10 years ago (1997):The Bismarck High School soccer team was caught this season in the best kind of Catch-22.

Senior center-midfielder Cody Walker was one of the main reasons why the Demons won their second straight state title, and the Demons' success is one reason why Walker is a co-Mr. Soccer for 1997.

BHS coach Lou Ogaard found it tough to single out Walker as his nominee.

"We had a lot of good players," Ogaard said.

20 years ago (1987): The success of Elgin-New Leipzig's Class B nine-man football was once described in two words - Brad Zimmerman.

Zimmerman wasn't the only Dutchmen to step up in the state quarterfinals.

Jon Ketterling rushed for 251 yards on 20 carries, Mark Eslinger had 124 yards in seven carries and quarterback Ken Roth passed for 78 yards.

50 years ago (1957): A perfect strike from Fargo Dave Mulholland to Larry Danner in the third period of the East-West Conference championship game was the key play, according to Bismarck coach Woody Wilson.

"We weren't in the ballgame after that," the Bismarck Demons coach said, referring to Bismarck's 26-13 loss to Fargo in the championship tilt.

Wilson, his assistant, Arne Martin, coach Dave O'Brien of St. Mary's Central High, and Dick Karlgaard, football coach at Bismarck Junior College, were guests of the Exchange Club.
