It wasn't pretty at Hantho Township in Lac qui Parle County, where the host LQPV Eagles blasted Sauk Centre in a 40-13 loss for the Maroon.
At halftime, Sauk Centre trailed 20-6, with their lone touchdown coming in the second quarter on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Knoblauch to Roosevelt Austin. In the third quarter, Terrence Ellis scored on a rushing play from six yards out, with Josh Buschette's PAT kick making it 26-13 at that point.
Sauk Centre rushed for 252 yards while getting 78 more through the air. They gave up no interceptions and no lost fumbles. Roosevelt Austin had 17 carries for 144 yards. LQPV had 276 yards on the ground and 45 through the air on 2-of-2 passing. Four of the Eagles' six touchdowns were on the ground, one was on a kickoff return and the other was on a 20-yard pass play. Pete Sprengeler earned the Mainstreeters' fumble recovery.
The Mainstreeters (0-3) will host winless Minnewaska Area (0-4) next Friday night at O'Gara Field in Sauk Centre.
The Lakers took it to the wire both last week and this week against the top two teams in the West Central North Conference. Last week they fell 28-21 at Albany, while this week they hosted New London-Spicer (3-0) and fell in a close battle 19-13.

Mainstreeters search for first win of the football season at Lac qui Parle Valley
Kickoff at Lac qui Parle Valley high school's football stadium is at 7 p.m. tonight, when the host Eagles and Sauk Centre Mainstreeters will battle in a North/South West Central Conference crossover game.
LQPV high school is located about 10 miles south of Appleton on State Highway 40/291st Avenue. From Sauk Centre, you'd travel through Glenwood and Benson and then take US Highway 12 westbound from Benson as if you were going to Big Stone City/Milbank, South Dakota. Take US Highway 59 south from Hwy 12 at the Holloway turn.
A great shortcut exists that cuts out Glenwood, Benson and Appleton, saving about 10 minutes of driving. It's too complicated to explain in a nutshell, however.

Mainstreeters volleyball sweeps rival New London-Spicer - Girls' tennis wins big at Minnewaska
The Sauk Centre Mainstreeters volleyball team won in three tonight against visiting New London-Spicer to improve to 3-0 in the West Central Conference and 8-0 overall.
They will now gear up for a huge 16-team tournament hosted at Sauk Rapids-Rice high school. Teams included are defending Class AA champion Wadena-Deer Creek, Holdingford, Mora, Annandale, Rogers, Elk River, Dassel-Cokato,
Melrose Area, St. Cloud Cathedral, Albany, St. Cloud Apollo, Little Falls, Long Prairie-Grey Eagle, Sauk Rapids-Rice and Kimball Area.
Action begins at 9 a.m.
In a West Central North match at Minnewaska Area, the Mainstreeters girls' tennis team won 6-1 over the Lakers to improve to 2-1 in the conference. Next Monday, the Mainstreeters (10-4) travel to Melrose Area for what is probably the conference dual meet championship. The following day the girls' tennis team hosts New London-Spicer. If Melrose beats Sauk Centre on Monday, they will essentially clinch the WCCN title for 2011. If the Mainstreeters can pull off the win, they probably will end up as co-champions of the WCCN with the Dutchmen. The match on Monday is HUGE!
At the Little Crow Golf Course, both of the Mainstreeters cross country teams took fifth place out of seven complete teams in each division.
Area volleyball results on Sept. 15:
Long Prairie-Grey Eagle 3, Royalton 0
Osakis 3, West Central Area 1

Streeter volleyball sweeps Melrose Area - Swimming and Diving defeats Cathedral
Sauk Centre's volleyball team won game one 30-28! Then they defeated the Dutchmen 25-14 and 25-10 to earn a sweep and improve to 2-0 in the West Central North Conference. The Mainstreeters (7-0 overall) will host New London-Spicer this week Thursday in another conference match. This is a change from the regular season schedule.
After hanging on for the 30-28 win in game one, the Mainstreeters clawed back and forth with the Dutchmen past a 9-9 tie, ultimately going up 22-13 before taking a 25-14 win. Game three was all Mainstreeters, as they jumped out to a commanding 17-6 lead and never looked back. Macy Weller and fellow junior Brianna VonWahlde both earned kills for the Mainstreeters' final two points of the match in a 25-10 game three win.
Sauk Centre improved to 7-0 overall, while Melrose fell to 3-1.
After defeating the I-94 rival Dutchmen, Coach Klaphake praised his team's performance in beating a tough conference opponent. He cited the new feature on this year's team, the use of a jump serve by multiple players, as one reason for the early success they've had.
Action from game two tonight in Sauk Centre...
The Mainstreeters swimming and Diving team gave a great performance at a home dual meet against St. Cloud Cathedral/St. John's Prep while earning a 104-79 win to remain undefeated in dual or triangular competition at 4-0. **Video and photos from the meet will be added Wednesday morning.
Down in Albany, the visiting Minnewaska Lakers won game three to make it a 2-1 volleyball match against the Huskies. Game four is underway.
