RICHLAND - WP run- ners kept up with the pack last Saturday in Richland at an invitational against 60 middle school and high school teams full of tough competition. The highlight of the day for WP cross country coach Joanna Lanning was seeing middle school runner Em- ily Adams blaze past the competition in the 2-mile middle school race with first place and a time of 13:06.75. Even suffering from a cold, Lanning said Adams was in it to win it. "Just before the finish line (Adams) passed the runner in first place beating her by less than 2...

With 26:21 left in the first half, the...

DAYTON - Waitsburg- Prescott crashed Dayton's homecoming party here Friday, breaking open a low- scoring game through one half with 31 points in the second to rout the winless Bulldogs, 39-0. The first half was so ugly-marred by six turnovers, nine penalties (one resulting in a safety), and five first downs between the two teams-it was a wonder either team scored at all. But Waitsburg-Prescott did, thanks to Dayton's holding penalty in the end zone that counted as a 2-point safety, and si...

WAITSBURG - Waitsburg- Prescott's defense bent a lot Friday, but didn't break when it counted, including stopping archrival DeSales' final scoring chance on the 1-yard line as the game clock expired. The 16-13 victory dropped the Irish from the ranks of the unbeaten and propelled the Cardinals back into league- championship contention.

Taking the snap at his own 1...
