The Kasson-Mantorville volleyball team will open the Section 1A tournament when they host Zumbrota-Mazeppa on Thursday night. The KoMets were able to have one final tune up for last Thursday when they were able to sweep Triton in front of a home crowd.

The Kasson-Mantorville/Triton cross country team continued their successful season as seven runners earned All-Conference honors at the HVL meet in Zumbrota on Oct. 20.  With five boys and two girls making the list, it represents the highest total during head coach Jared Pittman’s tenure with the team.

The Kasson-Mantorville/Triton cross country team has had a stellar season for both the boys and girls. However, one accomplishment that was alluding them throughout the year was having an individual win a race. That box was checked off last Tuesday when Brennan Gustafson won in front of a hometown crowd at the K-M Invitational.

The last time the Kasson-Mantorville football team faced off with Byron, the game had everything a high school fan could ask for. There was a Hail Mary that the KoMets converted before halftime, a clutch stop late in the game and a clutch drive that allowed K-M to come away with a 28-25 victory.

For years, the Kasson-Mantorville KoMets have been trying to get over the hump and claim a HVL conference championship. For about the same time, they’ve butted heads with the Lourdes Eagles for that title. It only made sense that Tuesday night’s match-up between the two schools would have the title on the line.
