The No. 5-seeded Luverne Cardinals traveled to Redwood Falls Friday, Oct. 28, to take on the No. 4-seeded Redwood Falls Cardinals.
In a four-game contest, Luverne fell to Redwood 3-1.
“We did not end the season the way we hoped, but we will all have some great memories from this 2022 season,” said coach Sarah DeBeer.  
Unable to execute and close the gap, Luverne lost the first game 14-25. In Game 2 Luverne made adjustments and was able to keep the game closer but still fell short 18-25.
In Game 3 the LHS Cardinals took the lead early and held on to win 25-12, only to drop the fourth game 14-25.
Kamryn Van Batavia recorded seven kills, 16 digs and completed 14 of 16 serves with two aces.
Emma Beyer finished the night with 24 set assists. Christina Wagner completed 11 of 11 serves and recorded one ace.
Anja Jarchow led the Cardinals with 15 kills in the four games. Carly Olson had 13 digs from the back row. Averill Sehr charted 14 set assists for the match.
Tori Serie had a big night at the net with seven kills, two solo blocks, and three block assists.
Elizabeth Wagner helped the Cardinals with one solo block and three block assists. 
DeBeer commended her 12 senior players for their contributions throughout the season.
“Our seniors are not only very talented athletes, but excellent students,” she said.
“We wish them all the best in all they do in the future, and they will be greatly missed.” 
The Cardinals completed their 2022 season with 15 wins and eight losses.

The Luverne Cardinals football team finished off their season on Saturday with a loss in the Section 3AAA semifinals to the Fairmont Cardinals. After a scoreless first half, Fairmont erupted for 35 unanswered points to secure a 35-0 victory over the Cardinals.
With the loss, Luverne finished the season with a record of five wins and five losses.
With the Luverne offense struggling to move the ball in the first half, the Cardinals leaned heavily on their defense who came up with multiple big plays to keep Fairmont from scoring.
Gavin Baum was able to intercept Fairmont quarterback Brendan Schmidtke’s third-down pass on the first Fairmont possession of the game. Later in the half, the Cardinals got a key fourth down tackle from sophomore Eli Woodley as Fairmont had moved the ball inside the Luverne red zone for the first time in the game.
Unfortunately for Luverne, the defense could only contain the Fairmont offense for one half.
“We played a good first half, especially on defense. Penalties on offense and special teams really hurt us,” said Luverne football coach Todd Oye. “Fairmont had some big plays on offense in the second half. After their score, it looked like we were going to answer their touchdown with one of our own, but we didn’t capitalize on our opportunity and things went downhill from there.”
Fairmont kicked off the scoring in the game on their first offensive possession of the second half. On first and ten from their own 45-yard line, Fairmont running back Landen Meyerdirk took the handoff from Shmidtke and ran 55 yards into the Luverne end zone. After a successful extra point kick, Fairmont led Luverne 7-0 with 11:44 remaining in the third quarter.
Luverne looked like they were ready to answer back on their next possession. After a 24-yard kickoff return from Baum, the Cardinals took over at their own 33-yard line. After a pair of Fairmont penalties, Luverne executed its longest play of the game when Conner Connell was able to complete a pass to Gannon Ahrendt for 28 yards. The play brought the Cardinals down to the Fairmont 10-yard line, but it was the closest Luverne would get as the drive stalled after a Fairmont sack, a Luverne penalty, and ultimately a Fairmont interception.
Fairmont got back into the end zone later in the quarter when Meyerdirk scored again, this time on a 68-yard pass from Schmidtke. Fairmont connected on the extra-point kick and the score was now 14-0 with 2:59 remaining in the third quarter.
Baum took the Fairmont kickoff 55-yards to give the Cardinals excellent field position, but they were unable to advance from there.
The Fairmont offense kept rolling on their next possession and quickly moved the ball 50 yards down the field and into the Luverne end zone once again when Schmidtke completed a 31-yard touchdown pass to receiver David Maakestad. The Fairmont extra point kick was good and the Fairmont lead was now 21-0 with 17 seconds left in the third quarter.
After another defensive stop, the Fairmont offense got another big play, this time from running back Elijah Johnson. Johnson took the first down handoff and ran 69 yards for another Fairmont touchdown, and with the extra point the lead was 28-0 with 7:43 remaining in the fourth quarter.
The Cardinals were able to work the ball down into the Fairmont red zone in their next possession, but on first and ten from the 12-yard line, the Cardinals threw an interception in the end zone which was taken back 100 yards for a Fairmont score by Levi Pooley. After a successful extra point kick, the Fairmont lead was 35-0 with 2:51 remaining in the game.
Neither team scored the remainder of the game, giving Fairmont the 35-0 victory over Luverne.
“It’s always tough to lose the last game,” said Coach Oye. “We had three goals for the season, and they were to get better each week, win the Battle Axe, and get to the section finals. We were able to accomplish two of those three.”

Luverne: 63 rushing yards, 141 passing yards, 204 total yards, 11 first downs, 8 penalties for 55 yards, 3 turnovers.

A couple of days ago I was with some friends and as we were talking, something strange came up. We started confessing our deepest, darkest sins (not really) of how we have misspelled simple words even though we are grown adults. I won’t repeat all of them, but one person confessed to writing “five” as “fife.” It had us laughing, but we then remembered that this is an actual thing that happens in your brain called wordnesia.
Wordnesia happens when you are spelling a word and it feels like there should be another “o” or another “e” in the word, but there isn’t.
Another thing that can happen with our brains when we look at words is called semantic satiation. This is where you look at or say a word so much that you start to forget what it means. You keep reading it over and over, or say it out loud over and over, to the point where you forget the meaning or that it doesn’t even feel like an actual word anymore!
While I can’t explain why these things happen in our minds, I do think that these kinds of things can happen for us as Christians with the Bible. Whether you have read it for one day or 50 years, if we are not careful, we can sometimes read it to the point where we forget what it is – the very Word of God. Not only that, we can stare at it long enough to forget that it means something and that we should believe and obey it.
Hebrews 4:12 tells us that God’s word is living and active. King David, in Psalm 119:103, said that God’s word is sweeter than honey to him. And he was talking about the Old Testament; he didn’t even have the New Testament!
I remember when this kind of Scripture semantic satiation (how I’m defining it) happened to me while I was in college. I had just spent a significant amount of time reading God’s word, and I went up to put my Bible away and didn’t even remember a word I had just read! Of course I remembered the books of the Bible and chapters I was in, but what it actually said, what it was commanding, what it had promised me and declared about God … I had no idea.
How could this happen? Did I not love God enough? Did God not love me?
Neither of those things was true, but I realized how familiar it had become to me. I needed to get out of my Scripture semantic satiation.
Reading the Bible is good. Don’t get me wrong! There has even been a small amount of growth in reading the Bible in America. In a recent study done by Barna (a research group) that researched the state of the Bible among Christians in 2021, it shows that there was an increase of reading the Bible from 2018.
While the numbers are not mind blowing, it is encouraging to know that Christians are growing in reading their Bible on a more regular basis.
But even with an increase in Bible reading, how do we know that Scripture semantic satiation is going on? How do we know that, even with 12 churches in Luverne and many people hearing God’s word and reading God’s word, that we are actually understanding it? That we are not just looking it over and over and over and yet forgetting the actual meaning and purpose of the Word?
Please don’t hear this in a condemning voice or a shameful reprimand but as a genuine question and hopefully an encouragement to reflect on something very important for those of us who are following Jesus. If we have read simple commands like, “Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,” (Matthew 5:44) and “Be imitators of God, as beloved children,” (Ephesians 5:1) yet don’t ever put them into practice, what good is it in knowing them?
I believe there are a couple things that we can do to get out of Scripture semantic satiation if we are finding ourselves there today.

The Luverne High School girls’ tennis team is making history this week as the first girls’ tennis team to earn a Section 3A championship and a berth in the Minnesota State High School League girls’ tennis tournament. The team opened Class A quarterfinal play Tuesday morning with a loss against Providence Academy in Plymouth at Reed-Sweatt Tennis Center on the University of Minnesota campus.
Jon Beers is in his fourth year of coaching the Luverne High School girl’s tennis team. He announced Monday that three of his players — Sarah Stegenga, Katharine Kelm and Roselynn Hartshorn — earned Big South all-conference honors.

With less than two weeks remaining until Nov. 8, the work pace is increasing for local election officials.
“It’s busy here but things are going well,” said Rock County Auditor-Treasurer Ashley Kurtz Monday.
She said her office issued more than 200 absentee ballots as of Monday afternoon, and mail ballot precincts received their ballots last week.
Of Rock County’s 5,600 registered voters, 2,500 vote by mail ballot because their precincts no longer host elections after electronic voting equipment became cost-prohibitive.
Voters in Luverne cast ballots in the Luverne High School gym, and the polling place in Hills is the American Legion. All other precincts vote by mail, or voters from any Rock County precinct may bring their mail ballots in person to the Rock County Courthouse.
Early voting started Sept. 23, and Kurtz had hoped to utilize the courthouse drop box to accept ballots. However, state-required camera equipment arrived too late to be installed before the Sept. 6 deadline, so voters cannot use that option.
“Ballots dropped in the drop box can’t be accepted,” she said. “We do notify these voters so the situation can be fixed.”
A prominent sign informs voters not to use the drop box for ballots; however, two ballots did get dropped there and Kurtz was able to notify those voters and rectify their ballots.
She said staff can open the exterior envelope to identify the voter, but they don’t open the inner envelope which contains the actual ballot and voting selections.
The same process can catch other ballot errors — such as failure to have a witness signature — so that voters are allowed another chance to have their voting selections counted.
“We have noticed an increase in the number of ballots that have come back without the witness portion completed,” Kurtz said.
“Due to Covid, witnesses were not required in 2020, but now they are. We do contact these voters and work with them to get everything corrected so a ballot can be accepted.”
But as the Nov. 8 election deadline nears, she said her staff will be increasingly busy, and it takes time to track down errors.
“It saves everyone time if they make sure they have a witness complete the bottom portion of their absentee or mail ballot envelope,” Kurtz said. “If they don’t have a witness, they can certainly come up here to the courthouse and we can serve as their witness.”
 
Be kind
As voting traffic picks up in her office, Kurtz said she and her staff are increasingly subjected to harassment from conspiracy theorists questioning her office’s election integrity.
“To be honest, it’s been brutal here as far as how staff has been treated by some voters in regard to the mail and absentee voting process, which is something we’ve never really dealt with in years past,” Kurtz said.
“The political atmosphere and allegations of fraud with ballots … If people were fully educated about the process, they’d know better, but they’re believing what they read online and they’re taking it out on staff and it’s taking an emotional toll.”
She said she’d like to be able to explain to each voter how the process works in order to show how the system’s checks and balances work to spot errors and potential fraud.
 
Ballot barcodes
Ballots are scanned one at a time into a voting machine that records information on a jump drive. At the close of the polls, the drive gets transferred to a secure computer that’s not connected to the internet. “It’s just another secure step in the process,” Kurtz said.
That computer then generates a jump drive that gets uploaded to the Minnesota Secretary of State Office where results are posted online at sos.mn.us.
“We literally account for every ballot – they have a barcode that gets scanned — from start to finish,” Kurtz said.
“If we scan a certain number at the start of the election, there can be no discrepancy at the end … That’s how I know we’re accurate here.”
The barcode system also allows voters to track their ballots once they’re cast early, absentee and by mail through https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/AbsenteeBallotStatus.aspx.  
“This website will show whether or not we’ve received the ballot back and/or if it has been accepted yet,” Kurtz said.
“We try to process everything as fast as we can, but sometimes it may take a day or so for it to be processed. If there are ever any questions, they can always call, too.”
She said they’re currently testing machines and will start processing ballots as soon as this week.

Luverne High School drama department will present two one-act plays for the fall production season.
The students will present “One Lane Bridge” and “Hamlet and Zombies” Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 27-29, in the school’s performing arts center.
The plays continue a theme the school’s marching band (whose field routine was called “Haunted) began.
Director Shawn Kinsinger said the drama students requested to perform plays in the spooky/horror genre for two reasons.
“First was the proximity of the performance dates to Halloween,” he said. “Secondly, the marching band had just revealed that their show was going to be the same theme. There is crossover between the two activities and there was a lot of hype about the idea.”
However, one-act plays generally don’t involve large casts, as Luverne’s fall activity usually boasts more than 20 students.
“After looking at the options for high school-aged actors and actresses, there just wasn’t a show that fit our cast as far as size,” Kinsinger said. “I started looking at one-acts and found a couple that would get everyone involved. It also allowed for a bit of flexibility.”
“One Lane Bridge” by Stephen Gregg is a ghost story that takes place on a canyon road in Colorado.
The main character is 16-year-old Eli (portrayed by Chase Matthiesen) who is driving through the mountain canyon. He doesn’t know anything about his soon-to-be passenger, Samantha (Alex Perkins), except that she’s a friend of a friend that needs a ride to Home Depot.
Eli’s terrible driving soon sparks an argument, and the conversation takes an odd, dark turn. Eli’s story is haunting but Samantha’s story leaves Eli driving too fast, not because he’s going to be late, but because he wants out of the car.
The half-hour production contains several narrators who assist in telling the haunted stories.
“Hamlet and Zombies” by Will Averill provides tongue-in-cheek horror humor that is more familiar to audiences, since the 45-minute play is based on William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.”
Something is rotting in the state of Denmark, and Hamlet (portrayed by Parker Carbonneau) may be the only one in on the humor.
With the help of his friend Horatio (Steven Woods) and cousin Laertes (Bri Kinsinger), Hamlet solves a mystery of his mother’s (Grace Ingebretsen) marriage to his uncle (Xavier McKenzie). He observes his father’s transformation from king to zombie king (Chris Bonilla), saves his love, Ophelia (Abby Boltjes), and fends off both the Norwegians and zombie hoards.
Other cast members include Polonius (Zander Carbonneau), Voltimand (Katherine Pizel), Rosencrantz (Joelia Lopez), Guidenstern (Ashlyn Johnson), Marcellus (Hallie Pergrande), Bernardo (Elizabeth Mulder), Francisco (Rebecca Hoogland), Raynaldo (Emily Carrillo), Fortinbras (Leigha Ehlers), sentinel (Brooke Vos), grave diggers (Myles Trimble and Bethany Behr), Captain (Jessica Tunnissen), ambassador (Ayah Alinizi) and lead priest (Kaitlin Conger).
Conger also serves as stage manager along with Travis Schempp. Also on the production crew are Egypt Forrest, Zoey Berghorst, Camryn Aukes and Isabella Benson.
Cost is $4 for students and $6 for adults.
Each of the three performances begins at 7 p.m.
