BLUE EARTH -- They can score in bunches. And they can take the ball away in bunches, too. The Jackson County Central Huskies, who rivals hoped might fall a little ways back to earth this season after graduating two all-conference players following back-to-back state boys basketball tournament trips, are still flying high.

WORTHINGTON -- They start swimmers young on the Worthington Stingrays. Jamie Newman, now an established leader on the team in her senior year of high school, was far from it seven years ago when she joined the team.

So I’m sitting behind the scoring table at a girls high school basketball game last week and there’s a person behind me who’s displaying such a total lack of sportsmanship that I almost want to laugh. Except I don’t laugh. The fan accuses the refs of bias and complains so loudly that I fear it’s about to give me a headache.

WORTHINGTON -- It didn’t really matter Thursday night that the Worthington Trojans gave up nine 3-point shots and had just two of their own against visiting Fulda. No, that doesn’t matter when they can score so well around the basket. Worthington hit 53 percent of its field goals in a 92-64 boys basketball win over the Raiders. The passing was sharp and the shots fell all around.

The Southwest Christian boys basketball team is off to a great start, but it’s hard to know what’s more important to their early success -- their physical abilities or their team spirit. On the court, their quickness elevates a defensive game that relies on pressure. Spirit-wise, they’re hard-working and unselfish.

WORTHINGTON -- When Kuol Chol entered Minnesota West Community and Technical College as a freshman, he was regarded as a remarkable talent, albeit still somewhat raw. He played well, positioning himself nicely in his sophomore year to be a real force with the Bluejays. Shortly before the 2017-18 campaign began, however, Chol had a decision to make. His coach, Kris Babler, left the school suddenly. What was he to do?

WORTHINGTON -- Pipestone Area’s defense strapped the Worthington Trojans and Tyl Woelber went on a tear to begin the second half as the Arrows earned a 57-39 boys basketball victory at Worthington High School Thursday night. The two Big South Conference teams were deadlocked 22-22 at halftime, but Woelber drained a 3-point shot to start the second half. He scored the first 9 points for PA after intermission as the Arrows worked out to a 31-24 lead they were able to stretch.
