Snelling claims title for Clear Lake; GHV’s Frayne places 13th

Clear Lake’s Emily Snelling claimed the individual Class 3A championship at the Iowa Girls State Golf Meet held Monday and Tuesday, June 1-2, in Marshalltown.

It was a disappointing loss for the Garner-Hayfield/Ventura girls soccer team as they lost in the first round of Class 1A Regional play to Humboldt on Tuesday, June 2.  The Cardinals had beaten the Wildcats two times earlier in the season.

“It is hard to beat a team three times in a season.  Sooner or later they are going to get you and it was just unfortunate it had to happen in Regional play,” said Coach Josh Banse.

The top ranked Clear Lake baseball team (2A) notched five wins last week over schools ranging in size from Class 1A to 4A.  Coach Seth Thompson said he suspects his team could lose their week one number one ranking, due to a pair of losses, but count on the Lions to keep challenging for the top spot.  They are currently 2-0 in the North Central Conference and 7-2 overall.

CL 5, IFA 1

The Clear Lake softball team suffered four losses in four days last week, dropping their record to 0-7.

Iowa Falls-Alden 9, CL 1

The Lions pounded out 14 hits, but a strong start by the Iowa Falls-Alden Cadets was too much to overcome.  They were defeated, 9-1.

All nine of the Cadets’ runs crossed home plate in the first inning.
