The Clear Lake boys tennis team improved its record to 8-1 last week with victories over three teams.  Even more impressive is that the Lions didn’t drop a single match in all of the meets.

The Garner-Hayfield-Ventura girls golf team outdistanced their nearest competitor by 48 strokes when they traveled to Country Greens Golf Course, in Armstrong, Iowa, Monday, May 2.  The Cardinals carded a 213 to win the meet, followed by North Union with 261 and West Hancock with 268.

“Our scores were a little above normal, but considering that the course is a par 38 we’re right in line with where we’ve been all season,” said Coach Todd Greiman.

The Garner-Hayfield-Ventura girls soccer team hosted Aplington-Parkersburg on Thursday, May 5.  The Cardinals fell, 2-0, to the talented AP team.

“A-P is a great team, they played really well and had a great plan for this game,” said Coach Josh Banse.  ‘We took some great shots on goal, but sometimes it just doesn’t go your way.”

Losing key players Tehya Mitchell and Ashley Markla to injuries in the first half was another factor that didn’t go GHV’s way.

Goalie Morgan Westendorf had 10 saves for the Cardinals.
