Heartland’s Volleyball team participated in a triangular at Giltner on Tuesday. They defeated Giltner 2-1 and lost to Doniphan-Trumbull 0-2.

Abigael Stebbing, Ava Tessman, and Naomi Onnen traveled to Seward on Wednesday to participate in the GFWC Nebraska Federation of Woman’s Club 17th Annual Young Woman’s Quiz Bowl. There were 27 teams from 18 different schools in attendance. The morning consisted of round robin matches that were used to determine the single-elimination tournament after lunch. During the morning rounds the team defeated Dorchester, lost a close match to Friend and lost to Cross County. Based on our record and our point total from the round robin matches, we were awarded the 6th seed. We competed against the team from Friend again and lost another close match. None of these young ladies were members of the high school team last year, so I was really proud of how they performed and represented Heartland! (Coach Heidi Widick)

The Football team played an exciting game against Exeter-Milligan on Friday. Both teams seemed well matched with almost identical passing yardage and close rushing yards (EM: 184, Heartland 153). The halftime score was tied at 14-14. However, the Timberwolves outscored the Huskies in the third (16-14) and fourth (8-0) quarters to end the game in favor of Exeter-Milligan 38-28.
