WORTHINGTON — When Bob Purcell transitioned into the full-time men’s athletic director role at Minnesota West Community & Technical College in 2017, it was a career-turning move. That year, he had just stepped down from a 20-year reign as the head wrestling coach, but the job he was moving into was far from unfamiliar. “The athletic director at the time had a stroke and I took it over for a year,” Purcell said.

1 month ago | dglobe.com | Skyler Jackson

EDGERTON — In one of the longest high school baseball games in Minnesota history, Edgerton/SWC finally got the best of area rival Adrian/Ellsworth 3-2 in a 17-inning Sub-Section 3A clash.
