The South Sub-Section 8 tournament begins Oct 8 and continues with the semifinals and finals Oct. 11 at Gold's Gym in Sartell. But first, the Tigers have CLC matches remaining with Apollo on Wednesday, Brainerd on Thursday, Willmar on Oct 5 and Ro-cori on Oct. 7. Willmar beat Tech 4-3 on Sept 2.

"We're getting a lot better, so I'm feeling good about our chances," said Bates, whose team lost 4-3 to Litchfield on Monday. "We've been playing really well and have improved all the way through the lineup. There's some girls who have worked really hard and it would be a great reward to get there." Litchfield is likely to be the No. 1 seed, followed by the winner of Tuesday's Tech-Willmar match at No. 2 and the loser at No.

Lisbon lost a four-hour marathon, ending Tech's hopes of getting back to state. 4 Lisbon played No. 1 doubles Tuesday and teammed with Aaryn Anderson to win 6-2, 6-1, but she has been playing No. 1 singles most of the year and aches for another chance in the playofls.

"I really want to be out there again in that situation," Lisbon said. Tm definitely ready. Not very many people on this team have been to state and we all hope for the best to get there. It's definitely worth it" If Tech is able reach its state tournament goal, Bates will point to a recent scrimmage against another strong Class A team Benilde-St. Margaret's as the turning point.

The Tigers won that scrimmage, giving them needed confidence heading into the stretch run as they try to win their 15th straight sophomore at St Thomas, and Jacki Barten of Melrose, a senior at Concordia, each earned MIAC awards for the week of Sept. 27. Jansen, a sophomore quarterback for the Tommies, had no turnovers and led a late-game 69-yard scoring drive that broke a 21-21 tie and let St. Thomas escape with a 28-21 road victory over Augsburg. Jansen had a 45-yard completion that set up the go-ahead points.

He finished 21 of 34 for 258 yards, including a 45-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Barten, a senior hitter on the Cobbers' volleyball team, helped her team to conference victories over Macalester, St Olaf and St Mary's. Barten had 10 kills and four blocks as part of a defense that limited St. Mary's to only a .076 attack percentage. She has 437 career blocks and needs 16, to break the school record' Barten also had 17 kills against St Olaf.

From Page ID Area When he gets to the course, he's thinking about the race. When away from it he's an outgoing personality not afraid to have a little fun. "I usually think about going out there conservatively and build up toward the end of the race," Stolt-man said. But I'm really not a conservative person. My personality chances at the course." As far as the state meet goes, if he qualifies, Stolt-man is confident his knowledge of the course can be an advantage.

"I know what the course is about and how much I'll have left at certain points said Stoltman, who hopes to run cross country in college. "I know where to speed up and go all out for the finish."
