HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Lake Benton plays host to match

Pipestone County Star ·

2025/09/26

LAKE BENTON — In the late-2000s, Lake Benton made the decision to begin sending middle and high school students across state lines from Minnesota to South Dakota.

"It's difficult to adjust to court awareness when the gymnasium size changes." Players from both teams also adjusted to a lower ceiling, which the coac...

Boomgaarden said the Arrows had “opportunities to move ball,” but it never quite materialized. Jackson County Central...
