There’s a great new invention - at least new to me - for NFL fans. It’s been around a few years but this is the first season I’ve had access. As a Miami Dolphins fan, about 2,000 miles away from the stadium formerly known as Joe Robbie, I don’t get to see many Fish games. I don’t have the NFL package and never have. For years I’ve been relegated to watching whatever my local Fox or CBS station decides to show me. Until now. Until I discovered the NFL Red Zone Channel. I’d heard of the Red Zone but didn’t have it and never quite knew what it wa...
With Dylan Brenner scoring early and often to lead a busy attack, the Warriors proved an unpleasant guest as they cruised to a 69-38 victory over Peetz in a non-district game Tuesday night. Adding to the Bulldogs difficult night was a note of uncertainty over the condition of their leading scorer, Josh Fiscus, who has been hampered by back pain. Before the game Head Coach and Josh's father Bill Fiscus wasn't sure how much he was willing to play his son in a game that had no meaning in the...
With a balanced scoring attack the host Bulldogs upended the Leyton 43-29 in a non-district game Tuesday night. Hampered by the absence of senior Katy Ernest and two quick fouls on Kaitlyn Berner, the Warriors stumbled out of the gate, falling behind 12-2 after the first quarter. Though Kelsey Waite gave the visitors a quick 2-0 lead, the Bulldogs finished out the period on a 12-0 run. Peetz drew from many sources to register their their shattering start, but Beth Bernhardt contributed most...
The Sidney freshmen girls team continued their strong early season play, toppling the Kimball Longhorns 57-13 at the Cabela's Athletic Facility Monday evening. For the Raiders it was their third win in as many games. Last week Sidney went 2-0 in a tournament at MItchell, which included a one-point victory over Chadron (24-23) and a blowout win over Scottsbluff. "This is a good group of girls we have here and we've had a nice week," said Raiders Coach Dan Dorwart. "Sometimes we have games when...
With a balanced scoring attack the Red Raiders freshmen boys basketball team advanced its record to 2-1 with a 34-30 victory over the Kimball Longhorns at the Cabela's Athletic Facility on Monday night. Alex Linneman paced the Sidney attack with 12 points while Kyler Cole added 8. Yeager Price and Zach Means dropped in 7 points each. While the Raiders held the lead much of the contest the largest advantage they could manage was 7 points, on two occassions early in the second half. The Longhorns...
It was nearly quiet enough in the Scottsbluff High School Gym on Friday afternoon that, had somebody dropped a penny on the floor, anyone in the sparse crowd could have heard it. A similar scene took place at the Western Nebraska Junior College gym the following morning. Despite uninspiring atmosphere of early tip times, the Sidney girls basketball team swept their final two games of the Western Conference Invitational over the weekend. After a slow start, the Raiders (2-1) dispatched Alliance...
The Red Raiders were a little like Jekyll and Hyde over the weekend, as they split the final two games of the Western Conference Invitational in Scottsbluff. On Friday evening, Paxton Ehler led the Red Raiders (1-2) with 37 points in a 79-72 defeat of district rival Alliance. On Saturday morning Sidney struggled with its shooting touch against a Scottsbluff Bearcats team that had no such issues. Scottsbluff ran away with a 63-41 victory to even the Raiders district record at 1-1. The Omaha...
In their season opener at the Bayard Invite, the Leyton Warriors spoiled the host's opener with a 42-39 victory on Friday in girls basketball action. Leyton's weekend was dampened a little the following day as they were dropped by Lingle-Fort Laramie (Wyo.) 55-20. Kaitlyn Berner was a strong force for the Warriors, with a team leading 15 points. She was backed up by 7 points by Diedra Waite, 5 from Dani McKay and 4 each by Jessica Houk and Natalie Cruise. Berner and Waite were also strong at...
The Leyton hoop team opened its season on Friday on a positive note with a 47-42 win against the hosts at the Bayard Invitational. Things didn't go as well in their second contest on Saturday when the Warriors fell to Bridgeport 61-43. In the season opener against Bayard, Cody McKay paced the Warriors on offense with 22 points, while Brennen Cruise tacked on 11. Cruise matched his point total on the boards with 11 rebounds while Dylan Brenner and Jared Westman pulled down 5 each. "We need to...
It didn't appear as though the roughly 400-mile journey from Omaha had any adverse effects on the Skutt Catholic SkyHawks on Thursday night. While the Red Raiders were solid in the first and fourth quarters of their season and home opener, the SkyHawks pressed their size advantage in the middle frames to down Sidney in a non-district game 51-41 at the Cabela's Athletic Facility. Both teams now travel to Scottsbluff for round two of the Western Conference Invitational. The Raiders move to the...
While the Sidney Red Raiders boys baskeball team was struggling to take care of the ball in the first quarter Thursday night at the Cabela's Athletic Facility, the Omaha Skutt Catholic SkyHawks took advantage. After jumping out to a 12-1 lead the Sky Hawks kept up the pressure on their way to a 67-38 non-league win over the Raiders in a first-round game of the Western Conference Invitational. The Raiders will travel to Scottsbluff to play in the second round of the tournament against a more...

When I was a little boy I spent as much time outdoors as I could. I was the type of kid who often came home with scraped knees and dirty clothes. But sometimes it rained and I needed something to occupy my time. Last week I took possession of something I haven’t owned in a decade or more. There was a time when I would purchase one annually. I even used to add one to my Christmas list as a young boy. Since it’s relatively inexpensive, it was one of the things on the list I actually got. Perhaps its because of the Internet that I got out of the...
With a strong sense of optimism surrounding the Sidney High School boys basketball team, the 2013-14 Raiders were unveiled to the public Monday night in a Nebraska Hall of Fame game at the Cabela's Athletic Facility. Although just an exhibition benefit which carries no weight in the standings, the new-look Raiders passed their first test in fine style, recording a 62-58 triumph over the North Platte Bulldogs, a Class A opponent. "You could feel the excitement we were really looking forward to...
In a final tune up before the real action begins on Thursday, the Sidney Red Raiders girls basketball team took on Class A North Platte Monday night in an annual game to benefit the Nebraska Hall of Fame. While the Raiders starters played the Bulldogs nearly even for a little over a half, the eastern invaders pulled away in second half for a 45-23 victory at Cabela's Athletic Facility.
