Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2015-10-28 10:31

 

Danny Halva is shown running away from an opposing runner in UIC action last week. The TigerHawk senior has been running ahead of the competition throughout his career. Thursday at the State Qualifying Meet in Monticello, Halva ran away from every runner but one as he finished second, qualifying him for his third straight State Cross Country Meet Saturday in Fort Dodge.

It took four grueling sets and almost 1:45, but North Fayette Volleyball advanced in Class 3A Regional volleyball action with a 25-19, 21-25, 25-23, 25-17 win over Oelwein Monday (Oct 26) in West Union.

With the win, NFV earned the right to play sixth-ranked Center Point-Urbana, Thursday, in Center Point. Game time will be 7 p.m.

Monday’s match against the Huskies was an action-filled contest with many long volleys. Long runs were very few as the two teams traded points in a real slugfest.

North Fayette Valley won its second straight Class 2A District 3 championship Friday night with a 19-0 shutout in New Hampton.

For the seniors the crown this year makes a three peat for them, as the TigerHawks won a district crown in Class 1A before the move back to Class 2A.

With the win and victories by Waukon and Beckman, District 3 ended in a three-way tie at 5-1. However, NFV won the gold ring because the tiebreaker is point differential and that favored the TigerHawks.

With the title, comes home field advantage throughout the first three playoff. games. 

The first game will be tonight (Wednesday, Oct. 28), against Cascade. Note: the kickoff will be moved to 7 p.m. for the playoffs.

NFV bowling team starts soon

The newest varsity sport at North Fayette Valley is bowling, and with practices starting Tuesday, Nov. 10, head coach Chris DeBack still needs some girls to fill out all of the varsity and JV slots.

“We have 17 boys already interested, but only three girls,” stated DeBack.

As the new TigerHawk mentor also noted, “You do not need prior experience to be on the team, we will teach you how to bowl. One of the reasons for starting the sport is to introduce students to a something they can do the rest of their lives; you can bowl into your 80s and 90s!”

The West Central Blue Devils, for the most part, controlled their own destiny. Win its last two regular season games, get a little help in the district, and the Blue Devils would be playoff bound.

Unfortunately, West Central didn’t take care of that first part with a 35-22 loss to Springville at home, which eliminated them from playoff contention.
