The Kasson-Mantorville softball team is looking to run a string of wins together as they head into postseason play next week. With stellar pitching from the arm of Chante Thome and power at the plate, the KoMets are beginning to play their best softball of the year as they head toward the end of May.

The scene at the HVL track and field championship meet in Byron on Saturday was a familiar one. There was the sun that would come in and out of the clouds and athletes from all over the conference competing hard around the track and during multiple field events. Unfortunately, there was just one thing missing that would make it a perfect afternoon.

For a majority of the season, the big story surrounding the Kasson-Mantorville baseball team has been the inability to get key hits at the plate. While the team has been able to use their athleticism to capitalize on opponents’ mistakes on the basepaths, a key hit here and there would take this team from a team in the middle of the HVL to the top.

The Kasson-Mantorville softball team is heading into the final stretch of the season as the two-time defending state champions look to hit their stride. They showed plenty of positives while picking up victories over Byron and Rochester Century last week.

For many golfers, the dream of hitting a hole-in-one is just that – a dream. However, for Triton golfer Abe Myer, he realized that fantasy during a HVL triangular on May 9 when he hit his first hole-in-one on the 11th hole in Zumbrota.

The Kasson-Mantorville track and field team is beginning to hit its stride during the middle part of the schedule. That became apparent on May 5 when the KoMets headed to Byron for the Chuck Ramthun Invitiational where titles were won, records were broken and confidence was established.
