Mail Early Letters To Santa Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus — and the Postal Service can help you prove it when Santa replies to your child’s letter, complete with a North Pole postmark. Steps for your child to get a letter back from Santa: 1. Have your child write a letter to Santa and place it in an envelope addressed to: Santa Claus, North Pole. 2. Later, when alone, open the envelope and write a personalized response. 3. Insert the response letter into an envelope and address it to the child. 4. Add the return address: SANTA, NORTH POLE, to the envelope. 5. Ensure the envelope is affixed with a First-Class Mail stamp, such as a recently issued Charlie Brown Christmas stamp. 6. Place the complete envelope into a larger envelope — preferably a Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope — with appropriate postage, and address it to North Pole Postmark, Postmaster, 4141 Postmark Drive, Anchorage, AK 99530-9998 “Letters from Santa” must be received by the Anchorage, AK postmaster no later than Dec. 15.

"December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” With these words, Pres. Franklin Roosevelt asked a joint session of the US House of Representatives and Senate to declare that a state of war existed between Japan and the United States. Americans would officially join the largest human conflict in history. The Otter Tail County Historical Society will commemorate this event Monday, December 7 at 2 p.m. at the Minnesota Veterans Home in Fergus Falls. This special edition of the monthly Military Roundtable will feature Myron Broschat of Fergus Falls, retired Otter Tail Power Company manager, historian and veteran. His dramatic retelling of the events leading up to Pearl Harbor is a fitting tribute as we mark the 74th anniversary of US involvement in World War II. There is no cost for the program but donations to the Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign will be gladly accepted. For more information, email [email protected].

Schumacher Joins Honor Flight Otter Tail Celebration Of Life Earnsto Letter to the Editor TelcomLetter Broadband the Editor Grants Graveside Services In November of 2011, my husband and I moved into our cabin on Clitherall Lake. From the very first day, we have been welcomed into the entire communities of Clitherall and Battle Lake. During the past four years, we have come to enjoy the celebrations and excitement in this land of very clear water! The people we have met have been so friendly and open to us and our family! But what happened Saturday, November 14th was something very memorable. The two of us were enjoying an evening out at Stella's. When it came time to pay the bill, our waitress shared with us that the three students that had been dining at a table near the windows had paid for our meal! We were overwhelmed and surprised that the three of them would have even noticed us let alone pay for our meal! We want the three of you to know that this act of generosity was so unexpected! As my husband and I inquired about your identities, we did find out that you are two seniors and a junior at Battle Lake High School. Once again, the Battle Lake community through these young people showed an extra amount of kindness to us. How great it is to know that the students, families and community are caring and welcoming to those of us who enjoy our time at the cabin! May your Thanksgiving joy be extended a little bit longer because you reached out to two people who truly felt your generosity! Thank you and we hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Curt and Carol Peterson Bloomington Rep. Bud Nornes, R-Fergus Falls, announced Otter Tail Telcom will receive a pair of grants totaling more than $450,000 to assist in improving Internet access for underserved portions of the region. The grants are two of 15 – totaling $11 million – announced by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. Otter Tail Telcom's grants include more than $295,000 to extend its existing fiber cable at the northern fringe of Fergus Falls to serve 56 households, seven businesses and one cell tower. DEED indicates the total cost is $621,962, with Otter Tail Telcom providing a 52 percent local match. The project will improve broadband service for numerous businesses and residents, while also bringing a new industrial park to shovelready status. The other grant is more than $164,000 to help build out middle-mile broadband infrastructure north of Fergus Falls, where interstate highways 59 and 94 intersect. The project will provide highspeed Internet service to a number of households and nearby community institutions. Areas north and south of Elizabeth are included. The project is estimated to cost nearly $346,000 in total, with Otter Tail Telcom providing a 53-percent match. A news release from DEED indicates "all customers served by Park Region Telephone Co., Otter Tail Telcom and other neighboring telecoms will benefit from the added connectivity. Remote clinics and hospitals associated with Sanford Health will have a seamless data flow of records, x-rays, scans and other medical information. Schools and libraries in the region also will benefit." "Congratulations to those involved in successfully earning these grants," said Rep. Bud Nornes, R-Fergus Falls. "These projects will have a variety of benefits for families and businesses in our area, and also create further opportunities for development. Improvements like these are what we envisioned when the Legislature provided funding for these grants. It is good to see some of that money land locally."

Malachi 3:1-7b Phillipians 1:2-11 Luke 3:1-14 [15-20] Sunday, December 6, 2015 Second Sunday of Advent Rising to the Occasion A modicum of stress in our lives is to be expected, and may even be a good thing. Rising to the occasion to meet a challenge at work or school almost always makes us mentally and emotionally stronger, just as exercise stresses the body and makes us physically stronger. But sometimes we are overtaxed by problems which are seemingly beyond our abilities and then stress can wear us down. Sometimes the problem is too big to handle by ourselves, and we need to ask for help. At other times problems keep coming one after the other, until we just can’t cope any longer. Often it’s the little annoyances at the end of a long day that trigger the meltdown, not the big problems that came early on. We are usually better able to meet challenges early in the day, before fatigue sets in, and thus it may be wise to plan your day and its potential problems accordingly. It helps to know that in the grand scheme of things, most of our day-to-day problems won’t be remembered a year from now, and certainly not in a hundred years. It also helps to know that God “has our back” and should be called on to help with all of our problems, both large and small. – Christopher Simon Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Proverbs 3:5 Key To Happiness by Pastor Paul Twist Lakes Community Church PO Box 92 • Clitherall, MN 56524 www.lakescommunitychurch.org An old gospel hymn popped into my head as I began writing this devotional, perhaps because of all the discouraging news in the media these days. The killing and fighting, persecution against Jews and Christians—all create an atmosphere of fear even though the violence is not in our backyard. Viewing the world as a whole is distressing, but the song “God is Still on the Throne” came to mind. I remember hearing it as the theme song for a Christian radio program, and as I looked for it in an old hymnal, I was encouraged to find the words again. It has four verses, with this chorus: “God is still on the throne, and He will remember His own: Though trials may press us and burdens distress us, He never will leave us alone; God is still on the throne, He never forsaketh His own: His promise is true, He will not forget you. God is still on the throne.” When Kittie Louise Suffield wrote those words in 1929, world conditions may not have been as alarming as they are today, but it wasn’t long before the Great Depression when men who lost all in the stock market were jumping out of tall buildings to their deaths. The assurance that God is still on the throne, that He has final control, is made clear in His holy word. There are many places in the Bible where it seems God can’t or won’t step in and put down the violence, such as this one in Psalm 11:4-7: “The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them. The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates. On the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates, On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot. For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face.” You may ask why God doesn’t judge the world right now. The answer is that God’s timing is different than ours. He also says, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise . . . He is patient . . . not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). The news doesn’t always report how faithful, fearless believers in Christ are sharing the good news of the gospel even as they lose their lives for doing so. Surprisingly, many violent Christhaters have received salvation and new life in Christ. Yes, God is still on the throne, and on time. May believers in Christ faithfully pray and trust His timing. ‘A Christmas Journey to Freedom’ at Lakes Community Dec. 6 The Lakes Community Church of Clitherall will be showing the movie, “A Christmas Journey To Freedom” on Sunday December 6th at 7 p.m. Come along on an exciting adventure as you travel back in time to follow a Christmas Journey to freedom along the Underground Railroad.

Offers Resource for Navigating the Recovery Journey Caregiving can be a 24-7 commitment — and it’s one of the toughest jobs around. Each November, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association recognizes National Family Caregivers Month to acknowledge the millions of family caregivers who are caring for their loved ones with a chronic disease. National Family Caregivers Month also recognizes that caregivers have to take care of themselves to take care of their loved ones, despite the many roles they play. Avoiding burnout and staying refreshed may not be top of mind, but they’re some of the things that matter most. “At the American Heart Association we know that recovering from a stroke or cardiac event can impact survivors, caregivers, family and friends. That’s why we developed the Support Network, a virtual community dedicated to serving heart disease and stroke survivors and their caregivers,” said Barb Ducharme, American Heart Association Executive Director. Caring for a loved one can be rewarding. But it’s also among life’s most challenging roles. It can be stressful and uncertain when you’re suddenly thrust into the role of caregiver. To succeed, you must also take care of your needs. Through the free support network, our goal is to improve the knowledge, healthy behaviors and quality of life for heart and stroke survivors, caregivers and family. The Support Network gives the American Heart Association/American Stroke Associa- Erlandson, Mellon And Friends “Believe” Dec. 11 Get in the spirit of the season and find your reason to “Believe!” at the Wendy & Linda holiday show at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, December 11 at A Center for the Arts, 124 W.

We have had it pretty good with an October that was the warmest in history and a long, beautiful fall that gave us all the time to finish the fall work without getting caught with a surprise storm like we have had in the past. The crops are in the bin, the leaves are all taken care of and now we can relax!!! The beautiful fall weather has been good to the high school football season. The OTTERTAIL BULLDOGS had a phenomenal season going to the semi-finals before falling to the eventual state champion. The team can be proud of all the hard work and dedication that it took to get that far, and if not for some injuries to critical players, the outcome may have been different. Our own grandson had a successful season with the MAPLE GROVE CRIMSON, again getting to the semifinals and finishing oh so close to getting the big prize. It was fun to watch via streaming on the computer as each game was exciting to say the least. Oh what memories that called for even though my own experience went back (could you believe) some 60 years. All the teams in Minnesota enjoyed a remarkable year concluding with the final games in “Bank” stadium that is the dream of any kid who enjoys sports. Uncle Jim and Dawn are again on a Thanksgiving journey out west to visit grandchildren to celebrate this annual festival that marks the beginning of the “feasts” that mark the changing of the seasons. It gives me the opportunity do some expression of my own ideas. It is a bit much though, to see the Christmas decorations on display before the right time comes. It is interesting to note that everyone recognizes the emphasis on the commercial side but not much is done to get back to the real meaning of what the Holidays are about. Somehow we must keep the Greatest Gift that our Lord has provided for us before us in the Birth of the gift of Salvation that is available to all. With all the turmoil that is taking place in the whole world because of some fanatics, we must remember with patience, that we need something to guide us through turbulent times. Hopefully the good Lord will see to the resolution of the problems that the whole world faces. It is hard to understand how some think violence is the answer to achieving the goals they are striving for. The political situation in our beloved country is also something to ponder with all the blathering and arguing and pointing of fingers to try to establish blame for things that have happened in the recent past. What a plethora of candidates on both sides of the situation. Sometimes it is hard to make a choice when no one has come forth with ideas that should show common sense. My old friend said correctly the “common sense isn’t common anymore”. Let us pray that somehow reason prevails and we get some choices that are good for our country and the times we live in. Again we get to the time of year when shopping gets to be emphasized with “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” are hyped to the max. It may be important to some part of the population but it doesn’t get my motor to run any better. The important thing is that we don’t forget the real meaning of the season. Let us not forget what Advent on November 29th stands for and follow our own conscience to get our thoughts in order. I came across a test for “older kids” to see if we recognize some familiar things from the past. The first question was, “After the Lone Ranger saved the day and rode off into the sunset, the grateful citizens would ask, “Who was that masked man?” In variably someone would answer, ”I don’t know, but he left this behind!” What did he leave behind? You guessed right----- it was ”a silver bullet!” I think our Lord gives us a “silver bullet” in faith to conquer and understand the difficulties of our times!!!!! Battle Lake Senior Center tion the bandwidth to touch so many more people who need emotional support. Support Network members can: · Start or join a conversation. Get and give support from people who understand. · Join a group — or start your own!

It’s for you or someone you care about that’s dealing with a heart or stroke issue. · Meet others like you. Share your story. Find and give support. In addition to the Support Network here are some tips for caregivers to stay refreshed: • Take a 10 or 15-minute walk a couple of times a day, even if it’s just around the yard. • Choose a quiet space in the house where you can go take a few deep breaths, read a book, pray, meditate, listen to music, sing, write in your journal, chat with a friend on the phone or just rest quietly for a few minutes. • Schedule timeouts. Choose a time when your loved one is typically sleeping, eating, watching a TV program or seems to be at their best during the day. They will get accustomed to your little timeouts after a while and stop resenting your privacy and interrupting you. • Insist on these moments in a gentle way and reward your loved one when you’ve refreshed yourself. •Download Caregiver Resources guide.

Conduit bonds are issued by governmental units such as Otter Tail County on behalf of private entities. They are normally projects by non-profit entities, an example being public housing. On November 10 a conduit bond public hearing was held jointly by Otter Tail County and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). Later, the county board approved an agreement that will not exceed $7 million of $17.5 million needed for rehabilitation of senior housing for River Bend Apartments in Fergus Falls and Kaleva Apartments in New York Mills. Addressing the county board about conduit bond details were Nick Leonard, Otter Tail County’s new director of economic development and tourism, and Financial Advisor Nick Anhut of Ehlers and Associates. County commissioners, when approving these types of financial arrangements, want to ensure that county taxpayers are protected if something goes awry. “Conduit financing is typically backed by either the conduit Ashby borrower’s credit, or funds pledged toward the project by outSchool side investors,” said Leonard. “If a project fails and the security goes into default, it falls to the conduit borrower’s financial Lunch obligation, not the conduit issuer (ie. county and HRA).” Menu The Schuett Companies has assisted senior citizens and people with disabilities in finding affordable housing the past 40 years. They work closely with representatives of the federal Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). Schuett also emphasizes that it works closely with state and federal agencies in order to provide housing assistance to those in need in Otter Tail County and other areas of Minnesota.

Minnesota State Fire Marshal Bruce West is asking Minnesotans to help make this a holiday season without heartache. His goal? No more residential fires or fire fatalities this year. “We need people to be part of the solution by taking fire prevention seriously,” West said. “We do not want anyone else to suffer the heartache that comes along with a house fire.” Forty-six people have died in fires so far this year in Minnesota compared 44 in all of 2014. There were 41 fire deaths at this time last year. Why can the holiday season and winter months dangerous for fires? The three leading causes of Minnesota fires last year — cooking, heating and open flame — are holiday staples. West offers the following tips to keep your home and family safe this holiday season: Cooking • Never leave a hot stovetop or oven unattended. • Smother a stovetop grease fire with a pan lid and turn off the burner. Heating • Keep space heaters three feet from anything combustible. • Do not leave space heaters unattended and turn them off while you’re sleeping. Open flames • Leave three feet between a candle and anything that can burn; use flameless candles. • Holiday decorations are combustible. Keep them three feet from any fuel source. • Never burn gift wrap in a fireplace; it burns too fast and hot to be controlled. Be Part of the Solution The SFMD is asking people to share what steps they’re taking to prevent fires in their homes using the hashtag #FireFree on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Do you test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms every month? Snap a photo and show us on social media. Do you have a quick and easy way to remember to practice your safe escape plan? Share it. Your tip or photo could help save someone’s life. Since 1990, there has been an average 81 residential fires over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and 187 residential fires between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. Last year, 20 of Minnesota’s 44 fire deaths occurred cold-weather months.

This grant program provides funding to test ideas with the potential to conserve natural resources and energy, enhance profitability, and improve life on the farm. All funded projects are summarized in the MDA’s annual Greenbook publication: www.mda.state.mn.us/greenbook, which is an excellent resource for potential applicants. Farmers receive priority, but the program also funds Minnesota nonprofit and educational organizations, as long as Minnesota farmers are meaningfully involved in the project. The program is intended to help people try new things: while applicants should be optimistic about their idea, they don’t have to guarantee success. Projects can last up to three years, and applicants may receive up to $25,000, although many applicants request less. The deadline to apply is December 15, 2015. Funds will be available in the spring of 2016. Application materials are available at: http://www.mda.state.mn.us/grants/grants/demogrant.aspx or by calling 651-201-6012.

Tell Them You Saw It In The Review! Battle Lake Review Wednesday, December 2, 2015 Page 8 DNR Approves Groundwater Area Plan For North and East Metro The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources this week approved a plan designed to ensure adequate supplies of groundwater within the state’s first designated groundwater management area. The designated area includes all of Washington and Ramsey counties, along with portions of Anoka and Hennepin counties. The North and East Metro Groundwater Management Area Plan lays out five broad objectives and describes specific actions the DNR will take to ensure adequate groundwater supplies to meet human needs while protecting lakes, streams and wetlands. The plan was developed over two years by DNR staff and an advisory team of nearly two dozen representatives of local government, industry and other agencies. “Here in the land of 10,000 lakes and hundreds of streams and rivers, it’s easy to take water for granted,” said DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr. “But in some parts of Minnesota, such as the north and east metro area, growing demands on groundwater could place our aquifers and other resources at risk if we’re not careful. This plan explains how the DNR will work to make sure our use of groundwater remains sustainable.” A statewide analysis of groundwater resources identified the north and east metro region as an area of concern because it has many surface waters connected to and affected by groundwater levels, and the area’s population and water use are increasing. The plan provides a framework within which the DNR will work with major water users, including municipalities. This cooperative effort will promote conservation, protect surface waters and water quality, improve the groundwater appropriations permitting process, and resolve any conflicts that might arise among users. The plan addresses a broad set of challenges in this large geography, and also addresses issues related to several specific features such as White Bear Lake, the wet prairie complexes of Anoka County and certain trout streams. Over the plan’s first five years, the agency will meet periodically with users and other stakeholders to provide updates and hear concerns. At the end of that time, the DNR will review the plan and its results to determine future actions. The North and East Metro Groundwater Management Area is one of three groundwater management areas being established around the state. The other two are in central Minnesota’s Bonanza Valley just west of St. Cloud, and around the Straight River near Park Rapids in north-central Minnesota. More information, including plans and maps for the North and East Metro Groundwater Management Area, can be found at www.dnr.state.mn.us/gwmp/area-ne.html. County Board Ready To Back Delays in Stocking More Muskies By Tom Hintgen Otter Tail County Correspondent The Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners, hearing from many of their constituents opposed to stocking of more muskies in area lakes, is close to adopting a resolution in support of those constituents. County board members, on November 24, stopped short of passing a resolution until correct wording for a resolution can be drafted. However, in the near future, it appears that the board will likely pass a resolution urging the DNR to delay stocking of more muskies. “We as a county board will likely ask the DNR to provide further research,” said Commissioner Doug Huebsch of Perham. “We need assurances that stocking of more muskies will not have adverse effects in area lakes.” The county board heard from Lake Lizzie lake association representative Mike Johnson and Dave Majkrzak, past president of the Pelican Lake Association and current president of the Otter Tail Coalition of Lake Associations (COLA). Both oppose more muskie stocking in area lakes. Muskies were introduced in the 1960s and 1970s to Pelican Lake, West Battle Lake and Beers Lake at Maplewood State Park. Now, a plan by the DNR calls for stocking of more muskies in one of three county lakes next year. On the list are Franklin Lake and Lake Lizzie northeast of Pelican Rapids and Loon Lake near Vergas. State statute gives Minnesota DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr and the state DNR office the authority to make final decisions on stocking of muskies in designated lakes. Area fishing guides and muskie fishing association members say that muskies coexist with other game fish in Minnesota without detrimental effects. However, the concern of many local property owners at area lakes is that muskies will devour many game fish such as walleye, bass and crappies. The guides and association members expressed their views during an open meeting October 29 in Fergus Falls, attended by DNR Commissioner Landwehr, area state legislators and other officials. Opponents also attended the gathering. “Those in favor (of more muskies stocking) were mostly comprised of people who don’t live here in Otter Tail County,” said Huebsch. “When a final decision is reached, half of you will be happy and the other half not happy,” said Landwehr who traveled from St. Paul to Fer- gus Falls for the October 29 open meeting, at the request of area legislators. “Too much weight in favor of muskies stocking came from muskie association members such as those from Fargo-Moorhead,” said Johnson. “We at Lake Lizzie are among several lake associations that have expressed opposition to the DNR plan for stocking of more muskies.” Majkrzak said he and fellow residents of Pelican Lake have concrete concerns for the DNR plan. “Keep in mind that new state legislation protects all muskies up to 54 inches in length,” said Majkrzak. “Fish that size can weigh close to 35 pounds. Previously, muskies 49 inches or more could be caught and kept.” If stocking of muskies in Franklin Lake, Lake Lizzie or Loon Lake were approved by the DNR, this wouldn’t take place until September 2016. In the meantime, county commissioners appear to be united in their beliefs that further research is needed to assure that stocking of more muskies will not have adverse effects in area lakes. Official wording for a county board resolution is likely to be available before the end of calendar year 2015. The board likely will vote on the resolution sometime in December.

So far this year during special hunts and the archery, early antlerless and firearms seasons, hunters have harvested 145,383 deer, up from the 2014 to-date harvest total of 128,134. Preliminary numbers show that the number of deer registered rose 13.5 percent from 2014. Buck harvest during the firearms season was up 18.4 percent from last year, indicating that the population has in fact grown from its low point two springs ago. Zone 1 total firearms harvest was up 11 percent, Zone 2 was up 15.5 percent and Zone 3 was up 7.7 percent. Buck harvest was up significantly in all zones. The DNR has projected the 2015 total deer harvest to be between 140,000 to 155,000 deer. The 2014 total harvest after last year’s conservative season was just over 139,000. In much of Minnesota, the last day of the firearms deer season was November 15. The northern rifle zone season continued through November 22. Additional deer will be harvested during the late southeastern season, which runs Saturday, November 21, through Sunday, November 29; the muzzleloader season, which begins Saturday, November 28, and continues through Sunday, December 13; and the archery season, which runs through Thursday, December 31. Final numbers from all deer seasons will be available in January. New this year, hunters can preview an interactive deer information tool being developed by the DNR at www.mndnr.gov/deermap. This map is the first step toward launching an online application that delivers useful information hunters need and want. Hunters are encouraged to take a look at the application, discuss it and provide the DNR with feedback. More information on deer management can be found at www.mndnr.gov/deer.

They could not have done such a job without all the help of the adults who gave 100's of hours of their time, lost hours away from their day jobs and gave up evenings with their families. It was definitely a group effort which is a hallmark of a great musical production. Thank you BL Review for all articles you were willing to put in the paper. Thank you First National Bank for your marquee advertising. Thank you businesses for putting up our posters.

The 8th grade boys got off to somewhat of a slow start and trailed 14-10 after the first half. A much better effort on both ends of the floor in the second half helped the boys prevail in the end, in what turned out to be an exciting first game with several lead changes in the final minutes, and defeated the Comets 27-25. Brennan Amundson led the Battlers with 11 points and Dillon Christensen tallied 8. The 7th grade Battlers got their season off to a fast start, jumping out to an early 10 point lead. Cold shooting and some costly turnovers allowed the Comets to close the gap, but the Battlers regained their momentum and built the lead back to double digits. In a shortened one half, 16-minute game, the young Battlers still managed to pour in 29 points, and at the buzzer defeated the Comets 29-20. Kyler Leabo, Brady VanErp and Nick Carter-Fischer paced the Battlers with six points each. vs. Underwood Another slow start by the 8th grade boys found them trailing at the half 22-16 as they struggled with rebounding and defending the post. An energetic effort in the second half saw the Battlers take their first lead of the game with just a few minutes remaining, as some strong pressure defense by Dillon Christensen forced several Underwood turnovers. With a little over a minute remaining, Underwood hit a 3-point shot to tie the game at 41. The Battlers came up empty on their final two possessions and Underwood came away with a 44-41 victory. The loss evened the 8th grade record at 1-1. Brennan Amundson scored 14 points to lead the Battlers. Riley Leabo added 11 and Thomas Himmelspach chipped in nine. The 7th grade boys again jumped out to a quick start, as a strong defensive effort forced several Underwood turnovers, resulting in several transition baskets. The first half break found the Battlers with a commanding 23-6 lead. The Battlers continued with the same intensity in the second half, and their speed and quickness proved to be too much for for the opposition, winning handily over the Rockets 44-8. Brady VanErp led the way with 12 points and Kayne Cameron added nine, in a game which saw nine of the 10 boys on the team hit the scoring column. The win improved the 7th grade record to 2-0. vs. Rothsay Finally, the 8th grade Battlers came out with intensity and enthusiasm and jumped out to an early lead which would carry them thru the entire game. Better execution on the offensive end and a strong defensive effort propelled them to a 22-10 halftime lead. An even better performance in the second half and several baskets as a result of great offensive rebounding, helped the Battlers to earn an impressive 48-17 victory. Thomas Himmelspach and Connor Drake did an outstanding job rebounding on both ends of the floor in this game. Riley Leabo led a balanced scoring attack with 14 points. Brennan Amundson finished with 12, Connor Drake 10 and Jacob Hite netted eight. The win improved the 8th grade record to 2-1. Staying consistent, the 7th grade boys again jumped on the opponent quickly, and several easy transition baskets helped the Battlers to a 20-10 halftime lead. Committing to working even harder on defense in the second half, the scrappy Battlers held the Tigers to just one basket and 2-free throws. Rewarding their defensive effort and strong rebounding were many transition opportunities that led to several high percentage shots, and the end result was a convincing 39-14 victory. Tough perimeter defense by Isaac Hallberg and Brady VanErp forced many turnovers and made offensive possessions difficult for the Tigers. Once again, nine out of the 10 boys got into the scoring column, with Drew Durbin leading the way with 10 points. The win moves the 7th grade to 3-0 on the season. vs. Ashby The 8th grade boys took a step backwards after a strong game just two days earlier, struggling to gain any offensive rhythm and getting outrebounded, both on offense and defense. Some extremely cold shooting in the first half also contributed to a 188 halftime deficit for the Battlers. The second half saw more of the same as the Battlers battled poor shooting from the field and the free throw line, making only one of 12 free throw opportunities. Ashby controlled the boards and had a huge rebounding advantage which in the end helped them beat the Battlers 3917. Brennan Amundson led the Battlers with seven points. The loss dropped the Battlers to 2-2. The 7th grade continued their fast starts, again relying on some strong defense and aggressive rebounding to assist them in their transition offense. As a result, the Battlers were able to jump to a 33-10 halftime lead. Half number two saw more of the same as the Battlers built an even bigger lead, going on to win easily 57-28. Some good offensive possessions in which the boys worked really well as a team, helped nine of the 10 boys again make their way into the scoring column. Brady VanErp and Wyatt Severson led the scoring with 14 points each and Nick Carter-Fischer added 11. Isaac Hallberg, Drew Durbin and Kayne Cameron did an excellent job on the boards. The win improves the 7th grade to 4-0. vs. Parkers Prairie Rebounding from a loss, the 8th grade boys got back on track against a much bigger Parkers Prairie team, battling hard the entire game to come away with well deserved 35-29 win. Executing well on the offensive end and some good looks at the basket got the Battlers off to a good start, and strong post defense by Thomas Himmelspach and Brennan Amundson gave the Battlers a 20-13 halftime lead. Cold shooting by the Battlers allowed the Panthers to get within two points. The Battlers then turned up the defensive pressure, again, doing a good job defending the post. They also attacked the glass much better, and several offensive rebounds created easy inside baskets. Riley Leabo paced the Battlers with 13 points and Brennan Amundson added eight. The 8th grade is now 3-2 on the season. The 7th grade boys got off to a much slower start against the Panthers, missing several easy shots in the first half, and struggling in their offensive possessions. But again, their solid, scrappy defense made things difficult for the opponent, which allowed the Battlers to end the first half with a 16-4 lead. The second half saw the Battlers build a big lead as their tenacious defense led to many easy scoring opportunities, which this time they capitalized on. A late second half rally made things a little interesting, but the defense prevailed and made stops when they needed to, helping the 7th grade Battlers gain a 30-22 win, improving their record to 5-0 on the season. Eight of the 10 boys scored in the game, with Kayne Cameron leading the way with seven.
