Wrestling is in full swing, heres what to expect! Girls wrestling started last week with a six girl roster which is the most they've every had. It is up from four last year and we hope to see it keep growing. The boys team started this monday with 17 and hope to fill a full competitive varsity roster. They are ranked 17th as a dual team. 

On Monday, October 27th the Earlham Varsity volleyball team took on Grundy Center in the third round of regionals. Going in, the Earlham volleyball team knew it was going to be a tough game since Grundy Center has a 6 '8” middle. The Earlham girls found ways to score around her and fought their hardest till the end. Unfortunately, the girls came up short in 3 sets. Although this puts an end to their postseason run, they had an amazing overall season with 20 wins!

On Friday, October 17th, the cards traveled to Lynville-Sully High School for their last regular-season game. They started slowly, down 14-0 in the first quarter, but battled back in the 2nd to put 14 points on the board, and a missed field goal by the Hawks. Finally, Lynville Sully added one more touchdown on the board with a few minutes left until halftime. The final score was 20-14 in favor of the Hawks. The game was cut short due to lightning and rain delays. Cash Eitel, a junior, had both of the cards' touchdowns, with a total of 62 yards receiving for the night. Who knows how the outcome of the game might have changed if it hadn’t been cut short, but it didn’t matter, because we still would secure the #4 playoff seed and will take on Pekin in the first round of the playoffs!
