Lyons Decatur got off to a fast start in the 2013 Football season.  On the second play of the season Alex Brehmer broke loose for a 47 yard TD run.  The Cougar defense stopped  Spalding/Spalding Academy’s initial drive  at the two yard line.  Brehmer ripped off a 76 yard scoring run and the Cougars never looked back in a 64-50 win over the Knights.

 

Brehmer had scoring runs of 47, 76, 55, 51, and 52 along with three scoring passes.  Dakota Riecken caught two and Marcus Hegy reeled in the third.

 

Chevy Henneman also had a scoring run as the first half was ending.

 

Marcus Hegy played a big part in the 42-14 halftime lead enjoyed by the Cougars.  He blocked a pass and had quarterback sacks in three straight series as LD-NE held S/SA to two scores in the first half.

Lyons-Decatur Football and Volleyball teams and story

Story by Clare Wiltse

The fall sports season is under way as the last of the fall training camps, volleyball, got under way on the 19th; softball has its opener on August 22 at Pierce; and the boys  have just five practices left to prepare for their first game against Spalding/Spalding Academy.

Volleyball coach Candy Cronin says she expected to have 20  girls report for the first day.   Five senior:  Vanessa Peterson, Hannah Christianson, Haley Bacon, Sarah Alford, and Alexis Totten start their last campaign.

Three girls are in the co-op sport of softball.  Senior Heidi Miller is looking for a challenging season as the Wisner-Pilger/L-D/B-R  moves up to Class B.

Coach Dan Maresh starts his fourth year with a team of 20.  He has an experienced backfield, but the interior line  will call for a total make over.  All Stater Alex Brehmer heads a group of five seniors including Dakota Riecken, Bobby Simpson, Taylor Fuston, David Bishop

LDNE softball girls and story

The goal for the Wisner-Pilger Gator softball team early this season will be to finish off games.

The locals led in all three outings this past week, but wound up finishing just one game to sport a 1-2 record through week one of the 2013 season.

Things got underway in Pierce Thursday, with W-P staking to a 2-0 lead in the second inning as both Kayli Wheaton and Suzanne Ras had run batted in hits.

W-P saw that lead trimmed to 2-1 in the last of the second inning, then dropped to a 2-6 deficit as Pierce plated four runs in the third inning on four hits and a pair of crucial Gator errors.

Christina Sindelar reached on an error to start the fifth inning and the bases were soon loaded with one out. W-P was only able to plate one as Sindelar scored on a fielder’s choice.

The locals stranded five runners in the middle innings, while Pierce took advantage of its two scoring opportunities.

The second came for Pierce in the sixth inning with four hits and four runs to run to the final score of 10-3.

Pierce outhit the locals 10-5. The runs were split evenly at 5-5 off W-P pitchers Heidi Miller and Suzanne Ras. Miller suffered the defeat in 2 1/3 innings of work.

Saturday’s play at the Wayne Invite saw the locals come away with a split.

Wheaton, Ras, Samantha Liermann, and Kari Liermann all had three hits each to power the offense to a 15-0 win over North Bend to start the day.

Ras tossed a two-hit shutout for the mound victory.

W-P took the early lead on Twin River in the second matchup of the invite, but would not score again as the locals faced an 11-3 setback.

A 3-0 lead came on a two-out rally. Wheaton opened the rally with a double, Ras followed with an RBI single, and Lexi Knust later smacked a two-run single.

Knust led the offense with two hits. The locals had six hits total.

Ras broke even on the day, suffering the mound setback in this battle. She closed with a trio of strikeouts.
