The AGWSR Cougars gave the 11th-ranked in Class 2A Grundy Center Spartans all they could want Tuesday in Grundy Center. The visitors fell in four sets (25-23, 18-25, 18-25, 24-26) and are now 6-6 overall and 1-2 in the North Iowa Cedar League-West.
Any meet after the Bobcat Invite last week might seem easy. With Class 4A ranked teams and runners scattered throughout that race last week, the Monday’s Ballard Invite in Huxley was just as tough.
The AGWSR Cougars went 1-3 at Saturday’s Aplington-Parkersburg Tournament in Parkersburg. They beat Nashua-Plainfield 2-0 but were swept by Class 2A rateds Denver (2nd), Wapsie Valley (6th), and Grundy Center (11th). AGWSR is now 3-5 on the season.

North Tama has a State championship trophy in its high school showcase. But that was 11 seasons ago. Last year’s squad went just 2-6. The Redhawks are always dangerous with a high-flying offense, however, and started this season 1-0 after beating Belle Plaine 31-14. The AGWSR Cougars travele…
It's week two of the 2021 high school football season. Iowa Falls-Alden will be playing at Hampton-Dumont/CAL for the "Battle of Bradford" trophy; South Hardin will have its home opener against South Hamilton and AGWSR continues its road trip at North Tama.
