R-P volleyball shines in busy week

The Lady Trojans were busy last week, participating in a competitive tournament in Wabasha on Saturday Sept. 15, then visiting Dover-Eyota (Sept. 17) and hosting Winona Cotter (Sept. 18). Though the W-K tourney featured some rugged competition, the ballers were back on track for the single matches.

The Rushford-Peterson football team is unbeaten at the halfway point of the season after posting a 34-0 win at Wabasha-Kellogg on Friday night.

The Trojans’ defense was stingy and the offense had enough points on the board by the second quarter to send the Falcons to their fourth-straight loss of the season. R-P is now 4-0 (4-0 District) as they look to the second half of their schedule.

LARP runners visit Winona for Jim Flim Invitational

Lewiston-Altura/Rushford-Peterson cross country teams went head-to-head with some of the region’s top runners last weekend when they ran in the Jim Flim Invitational. Big-school teams from Minnesota and Wisconsin participated, putting the LARP runners to one of their stiffest tests of the season. The Flim Invitational, normally held at the rugged and hilly course at St. Mary’s University, was moved from that location due to wet course conditions. Instead, runners toured a flatter course near the Winona Senior High School.

The Lady Trojans bagged another road win at Houston last week, then enjoyed a solid victory over PEM in their first home game of the season. After besting the Bulldogs, it was back on the bus for a matchup against a tough Lewiston-Altura squad.

Lewiston-Altura Rushford-Peterson (LARP) not only had the individual champion, but placed third as a team at the Dover-Eyota Invitational Sept 11. LARP Coach Matt Kingsbury called their effort “very positive. The boys have a lot of work to do, but they’re really improving. In addition to Luke O’Hare out-kicking two PEM runners to win, his time was a minute and half faster than last year.”

It’s never easy winning on the road, but the Trojans volleyball team pulled it off twice last week. Visits to Three Rivers Conference rival Chatfield (Sept. 4) and non- conference foe La Crescent (Sept. 6) produced a pair of confidence-instilling victories for the R-P girls.

Only 30 golfers showed up to take advantage of the perfect weather this past Monday.

Taking first place was the team of Paul Benson and Mike Bublitz, who shot a one-over par 37 and net 27. Just a half-point behind was the team of Lupy Myhro and Steve “Ole” Olson, who combined to shoot a net 27-1/2 for second place.
Two teams tied for third place:

Tom Bayer and Doug Rislove matched the net 28-1/2 shot by the team of Charlie Borth and Rocky Harpel. There were only two birdies recorded, which is very unusual!
