Luverne Was Victorious
At the Inter-Scholastic Athletic Meet
The Luverne High School Team Captured Everything Worth Having and for the First Time Wrested the Championship from Marshall—Special Credit for the Victory Due to Hyke and Hulett—Royal Reception for the Victors.
Luverne’s High school team returned from the 4th annual field meet of the Inter-Scholastic Athletic League of Southwestern Minnesota “covered all over with glory.” They won first place in the meet and captured the championship, which, for the first time in the history of the association was taken from Marshall. The record was 38 points for Luverne, 25 of which were won by Ray Hyke a 13 by Dwight Hulett, against 20 for Marshall, 20 for Redwood Falls, 18 for Tracy, 10 for Pipestone and 1 for Sleepy Eye. Among the trophies of their victory was the banner offered by Prof. Rae, of the Marshall business college. The notable features of this year’s meet were the splendid achievements of Ray Hyke and Dwight Hulett shown in the subjoined record. Lynn Gillham officiated as judge. The events and the results were as follows:
50 yd dash, Hyke, Luverne, 1st. 5 4-5 sec.
12 lb. shot put, King, Redwood, 1st; Morton, Pipestone, 3rd. 37 feet.

The boys left Marshall at 3:34 Saturday afternoon by way of the Great Northern, and arrived at Luverne on the Burlington freight about 8 o’clock in the evening. They went directly to the high school building where they were met by members of the class and were honored with a royal reception. Refreshments were served under the direction of the girls of the High school class, and a very fine musical program was presented in the main hall on the second floor. There was, of course, great rejoicing among the members of the class, and the victors who had so successfully represented Luverne received in full measure the honors to which they were so justly entitled. The boys are certainly deserving of great credit for their splendid victory, and all our people will unite with the numbers of their class in giving them unstinted praise for Luverne’s share in the honors of their success.
Our boys were very handsomely entertained by the citizens of Marshall, and are enthusiastic in their praise of the Marshall High School class for their hospitality. A grand reception was given for them at the High school auditorium Friday evening, and a class play in three acts was presented. Other entertainments and social events served to make their stay in Marshall a very pleasant one.
The old officers of the association were re-elected, and Marshall was selected as the place of the next meet.
Further particulars are given by our High School reporters in their school notes.

The Lady Pates fought hard all the way to the finish, but their first half deficit was too much to overcome Tuesday night, March 1, in Worthington where they lost to Southwest Christian 75-43. 
The E-gals built an early double-digit lead, but the Patriots were able to keep it within striking distance for most of the first half.
With about four minutes remaining in the first half, things got away from the Patriots as they found themselves trailing 43-18 headed into the break.
The second half went better for the Patriots, but their season came to an end with a 75-43 defeat.
Senior Kenadie Fick had 13 points and six steals for the Patriots while MacKenzie Voss added 10 points and seven rebounds. Sam Moser also contributed for the Lady Pates with six points while Layla Deelstra had five steals.
The Patriots end the season with a 13-13 overall record and a second-place finish in the Red Rock Conference.

Braydon Ripka earned a trip to the state wrestling tournament Friday, March 4, at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul by placing second in the Section wrestling tournament.
For his first match at state, Ripka drew the Section 6A senior from West Central - Ashby, Ruebens Swanson, with a 44-9 record, and it proved to be a tough first match.
In the first period, Ripka worked for his takedown but was blocked every time by Swanson. In the final seconds of the period, Swanson came in for a takedown and went up 2-0.
In the second period, Ripka chose the down position and quickly escaped to his feet, bringing the score to 2-1. Halfway through the period, Swanson picked Ripka’s heel and secured another two points take down, bringing the score to 4-1.
In the third period, Swanson chose the neutral position with both wrestlers on their feet. Neither wrestler was able to score after many setups and attempts. The match ended in Swanson’s favor 4-1.
“Braydon wrestled well the whole match, but he couldn’t quite produce the points he needed,” head coach Jordan Kopp said.
Ripka’s future in the tournament now rested in Swanson’s hands as he needed to win one more match in order for Ripka to wrestle again.
Swanson got pinned the next match to the eventual runner-up in the weight class. Ripka’s season was over.
Ripka ends his career as a Cardinal wrestler in sixth place for all-time wins (113).
“I’m happy to have made it to the state tournament because that was my goal, but it would have been nice to wrestle more than one match,” Ripka said.
“I had a great career as a Luverne wrestler, and I’m proud of what I accomplished.”

The Patriots’ season came to an end after a well-fought battle with Tracy-Milroy-Balaton Saturday afternoon in Worthington. 
The No. 6-seed Patriots took a lead right from the beginning, thanks to a three-pointer by senior Liam Raymon on the first possession.
Seniors Ty Bundesen and Cole Baker each added a three of their own as the Patriots opened up a 14-4 lead.
They maintained the lead all the way through to the end of the first half, going into the locker room with a 32-30 advantage.
The Panthers, however, opened the second half on a 9-0 run and never looked back from there.
The Patriots were never fully able to pull themselves back within reach as they fell 83-67 as time expired.
Baker led the way for the Patriots with 23 points and 10 rebounds in his final game of an impressive career. Senior Drew Leenderts added 12 points by knocking down four three-pointers. Bundesen, Raymon, and Oliver Deelstra each added nine points.
The Patriots ended the season with an 11-13 overall record and a fourth-place finish in the Red Rock Conference.

It was a tale of two halves for the Luverne Cardinal boys’ basketball team during the opening round of the Section 3AA-South tournament. 
The No. 6-seeded Luverne team traveled to No. 3-seeded Fairmont Saturday afternoon. 
After falling behind 28-16 in the first half, LHS more than doubled its offensive output in the second half, outpacing Fairmont 33-23. 
It wasn’t quite enough, however, as the Luverne Cardinals fell by two to the Fairmont Cardinals, 51-49. 
“I was really proud of how we battled back after getting down,” said LHS head coach John Sichmeller. “We didn't play bad to start. We just missed a bunch of shots that we normally make.”
After halftime, Luverne was down by as much as 34-18 five minutes into the second half before LHS went on a 16-0 scoring run to tie the game 34-34.
“The kids stuck with it and didn't get down on themselves and made a great game of it,” Sichmelller said. 
The two Cardinal teams traded baskets and the lead for the remainder of the game. 
With eight seconds left, Fairmont led 50-49 and Luverne had the ball. An offensive foul by Luverne gave the ball back to Fairmont. 
LHS had to foul four times in order to get Fairmont to the free throw line. 
After the FHS player made one of two free throws, the Cardinals threw up a last-second, full-court shot that missed, and Fairmont won the game 51-49. 
Gannon Ahrendt was the leading scorer in the game with 33 points, including four three-pointers. Eli Radtke added seven points for Luverne. 
The Cardinals ended their season with a 10-14 record. 
Saturday’s game was the final game for nine LHS seniors. 
“They were a fun group of kids to coach, and it was fun to see how they improved throughout the year,” Sichmeller said. 
“We didn't start the year off too hot, but we played some good basketball at the end.”

The number of outdoor issues in the Minnesota news these days is mind-boggling. They won’t often show up where you might be reading, but there are game- and fish-related bills all over the place this legislative session. Some of these are going to be hitting a little closer to home than normal for the average outdoor person.
The one I think will get the biggest fight is whether the state should go to all non-toxic shot for hunting. Non-toxic shot shells have been required for decades when waterfowl hunting. It did not take science long to prove that lead shot deposited in the bottoms of lakes and wetlands was being consumed by waterfowl and other shorebirds, resulting in their death.
Non-toxic alternatives several decades ago were not up to the task of making clean kills. Most hunters actually hated the alternatives to lead shot. Many still do today.
The new battle cry is that somehow lead shot is doing damage to other wildlife that is not related to wetland-type habitats. I have not seen any science to prove that pheasants, for example, are ingesting lead shot and dying when out foraging for food.
Recent studies do claim to prove that almost all of the bald eagles and golden eagles tested have some level of lead toxicity in their blood streams. It might not be at high enough levels to kill them but can cause difficulty in flight and reproduction efficiency.
Most of the raptors that die of lead poisoning do so from eating the dead carcasses of hunter-killed deer that were taken with a lead bullet. I do believe this happens, but I researched bald eagle populations, and they have rebounded from 416 nesting pairs five decades ago to over 415,000 nesting pairs today. The eagles don’t seem to be doing too badly according to those numbers.
Non-toxic shot is a lot better today than it was when first introduced, and a load of Federal Prairie Storm steel shot is as deadly as any lead shot shells I have ever used.
The issue with a regulation change to all non-toxic shot on public land is the fact that many hunters have more than a few seasons of lead shell utilization on the shelf in the garage. What are they going to do with all of those boxes when they can no longer be used on public lands, which, by the way, is where a larger percentage of Minnesota hunters recreate? Many other states already require the non-toxic alternatives, and Minnesota is lagging in their conversion to non-toxic shot shells.
The commissioner of the Minnesota DNR used some form of executive order to require non-toxic shot when hunting on scientific and natural areas managed by the state. Depending on where you live, these can be few and far between.
Non-toxic shot can be in the form of steel pellets for bird hunting or copper bullets for deer hunting.  These can be used successfully, but if you try to buy a box of them today, you will go away empty-handed nine out of 10 attempts. How do you change the rules to non-toxic shot when there is none available for purchase?
I think it is only a matter of time before all public lands in all states will require non-toxic shot and bullets.  I think the proper way to handle this would be to change the rules with an effective date about three years down the road.  This would allow ammo manufacturers to catch up to demand and allow hunters to use up the supplies they have on their garage shelves.
Lead is bad and everybody knows it. Those who will fight this change will fight a long-term losing battle. Do not think for a minute that it will go down in history as a little skirmish.  This non-toxic battle will be hard-fought by both sides and could last more than a few years.
There is some talk about a buy-back system that allows hunters to trade in their lead for a non-toxic alternative. Who is going to pay for this? I have no desire for the Game and Fish fund to pay for it.  Those dollars manage fish and wildlife habitat. Those who want lead shot gone the most will need to find a funding source not already being paid for by hunters and fishers.
If you are lucky enough to have private land to hunt on, then your lead shot could likely be used up there until it is gone. But what if the new rule restricts lead shot on any land located in the state regardless if it’s public or private? This stirs up yet another wasp’s nest.
I think the state needs a plan to transition from lead to non-toxic shot and bullets. The transition needs to happen over a period of years. If the state is going to dictate the type of shells and bullets used, the new ammunition needs to be available to those who want to buy it. This is a necessary step, but it needs the proper timing to make the transition as painless as is possible.
I am anticipating a high number of emails from the lead shot lovers over the next few weeks. You can reach me at scottarall@gmail.com

As of Tuesday, March 1, turkey hunters can now buy their licenses for the spring 2022 season.
Licenses can be purchased online at mndnr.gov/licenses/online-sales, by phone at 888-665-4236 or in person wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold.
To help understand hunter distribution, license agents will be asking hunters which permit area they plan to hunt.
The information is useful to the DNR in managing the state’s turkey population. Hunters who identify their permit area are not restricted to hunting in only that area.
Season dates and hunt rules can be found on the DNR’s turkey hunting page, mndnr.gov/hunting/turkey.

Isaiah 40:30-31
30 Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; 31 but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
I read this article from “God Says” and I found it very interesting.
The eagle does not fight the snake on the ground. It picks it up into the sky and changes the battleground, and then it releases the snake into the sky.
The snake has no stamina, no power and no balance in the air. It is useless, weak and vulnerable unlike on the ground where it is powerful, wise and deadly.
Take your fight into the spiritual realm by praying, and when you are in the spiritual realm, God takes over your battles.
Don't fight the enemy in his comfort zone. Change the battlegrounds like the eagle and let God take charge through your earnest prayer. You’ll be assured of clean victory. Pray without ceasing.
I used to pray every day. Now I feel like I can’t get my shoes on without praying. Not that I feel I am more powerful, more anything, but I am weaker now. This does not make any sense, I know, but things just feel so wacky, and I feel like I just have to grab on to whatever I can to keep my bearings.
Grief is hard to fight. So, after a while you just let the grief flow and hang on in prayer. Reading scripture helps, and being able to hear God’s word is a relief for me.
As I think about our world, the Ukrainian invasion, and all of the other things that are happening in this world, they are reminders that the devil is defiantly at work, and so is God!
Our God will hold us up and bring us to a new place of life, a new reality. I ask that you join us in praying for our world, our country and everyone who needs a hand.
Pray without ceasing. Let’s try to do add this to the Lenten season. Instead of giving something up, let’s add prayer every day!
Praying is a way to increase our conversation with God. I invite you to join me in prayer, and I know we will all feel the presence and be amazed at where God takes us!
