Although the Lady Vikings played one of their best matches just a few weeks ago in a 3-1 loss to the Saints, it was still a bitter pill to swallow suffering a 3-0 regional loss at the hands of the Saints last Tuesday night. Northwood-Kensett started the first set, like it did all three, securing...

For the second year in a row the Northwood-Kensett football team lost its regular season finale to the Warriors of Rudd-Rockford-Marble Rock. And while last season’s 26-20 loss only meant the two teams would share a district title in a three-way tie with Don Bosco, last Friday night’s 44-12...
The Northwood-Kensett boys and girls cross-country teams traveled to Cedar Falls last Thursday afternoon to compete in the class 1A state qualifying meet held at Birdsall Park. With the team's most decorated runner failing to finish, it was Rachel Hill who took top honors for the girls team,...
Stat of the Week:  Every now and then roaming the sidelines of an N-K football season you see an undersized kid that makes you think that if he were six foot and 200 pounds it would almost be illegal to put him on the field with other kids. This is Brandon Varner, who runs much bigger than his 5...

With new rules in effect this season dictating who goes to the playoffs and who stays home, there will be no hope of a tie at the top of the district standings for the Northwood-Kensett football team. With its 56-6 loss to Don Bosco, the Vikings have no chance at sharing a district title this...

Carter Severson: While the quarterbacks and defensive linemen usually get all the press, take a look at any successful team and you’ll find kids that make a huge impact, not by being great at any one thing, but being good at everything they do. For the Vikings that player is Carter Severson....

It happens every year to the Northwood-Kensett volleyball team. Just as they start to play well and come together as a team, the Lady Vikings hit a stretch in their schedule that has them playing one match a week, for weeks on end, resulting in just a handful of matches over the final month of play, all this while other area teams are playing the full complement of matches allowed by the state. Just take a look at the records of teams that advance come tournament time, all have played more matches than N-K.
