Friday night’s quarterfinal round for both the Harvard and Sutton football teams were true gut checks.

Harvard seemingly had a comfortable lead in the first half, leading, at one point, 32-6 early in the second quarter, but had to hold on for dear life in a 78-72 win to advance to the Class D-6 semifinals for the fourth straight year.

The Mustangs had to rebound from a 21-8 halftime deficit to outscore the visiting Battle Creek Braves, 36-7, in the second half to reach the Class C-2 state semifinals.

Edgar veteran reminisces Air Force, co. VSO careers

Edgar veteran reminisces Air Force, co. VSO careers

It all began with a draft notice for the Korean War.

Born and raised in Edgar, Jack Cox had been working for two years at the Hastings Naval Ammunition Depot since his 1950 graduation from Edgar High School. His shift supervisor was a Navy man and had warned Cox that the draft would put him on the frontlines unless he enlisted on his own volition.

To avoid the draft, Cox and a friend opted to join the Navy. The only problem was that the Navy recruiter was not in the office that day, so they went with the branch of military whose recruiter was represented—the U.S. Air Force.

HPS Board discusses various items Monday

BY ASHLEY D. SWANSON

Harvard’s School Board covered a variety of topics during its Monday meeting.

Harvard has declared to stay in the six-man football realm, meaning for the next two years, unless enrollment numbers change for boys in nine through 12th grades, Harvard may not be eligible for playoffs.

Principal Neil Riley gave an update on the zSpace units. Six units are now in the building and are used as 3D learning modules in the science area. Riley said they are hoping HPS will be able to get additional funds for more subject options in the future.
