Following an overtime victory against Holdingford at the
St. John’s Prep Holiday Tournament, the EV-W Eagles fell short last Thursday night, Jan. 3, at home, to the Kimball Area Cubs, 58-46.
The contest couldn’t have been any tighter, as the clock at the half-time buzzer revealed a 19-19 tie. But to EV-W’s chagrin, the Cubs would trump the Eagles second-half tally of 27 with 39 of their own. Senior guard Brent Stenger led the Eagles with 14. Sophomore forward Jared Streit managed 12; Kirby Knutson, senior forward, finished with 8; and sophomore guard Bret Mattice had 7.
The Eagles travel to Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted Tuesday, Jan. 8, and host Maple Lake Friday, Jan. 11.

Hoping to get back on the winning path last week, the Eden Valley-Watkins Eagles took on the Lakers
Tuesday, Jan. 8, at Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted; and hosted the Maple Lake Irish, on Friday, Jan. 11. The game v Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted was exciting to the very end. Down by seven points at the half, the Eagles outscored the Lakers the rest of the way, but it wasn’t enough, as they fell, 56-53.

The seventh-grade Kimball Cubs girls’ basketball team wrapped up their season Tuesday, Dec. 18, with a win over visiting Howard Lake by a score of 39-27. The win capped off a perfect 12-0 season for the team. Along the way, the Cubs were also able to capture the CMC Junior High Tournament Championship by defeating Pierz in game 1, by a score of 32-16. Howard Lake in game 2, by a score of 34-31 and Maple Lake 41-36, in the championship game. The team worked hard each night at practice and was willing to go the extra mile in games by out-hustling their opponents and working as a team defensively. This makes for a great combination and will serve them well as they move forward with their careers. The team showed that they had spent time in the gym shooting the basketball. Their ability to put the ball in the hoop consistently each night, playing with good defensive pressure and rebounding were major keys to victory.
I would like to thank the team for their effort and hard work.
The team and I would like to thank everyone for their support at our games.
It takes a lot of effort from everyone to be successful.
Go Cubs!

EV-W wrestler Zach Blonigen was named MVW with 2 pins and a technical fall at Norwood-Young America Invitational Jan. 5.Blonigen named MVW
Eden Valley-Watkins wrestlers put the clamps on all opponents to secure the title of tournament champions Saturday, Jan. 5, at the Norwood-Young America Invitational. Coach Dan Berg was more than pleased with the team effort. “Well, it is always fun to win a tournament. The boys came ready to wrestle. A lot of our guys dropped a weight class or two so we didn’t know what to expect with their energy level but they did a great job.” The Eagles displayed a true team effort, as every wrestler placed 6th or higher. “Zach Blonigen was named the tournament MVW, with two pins and a technical fall, and I couldn’t be more proud of him. He works very hard every day and it is well deserved,” said Berg. The guys who ordinarily get the “ink” did their jobs, but according to Coach Berg, those who don’t get talked about much; like Tyler Donnay, Grant Winter, Shelby Sheldon, and Lyle Miller, came through big, to help capture the trophy. Said Berg, “I just hope we can use this momentum and carry it through the week, or maybe longer.”
