EDGERTON — Edgerton Public High School’s Kami Smit and Elliott Fleischman made the back-end of double-bonus free throws late during overtime. That was just enough to give the Flying Dutch a historic 56-54 win over Southwest Minnesota Christian on Tuesday, Jan. 7. It’s believed this was the first win for Edgerton over SWC in girls basketball since Jan. 24, 2012. Interestingly enough, the final outcome of that contest was eerily similar with the Flying Dutch nipping the Eagles 56-55. SWC was ahead 19-16 at intermission, but Edgerton established a 44-41 edge until Eagle Madyson Fey connected on a 3-pointer to...

MARSHALL — Pipestone Area Schools’ multi-time state-qualifying gymnast Kaysa Douty earned a third-place finish at the Winterfest Invitational Saturday. The competition was conducted at Marshall Middle School, which provides for a unique environment. The Arrow rotation went floor exercise followed by vault, uneven bars and balance beam. “Kaysa had a few glitches on her first two events, but her maturity as an athlete showed in the way she finished the meet,” PAS head coach Stacie Wallace noted. Douty, a sophomore, had the spotlight to herself in the balance beam, and she produced a winning event score of 8.85. That helped...
