Kasson, MN—All facets of the Dodge County game were clicking this weekend as the boys went 4-0. JV beat Luverne 16-0 and Waconia 4-2, while Varsity beat Luverne 4-2 and Waconia 6-2.

On Friday night in Luverne, Jake Isaak (So., Byron) scored two goals in the first period. Isaak dumped the puck in and hustled to the net after the goalie could not cover it up fast enough. The second goal deflected in off his shoulder following a James McPeak (So., Byron) shot from the point. Luverne tied the score at 2-2 at 3:33 of the third period, but Brendon Wolesky (So., Byron) slammed in the game winner at 7:59 of the third period. On the power play, Isaak and Wolesky were parked in front of the net when McPeak took a shot from the point. The goalie rejected the Isaak rebound, but Wolesky was not to be denied. Gavin Giesler (So., KM) stretched the lead to 4-2 assisted by Wolesky and Ethan Dale (Jr., Pine Island). Isaac Dale (So., Pine Island) made 24 saves and got some help from the post and crossbar as Luverne banged 4 shots off the iron.
