Submitted by admin on Thu, 03/06/2025 - 5:01pm

Morgan Mann (left), Ava Fischer (center) and Paige Nelson of Humboldt were selected all-conference by NCC girls' basketball coaches.

HUMBOLDT – Humboldt High senior Morgan Mann, the school’s all-time leading scorer in five-player girls’ basketball, was one of four players who were unanimously named first-team all-North Central Conference.

The post-season honors listing by the coaches was released last week.

Humboldt junior Ava Fischer was also selected to the first team while Humboldt senior guard Paige Nelson was chosen third team.

Humboldt finished 12-11 overall, 7-5 and third in the conference standings. The Wildcats, who had a rugged non-conference slate, advanced to a regional semifinal, where they were sidelined by Estherville.

In addition to all-conference honors, Mann was to the Class 3A-6 all-region team. It also included Haylee Stokes and Rylee Yager of ELC, Bella Schisel of Garner, Jordan Valley of Hampton and Addison Marcks of Osage.

Hundreds without power in Humboldt and Surrounding Counties

Submitted by admin on Wed, 03/05/2025 - 10:13am

Many people in Humboldt and surrounding counties are without power today due to the storm. According to the Department of Transportation, many roads have been deemed impassable. Plows have been pulled in the area, and a tow ban has been put into place. Multiple vehicles have been stranded, and clogged roads are making it difficult for emergency services to get to those stranded. Authorities are asking that people stay home today to allow for emergency crews to work safely.
