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.

The Kasson-Mantorville football team is beginning to get healthy at the right time. With injuries to several key players, the KoMets have had to rely on a new wave of players while trying to install a new offense. As a result, K-M had limped to a 2-5 record heading into Friday night’s game with Lake City, but had shown flashes of getting things turned around in time for the playoffs.

The Kasson-Mantorville boys soccer team battled through a rough stretch this week as they dropped a pair of games. The struggles began with last Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Waseca at home and continued on the road against Red Wing on Tuesday night.  Against the Wingers, the KoMets were playing without senior captain and leading scorer Andy Plein for the second straight game.
