N-P cross country races in Calmar; Huck takes first

Chris Baldus

CALMAR — Thirty-two seconds. That’s more than three Snapchat videos. That’s longer than you’d count between seeing lightning that’s six miles away and hearing the thunder. It’s also the time that lapsed between Nashua-Plainfield sophomore Kandace Huck’s first-place finish Tuesday night in Calmar and the second-place finisher. Huck won the varsity girls 5K cross county race at the South Winn Invitational with a time of 20:06.4. Central Elkader senior Hannah Asche took second at 20:38.5. As a team, the Huskies girls squad captured sixth place out of a nine team field. Junior Ellie Eick was N-P’s next finisher at 48th … Continue reading N-P cross country races in Calmar; Huck takes first

N-P football controls its postseason future

Chris Baldus

Win and they’re in. Despite Grundy Center’s 35-8 win over Nashua-Plainfield last week, the Huskies football team controls its postseason future. In the race for the last two of the four playoff spots in Class A District 4, N-P and BCLUW have identical records, 2-2 in district and 4-2 overall. N-P holds the tiebreaker because of its 20-6 win on Sept. 24. N-P would clinch the No. 3 spot with wins over its last two opponents of the regular season, AGWSR and Hudson, who are both 2-3 in district. If either defeats the Huskies, they could leapfrog into the postseason, … Continue reading N-P football controls its postseason future

Duck season begins Oct. 1 in Iowa’s north zone

baldissimo

BY THE IOWA DNR Waterfowlers have waited all year for this: for the next three weekends in Iowa, there will be an opening day for duck and goose hunting. The north zone opens on Oct. 1, the central zone opens on Oct. 8 and the south zone opens on Oct. 15. Each zone is open seven days, then close for seven days, before re-opening. Hunter success, of course, depends on migration and Mother Nature’s cooperation. “We’re on track with our 10-year average for migration,” said Orrin Jones, state waterfowl biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “The low temperatures we had mid-week likely spurred … Continue reading Duck season begins Oct. 1 in Iowa’s north zone

PHOTOS: N-P volleyball beats North Butler

Chris Baldus

The man with a towel made complete sense. After a day of temperatures in the 90’s, the Nashua-Plainfield gymnasium was still toasty when North Butler’s volleyball team came to town on Tuesday. Doors were open and big fans were set up to to cool things down. Everyone was soaked, but at least one spectator high in the N-P bleachers came prepared with a hand towel to dry his face. Sweat in the eyes would have distracted from the match playing out in front of him. The Huskies went on to win 3-1, but the sets were tight. The Bearcats won … Continue reading PHOTOS: N-P volleyball beats North Butler
