ELK HORN -- And then there were two. The tie atop the Rolling Valley Conference volleyball standings was whittled down to just a pair here Tuesday night after Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton handled Coon Rapids-Bayard in four sets (25-16, 25-10, 22-25, 25-18). The Spartans (11-12 overall) won their...
HARLAN -- As regular season losses go, this one was a gut wrencher for the Harlan Community football team. Leading sixth-ranked (3-A) Carroll 19-0 at halftime, the Cyclones allowed 35 second-half points, turned the ball over three times in their last four possessions and had their playoff hopes...
NEWTON -- The Harlan Community volleyball team took some steps in the right direction at Saturday’s Newton Tournament, stealing a set from top-ranked Pella and placing third out of eight teams with a 3-2 record. HCHS finished second to Pella in Pool B, lost another three-setter to Newton in the...
MANNING -- AHSTW kept its unbeaten season alive and IKM-Manning’s frustrations continued Friday night as the Vikings scored 27 unanswered points in a 27-16 road win over the Wolves. IKM-M led 8-0 after one quarter and 8-7 at halftime but didn’t score again until it trailed by three touchdowns in...

HARLAN -- It was only fitting that Harlan Community head volleyball coach Angie Spangenberg received her latest honor on the same night that HCHS hosted Red Oak. Prior to the Cyclones vs. Tigers match on September 27, Coach Spangenberg was officially inducted into the KMA Sports Hall of Fame,...
HARLAN -- On a proud night for Harlan Community Schools and HCHS volleyball coach Angie Spangenberg, the only thing missing was a victory on the court. Shaking off a slow start on Tuesday, the Cyclones built a two-sets-to-one lead against Red Oak but couldn’t quite seal the deal, losing a...
HARLAN -- It’s only Week 6 and it’s also Homecoming, but Friday night’s clash with Carroll is basically a playoff game for the Harlan Community football team. A victory over the sixth-ranked Tigers (5-0 overall, 3-0 in Class 3-A, District 7) wouldn’t guarantee the Cyclones much of anything in...
DENISON -- Greichaly Kaster of Harlan Community and Payton Sporrer of IKM-Manning both placed in the top four at Tuesday’s Monarch Cross Country Invitational, headlining an impressive group of nine area girls to earn medals on the Northside Recreation Facility course near Denison High School. ...
