  • Noxon survives trip, wins

    John Hamilton|Sep 19, 2019

    by John Hamilton The power is with the Power/Dutton-Brady Titans so far this fall, and the Noxon Red Devils hope to shut that power down. In an early-season non-conference battle of unbeaten teams, the 2-0 Red Devils will host the 3-0 Titans on Jenny Lampshire Field Saturday at 1 p.m. in the West End. Coach Bart Haflich and his Devils survived the long trip to Reed Point last week and defeated the Reed Point/Rapelje Renegades 34-24 Friday. “That was a tough game for us, a long bus ride to get there,” Haflich said. “We made lots of mista...

    John Hamilton|Sep 19, 2019

    Until, and if, some other team eventually supplants them, the Plains Trotters are still the defending District 14C champions, and should be treated that way. Coach Jesse Butcher’s Trotters proved they can still play in 2019 with a revamped lineup from last year, outlasting fellow 14C power Hot Springs 25-12, 13-25, 25-20, 26-24 in 14C conference action at Hot Springs Thursday. “Our girls showed up to play and we were able to attack with good, aggressive serving,” Butcher said. “We are playing well together right now and look forward to the res...

  • Devils battle opponents, strep

    John Hamilton|Sep 19, 2019

    As if contesting against other teams is not enough, another road block has been thrown in front of the Noxon Lady Red Devil volleyball team, and that road block is strep throat. With several players afflicted with cases of strep, coach Teri Wilkinson said that she wasn’t sure if the Lady Devils would play in the Arlee Tournament Saturday as scheduled, or if they would stay home in the West End trying to get better. “We are not sure what we are going to do at this point,” Wilkinson said Monday. “We sure would hate to spread our sickness across...

  • Hill gang ends play

    John Hamilton|Sep 19, 2019

    The Over the Hill gang called it a season at River’s Bend with one final round Monday morning, playing a round of “Cheaters’ Golf” for their last nine holes of official league play. Liking the cheating format best – one mulligan at the tee, one foot wedge and one throw were allowed – the notorious Garr brothers, Scott and Dave, made off with the most honors for the day as Dave shot the low cheaters’ gross of 36 and Scott calculated out the low cheaters’ net of 28. In hole play, Dave Garr cajoled the long putts in on Nos. 11 and 13, Scott Garr...
