 HARLAN -- As regular season losses go, this one was a gut wrencher for the Harlan Community football team. Leading sixth-ranked (3-A) Carroll 19-0 at halftime, the Cyclones allowed 35 second-half points, turned the ball over three times in their last four possessions and had their playoff hopes dashed with Friday night’s 35-32 Homecoming loss to the Tigers. Carroll was often its own worst enemy during a first half that included three fumbles

 NEWTON -- The Harlan Community volleyball team took some steps in the right direction at Saturday’s Newton Tournament, stealing a set from top-ranked Pella and placing third out of eight teams with a 3-2 record. HCHS finished second to Pella in Pool B, lost another three-setter to Newton in the semifinals and finished with a 25-23, 25-15 sweep of Boone in the third-place final. The Cyclones, 9-12 overall, will now face one of their busiest we

 HARLAN -- On a proud night for Harlan Community Schools and HCHS volleyball coach Angie Spangenberg, the only thing missing was a victory on the court. Shaking off a slow start on Tuesday, the Cyclones built a two-sets-to-one lead against Red Oak but couldn’t quite seal the deal, losing a frustrating five-setter to the Tigers, 21-25, 25-13, 25-20, 20-25, 13-15. HCHS held its annual Teal Out Night for ovarian cancer awareness in conjuction wit

 HARLAN -- It’s only Week 6 and it’s also Homecoming, but Friday night’s clash with Carroll is basically a playoff game for the Harlan Community football team. A victory over the sixth-ranked Tigers (5-0 overall, 3-0 in Class 3-A, District 7) wouldn’t guarantee the Cyclones much of anything in terms of their postseason prospects, but it would at least keep them in the hunt as the calander turns to October.
