A school golf program with students from Hartsburg-Emden and Delavan high schools is coached by Jason Garber. Of Garber's 11-player roster, nine are freshmen or sophomores. More interestingly, about half didn't know how to play the game when they came out for the sport. Read more about this young and learning team in the special sports article below by Justin Tierney.

Roster: Hartsburg-Emden golfers: Dirk Conrady, senior; Doug Phillips, freshman; Josiah Gass, sophomore; Daphne Simer, junior; Dustin Wilham, sophomore. Delavan golfers: Zac Hartzler, senior; Sam Hodges, freshman; Teagan Teal, freshman; Josh Matthews, sophomore; Kaityln Dixon, sophomore; Ryan Borton, junior; Jon Gibson, sophomore.

It's that time of year when ghosts and goblins start haunting the streets of Lincoln, which means it's time to start planning to take a trip through the Lincoln Jaycees Haunted House. The house will open Oct. 5 at 325 S. Chicago St. This year the house will be open on Friday and Saturday nights as well as Wednesday nights.  There will also be "lights-on" matinees for the younger ones every Saturday at 6 p.m. through Halloween.
