The Minster girls’ golf team was in action and captured the Midwest Athletic Conference tournament championship, defeating the second-place Versailles Tigers by more than 20 strokes. The Wildcats finished the regular-season campaign as the conference’s champion in both the standings and the MAC tournament. The Orange and Black were led by Claire Fischer’s 88, while Kelly Mueller came in with an 89, Marissa Conrad a 98, and Margo Slonkosky a 103. New Bremen finished in sixth place overall and were led in scoring by Rachel Parker with a 101.

The New Bremen Cardinals hosted the Parkway Panthers in Midwest Athletic Conference action and dominated the first half before rolling to the 20-0 victory. Aaron Schmitmeyer got the scoring underway in the opening quarter with an 18-yard touchdown run, while a 44-yard run by Matt Hudson and a 27-yarder from Andy Hudson was all the Cardinals needed in the second quarter to improve to 4-1 on the season and even their record in the MAC at 1-1.

50 Years Ago (1971)

Although they suffered a defeat, the New Bremen football program had a historic week as they played in their first-ever allvarsity football contest. The Cardinals fell to North Baltimore by a final of 40-0. Head coach Gene Brindise’s club rostered no seniors and were prepared to join the Tri-County League in 1972, but squared off against their first varsity opponent and fell to 2-11 on the season. The Cardinals gained 14 first downs in the contest and accumulated 121 total yards.
