By winning their last three games in a row, the Wildcat girls' soccer team (7-7-0) set a season record for wins, surpassing the previous mark of six wins.
With a losing streak that has been slowly building after a huge season-opening win over the Chisago Lakes Wildcats, the North Branch football team had their sights set on ruining Princeton's homecoming last week.
With the conference schedule wrapping up, but plenty of strong teams still on their plate, the Vikings had a tough time dealing with Totino Grace's top players.
In the interstate Hudson Invitational, the Chisago Lakes girls cross country team continued their impressive season with a fifth place finish out of 10 teams.
With the weather finally giving that first fall chill of the year, the North Branch Vikings wrapped up their homecoming week with a match-up against the 2-1 Irondale Knights.
After dropping a disappointing North Suburban Conference match to Irondale last week, the Chisago Lakes volleyball team rebounded with a big win over the struggling Columbia Heights Hylanders on Thursday, Sept. 17.
Less than a minute after David Rau's goal tied the game late in the first half, Fridley responded with what can be best described as a "pinball" goal to take a 2-1 lead.
"In past years," said Viking girls' soccer coach Peter Grand, "Totino Grace and their coaching staff, led by head coach Matt Thibodeau, have always shown respect for the efforts of the Vikings even though the outcome of the matches was predictable."
With a little home cooking and a lot of familiarity with the course, the North Branch girls cross country team ripped through the North Branch Golf Course like a pack of cheetahs.
