Graettinger High edged Mallard in a tense county tournament game as Jones and Wikert led the offense while Bonstead anchored center play. The Ayrshire crowd packed with Graettinger fans witnessed a close finish with Mallard rallying late and the local band earning praise for its performance.
In a picturesque county final between Graettinger and Emmetsburg both schools produced strong showings. Graettinger led at times but Emmetsburg's Dunmire side held the edge, with a late surge in overtime and Ronatead saving his team as the game extended beyond regulation.
The lanky Bonstead of Graettinger sank two close range shots to pull the game from danger and seal an 82 to 28 county championship for Graettinger. The article lauds coach Dunmire and players Brechler Wikert Johnson and Grodland, praises Bonstead over Peterson, and notes Armstrong’s clean sweep of the Emmet county tournament with tight scores across rounds.
