s home game vs. Coon Rapids-Bayard, the Spartans...
AVOCA (Sept. 3) -- For a young football team like AHSTW, the strangeness of 2020 could actually be a blessing this fall.

HARLAN (Aug. 28) -- Going into Friday’s season opener, the early returns on Harlan Community football implied that the Cyclone defense was clearly ahead of the offense. Forty points and 549 total yards later, it turns out the offense is pretty good too. Answering all four scores by Grinnell with...
HARLAN (Aug. 28) -- No matter which set of preseason football rankings you follow, Friday’s Week 1 non-district clash between the Harlan Community Cyclones and Grinnell Tigers is expected to be a good one in Class 3A. HCHS is listed third in the first Radio Iowa Poll of the year and sixth by the...
