WEBSTER CITY — Tyler Olson was staring at several less-than-ideal milestones while he slowly walked to the plate as darkness enveloped Lynx Field Tuesday night. First pitching loss in more than a year — 370 days, if you’re looking for an exact figure. First pitching loss to a ...
WEBSTER CITY — Hits, hits, more hits and even more hits — Webster City showed that generating offense isn’t a problem Monday night at Lynx Field. But defense and the ability to finish off contests strong, well, those are different stories. Ten different players joined the offensive ...

IOWA FALLS — Less than 48 hours after a stinging 6-5, 9-inning loss to second-ranked (Class 3A) Humboldt, the Webster City softball team had one mission in its return to the diamond here Friday night. OK, Kelly Stoakes, what specifically was that mission? “We just wanted to come out ...
GILBERT — Once lethal, the South Hamilton bats have gone virtually silent over the past two weeks. After scoring 27 runs in their opening two games, both wins, the Hawks have put up just two runs over their last three contests, all losses. “We’ve come to the conclusion that we deal ...
GILBERT — Close through four innings, Gilbert exploded for seven runs in the fifth and added three more in the sixth to end its Heart of Iowa Conference clash with South Hamilton an inning early here Friday night. The Tigers (5-2, 4-1 HOIC) belted 13 hits during their 14-4 win over the ...
HUMBOLDT — The postgame meeting in right field was quiet and quick, and the Webster City players quickly, and silently, collected their belongings from the dugout and trudged toward the bus Wednesday night. Head coach Jess Howard didn’t leave the field immediately though. She stood ...

BALLARD HANDLES LYNX IN 6: Playing four games in four days caught up to the Webster City baseball team last night at Lynx Field in Webster City. A weary WCHS club committed seven defensive errors, allowed seven free passes on walks and conjured up just one base hit in an 11-1, 6-inning ...
WEBSTER CITY — An opposing pitcher is probably never going to look at Webster City junior Trey Lyons and get worried. Lyons isn’t big, he’s not brash, and he’s certainly not cocky. But that quiet kid sitting in the No. 8 hole in the Lynx lineup can hit. After taking a three-year ...
WEBSTER CITY — Seething a bit following back-to-back losses to ninth-ranked (Class 3A) Algona, the Webster City softball team needed to release some frustration before it faces second-ranked (3A) Humboldt this evening. Clear Lake just happened to be in the line of fire. Spotting the ...
CLEAR LAKE — Adison Kehoe says it’s unfair to expect Tyler Olson to do Tyler Olson things each and every time he takes the ball and steps onto the mound. Webster City’s head baseball coach may be right, but if it’s not broke, well, you know the rest. Olson, a WCHS junior, showed ...
ALGONA — The outcome didn’t change in two days, but the manner in which the game played out certainly did. Following a tightly-contested 2-0 North Central Conference win over 15th-ranked (Class 4A) Webster City on Wednesday, ninth-ranked (3A) Algona took the Lynx behind the woodshed in ...
WEBSTER CITY — In maybe a weird way, Webster City head baseball coach Adison Kehoe got to have his cake and eat it too Wednesday evening at Lynx Field. His club got the win, that’s the headline. But the still young leader of the Lynx program also had many chances to scribble down ...
WEBSTER CITY — Putting a crooked number on the scoreboard is tough when Kameryn Etherington is in the pitcher’s circle for Algona. So when the opportunity presents itself, you’ve got to capitalize. And Webster City simply didn’t do that Wednesday night. The result: an uphill climb ...
