The Renville County West (RCW) football team isn’t going to make it past the fourth game of the year.
The team, composed of players from Renville, Danube and Sacred Heart is halting the varsity season to prevent injury to younger players. In several cases seventh graders have been playing varsity football.
“They are going to pull out of the varsity schedule and play junior varsity games,” said Minneota Athletic Director Harlen Ulrich.

It wasn't pretty, but it was a win.

In the words of Coach Chad Johnston, after the 42-0 Minneota victory over Lakeview Friday night, "It's not many times you can score 42 points and yet we were not clickin'. We've been clickin' — but tonight we weren't."

"Defensive played phenominal tonight," her said, adding, "And you've got to give it to Cottonwood, they came out on a mission, they gambled and they taught us alot."
