the opportunity to read the book
free of charge as well as see the

the task of finding local sponsors
to help fund the purchase of 100

Seeds of Hope
"Happy New Year!" I said to a friend.
"I see that you're happy," he said. "Why?"
"Because," I said, "I'm precious in the
eyes of God, saved by the grace of God,
trusting in the word of God, guided by the
Spirit of God, guarded by the angels of
God, walking in the light of God, busy in
the work of God, joyful in the love of God,
held by the hands of God, and secure in the
power of God. Why not make Him your
God?"
God is equal to every situation. He's ever
present, never failing, and all sufficient!

KW earns a split at Hayfield
By Faye Haugen
KENYON The KenyonWanamingo boys basketball team
placed third in the Hayfield Invitational over the holiday break.
The Knights fell to Hayfield in an
HVL matchup, but they defeated
Southland for their fourth win of
the season.
The Knights will host Byron on
Friday and Stewartville on Tuesday.

Goodhues Sam McNamara keeps the ball away from Lakeville Souths Blake Wacholz during Mondays
basketball game at the Rochester Rotary Invitational.
By Faye Haugen
GOODHUE Going into the
Rochester Rotary Invitational, the
Goodhue boys basketball team
knew they were going to be facing much larger schools and much
taller opponents. That proved true
as the Wildcats struggled in a pair
of losses to Lakeville South and
Woodbury.
Goodhue will host Cannon Falls
on Friday, play at 3 p.m. in a girlboy doubleheader in Southland on
Saturday, and travel to Byron on
Tuesday.
Lakeville South
An unrelenting full-court press
by Lakeville South caused
Goodhue all kinds of problems in
Mondays game. The Cougars built
up a 17-point lead in the opening
half using their defense to force
turnovers that resulted in layups
at the other end of the court.
The Wildcats were able to regroup and make a run at the larger
school with Sam McNamara hitting a three at the halftime buzzer
to make it a six-point game.
But Lakeville continued their
strong defensive play in the second half, rotating many players
into the lineup to stay fresh.
Goodhue was unable to answer
and was outscored 35-21 over the
last 18 minutes in the 66-46 loss.
Tyler Schumacher led Goodhue
with 12 points with Sam McNamara adding 10.

KENYON You would have
to go back into the record books a
long way to find the last time the
Kenyon-Wanamingo girls basketball suffered a defeat like they did
on Tuesday evening to Eden Prairie.
The Eagles stomped the Knights
96-50 in Kenyon using a smothering full-court defense that produced a number of turnovers that
were turned into fast-break baskets.
Eden Prairie, ranked 10th in
the last Class AAA poll took an
early lead and never looked back,
up 44-23 at the break. The Eagles
played even better in the second
half of play, scoring 52 points.
The Knights had balance in their
scoring, led by Megan Quam with
22, Mara Quam with 15 and Brittney Flom with 10, but the rest of
the team contributed just three
points.
The Knights will play at Byron
on Friday and at Stewartville,
Monday. KW sports a 6-3 overall
record.
