The Garner-Hayfield-Ventura boys picked up two more big wins in action last week, including defeating Forest City, who they are now tied with for second place in the Top of Iowa Conference.  Bishop Garrigan leads the conference with a record of 8-1, while GHV and Forest City stand at 8-2.

Two more wins last week moved the third rated (3A) Clear Lake girls to 12-1 overall and 7-0 in the North Central Conference.

This week the team will host Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Friday and then travel to play at Algona Tuesday, Jan. 23.  That game will be key in the race for a conference crown, as Algona is presently in second place in the standings with a 5-2 NCC record.

The Garner-Hayfield-Ventura girls split a pair of games last week.  The team is now in sixth place in the Top of Iowa Conference with a record of 4-6.  North Union leads the conference with a record of 9-0.

It was a good night for the GHV girls when they hosted North Iowa (2-7, 3-9) on Tuesday, Jan. 9.

It was a day of disappointment for the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura wrestling team when they competed in the Lake Mills Dual Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 13.  The Cardinals dropped four duals at the tournament.

GHV is still plagued by not being able to fill a roster, as they forfeit numerous matches during each dual.  Jared Shaw, GHV’s top wrestler, was absent from the line-up on Saturday.

Lake Mills shut out GHV, 78-0.
