SPENCER — A talented Indian squad posted a 10-run win over Spencer in Lakes Conference baseball Thursday, 13-3, when the squads met for the second time in a week.

PETERSON — A convincing nine-run win suggests a good night at the plate. Actually it was a great night on the bags for Sioux Central as the girls needed just four hits while stealing seven bases and benefitting from seven West Bend-Mallard miscues. The Rebels downed the Wolverines 10-1 in 6 1/2 innings of work, Friday evening.

PETERSON — Four runs in the third outdid three in the fourth as Sioux Central’s baseball team recorded a Twin Lakes Conference victory against West Bend-Mallard at home, Friday night, 4-3.

The GTRA-Spencer Bulls Eyes Trap Team had a fantastic week in Cedar Falls for the State Championship Trap Shoot. Sixteen athletes from the Bulls Eyes made the trek to Cedar Falls. All of them took part in the singles (16-yard line) event, nine also shot in the handicap event (Intermediates from the 22-yard line and high school from the 25-yard line), and 10 entered the doubles event.

OKOBOJI — The fourth annual Boji Legends Golf Tournament announce its lineup of legendary athletes participating in this year's event on June 27, at Okoboji View Golf Course.

When we think about walleye fishing, anglers look to the main “big” walleye lakes. In Dickinson County, that’s Big Spirit Lake, East Okoboji and West Okoboji. In Buena Vista County that’s Storm Lake. In Palo Alto, it’s Lost Island Lake. They definitely are the most targeted walleye lakes.

SPIRIT LAKE — Host squad Spirit Lake had its big seven in the second while Spencer rang up six in the fourth, but ultimately single runs by the Indians in consecutive innings — the bottom of the third, fourth and fifth — led to the 10-9 win Monday night in Lakes Conference action.

Jersey Vail winds up and releases a pitch, getting the win against Spirit Lake, Monday. Two runs in the top of the 10th handed the Indians their 10th loss on the diamond, breaking a 4-4 tie for the win. The pitcher of record helped her own cause with five hits from the leadoff position, including a double and a home run. Vail also struck out 12 from the hill in the road win.

RUTHVEN — Five runs in the third propelled the Sioux Central girls to the win, Monday at Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire Football. A run in their final at bat allowed the Rebels to double up on the Titans, 8-4.

“A strong pitching performance by Matilyn (Trierweiler) kept hitters guessing while timely hitting provided the necessary run support we needed,” said Jessy Bibler, Rebel softball coach.

RUTHVEN — If you look at the stats — nine runs on 12 hits including two home runs and nine stolen bases — Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire wins their home game with Sioux Central’s boys going away. But the game Monday was played on the field, not on paper.

STORM LAKE — Buena Vista University announced a $10,000 grant from Clay County Pheasants Forever to fund the development of a new 3D archery range on university property. This transformational gift will allow the BVU archery program to expand its competitive offerings, host youth 3D camps and offer new outdoor educational experiences to the community.

COUNCIL BLUFFS ― As a team, Spencer hit for the cycle Saturday against Glenwood in Council Bluffs at Iowa Western College, in Lewis Central’s tournament; and George Lawson was a triple short on the cycle in a 12-2, five-inning early stoppage. The Tigers produced at least 1-run an inning and freshman Maxx Techen went the distance on the hill to earn the win, allowing two hits ― one earned ― and struck out five.

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Tara Hauschen, Spencer’s coach, suggested Saturday included two well played games in Council Bluffs, despite losing against Glenwood and Lewis Central.

“Was nice to play teams we don’t normally get to see during our season,” she said.

Jersey Vail and Emma White both pitched well during the day, Hauschen complimented.

Lucy Simington had a home run against Glenwood.
