2025/10/15

LE SUEUR — The Pipestone Area Schools football team will look to enhance its standing before the Section 3AA playoffs begin next week. With a win over Le Sueur-Henderson tonight, PAS head coach Scott Boomgaarden said the Arrows would most likely be the No. 2 or No. 3 seed. A loss could send the Arrows as low as the fourth seed. The first two teams in this seven-team section will receive a first-round bye, so a win tonight is imperative. “They are big and physical, and don’t give up a lot of p...

2025/10/15

Last year, the Pipestone Area Schools and Southwest Minnesota Christian volleyball teams played a five-set classic. Fast forward to the 2025 encounter, with the Arrows sweeping the Eagles 25-20, 25-11, 25-23. In all fairness, scrappy SWC made PAS work hard to win that third and final set. “I think they were playing with ‘nothing to lose,’” PAS head coach Shelly Hennager said. “They were hitting the floor to get the ball up.” The Eagles closed within one point in the third set as SWC delivered...
