LESTER PRAIRIE, MN – After a little bit of a slow start, the Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity Bulldogs football team turned things up a notch in the third quarter on their way to a 35-6 win over St. John’s Prep.
“I thought we played a good game. We may have started a little slow, but part of that was we were trying to establish a complete game, not just one or two things,” head coach Joe Scoblic said. “In the second half we got it all going.”
In the end, the winless Johnnies were no match for LP/HT, despite the slow start.
LP/HT ran for 273 yards in the win, improving its Minnesota Christian Athletic Association record to 4-0 on the year, while jumping to 5-1 overall.

WINSTED, MN – It may have taken over two years, but high school varsity football will be coming back to Winsted Friday, Oct. 10.
That is when the Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity football team will be hosting Providence Academy in Minnesota Christian Athletic Association play at 7 p.m.
This game is a big one, and not just because of the two-year hiatus Weinbeck Field in Winsted has experienced from varsity football.
Providence Academy and LP/HT are the lone two undefeated teams in the MCAA, and the winner will lock up at least a share of the conference championship.
It is also Holy Trinity’s homecoming football game, something they didn’t have last year.

Change isn’t always easy, nor does it always stick.
That was the case for the North Star League in 2008, as they went through a number of changes.
First off, the league expanded to 17 teams with the addition of Class C teams Big Lake and Elk River.
Then, the league realigned its divisions so that the five Class B teams were split up into three divisions along with the 12 Class C teams.
Then, lastly, the Class C teams in the three divisions were all dispersed into three different regions come playoff time.
All three of those moves will be tinkered with this upcoming season, with several of the changes already taking place.

It’s homecoming week at Dassel-Cokato High School, and the Charger football team is looking to turn its two-game skid around with a big win over Wright County Conference foe Annandale.
Not only is this homecoming week, but it is also the final home game of DC’s season, which means it could also be the Charger seniors’ final game at Charger Field. This should give DC some extra incentive to win.

Inconsistency plagued the Charger football team (2-3, 1-3 WCC) on both sides of the ball as it fell to Litchfield 33-20, Sept. 26 at Dassel-Cokato High School.
At times, the team seemed to be riding a high streak, as the defense created turnovers and DC quarterback Andy Haataja moved the ball through the air towards the Dragon end zone.
At other times, however, the Charger offense was stagnant, incapable of moving the ball, and the defense was out of place, giving up a pair of 73-yard touchdown runs.
It was a game full of high highs, and low lows, but the lows were simply too much for the Chargers to fight back from.
