A view of Sigourney’s lagoon system from Pleasant Valley Drive.
Sigourney Lagoon system to undergo upgrade by 2020 By CJ Eilers News Editor The City of Sigourney will be required to update the lagoon system near the County Expo due to new standards being pushed for higher water quality. Back in August, the City of Sigourney received their National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit, which allows for the city to treat sewage. However, under the new permit, Sigourney will also have to make major upgrades to the lagoon system treatment plant, or be fined for being in violation of the very permit they just received. With Matt Walker from FrenchReneker Associates advising
Sigourney on how to proceed, he recommended three systems to upgrade to and explained the pros and cons of each. Sigourney choose the Submerged Activated Growth Reactor (SAGR) as the system to be in line with the more stringent standards. The system will cost an estimated $4.5 million, with the money coming out
of sewage revenue, plus grants and loans that the City of Sigourney will apply for. SAGR is a gravel filter and tube that measures 24 feet wide and 3000 feet long. The gravel inside houses “media,” which is an organism that eats away sewage. Because cold kills media, the tube is buried underground to keep them
warm year round. “This system provides clean sewage water, which is released into the environment and removes more elements in the water,” Walker said. “It might be our sewage water at first, but we release it downstream, where eventually it will be someone’s drinking water.”
Yates imposes prison for homicide by vehicle case Amie Van Patten News Editor Two families filled the Keokuk County courtroom on Tuesday, Oct. 4 for the sentencing hearing of Dakota Bogert. Bogert entered a plea on July 8, 2016 to Felony Charges of Count II Homicide by Vehicle, Iowa code 707.6A(2) and Felony Charges Count III Serious Injury by Vehicle, Iowa code 707.6A(4). On the night of March 7, 2015 Bethanne Cooksey was coming home from a church event on Highway 78, when a vehicle driven by Dakota Bogert struck her. Bogert and her passenger, Keegan Barker, were traveling north on 270th Avenue, when Bogert ran a stop sign and collided with Cooksey. Both vehicles came to a rest in a field on the northwest corner of the intersection. When law enforcement arrived, Bogert was found in the passenger side of the vehicle and told officials that she was not the driver of the vehicle. Neither Bogert nor Barker was wearing their seatbelts and both received injuries. They were
Dakota Bogert (Photo submitted by the Keokuk Sheriff’s Office.) both transported to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Barker was initially, pronounced dead, but was later revived and remained in a coma for three days. Cooksey was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Initially Bogert was not believed to be the driver of the vehicle so no field sobriety tests were given to her, but instead were given to Barker.
Later, DNA samples revealed that Keegan Barker’s DNA was solely in the passenger side of the vehicle, concluding that Bogert was in fact the driver and not the passenger at the time of the incident. At a plea agreement hearing on July 8, 2016, Bogert admitted that she was in fact the driver of the vehicle and that she had been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. However, because no field sobriety tests were given the night of the accident, there is no determination as to how much alcohol she had consumed. Judge Yates sentenced Bogert to a 10-year sentence with the Iowa Department of Corrections for the Count II charge and five years for Count III charge. Bogert was transported from Keokuk County courthouse to the Keokuk County Sheriff’s Office immediately following the sentencing hearing. On Wednesday, October 5, Bogert was transported to the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women in Mitchellville where her sentences will run concurrently.

Pekin Board continues school improvement talks during regular meeting By CJ Eilers News Editor The Pekin Board of Education held their regular meeting on Monday, Oct. 10 in the new College and Career Readiness Room, heavily hitting on the ongoing discussion of making improvements to the school in the coming year. Several hires for the district took place, with the board approving Daniel Bolster, a Pekin graduate, as the new groundskeeper for Pekin. The board also approved Aaron King and Bill Rex as volunteer wrestling coaches and John Swanson as a volunteer basketball coach for the 2016-17 season. Superintendent Harper announced that the Cambridge Foundation has donated $2,5000 towards the weight room. Harper and administrators discussed a recent meeting with the Pekin School Improvement Advisory Committee (SIAC). All reported that the meeting went great and that SIAC especially liked the fact that the proposed improvements to the school were education based, rather than athletic. SIAC wrote the following recommendations for the Board to consider: Prepare all students for college
and/or careers: All students need instruction and assignments that are aligned to grade level standards in academic and Career and Technical (CTE) courses, utilize resources available at Pekin, Indian Hills and the Keokuk County Career Academy, and develop real world application (speaking, resume, etc). Redefine how time is used to connect academic, career pathways and workplace learning: Reestablish work program or internship programs, and use project based learning to make connections between academics and CTE. Update facilities in the area of science to provide students with hands on experiences: Provide opportunities for lab work, which include hands on, project based activities that relate to real world problems, and require students to take math and science their senior year. Provide students and staff with more support in the area or at-risk: Educate students about proper speaking skills, and stop bullying before it starts with more education and counseling services. Communicate with parents about the CTE course offering and college courses: Utilize our current staff to
help support CTE courses or college courses, and update specific technical areas (Family Consumer Science/Ag/Business). SIAC made its position supportive and committed to working on a bond proposal, with voting February 7, 2017. The committee has asked for open and honest communication to the public about the bond, requested building tours and virtual pictures be published for the public. They have also asked Superintendent Harper or Pekin staff to meet with community members over coffee and donuts to discuss plans. Ben Foote from Faith Built Architecture in Ottumwa was present at the meeting to talk about his firm’s contract with the school. Faith Built Architecture has acted as an advisor for the proposed improvements to both the elementary and high school facilities and will continue to provide these services. If the bond is passed during the election on February 7, 2017, a new contract will be formed between Pekin and Faith Built Architecture to act as the main contractor and work with sub contractors. The new contract can be readjusted if changes are made to the initial plans. They will work with Pekin to
keep the direction of the design in a way the school wishes to go. Foote also presented two designs for the new junior high wing that will be built on the east side of the high school, towards the highway. Both designs included new classrooms and a locker room. The first design was a slightly slanted version to allow more space in the hallway, with the second design wrapping around the very end of the high school building. Board members and administrators discussed, but did not take action on approving either design, though a consensus was that the second design was more preferable. The Pekin FFA Leadership, lead by Mr. Lamb, will be taking a trip to Indianapolis, IN for a National Convention from October 18-21. With six students attending, they will use a school van to transport the team. The Board approved the trip, as all out-of-state trips require their approval. Superintendent Harper told the Board that the old snow plow is no longer operational and is not worth repairing. Harper asked to begin advertising and taking bids on the plow to get it off the books, with the high
bid winning the bid. The Board approved getting rid of the snow plow Pekin instructors Annie Tedrow and Kelly Goudy have volunteered to restart the school’s dance team, which hasn’t been active in four years, according to administrators. Tedrow and Goudy agreed to not take any compensation for their work, and will fundraise in order to afford uniforms for the team. The Board approved the recreation of the Pekin Dance Team, which will begin practice in the winter. For their next regular meeting on November 14, the Board will discuss and possibly approve bringing back an early retirement plan. A new maternity policy will also be presented to the Policy Committee. Five teachers at Pekin are currently expecting, with an expected implementation date of January 1, 2017.

Ray Man Inc. General Manager Bob Eakins (far left) discusses sheet metal work to students from Keota, Pekin, Tri-County and Sigourney during a tour of his business’s facilities on Friday, Oct. 7.
Area students visit Ray Man Inc. for National Manufacturing Day By CJ Eilers News Editor Approximately 40 students from Keota, Pekin, Sigourney and Tri-County Schools, through Indian Hills Community College (IHCC), took a morning out of class to tour Ray Man Inc. in Keota as part of National Manufacturing Day on Friday, Oct. 7. Students who took part in the field trip were part of IHCC’s machining and welding programs. At Ray Man Inc., General Manager Bob Eakins provided a walkthrough of several of the facilities, where students had the opportunity to see how the process of sheet metal is done from raw materials to cutting, welding, and the final product. “It’s important that the students get to see the process with their own eyes,” Eakins said. “They’ve all worked with welding and machines in the classroom, but you don’t get the full experience unless you go out and observe first hand.” National Manufacturing Day was created in 2012, as a way to highlight what manufacturing has to offer young people, according to WhiteHouse.gov. Though Ray Man Inc. have hosted students in the past, Eakins commented the level of participating for this event

was high, with several students showing understanding and interest. “It’s good to see kids have interest in manufacturing,” Eakins said. “We wanted them to see how technology is used in our workplace and how it makes everything we do more accurate. Everything used to be done by hand, but you need to know how to use technology in today’s world.” Zachary Bolinger, a senior at Tri-County High School, got involved in welding through IHCC because he feels it’s fun and interesting at the same time. When the opportunity presented itself to tour Ray Man Inc. with his fellow students and see manufacturing work done firsthand, Bolinger got on board. The implementation of advanced technology fascinated him during the tour “Technology makes manufacturing quicker and more efficient,” Bolinger said. “You feel like you know technology, but it’s always changing and advancing.” Bolinger plans to pursue a welding degree through IHCC after graduating from high school in May, explaining he can see himself in this field. He encourages anyone going through the welding or machining programs to go on a field trip when available. “I didn’t know how machining worked and how all the parts come together,” Bolinger. “Throughout the tour, they wanted us to learn the process, not just say a few quick lines and move on. I feel I gained a good idea of what they do on a daily basis and how what we learn in the classroom can relate.” Iowa Works of Southern Iowa also partnered with IHCC and Ray Man Inc. to host this event.

Former Girl Scouts Troop 283 donates $3,700 toward elementary fitness stations By CJ Eilers News Editor Former Girl Scouts of Troop 283 in Sigourney decided to give back to the community by donating $3,700 to the fitness stations project currently underway at Sigourney Elementary School. Members Lainey Graff and Corrine Donald presented Sigourney Superintendent of Schools Dave Harper the check on Thursday, Oct. 6. The two girls, who are both sophomores at Sigourney High School, were the last remaining members of the troop, selling cookies over the past four years to help raise the money. The base of the donation, however, was raised when the two girls were in elementary school, when the troop consisted of 13 members at one time or another. Together, the troop took a trip to Chicago and still had money saved away. “Most of the girls in the troop are now sophomores and juniors now, but when we had a lot of participation during their kindergarten through sixth grade years,” Darian Graff, the former leader of Troop 283 said. “We did a lot of fundraisers at the time and were very active. As the girls went into junior high, they got involved with sports and we couldn’t find the time to meet. Those were some

After contacting Harper, the girls and Graff were given a list of ideas, and both parties liked the idea of donating to the

fitness station and trail being built by the elementary school. “The community was very supportive of us,” Graff said. “The girls felt this was the right choice to give back to the community through the school.” According to Superintendent Harper, the fitness stations will keep students active outside, even in rainy conditions. Residents will also be allowed to use the stations out of school and over the summer, along with the school’s new playground equipment. “The time couldn’t have been better for these girls to approach me with this donation,” Harper said. “This is a tremendous help to get this donation and we appreciate all that the scouts have done.” During their tenure, Troop 283 collected more than 50 badges. Previous members of the troop are Lainey Graff, Brooke Donald, Ryleigh Leonard, Bailey Redlinger, Savhannah White, Taylor Dowd, Jordan VanEe, Samantha Carroll, Maddie Schwenke, Sloane Magill, Macie Leonard, Jade Aller, Autumn Redd and Corinne Donald. Wendy VanEe and Tracy Donald founded the troop, with Jenny Redlinger, Amie Van Patten and Darian Graff also leading the troop.
Several Quilts of Valor were on display at the Keokuk Expo this past summer.

Amie Van Patten Regional Editor Bonnie Barnhart sits down at her sewing machine to piece together a quilt. With every piece that she pieces together, she hopes that the final product will help to bring a piece of home to the Veteran that the quilt will be wrapped around as it is being presented. It all started six years ago when she began quilting for not only herself but others and knew she wanted to get involved in a movement for the men and women who serve our nation, with her husband being a Veteran himself. Then two years ago while at a quilt show, Bonnie was introduced to the Eastern Iowa coordinator Arlis Fritz, and was given the information about Quilts of Valor and how to get started, and she
hasn’t stopped since. Bonnie is a quilter for an organization called “Quilts of Valor”, a nationwide organization started by Katherine Roberts when her son was coming home from being deployed. Roberts has a dream that all service members should be covered with a quilt. From there, Quilts of Valor was born. This organization honors current service men and women as well as Veterans from all over. With the help of Sandy Smithart and a few other ladies along the way, Barnhart has already pieced together many quilts and has two in the process as of now. “I am already planning the next quilt and I have one in the machine and one being stitched together”, Barnhart states. Each quilt comes with a sewn in label to show who helped with the quilt along the way and also comes with a pil-

low case, known as a presentation case , to be given to the recipient. When being presented, the quilt is then wrapped around the individual to show that the goal is to provide comfort and healing to those affected by war. Although Barnhart and Smithart have been completing quilts from start to finish, the organization website has a web of quilters that can work together. One individual may have made the topper and another may have done the quilting. Members are able to reach out to one another and complete different steps along the way. Every day, many quilts are being shipped around the world while members try to make a difference, one stitch at a time. All Quilts of Valor are made from 100 percent cotton materials, which is one of the many requirements that the organization has. Barnhart and Smithart have purchased most of their materials themselves, but say they have gotten donations from others that know the mission they are on. With a single
quilt costing approximately $200 to $300, and requiring hours to complete, Barnhart says there is no putting a price tag on the sacrifices the individual has made that will receive the quilt and plans to keep sewing until she is no longer able to. In fact, her hope is to be able to present five or six to local service men and women during the next Memorial Day program. Last week alone, Barnhart was able to wrap a quilt around a service man from North English and is traveling to a birthday celebration this weekend to present another. With 502 quilts donated this month and 146,074 total quilts donated, and this number growing every day, this organization just keeps getting larger. Quilts are not only awarded in the United States, but also to those who are serving overseas in evacuation hospitals. If you know someone you would like to nominate to be a recipient of a quilt, you can request a quilt at http://www.qovf. org/request-qov/. A quilt of Valor is a single lifetime award.

Tales of the Ancient Sportsman It can’t be “Indian Summer” because we have not had a hard freeze, but whatever it is, I like it. This has been a gorgeous weekend and I was so busy that I didn’t get to properly enjoy it. I wanted to get to the golf course Saturday, but I choose to watch the Hawkeyes and the Cyclones instead and that only added to my anxiety. At least the Hawkeyes won, but it wasn’t easy. Last year everything went so smoothly for them, but this year it is like a square peg in a round hole. To me, the problem is easy to recognize and hard to fix. It starts with the line play on both sides of the ball. The offensive line has not come together and they are not moving people. The defensive line gives up too many easy yards and the pass rush is very poor. If they can fix those two areas, I think we will see marked improvement. If not we might be looking at a .500 season and no bowl game. I am not a cyclone fan, but I am still interested in what they are doing. The thing that amazes me is the number of points they are putting on the board. They have been able to build a lead against some pretty good teams, but they just can’t seem to protect the lead. The whole Big 12 appears to be a wide open offensive league this year while the Big 10 appears to be a bruising defensive league. Saturday night I was able to enjoy a 40-year class reunion with the Eddyville Class of 76. I sure didn’t recognize many of those old folks. They recognized me, so I must not have gotten older. I’m not sure what happened to those kids, but they have caught up with me. I was thrilled by the story one of the girls told me about her brother who was also a student of mine. I has his Doctor’s degree and he is the pastor of a large Black Church in Dallas. That is incredible for a white kid from Chillicothe, IA to be in that position. She reports that her brother is seeing amazing things happening in that church. Friday night I covered the Pella Christian-Pleasantville game. Both teams were unbeaten and the game was billed as a district championship game. I was expecting a hard fought close game, but it wasn’t. The Eagles put 21 points on the board in the first quarter and then added 35 more in the second period for a 56-6 halftime lead. PC called in the hounds at halftime and the Trojans were able to score twice in the second half to make the final score 56-20. The Eagles dominated in all phases of the game and they were particularly lethal in the passing game. David Kacmaryinski was 15-of-17 for 292 yards and four touchdowns in only one half of play. Sigourney/Keota still has a playoff shot, but they will have to beat Wilton to nab the runner-up spot behind Regina. Oskaloosa is in the same boat as they must beat Washington to get the runner-up spot behind Solon. Twin Cedars and HLV will both get in, but the Sabers will have to beat HLV in the final game to win the district title. Sunday afternoon the Ancient-ess and I attended the Freeman’s Southern Gospel concert at Pella Christian. Tom and Cindy Drost allow us to set up a table to promote our tours at these concert and we are most grateful. It was a good day as we were able to visit with many people and the concert was good. Tuesday night I covered the Pella-Oskaloosa volleyball match in Oskaloosa and Pella wrapped up the Little Hawkeye Conference title with a three set win. Pella is ranked No. 1 in Class 4A and I think they have a shot
Tales of the Ancient Sportsman By Burdell Hensley Columnist to do big things in the tournament. For me the baseball season is over with the Cardinal demise. Folks ask me who I am rooting for now and I just tell them that is whoever is playing the Cubs. From what I can see right now, I would say that the Blue Jays look very tough. The harvest continues under near ideal conditions. It looks like some great numbers pouring through those combines and the mountains of gold will continue to grow. Thank goodness the political campaign has less than a month to go. One campaign has dug up so much mud that they must be getting close to rocks. I’m guessing they will throw those also. Neither candidate is fit, so I guess we will have to vote for Pogo. By the way, if you are interested in researching your family tree, just run for office. That way someone else will do it for you and they will find every horse thief in your line. It is time again to see what happened in our yesterdays. 100 years ago: Oct. 16, 1916 – Osky romps past Chariton 48-0. Henley and Holmes each scored twice for Osky. The Osky seconds beat Bloomfield 6-0 as Ferree scored the lone touchdown. 75 years ago: Oct. 15, 1941 – What Cheer splits games. Keswick beat the Hilltoppers 1-0 as Ridenour of Keswick and Dale Elliott of What Cheer each allowed only one hit. Three walks and an error scored the winning run. What Cheer nipped Eddyville 9-8 as Armstrong and Nelson each poked a pair of hits. Oct. 18 – Sigourney came from behind to beat North English 13-7. NE took the early lead as Dick Magoon broke an 80 yard run and Larry Miller plunged for the PAT. Ned Stirlen scored both Sigourney TD’s and Bob Kriese ran for the PAT. Oct. 18 – New Sharon blanks Fremont 28-0. Max Ladd ran for a TD and caught a pass from Gerald Bond for another. Also scoring for the Bulldogs were Russell Burggraaf and Colyn Garner. 50 years ago: Oct. 19, 1966 – Marsha Beverlin was crowned Homecoming Queen in Sigourney. Oct. 20 English Valleys throttles Tri-County 22-0 behind a strong defensive effort. Bob O’Rourke blocked two punts, recovered a fumble and played an outstanding defensive game. Oct. 20 – Pekin belted West Burlington 26-7 as Ken Redman tossed TD passes to Gordon Mitchell and Jim Steinbeck. Steve Steinbeck ran for as TD and Mike McCormick recovered a fumble for another. Oct. 22 – Osky takes third in the CIC with a 24-0 win over Boone. Craig Muhl passed to Dick Grubb and Jim Sparks for TD’s and he kicked a field goal. Grubb also ran for a score. 25 years ago: Oct. 19, 1991 – Eddyville rolled past Twin Cedars 236. Jason Van Polen led the Rocket running game and Otis Hoskins led the passing and he ran for two touchdowns. Oct. 19 – North Mahaska slips past BGM 8-6. Brian Thomas passed to Travis Smith for a TD and then he passed to Josh Boughton for the winning PAT. Have a great week and keep those combines humming. And let’s pull for two more nice football nights to finish up the season. The playoffs will have to take care of themselves.
Just reminiscing By Hilda Souer Recently I was thinking about doing the laundry today vs. “back then” during my childhood days. A period of time that, to me anyway, was different was the different washing machine my parents had for a few years. This machine wasn’t the kind with a wringer. This washing machine had a pedal that was used to “lift” the stainless steel “tub” on the interior of the washing machine that, from the machine’s exterior looked like the usual machine. This “tub” on the interior had many, many holes. When this outside pedal was pushed down this lifted the interior perforated “tub” holding the washed clothes. Next was the “rinsing cycle,” after the machine was emptied of the soap water
Lords Pantry donations for July, August, and September
and re-filled with the rinse water. The machine was then turned on and rinsed for the required time, lifted, and spun again until clothes were ready to be dried. Then, at the time clothes were taken outside on the lines located near this small building. At our place this small building was also where my parents had their cream separator, thus the building was used daily to separate the cream from the milk. I also remember that, for a few years, my parents delivered bottles of milk to the designated place at each home. One place I probably enjoyed the mast was the one that had parrots in the place I was to place the bottled milk and I loved to hear the parrots say “Hello Girlie!”

Sigourney Fire Department Public Protection Classification Submitted by Bill Halleran, Sigourney Volunteer Fire Chief As part of the Sigourney Fire/ Rescue goal to improve public safety and community service, the Sigourney Fire/Rescue Department recently completed a Public Protection Classification (PPC) evaluation by Insurance Services Office (ISO) in May of this year. The ISO Public Protection Classification rating document is licensed in the State of Iowa as the base insurance rating tool. Every city, town, or area that provides fire protection services is subject to being graded to establish a PPC. Individual buildings, including your house, are subject to community’s PPC. When calculating property premiums, insurance companies using the PPC apply a factor that reflects a particular community’s rating. To help establish appropriate fire insurance premiums for residential and commercial properties, insurance companies need reliable, up-to-date information about the community fire protection services. The Insurance Services Office (ISO) provides that information through the Public Protection Classification (PPC) program. ISO collects information on municipal fire-protection efforts in communities throughout the United Sates. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data using the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). ISO then assigns a Public Protection Classification from 1 to 10. By classifying a communities’ ability to suppress fires, ISO helps the community evaluate their public fire protection services. The program provides an objective, countrywide standard that helps fire departments in planning and budgeting for facilities, equipment, apparatus and training. And by securing lower fire insurance premiums for communities with better public protection, the PPC program provides incentives and rewards for communities that choose to improve their firefighting services. The Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS) grades such features as water distribution, fire department equipment, manpower, and fire alarm facilities/911 dispatch
Sigourney Firefighters battle a propane fire during a training exercise on Sunday, Oct. 9. centers. The Sigourney Fire/Rescue has progressively moved up the scale. These ISO surveys are generally completed on an every 5 year schedule. In the last 15 years, we have moved up from an 8 rating to currently receiving a 5 rating. Improving the PPC from a Class 6 to a Class 5 should favorably affect commercial and residential property insurance rates in the City of Sigourney. Your insurance carriers may not automatically change the PPC class on your policy; therefore, when your insurance policy renews, residential home and commercial building owners should visit with your insur-
ance provider. Make sure they use the new Class 5 rating if you are located within 5 road miles of the City of Sigourney Fire Station and within 1000 feet of a fire hydrant. As a general rule, commercial buildings are most affected by the PPC rating. Residential dwellings (homes) may not benefit as much and some insurance providers may not completely follow the PPC rating for calculating premiums. I would like to mention that your donations and continued backing does come full circle and we are here for you. We truly enjoy volunteering for our community and appreciate your support.

From Past to Present: Life at Sigourney High School by Brooke Donald
This article is about what high school was like when our staff was in school. I asked some of the staff who went to Sigourney what some of the differences are since they’ve been in school. These are a few of their answers. Mrs. Seeley, who went to high school at Sigourney in the early 2000s, said that where the student lounge is right now, across from the library, was a computer lab while she was in school. Their lounge was a senior lounge, and it was in the front lobby by the trophy cases. Some of the things that were the same was that they watched Channel One in
junior high. Channel One is a news show that the junior high watches after lunch. They also wore the same band uniforms as now. Mrs. Harter, who went to high school at Sigourney in the early 90s, told me about how her look on life has changed since high school. She said that some of the things that she thought were really important in high school didn’t end up being that important. Her main focus was sports while she was in high school. She also said that school spirit is about the same now as it was then. The major thing that has changed since then had been the technology.
The Failmobile: Let Technology Kill Us All! by Luke Hames So, apparently these so called ‘self driving cars’ are hitting the shelves quicker than you may think. You may be saying to yourself “Wow! Self driving cars are the thing of the future! I’m gonna get one myself!” Think again! Not only will these make your wallet burn, but these things (if you even want to call them that), are a death-box on wheels! Nearly every one of the tests on these cars out in the public have ended miserably! The companies that make these cars are
assessing the situation, and hope to put these on the market within the next 5 years. I think the idea in retrospect is genius, but I didn’t expect it to end up like this. I’ll keep my mind open to them. But I would definitely not be surprised that they all get recalled when there is a monstrous collision on I-80 with cars exploding and people freaking out. I hope it all goes out for the better with this idea, and just maybe, it’ll pave the way for other futuristic inventions like one, the self driving car.

High Hopes for SK Cobra Football by Will Magill This year’s Cobra Football team is having a very strong start, coming out at 4-1 through their first 5 games. Their sole loss coming to the past state champion Iowa City Regina Regals. The Cobras are favorites to come out of the regular season as a 2nd seed in the first round of the playoffs.
The Cobras have high hopes for a strong rest of their season. The team has many goals including winning out the rest of the season, making the playoffs, and making it to state. These goals are very achievable for this year’s Cobra team, and everyone is looking forward to the great things that these boys can do in the future.

Will Magill with his “Heap of the Week.”
Summer Barthleman with her “Heap of the Week”.
Heap of the Week by Lindsey Wheeldon This week’s heap of week is Will Magill’s 1996 Ford Ranger. It is teal with lots of rusty spots. It seats two comfortably, three uncomfortably, and four if your really want to. A funny story about Will’s truck is that when this dad was repairing the roof, he was throwing the old shingles into the bed of the truck and a piece of it bounce off and shattered the back window, and later that day, his dad took it to Ottumwa and broke the suspension. Will thought it was hilarious because he didn’t have to fix it.
Summer and Autum Barthelman have a “Maroon 1999 Tahoe”, named Trudy. They say “it drives perfectly fine, and has brand new tires”. Trudy has an arrow as her antenna. They originally drove a “Red 2005 Dodge Truck”, named the Red Rocket. They had to get Trudy because Red Rocket’s engine blew out by the elementary. They got Trudy as a replacement around January 2015.

Question of the Week by Michael Johnson
What was your favorite dress up day during Homecoming Week and why? SUSIE LUKE: A: PJ day, because I don’t have to get ready for school. ABBEY DANOWSKY: A: Pj day, because I don’t have to get ready for school and I love pjs.
GABE LUKE: A: Twin day because his friends betrayed him JAROD JENSEN: A: Spirit Day because everyone is dressing up in the school colors. HUNTER SCHWAB: A: Pajama day and why he like it because he doesn’t have to get dressed for school.
by Heather Cline At Sigourney High School we have this so called Moped Mafia. No, it’s not a real Mafia, it’s just a name. I decided to interview two “high ranking members”. When did you get your moped? Nichole Gokey said, “I got my moped in the middle of summer.” Gabrielle Atwood said,“My grandpa Atwood gave my family our moped. My older sister Savannah used to ride it before she got her car.” Do you plan on getting a car? Nichole Gokey said, “Yes, I plan on getting a car.” Gabrielle Atwood answered, “ When my sister moves out I will be getting her car, and I am going to pass the moped down to my younger sister.” Do you like the name of moped mafia? Nichole Gokey said, “I really don’t mind the name nor being called a ‘ Moped Gang’ because I don’t really drive around with anyone.” Gabrielle Atwood said,“ I think the name is hilariously accurate, although I prefer the name “ Moped Gang.” Why are you riding a moped? Gokey said,“I’m riding my moped to get to school and other places I need to be around town.” Gabrielle Atwood said, “I am riding a moped because I do not have a car to drive. It also makes it a lot easier to get around to work, school, and anything else.” Do you know all your rules? Nichole Gokey said, “Yes, I know all my rules.”
Students enjoying the new student lounge.
Senior Lounge Moped Mafia hang out zone. Gabrielle Atwood said, “I know a few rules… I know that it is required to have a flag on the back of your moped. One rule that my parents have is to always wear a helmet. Other than that I don’t know of any other rules.” What did you have to do to get your license? Nichole Gokey said, “I had to take a class and take a permit test.” Gabrielle Atwood said, I had to take a two day class. Each class was a few hours long, and we had to go through slides, and talk about rules and safety precautions.” Although our town is plagued by a mafia, it is not necessarily a bad one. If one of them comes up to you and offers you their moped for your car; I advise you to turn them down.
Savage Advice by Bailey Tinnes Dear Savage eye, I have a huge test coming up and I can’t seem to make myself study. What should I do to make myself study? I suggest you make a game out of it. The more you study the more it becomes fun for you. You could also try setting goals to study, and then reward yourself every time you hit one of the goals you have set for yourself.
Dear Savage eye, I’m struggling in a class in a subject that I like, I feel like the teacher is just picking on me. What should I do? I suggest that you go talk to that teacher and get it figured out. You don’t want to fail a class that you actually like. If you can’t get your teacher to help you, then I would suggest visiting your guidance counselor. Your counselor can be really good help to you.
by Summer Barthelman The senior lounge is a place where not only seniors hang out, but also other grades as well. It is very comfortable and crowded at times, but very enjoyable. The kids who sit in the lounge
watch “Cutthroat Kitchen”and Disney movies.These are the only things they like to watch. Also, there are many students who play Minecraft, a game on the computer that you can build houses.
The 2016-17 Marching Savages
by Savannah Atwood Mrs. Meier gave her review on how Marching Band season has been going. “Marching band season is going really well,” she said, “We started a week prior to the official start of school to get music memorized as quickly as possible. Once school started, we headed out to the field to put drill with our music. Overall, we’re looking good and sounding good and will continue to improve through the end of marching band season! We are still getting adjusted to each other. Our drill still looks messy at times but we will keep cleaning sets as the season goes on.” We asked her if the drill would be learned by the last home game. She responded. “Yes, all of the drill will be done by the last home game! It has to be -- that’s our last outside performance of the year!” Then she goes on, “This year, we’re working with two students who have knee injuries. Since they can’t be on the field, the students who are their neighbors have to adjust accordingly. There are holes in the drill where our
injured students should be. Nothing we can do to help that until they’re cleared to be back on the field!” We then asked her if she enjoys concert band or marching band. She responded, “I enjoy both marching and concert band. They both create different challenges. Marching requires a lot of the kids being in shape to play/do flag routines and march, getting music and drill memorized, and remembering all the intricacies of each of those things. Marching band music tends to be more “fun” and the music we play is stuff you hear on the radio. Concert band is also challenging in that we get to be more expressive and technical with our repertoire. The music for concert band is also “fun” but isn’t always stuff we recognize.” Be sure to come watch the band’s final performances. They are: October 7th and 21st during the SK Cobra football halftime. The Marching Savages have one final performance of their show music in the high school gym on October 24th at 7:00.

However, in the third game they pushed the home team to the limit after dropping the first two games to the Tigerhawks, but it was too little too late for the Bears of English Valleys. Early mistakes plagued the Bears as they were not really close in the first two games at all, but they seemed to find themselves halfway through game number three and really pushed Colfax before the Tigerhawks took back control of the game and the match. Audrey Grove led the Bears with six kills; Alexis Berstler had nine assists and five digs. Lexie Miller, Sydney Olson and Maddy Shaw all had seven digs each. Mykayla Russel had five digs for EV as well. EV 8 13 19 0 C-M 25 25 25 3
Sigourney celebrates 30 years of volleyball, falls to North Mahaska 3-1
Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor SIGOURNEY- Sigourney celebrated 30 years of SHS volleyball on Thursday, Oct. 6. Former players were in attendance as there was a good turnout for their game against North Mahaska. The Savages fell in four sets, but showed a lot of heart against a talented NM team. “Tonight against North Mahaksa we were slow to make adjustments on offense and defense. Olivia Boender is a good player and she hit well tonight, N. Mahaska also did a good job of making our defense move by tipping and pushing to put holes in our defense. We attacked aggressively, but just couldn’t find the open spots. Being consistent, taking advantage of the other team’s weaknesses, and being able to finish a game are all things we are still struggling with. We have showed improvement from the beginning of the season, we just need to keep working hard and get over the “hump” and get a few wins.” Said coach Chris Carter about her team’s performance on Thursday. Sloane Magill had nine kills, while Anna Ohland led the team with 15 kills. As a team Sigourney was very efficient with 33 kills. Brooke Waechter led the team with 18 digs, Leah Carter had 13 digs to go with 24 assists. Sydney Striegel had ten and Caleigh Dale & Sloane Magill with eight each. The team showed excellent hustle with 66 total digs. Regarding the 30-year anniversary of SHS volleyball coach Chris Carter had the following to say; “It was great to see so many alumni back for the match tonight. 30 years of volleyball brings back a lot of memories and great athletes. I feel blessed to have been a part of this program from the beginning (I was on the first team in 1986) and to have coached in Sigourney for 15 of the 30 years. It was a fun night! Savage volleyball needs to keep working hard to get back to the level of competition we have had in the past. I have confidence that it will happen, it just takes time and commitment.” NM 25 26 25 25 3 SHS 13 28 17 15 1

Trojans play tough on senior night Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor THORNBURG- Tri-County faced off against two opponents at home on senior night Thursday, Oct. 6. The Trojans first faced Montezuma, then ended the evening with a short match against Moravia. They fell in both, but played very well at the end of the Monte match, and the whole of the Moravia match. In the first matchup against Montezuma, Tri-County fell 3-0, but after losing games one and two pretty handily, they showed great resolve in game three, falling by a mere five points. As a team, the Trojans had 17 kills against Monte. Also, they accumulated 34 digs and ten assists, all of
which were by Myrissa Garber. Katlyn Little led the team with six kills in the match, while Michaela Lundy had five. Nikayla Dowd and Garber had three kills apiece. Regarding the Monte game coach Sydney Davis had the following to say; “Montezuma has many well-rounded hitters. Like in the past, our first game always seems to be a “warm-up” game. We as coaches have strongly encouraged the team to go out strong so we don’t have to dig our way out of a hole. I was proud of our defense against Montezuma. Katlyn Little ended the game with 9 digs, Nikayla Dowd ended with 10, and Emma Miover ended with 6.” In their second match of the night
against Moravia there was no slow start for the Trojans. They fell in two very tightly contested games to Moravia, but they were unable to sustain their leads and fell both games. They felt like they could have, and perhaps should have, come away with their fifth win of the season in this matchup, but the showing was still pretty good by the Trojans as they honored their seniors with pre-game festivities. Nikayla Dowd led the team against Moravia with 11 digs; Emma Miover had seven for the Trojans in the match.
Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor RIVERSIDE- Pekin had a rough go of things at Highland-Riverside on Thursday, Oct. 6. The Huskie are like a well-oiled machine, and you can’t make mistakes, as the Panthers did, if you want to beat them. Pekin had 30 errors that led to Highland points, so 30 of the 75 points the Huskies scored were off of Pekin errors. It’s tough to win when that happens. Pekin head coach Ken Hutchinson said the following about his teams effort on Thursday night; “we played harder tonight than we have all year long. I thought our effort was good enough to beat almost anyone, but
our mistakes took us out as soon as we got close or took the lead.” Haley Gambell led the Panthers with five kills, Ellie Ledger and Faith Oostra had four each. Gambell also had seven assists to lead the team in that category as well. Kennedy Coleman had five assists in the match. Maci Gambell had 19 digs on the night, while Whitney Johnson had 16. As a team, the Panthers only had four blocks, which they definitely needed to have a better output if they were to pull off this upset. Pekin falls to 10-13 on the season with the loss.

Sigourney volleyball plays well at Washington taking fourth place Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor WASHINGTON- Sigourney was firing on all cylinders getting two wins on Saturday, Oct. 8. The beat rival Keota and also defeated Wapello, and played very tough against Iowa City, Regina, who finished second overall, and Iowa Mennonite in the consolation match on their way to a fourth place finish for the Savages. “We finally found our “groove” as a team. We finished 2nd in our pool and ended up finishing up 4th overall out of 8 teams. I felt like this was our best set of matches we have played all season. The win against Wapello was a big win for us, competing against a good team. In our loss to IC Regina we also played well. All day we were aggressive offensively and defensively. Our blocking and passing were definitely what kept us in the matches. We had a lot of block touches on defense and that is a big improvement. It is as step in the right direction to improving our blocking as a team. I am proud of how our kids played all day. It was a fun day with them being competitive in all matches we played in. Our defense was the difference and we were smart offensively. If we can continue to play at this level, we will have some success at the end of our season.” Coach Chris
Autum Barthelman, Sloane Magill and Anna Ohland go after a ball at Washington this weekend. Carter about her team’s performance over the weekend. Sloane Magill was 44-50 hitting with 16 kills and four blocks in the tourney. Anna Ohland was 68-82 with an astonishing 34 kills as well as 20 digs. Autum Barthelman had 21 kills and three aces.

Tri-County wins another one at Washington Saturday, finished seventh at Wash. Tourney Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor WASHINGTON- Tri-County finished seventh on Saturday, Oct. 8 at Washington High School out of eight teams. They lost to Washington, Iowa Mennonite and Regina, but defeated conference foe Keota in three sets. They played well against Washington, and really feel as though they should have pulled off the upset against IMS, but it was a good day for the Trojans as they continue to make strides in the right direction. Coach Sydney Davis on her team’s play Saturday, “Weekend tournaments don’t always go as well as we would like it to. Our defense and
serve receive was a huge issue we had on Saturday, we had a tough time with our serve receive in order to get good passes so that we could set up our offense. All of our sets were pretty close; we just didn’t have the oomph to finish strong. Michaela Lundy and Kearstan Schmidt did a great job of getting up and finishing the plays. Michaela Lundy ended the day with 16 kills and 7 blocks, Kearstan Schmidt ended the day with 21 kills and Katlyn Little added 17. Emma Miover ended the day with an awesome 28 digs and Myrissa ended the day with 23 assists.” Kearstan Schmidt attempting the kill on Saturday in Washington.

Cross Country Remi Duwa, Pekin
Sticking with the theme of underclassmen stepping up and getting things done at the varsity level, Remi Duwa has been terrific on a very good Pekin girls varsity cross country team. She has been under 21:00 minutes three times this season including most recently at the Conference Championship in Burlington, Notre Dame this past week. Duwa has only been beat by one other ninth grader this season, and that was in St. Louis in a extremely competitive and star-studded meet. Duwa will continue to get stronger as a runner for Pekin over the next three seasons, and Panther cross country fans are excited for the future with Remi Duwa and others.
Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor MONTEZUMA- The Sigourney Savage cross country team sent their main varsity runners on the boys team to Des Moines, while the girls and other varsity and JV boys got a chance to shine at Montezuma on Thursday, Oct. 6. The boys finished in eighth place as a team and the girls fifth. Ricky Danowsky was the highest finishing Savage boys runner at 46th place with a time of 23:14. Chris Barnett followed Danowsky at 23:53 good enough for 53rd. Trey Shafranek took 56th. Luke House got the all-important bragging rights over younger brother Ben as Luke came in 63rd and Ben House 64th. Eric Meiners took 70th overall followed by a host of Savage runners at 72nd-76th places. Keleb Reeves, Jesse Fritz, Spencer Magill, Zane Hahn and Ian Terfehn.

Monico Requena, Pekin
This week Monico exploded for 210 yards rushing on only ten carries, averaging an astonishing 20 plus yards a carry. Requena was also very active in the return game with a 19-yard kick return, and a 57-yard punt return giving him a total of 300 plus all-purpose yards in the game against Winfield-Mount Union. Monico had two touchdowns rushing on the game. Requena has been battling injuries this season, so to see him have a breakout game like this is a real good sign heading into his senior season next year for the Panthers. Requena’s performance helped Pekin topple Winfield 43-6. They are now 5-3 as a team and look to end their season with an upset bid over a good New London squad.
This award isn’t always given to the student athletes with the best statistics. Sometimes it’s the athletes who just do all the right things and maybe don’t get the huge stat lines, but keep the team in tact. That is what Emma Miover does for the Tri-County volleyball team. Emma has done a terrific job moving to libero, and has really done a terrific job passing the ball and helping set up the Trojan offense. This week Emma and the Trojans played seven total games going 1-6 as a team. Emma had 48 total digs through the week showing tremendous hustle. She doesn’t get kills, or even assists but she shows tremendous hustle and has helped make Tri-County a more competitive team this season then they have been in years past. Being only a freshman she will be providing steady and smart play for the Trojans for several years to come.
Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor COLUMBUS JUNCTION- The Sigourney boys took first and the girls finished second at the Mike Jay invite held on Monday, Oct. 3 at the Cedarcrest Country Club in Columbus Junction.

Pekin played well in their homecoming game on Friday night.
Sigourney’s defense was strong once again on Friday night against Louisa-Muscatine.
Pekin pummels Winfield SK trounces Louisa43-6 on homecoming Muscatine 55-12 at home Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor PEKIN- The Panthers rolled on homecoming night laying it to Winfield-Mt. Union on Friday, Oct. 7. The Panthers scored a pair of touchdowns in both the first two quarters and were able to build a 26-nothing halftime lead. After a scoreless third quarter, Pekin finished the game strong scoring 23 in the fourth winning 43-6. Monico Requena had a tremendous game as he was finally healthy enough to see extended action. He carried the football ten times for 202 yards and two touchdowns. Tyler Copeland added 18 carries for 101 yards and one touchdown. Trevor Northup added 80 yards and two touchdowns, and Keaton Baayen added one more touchdown to give Pekin seven rushing touchdowns from five different players. Torell Washington was all over the place defensively, getting a sack and being in on many tackles. Skyler Juhl was around the ball a lot throughout the night; being in on six or seven tackles and getting two on his own. Zach Conger and Chandler Eckley had fumble recoveries as well defensively in this one. Coach Blakely was very happy with his team’s success on homecoming and said the following regarding their big win; “It’s always nice to survive homecoming with a win. With all the fun stuff going on through out the week,
you hope it’s not too much of a distraction. Our kids handled it well and played hard Friday night.” Up next for the Panthers will be a tough game at New London. New London sits at 5-2 overall and is coming off a heart-breaking 17-14 loss to Lynneville-Sully last week. This game should be highly competitive and fun to watch. This will in actuality be Pekin’s final game of the regular season, as the Danville game next week is already marked down as a victory due to Danville having to forfeit their remaining games. So Pekin is assured of a winning season, but they are looking to finish up the regular season at 6-3 and play spoiler to New London’s playoff hopes. Coach Blakely had the following to say about this weeks game; “We try to treat every game the same and we can’t control the fact that we can’t play our last game so we will put everything we have left in to this one. Our only focus is New London right now and not so much the fact that it’s our last game. I think given the chance to play a playoff contender is great for us as the game has a lot riding on it for them. I’m sure there will be a lot of people in the district paying attention to what happens in New London Friday night.” Blakely finished up by saying, “We definitely want our seniors to go out on top and it would be a big win for us going into next season if we could beat a good New London team.”

Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor SIGOURNEY- The Savage Cobras struck fast and often as they built an early lead against Louisa-Muscatine on Friday, Oct. 7 at home. Avery Moore provided the first score when he was on the receiving end of a Luke Greiner touchdown pass of 52 yards. Moore struck again less than five minutes later with a 28yard rushing touchdown to put SK up 13-0. With 1:45 left in the first quarter Greiner scored on a 24-yard touchdown on the ground, then he added a 35-yarder less than a minute into the second quarter to put SK up 27-0. Avery Moore added two more long rushing touchdowns to keep his average of four touchdowns a game going. His rushing touchdowns were from 70 and then 45 yards out. His ability to reel off long touchdown runs and receptions made him an outstanding weapon for SK this season. Luke Greiner would add a couple more touchdowns on the ground to put his total for the game at four. His third rushing touchdown came from 47 yards out just under four minutes left to play in the first half. By the late third quarter it was 55-0 SK, before Louisa-Muscatine was able to tack a couple fourth quarter touchdowns on the board. SK ended up with over 500 yards of total offense having 360 on the ground and 150 through the air. SK did have two turnovers, but still won the turnover battle as they forced three from Louisa. Luke Greiner was 3/5 passing for 129 yards and a touchdown. Avery Moore had ten carries in this one for 187 yards and three touchdowns, and Greiner added eight rushing attempts for 136 yards and four touchdowns. They averaged 18.7 (Moore) and 17.0 (Greiner) per carry. Moore went over a hundred yards receiving in the game with 2 receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown. Louisa made the mistake of punting to Avery so he also added three returns for a modest 64 yards (21.3 avg.). Moore also added an interception and five tackles to his impressive stat line. Ben Appleget had 4.5 tackles.
Carson Crawford was back in action from a leg injury on the defensive side of the ball accumulating 3.5 tackles one of which was for a loss. Cooper Greiner had three total tackles including a sack. Tristan Sypherd had a sack as well in this game. Noah Boender as usual always seemed to be around the tackle and really ate up blockers on the inside, once again clearing the way for teammates to clean up the mess. Will Magill had another interception as well in this game. Cian Borra was perfect once again on extra point attempts going 7/7. “I’m excited about how well our team is playing right now. We have made progress each and every week and have to continue to do so these last two games. Focusing on ourselves right now is going to be the biggest key in our success from here on out,” Said head coach Jared Jensen about his 6-1 SK Cobras. “They are not satisfied with where they are and have been hungry and continuing to get better each day on the practice field and in the weight room. They have a goal that they have not reached and will continue to do whatever it takes to get themselves there. “ Sigourney will travel to Wapello this Friday who sit at 5-2 after a 48-7 loss at the hands of Wilton last week. Wapello’s two loses have come to Regina and Wilton who are a combined 12-2 at 6-1 apiece. So this won’t be a pushover for the Cobras, especially with the game being on the road anything can happen. SK will be almost completely healthy for this game as they should have Alec Schuster back at linebacker, as well as see Carson Crawford get some of the workload offensively in the backfield. Zech Boender is a little banged up but they will evaluate him as the week goes along to see if he can go. When asked what to expect from Wapello and the rest of the season coach Jensen responded, “We will see a big offensive and defensive line with a good looking running back. They will be our toughest test since the Regina game. We are looking at each game from here on out as a playoff game.”
Austin Roehrig with a big run on Monday night that brought everyone to their feet.
A moment that transcends sports as SK’s Austin Roehrig scores one of the Cobras most memorable touchdowns of the season Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor SIGOURNEY- Austin Roehrig, a local Keota teen who has Down syndrome, had the run of his life on Monday Oct. 10. In a pre-arraigned agreement, SK was given one untimed down to begin their JV game this Monday. They handed the ball to Austin who took the ball 60 yards for a touchdown. Austin was extremely excited as he chest pumped his teammates including standout senior Avery Moore who ran over in street clothes to show his buddy some love. It was truly one of those moments that you forget about the competitiveness of sports and no matter who you were there to watch you couldn’t help but cheer for Austin as he raced for the goal line. Congratulations Austin on your first career touchdown and always remember it buddy, because the rest of us can never forget it. A truly memorable moment to say the

Bears fall prey to the Tigers on homecoming Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor NORTH ENGLISH- The EV Bears had a hard time getting much going offensively or defensively Friday, Oct. 7 against Iowa Valley. The homecoming night quickly became Iowa Valley’s night as they scored early on the Bears and caused havoc on EV’s offense. EV had some things work at times, but stringing consecutive big plays together and all around stopping the Tigers offense plagued the Bears throughout the night. Caleb Peach did a nice job carrying the ball for the Bears scoring on a 32yard touchdown run and putting up 70 yards on 16 carries in the game. Jeff Montgomery added seven rushing attempts netting 26 yards. Cael Hester led the team passing going 4/8 for 66 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Clayton Moore was on the receiving end of a ten-yard touchdown strike from Hester. Ambrose Coffman secured two receptions for 41 yards while Ken Lundquist had one for 23 yards. Seth Thompson had an astonishing 12 kick returns for a total of 182 yards to lead the team in all-purpose yardage.
The contribution that EV gets from it’s freshman and sophomore class is a really good sign as a program, and the continued leadership from their seniors make this season not worth giving up on yet for the Bears. The strides they are making as a team have not and very well may not end up on the scoreboard or read through the lines, but experience gained this season and hard lessons learned may very well pay off for this core group of younger athletes if they stick it out and continue to work toward improving in the offseason heading into next football season. The leadership provided by their seniors can also be a steppingstone over these next couple weeks and help propel this program toward success in the future. EV will be at Midland, Wyoming for their next to last game of the season as they continue to search for their first win at 0-7. Midland sits at 6-1 and is sitting primed for a playoff run in 8-man. Then, EV will come back home to finish up the season against Springville. They can make a statement over these next couple weeks and give their football program something to really build off of moving forward.

Tri-County drops their seventh in a row this season at home vs. Moravia Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor THORNBURG- The Trojans had a rough start to their district game against Moravia at home Friday, Oct. 7. They trailed 41-0 when the first quarter mercifully came to an end for the Trojans. After that they played pretty good offensive and defensive football for the final three quarters of the game being outscored 32-14 in that span. Both of Tri-County’s touchdowns came in the second quarter in which they held tough being outscored only by four points, but Moravia with big plays early and often had already decided this game for the Trojans. Walter McKay carried the ball ten times for Tri-County for a total of 36 yards, while Tegon Fogle had 12 carries but for only three yards. Fogle did have a rushing touchdown though in the second quarter. Brayden Monroe was worked in a little as well with more success as far as yards per carry go with 14 yards on five carries. Monroe also completed one pass for four yards. Lane Williams was 2/6 passing for
12 yards. Fogle led the way on defense making 14 total tackles; McKay was the next leading tackler with six. Dylan Seaton had five, and Clay Harper had four to help the Trojan defense. Fogle had five punts for 141 yards on the game with a long punt of 48 yards, and Fogle also took a kickoff return 73 yards for the other touchdown in the game. He had 129 total kick return yardage to lead the team in total all-purpose yards. Tri-County will travel to Meskwaki Settlement in what will be a big game for both of these teams. Tri-County now sits at 1-7 while Meskwaki is 0-7. The Trojans continue to struggle defensively and have spurts offensively of success, but struggle to maintain drives and find a true identity. This week against Meskwaki Settlement they should have success offensively running the football as virtually every opponent has gashed Meskwaki this season on the ground. Tri-County has two road games to end their season and is hoping for some more excitement to end the Trojan football season and possibly real off a couple wins for their seniors.
