10 years ago on Sept. 15, 2012: Lorin Johnson of Miller had one of the best 90 minutes of his life Saturday at Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron. The veteran auto racer won the $3,000 Super Stock feature championship at the WISSOTA 100 and a drawing for $10,000 several minutes before his race.

20 years ago on Sept. 13, 2002: The Huron football team led host Aberdeen Central 9-7 at the end of the third quarter, but the Golden Eagles rallied for a 22-9 win.
