DONNELLSON -- Marking a game on a team's calendar seems to work well for the Burlington Notre Dame Nikes baseball team. It also helps to be the recipient of 12 bases on balls, two errors and a three-run home run from Eli Oleson as well as 11 other hits. The result was Notre Dame's 15-1 five-inning victory at Super Conference South Division rival Central Lee Thursday night. "We marked this game on our schedule, knowing it will be a tough game," Notre Dame coach Chris Chiprez said.

WATERLOO -- The goal from the beginning of the year was a Class 2A state golf tournament berth. The Central Lee High School boys golf team hadn't lost a meet going into the postseason but finished third in a sectional where the top three teams advance. The Hawks finished third again at districts, but somehow qualified for state by virtue of a tiebreaker with three teams. "I thought we did really good overall for our first time being here," Hawk junior Mylan Lowenberg said.
