Brittany Traynor is the new libraian/branch manager at the Belle Plaine Public Library. She started this week.

New Belle Plaine Librarian on the Job The Scott County Library System recently hired Brittany Traynor as branch manager for the Belle Plaine and Jordan public libraries. She began the job this past Monday. As branch manager, Traynor will be responsible for overseeing operations for both the Belle Plaine and Jordan libraries, serving as the lead librarian in Belle Plaine and providing support to the staff in Jordan. Traynor, who currently lives in Jordan, said she will be spending about three-quarters of her time on the job in Belle Plaine and the rest in Jordan. Traynor, who received her master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, previously worked for the Lonsdale Public Library and for the Eau Claire Area School District as a media specialist. She grew up in Eau Claire, graduating from Memorial High School there in 2004. “Brittany has a passion for the type of community-focused service that Scott County Library provides,” said Scott County Library Director Jake Grussing. “As an educator, she understands the crucial role the

library plays in early learning and preparing children for kindergarten, and her experience with technology integration will expand the reach and impact of our services to customers of all ages.” Grussing said about 30 people applied for the Belle Plaine/ Jordan job. Traynor replaces Melissa Smith, who recently accepted a job at the Prior Lake library. Smith had been the branch manager for Belle Plaine and Jordan since February of last year. She replaced longtime librarian Georgine Gansen, who retired.

Paul. Winning championships in their respective weight classes at this past Friday’s and Saturday’s section individual tournament at Mankato East High School for Scott West and their respective weight classes were junior Parker Huss (106), sophomore Jackson Stauffacher (126), senior Ben Kelvington (145) and sophomore Tyler Buesgens (182). Taking second and securing a spot in this week’s heavyweight bracket was Josiah Schatz. The Panthers’ five state qualifiers are two less than they’ve had each of the past two years. Stauffacher and Huss both placed fourth in their weight classes at last year’s state tournament, while Schatz was fifth. Kelvington is also a returning state qualifier. Buesgens is making his first state individual appearance. Scott West had three wrestlers just miss the cut Saturday after placing third – Tyler Shackle (106), Justin Stauffacher (113) and Carter Piche (132). Finishing fourth for the Panthers were Ryan Siegle and Deshawn Carter (see section recap story inside). Jackson Stauffacher and Kelvington are ranked No. 2 in the state in Class 2A in their respective weight classes. Holding down the No. 1 spots in those weights are Tucker Sjomeling of Delano (126) and Ryan Epps of Cannon Falls (145), both of whom are undefeated this season. Huss, who is ranked third in his weight class (120), would likely have to get past No. 1 Jake Gliva of Simley if he is to run the gauntlet this week. Buesgens, ranked No. 4 at 182, has both Spencer Elwell of Foley and Aaron Berge of Kas-

Family Seeking Donations for Reward to Help Find Killer This past Aug. 12, the Herald published a story about a 20year-old girl, Kristin O’Connell, who is buried in nearby St. Thomas Cemetery. She was brutally murdered 30 years ago in a small New York State community called Ovid. The murder remains unsolved and Kristin’s family continues

to seek closure. The family recently started a reward fund campaign to assist in finding Kristin’s killer, for which there are several suspects. More information about Kristin’s case and a reward fund page has been set up at https://www. gofundme.com/2hc83zjk.

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine City Council last Tuesday night unanimously agreed to authorize the mayor and city administrator to execute a memorandum of understanding regarding the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s (Mn/DOT) future plans for the Highway 169 corridor between Jordan and Belle Plaine. Mn/DOT has been hosting a series of meetings in regards to an access management plan for Highway 169 that has been split into two sections – one northern 5.7-mile segment from Highway 282 in Jordan to Belle Plaine, and one southern 7.1-mile segment from Belle Plaine to Highway 19. The primary focus has been strategies to increase safety along the corridor mainly through access reductions, median closures and realignments. Mn/DOT planners Tod Sherman and Diane Langenbach provided the council with the latest updates on the plans, which also includes a massive reconstruction project of the highway between Belle Plaine and Jordan. The season-long project, which will necessitate periodic lane shifts and traffic delays similar to those that were in place this past summer and fall in Jordan, is slated for 2018 but could be bumped up to 2017 if funding becomes available sooner than later. The southern segment from Belle Plaine to Highway 19 is scheduled for 2019 but could also be moved up. The estimated cost of both segments is $18 million. No city dollars will be used in paying for the projects. The costs will be covered by Mn/DOT. Sherman, who praised Belle Plaine for its current overpass project at Enterprise Drive, saying “I love this very low cost and smart design,” turned the floor over to Langenbach, who explained some of the proposed highway access changes between Belle Plaine and Jordan. Among those are the possible development of J-turns at Delaware Avenue/County Road 59 (near the Jordan Supper Club), Park Boulevard (near the former Hot Spot) and Old Highway 169/County Road 66, all in St. Lawrence Township. Other modifications to the system are also in the works. No access modifications are proposed within the city limits of Belle Plaine. J-turns are typically located on four-lane divided highways and prevent direct crossing and leftturn movements. These side road movements are made indirectly by making a right turn, traveling about a quarter-mile on the divided main road, and then making a U-turn to proceed in the opposite direction on the main road toward the intended destination. Proponents of J-turns say they reduce a significant number of the severe, right-angle, “far” side crashes. Relative to other improvement concepts, a J-turn is a low-cost treatment that can be quickly implemented, does not require property acquisition or relocation of homes and businesses, and minimizes environmental impact. A J-turn was recently con-

structed on Highway 212 in Cologne. Council Member Gary Trost, who drives school busses, requested to Langenbach and Sherman that they also consider adding acceleration lanes at County Road 3 in Belle Plaine. The city and Mn/DOT will continue discussions on the proposed changes as they become more finalized. However, it is a state project and Mn/DOT will have the final say. In other business last Tuesday night, the council unanimously approved the installation of flooring upgrades and new furniture at the Belle Plaine Fire Hall. On Dec. 21, the council okayed the first phase of improvements, which included replacing the ceiling tiles in the offices and meeting room, upgrading the light fixtures to energy-efficient LED lights and updating the kitchen counter tops, sink and wall covering. The majority of the labor for the first phase was supplied by fire department members working closely with the public works department. The next phase of improvements (approved last Tuesday) will con-

sist of replacing the flooring in the meeting room, hallways and offices, as well as new furniture, including tables, chairs and a new chief’s desk. “Based on research by the department and in speaking with the flooring vendors, the recommendation is to install commercial grade carpet tiles that can be replaced individually should they be damaged or stained,” stated a memo to the council from City Administrator Holly Kreft and Fire Chief Matt Stier. The total estimated cost of the flooring project is $7,587 and for the furniture $9,380. The city currently has $20,000 available in its capital improvement fund to cover the costs. *Called for a March 21 public hearing on proposed ordinance amendments pertaining to all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), animal control and large assembly regulations.

Oak Crest Elementary School sixth-graders including Ashlyn Ferguson made homemade ice cream with the help of FFA students visiting from Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School. The students’ visit was part of FFA Week. The students filled a quart-sized bag with whole milk, cream, sugar and vanilla. They placed the quart-sized bag inside a gallon-sized bag half-filled with ice/snow and rock salt. Tossing the bag froze the liquid and chilled it into ice cream.

All of the services will be held at The Parish of St. Joachim and Anne (Marystown). Visitation was on Sunday, February 21 from 3-7 p.m. and on Monday, February 22 from 9:15-10:30 a.m., with a Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. Father Erik Lundgren presided, with her grandsons as pall bearers. She was laid to rest next to her husband Lenny at St. Mary’s of Purification Catholic Cemetery in Marystown. Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home and Cremation, Shakopee Chapel, proudly served and cared for the Pieper family. She was the perfect example to her family on how to live a simple life. Phyllis represented how determination, strength and hard work will reap wonderful rewards, especially when it comes to family. Phyllis was a true representation of the cross. Her dedication to the Catholic faith was part of her continuous aura. She believed in being kind to everyone. Phyllis graced this world on February 4, 1938 in Prior Lake, MN. She was the third of six children born to parents Harvey and Irene (Menden) Molkenbur. It was growing up on the farm where her strong work ethic was instilled. Phyllis had fond memories ice skating on the pond, downhill skiing and

racing around the hay barn with her siblings Leonette, Jeannette, Ruth, Marcy and Wayne. She attended a small country school in Prior Lake through ninth grade. At the age of 15, Phyllis’ life was enriched with meeting a young handsome farm boy named Leonard Peter Pieper. Their love flourished and on May 2, 1956 at St. Mary’s of the Purification, they were joined together in Holy Matrimony. After honeymooning in the Black Hills, they settled down on the Pieper family farm in Marystown. Here Phyllis and Lenny were blessed with eight children from God: Sharon, David, Vernon, Beverly, Irene, Jeffrey, Rosemary and Pamela. For nearly 51 years, Phyllis and Lenny were rarely separated from each other. They spent countless hours mending fences, repairing buildings, tending to the animals and working in the fields. However, spending time with the family gave Phyllis and Lenny the greatest joy. As the children grew up, weekends were filled with afternoon drives looking at crops, visiting family or relaxing on the shores of Prior Lake fishing and swimming. There were trips to the Dairy Queen and evenings filled with big bowls of fresh buttered popcorn. Sunday gatherings often included Pekarna wieners, Jello, chips and rice crispy bars. In 1991, their youngest son Jeffrey, took over the farm. Phyllis and Lenny built a new home on the corner of their property. They continued to be active on the farm. It allowed more time for Phyllis and Lenny to focus on their grandchildren, attending their school functions, religious activities and playing games with them. In more recent years, Phyllis’s smile was enlightened with great-grandchildren. She enjoyed holding them, rocking them and watching them play farm. From the day Phyllis was married, she captured each day in her journal. Noting the activities of the farm, the weather and what was happening with family and friends. Journaling was part of her daily devotion, along with saying the rosary and prayers.

Vogel Will Seek Re-Election as B.P.’s State Representative Rep. Bob Vogel, R-Elko New Market, announced he will seek a second term this fall in the Minnesota House of Representatives, serving District 20A. The district includes Belle Plaine. Vogel’s ďŹ ling statement: A lifelong resident of the area, Vogel is a local businessman who has a long history of involvement in local community service organizations. Vogel says his ďŹ rst term in the House was a success, as lawmakers worked toward streamlining state government and passing a budget that reects a more conservative and common sense philosophy. “The general fund budget we passed in 2015 featured the smallest spending increase in decades,â€? Vogel said. “That allowed us to prioritize state spending, and give a muchneeded rate reimbursement hike to our nursing homes. Long-term care centers play a key role in our communities, and they deserved the boost in funding.â€?

Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Group Meets March 1 Beyond the Yellow Ribbon South of the River will meet on Tuesday, March 1 in the lower level of the Prior Lake VFW Club from 7-8:15 p.m. All meetings are open to the public and we welcome your participation as well as ability to volunteer. The mission of the group is to support all service members – active, inactive and retired. Independent For more 1x3 information, call 952-440-5011 or visit www. 2/24 btyrsouthoftheriver.org.

Vogel supported a forwardlooking transportation plan that would raise $7 billion over the next 10 years for road and bridge improvements and local transit all across Minnesota. “I am convinced that we can meet our transportation needs without raising the gas tax,� Vogel said. “The last thing we should do is raise taxes on the hard-working families in Scott and Le Sueur counties.� “Despite our work in 2015, we still have several issues that must be addressed,� Vogel said. “We have a tax bill that remains unresolved, and we need to work together to bring goodpaying jobs to the state. We will also work out a capital investment bill this session which is known as the bonding bill that allocates long-term funding for capital improvement projects across the state.� Vogel serves on the House Capital Investment Committee. That panel has toured the state and visited many of the projects that have requested inclusion in

the bonding bill. “We have more than $3 billion in requests for bonding projects, yet we must make sure we do not max out the state’s credit card,â€? said Representative Vogel. “I believe my ďŹ nancial background will help us in keeping all state spending and borrowing to reasonable levels.â€? Keeping a close eye on spending will be a major focus of upcoming legislatures, he said. “We must always remember that we’re dealing with the people’s money, and we have to spend it as wisely as possible.â€? While working on major statewide issues in 2015, like the budget, nursing home funding, K-12 education, the environment, public safety and more, Vogel teamed with local ofďŹ cials to author a bill assisting the Cedar Lake Water and Sanitary Sewer District. The bill passed the House on a unanimous vote and was signed into law by the governor. Vogel serves on the civil law and data practices, and job growth and energy affordability committees. He is also a member of the property tax and local government division. Vogel and his wife, Laura, have two children and two grandchildren.

The committee planning the annual St. Patrick’s Day observance in Belle Plaine to be held that year on March 15 announced that there would be a contest to pick Miss Shamrock. A ballot, which local residents could use to choose Miss Shamrock, would be published in the March 5 Herald, according to Renee Schultz, a member of the St. Patrick’s committee. The Belle Plaine City Council was considering the possibility of adopting some type of penalty against people who fail to get building permits before making structural changes to their property. Jim Fahey of Hutchinson was elected president of the Minnesota State Auctioneers Association at its annual conference in St. Cloud. Jim was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fahey Sr. of Belle Plaine and was part of the Fahey Sales Agency in Belle Plaine. The proposed hazardous waste sites in Carver and Scott counties would be released from the Waste Management’s inventory under legislation making progress in the State House. If passed, the bill would end more than five years of uncertainty for farmers near Cologne and New Prague. Faced with the prospect of a statewide ban on the landfilling of unprocessed solid wastes by 1990, Scott County was moving ahead with the development of some type of solid waste management system, including the possibility of a waste processing plant as an alternative to the use of landfills. John Holden, age 91, passed away Feb. 19 at the Mala Strana Nursing Home in New Prague. He spent most of his life farming in St. Thomas. Milo “Mike� Sanken, age 71, of Blakeley, passed away Feb. 18 at the St. Cloud Veterans Medical Center. He lived in Blakeley for many years and worked as a welder for the railroad. The BPHS boys’ basketball team edged Jordan 50-49. Leading the way for the Tigers were Jay Denny and Paul Pudlitzke with 10 points apiece, the latter of whom also had 11 rebounds. Matt Lenz came off the bench to score eight points and grab 11 rebounds. The BPHS girls’ basketball team, which finished the conference season in third place with a record of 11-3 (Le Sueur was first at 13-1 and Mankato Loyola second at 12-2), advanced to the semifinals of the District 13 Tournament with a 55-36 win over St. Peter. Julie Halquist led the Tigers with 17 points, followed by Ann Klehr and Laurie Wolpern with 11 apiece. Halquist and Klehr had also led Belle Plaine in scoring in the regular-season finale against Montgomery with 18 and 22 points, respectively. Nine Tiger matmen entered the Region 4A Wrestling Tournament and two captured championships – Jim Buesgens (119) and Andy Fogarty (138) (see accompanying photo). Their first-round matches in the state tournament would take place Feb. 27 at the St. Paul Civic Center.

State Qualifiers Belle Plaine High School juniors Andy Fogarty, foreground, and Jim Buesgens qualified for the 1986 state wrestling tournament to be held that coming Thursday through Saturday at the St. Paul Civic Center.

60 Years Ago (1956)

A demonstration of how hog farmers could fight their way back to prosperity drew about 550 farmers to Belle Plaine’s Spring Barrow Show held at Albrecht’s sale barn. Earl Schmidt of Belle Plaine exhibited the reserve champion pen. L.E. Lieske and son of Henderson exhibited the reserve champion individual. The Green Giant Co., Le Sueur, disclosed that it was considering constructing a can manufacturing plant at Savage. The plant would cost in excess of one million dollars and construction probably would not begin before 1958. Oliver Grovum of Belle Plaine received word of the death of his brother, Ben J. Grovum, 74, at the family home in St. Paul. Eugene F. O’Brien closed his office in the Harry Schultz building and transferred activities to his new place of residence, the house formerly occupied by Dr. John Fogarty. A surprise party was given Mrs. John Burmeister by her children that included parties for Mrs. Herman Kerkow and grandson Donald Kerkow. Mayor Clarence Mueller was named the chairman for the Red Cross fund drive for the borough of Belle Plaine. Robert Anderson of West Union was reelected president at the annual meeting of the Bongards Creamery Association. Ed Schmitz, secretary-treasurer, retired and W. Schmidt was elected to the office. Walter Radde was a new director. Continuing on the board of directors were J. Bongards, H.C. Rolf, H.C. Dahlke and Ed Brueggemeier. Mrs. Barbara B. Shaughnessy, native of Belle Plaine and wife of attorney John F. Shaughnessy, died at the family home in Minneapolis at the age of 66. A business change of importance was the purchase by the

H.E. Westerman Lumber Co. of the Geib-Janni Lumberyard in Belle Plaine. The Geib-Janni Lumber Co. had been in operation in Belle Plaine since 1929. Clifford King took over as manager of the new yard. A crew of church decorators finished work on the interior of Sacred Heart Church and there was a much improved appearance. It was the first extensive church alteration in a number of years and represented an expenditure of $6,500. Mrs. John S. Harshman (Alvira Stier) and daughter Beverly left by Northwest Airlines for Seattle, Wash. From there, they left by boat for Okinawa, where she expected to spend about three years with her husband. Sister Canuta, sister of Mrs. M.P. Hahn, died in Mankato at the age of 83. The report of Albert Trost, in charge of corn and grain under seal in Scott County, indicated we were loaded with corn. There was a total of 656,874 bushels. Mr. and Mrs. Ruben Frank left for a month’s vacation in the south at Shreveport, La., and Houston, Texas. The barber business was slackening in New Prague. All male citizens were required to grow a beard for the July centennial and those unbearded on March 23 would be fined. Mrs. Hulda Youngdahl, former East Union resident, died in Minneapolis at the age of 76. Jack O’Connell, son of Mr. and Mrs. G.J. O’Connell of this community, was appointed area manager for Hoover special products with headquarters in Minneapolis. Playing his best game of the season, Tiger center Ralph Zellman led his team to a 5648 victory over Le Sueur in the first round of the district tournament. Belle Plaine’s baseball outlook for the upcoming summer continued to brighten. George Bodmer, a former star pitcher

Mariah Walsh of Belle Plaine was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. Walsh was initiated at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. Jerald Barfknecht of Belle Plaine was named to the Fall Semester Dean’s List at Riverland Community College.

with a stall warning against him, the big Scott West heavyweight used a big under-hook reverse head lock to crank the Tri-City United wrestler to his back and the ensuing pin fall call at 5:51 of the third period. Just 45 minutes after dropping his championship ďŹ nal 8-0 against Swanson, where nearly the entire gym was vehemently cheering for Swanson, Schatz came right back to secure his second individual trip to the state tournament with a 2-0 win over Watertown-Mayer’s Troy Schueble. “Josiah has certainly had a air for the dramatic during his Scott West career and the pin over Burns was certainly another one of those moments,â€? suggests Ripley. “We told our wrestlers all week long that it was going to be Scott West against the house and that certainly was the case in that heavyweight ďŹ nal, so it was good to see Josiah and all of our wrestlers keep their composure throughout the tournament.â€? Scott West also had several other high-place ďŹ nishers at the section. Included were a trio of wrestlers that placed third in their respective weight class brackets – freshman Tyler Shackle at 106, freshman Justin Stauffacher at 113 and senior Carter Piche at 132. The Panthers also had a pair of fourthplace ďŹ nishers in Ryan Siegle at 138 and Deshawn Carter at 170. Ben Dvorak (152), Dylan Johnson (160), Calvin Menke (195) and Tyler Grieves (220) all competed in the tournament and did place in the top six of their respective weight class brackets. “It’s a tough tournament and while throughout the years we have won many more battles than we have lost, it is always difďŹ cult to see one of your wrestlers that is close to making it to the state tournament but does not,â€? cites Ripley. “However, these wrestlers still have one last great opportunity remaining before them this year as they will get into action and help us at Thursday’s team tournament.â€?

It is up to the individual to decide when to begin receiving Social Security beneďŹ ts. A person can take a reduced beneďŹ t as early as age 62. Or, a former employee can claim a full beneďŹ t at what the Social Security Administration considers to be full retirement age, which, for example, is 66 for anyone born between 1943 and 1954. Otherwise, a person can wait until age 70 for yet a larger beneďŹ t. Bear in mind that, once you elect to receive a reduced beneďŹ t, you remain at that level for the rest of your life (with normal cost-of-living increases). The longer you are apt to live, the more you beneďŹ t from waiting for the larger check. The current generation of retirees is more likely than the last generation to have active retirement years ďŹ lled with a mix of travel, sports, and education. How will you spend your retirement years, and how can you fund those years? Social Security may ďŹ ll only a limited amount of your ďŹ nancial demands.

Team Tourney

Scott West, 15-5 on the sea-

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2016 son, will return to the Minnesota State High School Class 2A Team Tournament for the eighth time in nine years this Thursday at Xcel Energy Center in downtown St. Paul. The Panthers are a No. 4 seed and will take on No. 5 seed Wabasso, which has a record of 30-2. Scott West, a combination of wrestlers from Belle Plaine and Jordan high schools, has now qualified as a team for state 16 times in its 26-year history. In the section 2AA Team Tournament earlier this month, the Panthers, seeded No. 4, defeated No. 5 New Prague 51-14, No. 1 Waconia 34-23 and No. 2 Hutchinson 43-21. The top five teams for state have been seeded 1 through 5. Wabasso received the fifth seed and the other three teams randomly drew to determine which of the top three-seeded teams they will face in the quarterfinals. Those match ups and the team tournament schedule can be found below. Kasson-Mantorville, which is ranked No. 1 in the state in Class 2A and is the No. 1 seed, overwhelmed previously No. 3-ranked Albert Lea 44-6 in the Section 1AA championship and has not lost a dual this season (22-0). The KoMets are a favorite to keep that streak alive this week even though they could cross paths with 11time defending state champion and No. 2 seed Simley, which breezed to its second state title in a row last year. The Spartans’ record this season is 25-6. Foley, the No. 3 seed, edged Scott West 30-28 at the Forest Lake Duals on Jan. 23. The Falcons are 30-1 this season. The other teams competing Thursday and their records are Totino-Grace (18-4), Perham

(24-6) and Mora (24-4). As a team, Scott West has placed everywhere but first in its previous 15 state tournament appearances. Its highest finishes were second in 2005, 2011, 2012 and 2014, and third in 2004, 2008 and 2015. The Panthers were fourth in 2000, fifth in 1996, 2003 and 2009, and sixth in 2006 and 2010. Scott West did not place its first two years in the tournament (1994 and 1995).

Section Individual Tourney Recap The Scott West wrestling team came into the 2015-16 season with the motto-theme Legendary! Arrive A Guest...Leave A Legend! This year’s team certainly lived up to those words as it has continued to build on the legendary success that is Scott West wrestling – not only winning the Rumble on the Red Championships at the end of December, but most recently adding the program’s 16th Section 2AA team championship and now qualifying five individual state qualifiers at the Section 2AA Individual Tournament at Mankato East High School this past weekend. “We have had a couple of really good weekends of wrestling against the very talented Section 2AA field of wrestlers,� states Scott West co-head coach Darren Ripley. At the section tournament this past Friday and Saturday, five Panthers earned their individual opportunity to wrestle in this week’s state tournament by placing in the top two of their respective weight classes. It would be Scott West junior lightweight Parker Huss leading the way as the #3-rated 120pounder blew away his section bracket as he pinned his way through the tournament with four. After winning the section title at 106 pounds last year, Huss was looking to go backto-back in 2016 and to do that he had to win a rematch against St. Peter’s Wyatt Gillette as they had met earlier in the year at a meet in Sibley East, with Huss winning a hard-fought 2-1 decision on a late third-period take down. However, there would be no third period needed in this one on Saturday as Huss decked the Saint wrestler with an under-hook whip over, and when he drove Gillette to his back, Huss got the pin fall call at just 53 seconds of the first period. “Parker has been wrestling with an aggressive and physical style over the last couple of weeks and it shows in his results,� states Ripley. Huss’ teammate, #2-rated Jackson Stauffacher, will also be taking his attacking up tempo wrestling to the mats of the state tournament as he went on to win his first section championship at 126 pounds. After advancing to the section finals for the third straight year with a third-period pin of Mankato East’s Shang Haley, Stauffacher claimed his first section title by winning one of the feature matches of the tournament as he dominated #4-rated Hutchinson wrestler Brock Luthens, beating him for the second time in consecutive weekends. Stauffacher was at the top of his game as he used a pair of nice leg attacks that the sophomore converted into take downs in periods one and three to go along with some good, hard riding to highlight his 5-0 championship performance. “Jackson was quick and explosive with his leg attacks and that was good to see,� states Ripley. “He was also very tough on top and did not give his Hutch op-

take down. It was all Buesgens in his first section final as he struck gold by building a 9-0 third-period lead before using a cradle to pin Glencoe-Silver Lake’s #5-rated Nick Brejle. “We certainly think Tyler earned those two stall call points in the semifinal match to send it into overtime, so good for the official for making the correct call from our perspective,� claims Ripley. “With that one out of the way, Tyler was really tough in the finals and we will look for him to take that tough wrestling to the state tournament.� In what was almost a mini state tournament in and of itself, probably the most highly anticipated Section 2AA Individual Tournament bracket match ups came at heavyweight, where you had the #3, #4 and #5 staterated wrestlers all in the same bracket with hometown favorite #3 Logan Swanson of Mankato East, #4 Alex Burn of Tri-City United and #5 Josiah Schatz of Scott West. Swanson had placed fourth in the state as a sophomore but failed to qualify for last year’s state tournament as he was beaten by Burns and Jake Filk of Hutchinson. Burns and Schatz were the two heavyweight state qualifiers out of Section 2AA’s loaded field last year and Burns went on to place third ay state, while Schatz went on to place fifth. In Saturday’s semifinals, Schatz and Burns matched up with Schatz looking for his first win over the Titan heavyweight throughout a series of matches that they have wrestled. It would be Schatz scoring the first two points of the match as he won a leg scramble along the edge of the mat for the allimportant opening take down. With Schatz clinging to a 3-2 lead late in the third period and

ponent any easy points as he kept constant down and forward pressure on him from the top position.� Also finishing in the top position at 145 pounds was Scott West senior captain and #2-rated Ben Kelvington, who like his teammate, Huss, blew away his section bracket by pinning all four of his opponents on his way to his second section title, the first coming as a sophomore at 113 pounds. After securing a second-period pin over Glencoe-Silver Lake senior Alex Mielke in the semifinals, Kelvington faced Waconia upstart freshman Cade Mueller in the finals, and after building a 9-0 third-period lead, he used a powerful arm bar to drive Mueller to his back, where he would get the pin fall call at 5:24 of the third period. “Ben has been wrestling at a really high level all year and it shows in his results,� states Ripley. “We hope to see him continue that high level of wrestling at the state tournament.� Kelvington’s teammate, Tyler Buesgens, will be making his first individual appearance at the state tournament as the sophomore came up with a gold medal performance in a deep 182-pound bracket. Buesgens’ title run did not come easy as he found himself on the bottom side of a third-period 3-1 score against New Prague’s Cameron Schmitz, who had hit him with a quick and slick slide by first-period take down. However, Buesgens would not give up as he kept the pressure on Schmitz, and although he could not get the match-tying take down, he did get two stall call points awarded to him by the referee as Schmitz repeatedly retreated to the edge and off the mat. With the score 3-3, the two wrestlers were going to overtime for the second time in consecutive weeks, and in a flurry of action near the edge of the mat, it was Buesgens securing the 5-3 match-winning
