Under Water in Lake Mills

Submitted by admin on Wed, 09/04/2019 - 8:17am

Friday, August 30. It was a tale of two halves. Lake Mills set the tone early with two unanswered touchdowns in the first quarter. The NGM defense stiffened and the offense found its footing with two scores of their own in the second quarter. Though the L-Cats led 19-14 at the half, there was a palpable sense of a momentum shift in the NGM locker room. But the home team had different plans for us the visitors as the second half unfolded, scoring 36 points in the third quarter and opening the flood gates of their eponymous lake as they raced to a 55-21 victory.

Submitted by admin on Wed, 09/04/2019 - 8:11am

It’s hard not to be disturbed by stories in the news of desperate refugees walking thousands of miles from Central America to the United States, no matter what your political leanings.
