Packers fan in a Vikings world

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/10/13

Well, the cat is out of the bag. Yes, we cheer for the Green Bay Packers in our home. Ironically my husband and I both grew up Green Bay Packer fans. He is from Hastings, Minn. and I am from Timber Lake, S.D. However, we both have cheered on the cheeseheads for a long time. I remember growing up putting up a poster of Reggie White and Brett Favre on the wall in my bedroom. These posters were right next to Teresa Weatherspoon from the WNBA New York Liberty and the legendary Michael Jordan. Mee...

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Offensive struggle (or...

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/10/11

For four quarters, the Pipestone Area Schools’ football team kept rival Luverne out of the end zone. Overtime was a different story with both teams receiving one possession beginning at the 10-yard line in the south end of Paulsen Field. On third down from just inside the 5, Jaydon Johnson pushed behind the Cardinals’ massive offensive line and scored the game-winning TD, sending Luverne players scurrying onto the field — and also bringing about a postgame fireworks celebration. The final. Lu...

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Dig this, PAS sweeps Luverne

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/10/11

The Pipestone Area Schools volleyball team didn’t allow itself to be rattled. Not during the first set when PAS and rival Luverne were running neck-and-neck on the scoreboard. And certainly not in the third and deciding game as the Cardinals established a five-point lead before the Arrows stormed back for a Big South Conference sweep 28-26, 25-19, 25-20 in front of a raucous crowd at PAS gymnasium on Thursday, Oct. 3. “It was a match we played with confidence from the start,” PAS head coach D...

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/10/11

After last Friday’s loss to rival Luverne, the big question is this: “How does the Pipestone Area Schools’ football team respond?” Arrow head coach Scott Boomgaarden said the key is to work on offensive execution, especially in light of Luverne shutting out PAS — and holding them to less than 200 total yards in the Battle Axe loss. Such diligence will be seen when PAS entertains Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial in the regular-season home finale at Paulsen Field. This game will mark Parent...
