The Sophomores are getting into the era of absolutism! They made their own crowns to get into the spirit.
The Junior Huskies played their final game of the 2026 season on October 15th in Long Island. The Golden Plains Bulldogs came to town, and the teams played the 5th Quarter flag game for the 6th graders first due to there not being a B-team volleyball game.
The Huskies were able to be largely successful on the ground with running backs Isaac Hansen and Mason Wilder. Hansen had a huge 55-yard touchdown on the first play. Wilder ran in the PAT. The Bulldogs had a sustained drive that ended in points for them but failing on the PAT. The Huskies answered back with another Hansen touchdown from 7 yards; the PAT failed. The defense stiffened up and got a stop on fourth down with a tipped ball that Hansen intercepted. The next play, the Huskies ran the ball with Wilder who made the whole Bulldog defense miss and ran 45 yards for a touchdown. He also ran in the PAT for the final score of 20-6.
Stats- Offensive- Isaac Hansen- 4 carriers for 86 yards and 2 TDs. Mason Wilder- 5 carries for 77 yards, 1 TD, and 2 PATs.
Defensive- Flag pulls- Jasper Padgett- 3, Mason Wilder- 1, Isaac Hansen- 4. Hansen also had an interception returned for 7 yards.
Coach Pugh’s Comments: The 5th quarter of flag football has been great for player development for the 6th graders. It has been awesome to see the growth and get reps in for these guys who we will have to rely on next season in tackle games. Hansen and Wilder have benefited from running the ball against WKLL athletes of all skill levels, and they look much more comfortable and smooth with the ball in their hands. Cooper Stabenow and Jasper Padgett showed up well in their responsibilities as well with blocking and playing solid defense.
The tackle game for the Huskies started off great, and the Huskies were able to play everyone good meaningful minutes and send our 8th graders off on a win. Deason Dockendorf had a monster game on both sides of the ball. Colton Ledbetter ran wild for 4 TD’s on the ground and one through the air and the game was controlled from start to finish. The Huskies won 51-7 against the short-handed Bulldogs. After leading 27-0 early in the second quarter, the Huskies were able to move around some players and get everyone involved on both sides of the ball for the rest of the game. The Huskies played very good team defense against the Bulldogs who had a fast runner and a powerful runner that both took a whole team effort to bring down.
Stats- Offensive- Colton Ledbetter- 14 carries for 157 yards and 4 TDs; 1 Reception for 12 yards and a TD. Deason Dockendorf- 3 carries for 63 yards and 3 TDs. Cruz Van Patten- 2 carries for 29 yards. Victor Alvarez-Santos- TD pass to Ledbetter for 12 yards.
Defensive- Deason Dockendorf- 11 tackles, 6 assists, 1 forced fumble. Colton Ledbetter- 9 tackles, 4 assists. Victor Alvarez-Santos- 7 tackles, 4 assists, and two fumble recoveries. Xander Brown- 4 tackles and 1 assist. Cruz Van Patten- 3 tackles and 2 assists. Daniel Alvarez- Santos and Thomas Thompson both had 1 tackle apiece.
Coach Pugh’s Comments: This was a fun group to coach this season. We ended our year on a high note with this victory at 2-5, but the record doesn’t do justice how far these guys have come. Our last two games in particular, everything became much more fluid, and guys were able to just play and not have to overthink responsibilities. They improved drastically from game 1 to game 7 in all phases. The 7th graders struggled at first as most do, but they looked much more comfortable and aggressive at the end of the year. These 8th graders made the biggest jump of a group I’ve had in my three years as Head Coach. I hope our 8th graders continue to stick with it and grow as football players, and it’ll be fun to watch them on Friday nights.

Coach Cole;
All six Husky Cross Country runners competed in the Junior Varsity race at the Downs Golf Course on a cold and windy day, and came away with 5 PR's and 2 medals. Zane Brown finished in 7th place in the JV boys race running a 5000m time of 21:49.96. He finished behind four Southeast Saline runners, Natoma, Norton, and Rock Hills runners. Zane is a true varsity runner, but was seeded 50th out of 82 runners in the varsity race as the Lakeside meet hosted 22 total schools, so I decided to give him a chance at medaling in the JV race. Bryson Wilder, running his first XC race, came in 19th with a time of 24:50.03. Levi Black ran with Bryson the whole way, finishing in 20th with a time of 24:52.83 (3-minute personal best). Max Wilder, also running for the first time, finished in 26th with a good time of 25:53.51. Jeremiah Kirkland ran a 28:58.11, finishing 33rd in the JV boys race. At the end of the race, Jeremiah said, "I was reciting the song Our God Is An Awesome God for the last two miles to distract myself as I ran." I think that worked out for him, because he improved his time by 3 minutes. Tayah Seeders was the only girl JV runner today, as Shelby Lentz is battling an injury. Tayah broke her own 5000m school record, running a outstanding personal best of 27:17.07. She would finish 9th, as she has medaled at every meet this season. The Huskies had a great day. The next time we run is at Sub State in Tribune on October 24. Girls at 10:30 CT and boys at 12:00 CT.

10.8.26 The Huskies take on Palco
Last Thursday the Middle School Lady Huskies traveled to Damar to take on the Palco Roosters. The B team played a set and the A team played a full game. Even though we lost both games, the Huskies were complimented on their ability to control the ball and try to run a 3 touch offense at the middle school level. The Lady Huskies let Palco go on a few big runs and even though they were able to get 18 3-touch offensive plays to get over the net and score some points, the Huskies lost. We were unable to play back balls that were sent directly back over and had a little bit of a struggle from the service line. We will be looking to be able to bring our practice and passing from practice to our game and to control our energy enough to stay positive and believe in ourselves! We will also be looking to build on a large passing goal the girls were able to reach 81 good passes in 3 minutes! They know their hard work has created growth and they know we have a couple more opportunities to display that growth on the court infront of some fans!
A team lost 11-25, 19-25
B team lost 25-17
A team Stats:
Aces: Inez Schemper 7, Kinsley Burge 1, Ivey Sproul 1
Setting Assists: Kinsley Burge 1, Lettie Wilder 1
Kills: Jaycee Houser 1, Amora Simoneau 1
Passing Percentage: Brettly Gebhard 2.3, Kinsley Burge 2, Inez Schemper 1.7, Amora Simoneau 1.6

On October 8th the Northern Valley Huskies headed down to play the Palco Roosters in Palco. The Roosters only had 5 players available, so the Huskies were forced to adjust if they wanted to still play a game. It was already slated to be the only game on the schedule that all 6-8th graders would play a full flag game.
The Roosters had some very fast and active 8th graders that the Huskies had the task of trying to slow down on defense and try to out-maneuver on offense. The game was close the whole way through. The Huskies had more options with the roster and utilized the speed of Isaac Hansen and Mason Wilder throughout the game, allowing the 8th graders to focus on blocking and defensive execution. After Hansen’s 2 touchdowns and Deason Dockendorf’s pick-six touchdown and Victor Alvarez-Santos' PAT run, the Huskies held a 19-18 lead in the fourth quarter. The Roosters had a big breakaway run that set up a short touchdown run. The following drive the Huskies had a mishandled pitch that lost big yardage, and the Huskies had to punt. The Roosters led 24-19 at that point, and the Huskies needed a defensive stop to get the ball back for one last chance. The Rooster caught the outside edge with some elusive and fast running and punched in a final touchdown at the end of regulation. The Huskies’ loss of 19-30 put their record at 1-5 on the season with one game left to play. The next action will be a home contact football game and a flag game for the younger group against the Golden Plains Bulldogs on October 15th.
Coach Pugh’s comments: I was very proud of the guys after this hard-fought battle. We were competitive, aggressive, and executed on both sides of the ball much better. Playing 5 vs 5 and having the game be the only flag game that most of the guys played all year, it was good to see them still take on the challenge. The 6th graders saw by far the most playing time they will all year and were very excited to be in action. They played well and we were able to have much more freedom with substitution and strategy.
Stats-
Rushing- Isaac Hansen- 19 carries for 112 yards and 2 TDs, Mason Wilder- 7 carries for 28 yards, Victor Alvarez-Santos- 2 carries for 6 yards and a PAT
Passing/Receiving- Isaac Hansen completed 3 passes for 20 yards, Colton Ledbetter had two catches for 10 yards and Mason Wilder had one catch for 10 yards.
Defensive Stats-
Deason Dockendorf had an interception returned for a TD to go with his 2 flag pulls, Victor Alvarez-Santos had an interception to go with his 5 flag pulls, Mason Wilder had 4 flag pulls, Colton Ledbetter had 2 flag pulls and multiple pressures including a batted ball.

10/1/26 Volleyball at Home Against Heartland Christian and Western Plains!
What a beautiful day for Middle School Volleyball and Football. The chill in the air was refreshing and getting to play at home is always amazing with so many supporters that fill our stands! The middle school A team Volleyball girls had a little bit of a tougher night, but the B team Got 2 WINS!!! Heartland Christian brought a solid team, the Lady Huskies just took too long to get started playing volleyball and couldn't find that same flow from the week before. Serve receive was our biggest struggle and we couldn't get any offense started without that first pass. The B team was able to turn a corner and had an incredible night serving and setting up their offense!! The serving from B team proved to be too much for Heartland Christian and the girls finished strong winning the last 2 sets!

Western Plains brought a small group of solid girls who out served the Huskies and were able to hit a little more than our Northern Valley girls so A team had another loss. The B team WON their set and did a great job taking care of business. They served and passed well and were able to get 10 aces to beat Western Plains. The Northern Valley Huskies will need to focus on serve receive, serving and bouncing back after making a mistake in hopes of getting back to the way we played against Grinnell. The girls want to do so well and are just a little tough on themselves when they make mistakes so we will work on finding a way to reset, and focus on next point! Their effort and focus in Practice is a strength so there is no doubt they will get to work to try to turn things around for the next chance to play great volleyball!

The Northern Valley Huskies will need to focus on serve receive, serving and bouncing back after making a mistake in hopes of getting back to the way we played against Grinnell. The girls want to do so well and are just a little tough on themselves when they make mistakes so we will work on finding a way to reset, and focus on next point! Their effort and focus in Practice is a strength so there is no doubt they will get to work to try to turn things around for the next chance to play great volleyball!

9/24 The Huskies Take on Grinnell!!
The Lady Huskies traveled down to Grainfield to take on the Thunderhawks and it was the best Volleyball we have played yet! The A team and the B team both had team-bests in passing, serving and setting the ball up. The A team was able to play top level volleyball recording 17 pass-set-hit series in the first set! It wasn't quite enough to surpass the depth of the Thunderhawks but it was one heck of a ball game! The lady Huskies showed true court awareness, grit fighting for every last point and serious team support!
