9.10.26 Huskies Travel to Winona to take on the Titans
The Huskies only got to play A team volleyball down in Winona and the Huskies came to play! The Lady Huskies had 5 servers that helped the Huskies score points over the Titans and had several that served multiple points in a row. They did a great job running their 6-2 and had several attempts at hitting. We were very proud of how brave they were and how much they tried to control the ball. The Hsukies were able to command the first set and win 25-16 and were able outlast the Titans in the second 25-21. We will work on finishing and continuing to put together a flow in our offense to make it so our 6-2 functions and finishes with a few more kills.

9.17.26 Huskies Host Logan
The Logan Trojans brought their massive amount of Middle School Volleyball Players and were able to out serve the Huskies to win both A and B Team Matches. The Huskies did an amazing job executing their passing and had 3 starting 6th Graders that held their own when it came to receiving from the 8th Graders on the Trojan team. The Huskies suffered another injury to Inez Schemper with a twisted ankle in Monday night's practice so we quickly switched from running a 6-2 to a 4-2 with a brand new setter. The Huskies tried extremely hard and just were not able to put together enough offense and serving to stop the Trojans from winning. The score didn't do a great job showing how hard the Huskies Fought and all of the long Rallies that we lost but just barely.The B Team Lady Huskies lead most of the first set and had a great Game serving. They passed the ball well and were able to send multiple points back to the Trojans. They showed great improvement on control and were able to play some solid volleyball. They came up just short in the first set and the second set had a little larger of a deficit just because of the amount of increased missed serves by the Huskies. We definitely need to work on believing in our ability and bouncing back after a mistake. We will also focus on serving and giving ourselves a chance at another offensive attempt. We are so very proud of how the girls have been handling the set backs and how they flow through the changes with grace and grit!

Hey Huskies!! Here is your weekly agenda!! I cannot wait to see all of the Valley at the Homecoming Parade this year!! We will start that Parade @ 2:45 and end at the Football field like last year. Have a fantastic week!
The Northern Valley Huskies JH Football team renewed their rivalry with the Logan Trojans in Long Island on September 17th.
The Huskies executed a great onside kick by Cruz Van Patten to start the game, and Colton Ledbetter was able to jump on it to steal a possession from the Trojans. The Huskies were able to sustain a long drive with several Ledbetter runs that eventually capitalized, and a Deason Dockendorf PAT put the Huskies up 7-0. The Huskies' defense was much improved from previous weeks with the team attacking the Trojans and keeping them from scoring. The Huskies were able to score again in the second quarter after a 50-yard run by Ledbetter and facemask penalty set up the Huskies for a 3-yard TD run by Dockendorf as well as the PAT. The Huskies had a great shot to go up three scores at the half after a pass from Ledbetter to Xander Brown for 25 yards, but time ran out and the Huskies took a 14-0 advantage to half.
The third quarter started with the Huskies' stalled drive. The next play on defense, Ledbetter stripped the Trojan runner and took it back for a fumble recovery TD. The fourth quarter included another Dockendorf TD and Ledbetter PAT. The Trojans scored on a 13-yard TD run by Bryson Bolt to bring the score to 27-6. Ledbetter answered the next Husky drive with a 45-yard TD run, and Dockendorf ran in a PAT for the final points of the game. The Huskies were excited to take their first victory of the season 34-6.
Coach Pugh's Comments- I'm very proud of how the team came out to play and played hard for four quarters. We moved some players around, changed some schematic things on both sides of the ball, and the guys responded. It was awesome to see things start to click and connect from practice to the game.
Stats- Rushing- Colton Ledbetter- 19 carries for 257 yards, 2 TDs and a PAT run, Deason Dockendorf- 13 carries for 62 yards, 2 TDs and 3 PAT runs. Pass/Rec.- Colton Ledbetter completed 1 of 2 passes to Xander Brown for 25 yards.
Defense- Colton Ledbetter- 6 solo, 1 assisted tackle, 1 forced fumble and recovery and defensive TD. Victor Alvarez-Santos- 1 solo, 1 assisted tackle; Deason Dockendorf- 5 solo tackles, 2 assisted tackles; Xander Brown- 5 solo tackles and 3 assisted tackles; Cruz Van Patten- 2 solo tackles and 2 assisted tackles; Daniel Alvarez-Santos- 1 assisted tackle.
The Huskies' next game will be in Grinnell on September 24th.

Game Day for NVJH!!!! GO BIG GREEN!!!
Northern Valley FFA traveled to Norton today for land judging. We took 3 kids; we learned that land judging is hard, and everyone understands and judges it all differently. This is a judging that is a continuation of learning and growing in our knowledge and ability to judge this correctly and to the state standards. We worked hard at judging and staying warm today in the sprinkling rain. We hope to continue to learn and grow for the future. Be on the lookout for our future events and FFA fundraisers that are coming up.
The Northern Valley FFA has been hard at work for the past couple of weeks. Last week, we traveled to Colby for Dairy Cattle Judging, where we took 10 kids total. 9 Greenhands and 1 senior division. The greenhands did great and placed 11th as a team. We learned that there is room for improvement in our judging in dairy cattle. We also learned that sometimes our nerves get the best of us, and we forget what we wrote for our reasons. We will be working hard for next year in our dairy cattle and are going to be working hard on not letting our nerves get the best of us for our reasons that are to come later this year.
NV Rally Towels are here! $5 each!! Come support your Huskies!!
These may be purchased at the Junior High Games in the Cafeteria!!!!
PINK OUT tonight at the home high school Volleyball game! Wear all the pink that you can! Go Huskies!
Alma Cross Country Invitational - September 14, 2026
Coach Ross Cole;
For the first time in 5 years, the Huskies have Cross Country and we have five runners representing the team (the last time NV had 5+ runners was 2013). Our first meet at Alma turned into a muggy mess. On the girls side of things, Tayah Seeders finished in 15th place running 35:33.23, and Shelby Lentz finished 18th running 37.32.33. Tayah earned a medal, and also sets a school record as no girl at Northern Valley has ever run the 5000 meter race. There were 22 total girl runners.
On the boys side, Zane Brown ran the fastest with a 23:45.56 placing 24th. Levi Black finished 38th running 31:09.47. Jeremiah Kirkland finished 42nd running a 34:11.40. There were 42 total boy runners. 3 runners is enough for a team as our boys placed 6th.
This was the first high school cross country race for the five runners, as well as myself. We learned a few things;
The meet is a lot hotter than our morning practices
Bring water bottles to hand runners during the race
Bring mosquito spray
Bring towels to wipe the nats off after the race (so many nats)
Start at a slower pace
Jeremiah was the only runner not to walk during the 5000 meter run. The following times were the runners first 1600m times: Zane 5:45, Levi 7:30, Tayah 7:40, Shelby 8:30, and Jeremiah 8:45. Every runner figured out that they can’t keep that pace for 3.1 miles. Each runner has goals to get a better time at the next meet at Norton on September 24.
