Blood donation
opportunity
Eligible donors are encouraged
to give blood during National
Preparedness Month. There will be
a blood drive Tuesday, September
21, from noon to 6 pm, at the Vets
Club in Browerville.
This has to be my favorite time of year. There
are more things to keep you busy this time of
year than any other if you are an outdoors
man/woman. Fear of fighting the mid-day
humidity is almost an after thought now. Fishing
on those crisp mornings when you start to think
maybe another layer might have been a good
idea. As the fog lifts off the water in the morning
sunrise you can almost close your eyes and hear
that flock of ducks swooping out of nowhere mak-
Kevin Winkler ing your heart jump from the swoosh of their
wings just feet from the end of your fishing pole. Instinctively you mount
your pole like your favorite shotgun and try to get a bead on them before
they are gone in the fog. My blood starts to move faster just typing that.
For many of you it's the time of year where trail cams and stand locations
ore first on your list. Maybe even a few nights are spent out glassing for
that big buck you last saw in full velvet. It's the time of year when you
hope the honey-do-list is all done, and you have that extra moment to add
new string to the decoy's before you have to rush into it the night before
Prairie Lakes Coop holds Plot Day the opener. Maybe even spend an extra day or two at the range with the
rifles plinking at various yardages. Maybe a few extra casts on those eye's
near Long Prairie putting the feed bag on before the next cold front.
This is the short season. As many of you know, I don't believe in four
seasons of the year, there are only two. Fishing season, and hunting. And
this time of year is a hard transition period, because it's hard to set the
rod down or put the boat away, but you know there is only a short time
to hunt. What ever your choice is, make the most of it. Keep it fun, keep
it safe so you can do it again. And if you have the chance, take someone
out with you that has never gone before.

Tigers fall to Royals, Tigers
host Tiger Invitational trounce
KMS
By Coach Petermeier
Browerville 9 – 17 – 6 – 6 = 38
KMS 0 – 0 – 0 – 14 = 14
The Browerville Tigers traveled
to Murdock to take on KMS. It
rained all the way down and up to
kick-off time, but then it turned
out to be a beautiful night for foot-
ball. The field was in great shape.
The Tigers played a whale of a first
half on defense as they held KMS
to 18 total yards and no first
downs. We gave up 3 first downs
and 38 yards rushing in the third
quarter. In the 4th quarter we got
a little sloppy as we gave up 105
rushing yards and two T.D.’ s. One
T.D. was a 48 yard run up the mid-
dle.
Our defense read the trap play
very well in the first half. Ben
Dreher (nose guard), Austin Butler
(DT), and Andrew Espree (DT) got
off the ball well and got down the
line to make some piles so our LB’s
could fill and make tackles. Miguel
Bravo and Roger Gonsior made a
lot of plays at the line of scrim-
mage because of how our interior
line played. Austen Wollenburg
and Conner Burns turned a lot of
plays back inside from their
defense of end positions also. This
made the running backs cut back
to the middle and our strong safe-
ty, Brad Schettler, was there to
clean things up.
Our pass defense did not give up
a catch and on the play of the night
Roger Gonsior picked off a pass
and returned it for a 31 yard touch-
down. This happened because Levi
May hustled down field to throw
not one but two huge blocks that
sprang Gonsior down the sideline.
That type of hustle is flat out fun to
watch. Levi made a crushing block
and bounced off him to get down
field and make the second one.
On offense we again controlled
the ball in the first half as we
rushed 28 times for 157 yards. We
also threw three times completing
two for 43 yards and a touchdown

By Coach Irsfeld
On Thursday evening the Tiger Volleyball team hosted their first con-
ference match up with the Royalton Royals. The Tigers were defeated 1-
3 (22-25, 23-25, 25-14, and 20-25). Stats for the game were 89% serving,
4% attacking, 19% setting, and an average pass rate of one (three being a
great pass). Our passing didn't compliment our setting and it certainly
didn't do much for our attacks. We do not have an offense if we do not
have a pass. We've got to become a more consistent team all around, and
it starts with a pass.
Royalton talked, covered the court well, and kept the ball alive.
Brianna Ludwig had 10 blocks, 10 kills, 13 set assists, and 12 digs. Kayla
Dreher had 15 digs, Sam Salber had 11 set assists, Megan Kruzel had 13
digs and 4 serving aces, and Becky Ecklund had 8 kills and 3 serving aces.
The Browerville Invitational was held on Saturday. Bertha-Hewitt took
1st, KMS 2nd, Brandon/Evansville 3rd, Henning 4th, Browerville 5th,
Osakis 6th, Eagle Valley 7th, and Isle 8th. The Tigers were 2-2 for the day
losing to KMS 1-2 and Henning 0-2 and then defeating Eagle Valley 2-0
and Osakis 2-0.
The girls really made an effort to talk on the court as well as on the
bench. It made a difference in our court play. Our passing really fell apart
in the Henning game but other than that we passed more consistently.
On the day the Tigers had 21 serving aces, 77 kills, 68 set assists, 102
digs, and 31 blocks. Highlighted stats were Ludwig with 25 digs, 9 blocks,
22 kills, and 29 set assists. Jerica Thompson had 18 kills and 11 blocks.
Salber had 33 set assists and 12 digs. Ecklund had 5 serving aces, 13 digs,
and 12 kills. Dreher had 17 digs and Kenley Johnson had 11 digs. Go
Tigers!
