• Firebirds taken down by Mavs (nujournal.com) — Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop’s Homecoming football game didn’t go as hoped for local fans, with the Firebirds shut out 38-0 by Martin County West in Gibbon. After standout Matthew Lee left early with a hand injury, Cayson Gosewich and sophomore quarterback Kellen Nachreiner tried to spark the offense, but GFW fell to 0-5 and now prepares to host Lester Prairie Friday night.
