Tigers sweep Lakers to end regular season

The Tigers eked out a 26-24 win in Game 2, to stay on their way to a sweep win over the Minnewaska Area Lakers. The nifty 3-0 triumph upped our record to 16-7 on the season. The match actually marked the end of the regular season. The Lakers of 'Waska came out of Tuesday at 9-14.
Our sweep win was accomplished with scores of 25-20, 26-24 and 25-10. The site was 'Waska.
Our leader in kills was Lexi Pew who posted ten. Kenzie Hockel performed six kills followed by Sophie Carlsen and Emma Berlinger who each had five. Bailey Marty and Jen Solvie each came at the Lakers with four. Three Tigers each had one ace block: Carlsen, Hockel and Pew. Riley Decker topped the digs list as she often does, on this night with a stat of 13. Marty performed nine digs followed by Hockel and LaRae Kram each with seven.
Kram took the lead in the setting department and racked up 21 assists. Liz Dietz had a complimentary role with nine assists, and Marty and Decker were handy to each perform one. On to serving: Here we see Kram topping the list with three aces while Marty and Kenzie Stahman each had two and Decker had one.
Five different Lakers each had one serving ace: Sierra Lindemann, Sarta Geiser, Avery Hoeper, Emily Harste and Grace Bartles. Geiser performed 20 set assists. Ellie Danielson was team-best in kills with nine. Danielson executed an ace block. This Laker was also team-best in digs with 12.
The Tigers will have a re-match with Minnewaska in the post-season. We're seeded No. 2 in Section 3AA-North, and 'Waska has the No. 7 seed. Paynesville has the top seed. We'll debut at home.
 
Cross country: Tigers top the conference
Montevideo was the destination for the West Central Conference cross country meet on Tuesday. It was a meet in which the orange and black shone. Our teams took No. 1 in boys and girls.

The runner-up in the race was Melrose's Preston Poepping, time of 17:29.00.
The MACA girls took No. 1 among the six teams, led by Maddie Carrington whose time was 21:09.65, good for second behind Sauk Centre's Sophia Kluver (20:46.95). The Carrington name like always had big impact as fans saw Meredith reach the finish chute No. 3, time of 21:41.64.

Football: BOLD 35, Tigers 7
Not much to cheer about for Tiger fans in the last regular season game. The spirited fans at BOLD had frequent reason to cheer as their Warriors downed our Tigers 35-7. BOLD wrapped up its regular season undefeated at 8-0. The orange and black came out of the night at 5-3. The action was at Olivia, Wednesday (the annual MEA week game).
BOLD scored in each of the four quarters. Gavin Vosika got the Warriors started with a 35-yard touchdown run, followed by a Braeden Tersteeg PAT kick. Gavin Vosika would finish the night with 117 rushing yards on ten carries. There is another Vosika in the BOLD fold: Dawson, who carried for 14 yards. Tim Peppel picked up 64 ground yards on 14 carries. Jordan Sagedahl had five carries good for 44 yards.
BOLD scored in the second quarter on a five-yard run by Peppel. Tersteeg kicked for the point-after.
The Tigers scored their only touchdown in the third quarter when Durgin Decker passed eleven yards to Jaret Johnson. Eli Grove kicked the point-after.
BOLD had the game's last three touchdowns, by Gavin Vosika (a 61-yard run), Peppel (an eleven-yard scamper) and Gavin Vosika again (a 12-yard run). Tersteeg kicked successfully after all three.
Jordan Sagedahl threw all but one of BOLD's passes and he completed four of ten for 114 yards, no interceptions. Matthew Moorse completed his only attempt. Gavin Vosika had three of the receptions, good for 68 yards. Luke Ryan and Joey McMath had the other receptions. Ryan, Gavin Vosika and Tersteeg each made an interception. BOLD's defensive leaders were Andrew Sheehan (five solo tackles and three assists), Tersteeg (3-6), Cade Morse (4-5) and Anthony Maher (1-5). Maher got a quarterback sack.
The Tigers' Camden Arndt rushed to over the 100-yard plateau again, on this night accumulating 113 ground yards on 15 carries. Kenny Soderberg rushed for 49 yards on five carries. Also picking up yards were Jack Riley, Tristan Raths, Matt McNeill and Bradyn Daugherty. Decker who is pretty new to the varsity picture completed four passes for 43 yards and had two picked off. Eli Grove completed one of one for 19 yards. Our pass receptions were made by Riley, Jaret Johnson and Colten Scheldorf.
The post-season is now upon us! As of today, Friday, the weather is terrific. Remember the year we had the Halloween blizzard?
