STANTON — The Hartington-Newcastle Wildcats’ magical football season came to an abrupt halt Nov. 6 when the ‘Cats traveled to Stanton to take on the unbeaten Mustangs in the Nebraska D1 Football Playoffs. After the exciting 62-57 win in the opening round last week over Centura, this one was a “no doubter” as Stanton scored just over a minute into the game, wound up the continuous clock to open the second half and held a 42-0 advantage before Hartington-Newcastle found the end zone in the third quarter. “Stanton was a physical and fast football team that didn’t make mistakes and played very well,” said Hartingon- Newcastle coach Rusty Fuller. “We couldn’t capitalize on our big plays and that hurt us down the stretch.” Jason Heimes capped off a Wildcat drive with 4:27 left in the third frame on a blast for six from two yards out to account for the HNS points for the evening. As one would expect, the Mustangs also dominated the contest statistically.

Duluth News Tribune · Wayne, NE
Nearby: Wayne, NEThe postseason path for UMD volleyball got significantly brighter on Friday, in part due to the Bulldogs’ 3-1 (25-17, 19-25, 25-10, 25-16) NSIC tournament semifinal victory over Concordia-St. Paul on Friday night in Wayne, Nebraska. Before the No. 23-ranked Bulldogs played No. 10 CSP, No. 14 St. Cloud State ousted hosts and national No. 2 Wayne State in five sets, setting up a dogfight in Nebraska on Saturday for the conference championship and automatic NCAA bid. The second semi between No. 2-seeded CSP and No. 6 seed UMD had some wild swings, UMD hitting .286 and -minus .026 in the first two sets. However, it was UMD that stabilized, dominating the third set by hitting .308 and allowing the powerhouse Golden Bears just three kills. UMD’s offense was even better, .333, in the fourth and more than enough to cancel out CSP’s improvement. Paige Decker had her second standout performance in as many rounds, finishing with 15 kills and getting a hand in seven blocks.

Cuming County News · West Point, NE
Nearby: West Point, NEOn the same day that West Point’s City Council awarded $50,000 in LB840 funds to help a new business get started, West Point voters rejected the continuation of a local sales tax that would have kept in place an economic development tool the city has used for 14 years. Although the ballot language was required to say voters were deciding if an “additional tax” should be collected, the vote was actually to determine the fate of an existing sales tax. As was noted in the Sept. 25 issue of the Cuming County News, passage of the ballot issue would have allowed the city to continue to collect its existing half-cent sales tax. Revenue generated by that tax would have continued to be split 50-50, half to economic development efforts and half for capital improvements, including park and recreation facility improvements. After the votes were counted last Tuesday, the result was “no” to extending the tax but “yes” to continuing the economic development program.
