The Rangers football team travelled to Andes Central High School Aug. 20 to take on the Tripp-Delmont Thunderhawks.
 
According  to Coach Brett Eckert, the game was a “good way to see where we need to improve and get better.”
 
 Despite fighting hard, the team made  too many mistakes, killing drives offensively.  
 
“We did have some success moving the ball at times, but once again we can’t have miscues that then kill a drive,” Eckert said.

Published by admin on Thu, 06/09/2022 - 10:25am

The Hill City Rangers Golf Team took 17th overall at their first trip to a state  tournament in the history of the school.
Normally a two-day event, intermittent rain hampered play for all the teams involved. Play on Monday was suspended in the afternoon due to rain. The boys were able to continue that first round on Tuesday morning. However by afternoon rains caused the entire event to cease, and only the first round scores were counted.
