Some of us can’t follow the current exploits of the Fulda boys and girls basketball teams without remembering better years. And there were lots of them. The Raider boys played in their last state tournament in 1975, but there have been many solid seasons since then. The Raider girls played in state tournaments in 2002 and 2003 and won state titles in 2006 and 2007. In all the sports, year-round, in fact, Fulda boasts of a remarkable history.

WORTHINGTON -- Payton Sauerbrei said her team may have turned a corner Thursday night in the Worthington Trojans’ 56-46 girls basketball victory over visiting Jackson County Central. Head coach Eric Lindner wasn’t ready to claim as much, but a win is a win, and wins haven’t been very easy to come by this year. Thursday’s triumph moved the Trojans to 5-11 on the season and it avenged an 83-79 overtime loss to JCC on Jan. 8 in Jackson.

WORTHINGTON -- Chances are that there very few long-time athletes in the Worthington area who haven’t met CJ Nelson. It might have been from his 18 years at the Worthington Area YMCA. Nelson, who grew up in the Worthington area and participated in football, basketball and track and field for WHS, began his work at the Y working with the day camp program. He worked his way up to become program director.

WORTHINGTON -- Leighton Gehl arrived about a half-hour late for Minnesota West men’s basketball practice on Monday. Not a problem, however. The 5-11 freshman guard from Fulda attends classes in Jackson, where he’s studying to become an electrician. He usually arrives while his teammates are already on the Worthington court. He just slips on his practice gear and joins right in.

Another NFL game, another officiating controversy. This is getting old. But what is the NFL to do? By now everybody knows that the Los Angeles Rams will face the New England Patriots in this year’s Super Bowl, and you probably also know that the Rams almost surely got there because of an egregiously bad non-call on a pass interference penalty late in the NFC title game.

WORTHINGTON -- Worthington High School wrestling coaches tell their athletes to push, pull and lean on their counterparts early in matches to see for themselves if they can beat ‘em.

He won, 7-4.

LUVERNE -- Life as the hunter has its ups and downs. A year ago, the Luverne High School boys hockey team was the hunted. They were expected to do well, and they did. They were favored to beat Litchfield/Dassel-Cokato in the Section 3A finals, but they were beaten instead, 4-1.
