The Kasson-Mantorville boys soccer team battled through a rough stretch this week as they dropped a pair of games. The struggles began with last Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Waseca at home and continued on the road against Red Wing on Tuesday night.  Against the Wingers, the KoMets were playing without senior captain and leading scorer Andy Plein for the second straight game.

The Kasson-Mantorville KoMet football team drew a huge crowd for its annual Homecoming game on Friday night as it looked to carry the momentum from last week’s thrilling victory over Byron in front of hometown fans.Unfortunately, the Cannon Falls Bombers had other ideas and picked up a shocking 14-10 victory over the KoMets.The game started well for the KoMets as they were able to get an interception on the Bombers’ first drive.

There are times in life when it seems like a goal that one wants to obtain is unreachable. Sometimes, that can be as simple as losing a couple pounds or going back to school to pursue a degree. 
However, it tends to get complicated when life gets in the way. People get married. They have a job. They start a family. All of these things take away the focus toward that goal and steer them into a path of complacency.

 With a 1-4 record coming into Friday night’s tilt with Byron, it’s easy to say that things haven’t gone according to plan for the Kasson-Mantorville football team.

At the Southwest Minnesota Challenge, the Kasson-Mantorville volleyball team had issues dealing with consistency. In two matches on Friday night, the team cruised to a pair of two-set victories, but couldn’t keep that momentum going as they dropped three straight matches to throw cold water on their performance.

The Kasson-Mantorville boys soccer team reached the halfway mark of the season last week after going 2-1 to bring their record to 5-2-1 and 3-0 in the HVL.  
Monday night brought a skilled Austin team to KMTelecom Stadium and the fans were treated to a hard fought contest with both teams playing with a lot of heart and intensity.
