Get to know the candidates running for important positions in our area About Michael “Mick” Berg
12 years as Supervisor – lived all my life in Keokuk County and live on the farm where my great, great grandfather settled in 1847. I have farmed my entire life and live in paradise! Married to Kathleen for 51 years, have 3 children and 9 grandchildren. I want to college at the age of 40 with the interest of becoming a school counselor. In my 3rd year, I got an off to work for ISU in economic development so I jumped the college ship and worked for ISU for 7 years. I ran a retail business, feed and hardware Michael Berg for 17 years and loved it. I am a long time member of the Knights of Columbus. Hobbies include genealogy, poetry, history, telling stories, singing (I sometimes singe at nursing homes). Although I am frugal and believe strongly of being fiscally responsible, I believe we must help those that are down, not a hand out but a hand up, the handicapped, the aged, the children, the veterans. We also must continue to be there for those with misfortune. I am not political, I simply believe what I believe – no party will govern my decision. I agree with Thomas Jefferson’s statement of “Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those willing to work and give it to those who would not.” What went into you decision to run for re-election in 2016? The current Board compliments each other and works well together. I like doing this job, feel I’m good at it, have continued knowledge and care about people – being an Ag country, my knowledge of agriculture is a positive. What are some challenges Keokuk County faces today and how do you plan to approach them? Roads – continue working with Engineer Taxes - keep low, but maintain services Mental Health – stay on legislature for positive decisions Name a time you were put in a difficult situation. How did you handle said situation? Road and bridge closures – this is painful for me – we as a Board must weigh out what is best for the county and those involved. How have you involved yourself in this community over the past 5 years? Promote Belva Deer, give tours of the Courthouse, support Veterans, support Salvation Army. What skills do you possess that make you the most qualified person for this position. I bring levity to the Board and Courthouse, humor is the best medicine – dissention seldom follows me. Knowledgeable about county related business and agricultural – understanding the needs of handicapped individuals. BERG to page 3
About Randy Schultz
I am a lifelong resident of Keokuk County. I have been married 41 years to my wife, Deb. We have 3 children and will welcome our 6th grandchild by Thanksgiving. I worship with the Park church of Christ in Oskaloosa as I have since my youth. I grew up on a corporate farm my father managed until retirement. He taught me to value a day’s work and to be honest even when it’s the harder choice. I returned to Sigourney after attending Indian Hills Community College to be employed as a Field EnRandy Schultz gineer by Kingsberry Homes. The housing slump and beginning of the farm crisis in the early 1980’s led me to use the same skills for the Keokuk County Highway Dept. for 16 years. As an Engineering Tech, I monitored the contractors on our larger construction projects. Many of you also knew me back then as the Ariens Mower guy. Since 1999, I have worked for the IUPAT from my home office independently negotiating labor agreements and resolving disputes with many County Boards, City Councils and Boards of Education across Iowa. I am currently in my second term on the Sigourney City Council. What went into your decision to run for BOS? I have considered running for the Board of Supervisors for a long time. When I worked for the County previously, I was able to observe firsthand the decisions made both good and bad by various members of the Board. Proper management of County business requires maintaining an adequate workforce without undermining the mission. No one is perfect, but patterns develop after a while. Running for this position is about me, not about anyone else. I am 61 years old. Personally, the timing is right for me to seek this position. My intention is serve 2 terms. There would have to be a very compelling reason for me to remain in office longer. Name a time you were put in a difficult situation. How did you handle it? Some of you know about the car accident my wife was in when we were in our 20’s. I was out of State working, my oldest child was 3 weeks old and construction was scheduled to begin on our first house the following week. I decided to proceed with the plan even when everything else seemed SCHULTZ to page 3
Christy Bates, Keokuk County Auditor
Tell me about your family: I am the daughter of Marion and Reta Streigle and I was born and raised in Keokuk County. I take pride in being a life-long resident and am proud to have raised my family here as well. My husband Ted and I live on a shy eighty-acre farm a couple of miles outside of Sigourney. I am the mother of threeEric, Chelsey and Spencer; grandmother of five; stepmother and s t e p - g r a nd mot he r. Life’s greatest gifts are family, friends and Christy Bates good health. How long have you been the Keokuk County Auditor? I have served as Keokuk County Auditor since November of 2000. The position has many responsibilities associated with the operation of the county and proves to be enjoyable, educational and forever changing. What accomplishments have you made? I have attained State Election Administrators Training (SEAT) certification through the Secretary of State office. The Auditor’s office staff and I have endured the transition from lever voter machines, to touch screen equipment, to the current optical scan voting equipment, all within the last ten years due to the 2006 Help America Vote Act. The Supervisors and I have worked together to maintain the integrity of the courthouse. I served as point of contact for the following major projects: new windows, roof, tuck-pointing, electrical wiring, interior painting, and floor polishing. I applied for and received grant funding towards the Courthouse generator and Medicolegal Death Investigator training twice, as well as assisted with Belva Deer trail application for grant funds. What are your plans for the future years? The future is dictated by legislature. I believe it’s a given that election laws and equipment will continue to evolve. Replacement of voting equipment will be in the near future and we have begun the discussion regarding upgrading real estate and financial software, as well. I will continue to attend the educational trainings offered throughout the year that keep officials well informed.

Osweiler set to hourly beginning December 1 Amie Van Patten Regional Editor U.S. Department of Labor has put into place a new overtime rule that is going to change the way a lot of city governments as well as businesses run. The city of Keota has one employee that this change would affect, city clerk Niki Osweiler. During the October 17 meeting, the council looked into how this will affect the
Farmers Cooperative
Osweiler’s position and how they are going to adjust to comply with it. As of December 1, Osweiler will become an hourly employee rather than salary, and will accumulate time and half for any hours worked after the designated 40 hours per week. The accumulated time may be taken off at a later time approved by council. This change will be made by a resolution at the next council meeting on November 7.

Switching it up
After literally years of speculation, Nintendo finally released the first solid details of their next-generation system, the Nintendo Switch. Previously known under it’s development name, the NX, the rumor mill surrounding Nintendo’s next system has been churning for years. Strangely enough, the rumors were pretty much all correct, starting with the new console’s defining gimmick. The Nintendo Switch isn’t just a home console, but a console/handheld hybrid. The main unit of the device is really just a portable LCD screen with some heavy duty hardware inside. You can set the main unit into a dock which transfers the main screen to your television, or you can snap on a controller accessory to each side and use it as a portable gaming device. The rumor that Nintendo’s next system would be a hybrid always seemed outlandish. Nintendo has maintained a very profitable grip on the handheld market for decades. Why compete with yourself in an area you already dominate? But the rumor continued to persist, The more time passed, the more believable it became, if only because this is exactly the sort of decision Nintendo would make. It’s never enough for them to just make a system that plays games. For ten years now they’ve had to be different. The Nintendo Wii had its motion controls. The Wii-U had its tablet controller. Now we have the Switch which, to be fair, is as close to a traditional console that Nintendo has made in
the last decade. In theory, you could never remove the system from its dock and it would effectively function identically to a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. However, performance is another matter. Once again, Nintendo remains behind the curve when it comes to graphical prowess. In a best case scenario, the Nintendo Switch will be almost as powerful as the three year old Xbox One, while still costing as much, if not more, due to the expensive LCD screen attached to it. That’s a hard sell for anybody that isn’t enamored by the novelty of playing home based video games on the go. Another seemingly unlikely rumor that ended up being true was that the new system will be cartridge based rather than disk based. This is a bold move for Nintendo considering their history with the format. In the mid-90s, when Sony entered the gaming market with the CD based PlayStation, Nintendo steadfastly held to their tradition of cartridge based games. Because CDs could store more data while still being produced at a fraction of the cost of cartridges, Sony’s PlayStation was a much less risky choice for developers to make games for. Nintendo did eventually switch to a disk based system in 2001 with
the Nintendo GameCube, but by then the damage had been done. The decision to stick with cartridges in 1996 was one of the turning points that lead to Nintendo’s fall as the top dog in the industry. But times have changed. Solid state media has come a long way in the last two decades. And, of course, cartridges come with advantages of their own. Where disk-based systems require power consuming moving parts, and fans to cool those moving parts, cartridges use less space, less power, and are less prone to damage during everyday use. I’ve long ago stopped trying to predict whether or not Nintendo’s latest scheme will wildly succeed or backfire spectacularly. I think there’s little chance that their next system sees any more success than their last one, but who knows. This could be the one that catches lightning in a bottle again and takes the world by storm. I’ll get one either way. I already have a PC for mainstream gaming, so all I really need from Nintendo is my Mario and Zelda fix. That’s enough. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and has a PC that does what Nintendon’t.
BERG from page 1 As a public official, what has been your most important goal? How do you plan on achieving said goal? To stay on budget, The team of Supervisors and Auditor have a good handle on fiscal responsibility. Greatest accomplishment while public office? Board decisions are not sole ac-
complishments. Hiring the Engineer, appointment of Recorder, hiring Assessor. Working with constituents, not against them. Making the Courthouse beautiful. If re-elected to the Board of Supervisors, what will you continue to work on during your next term? A building for Secondary Roads, the current building is crumbling and dangerous. Continue to work
in every corner of our county – be there for everyone. Stay frugal, but fiscally responsible!

SCHULTZ from page 1 wrong side up. It was the right decision. When I was leaving employment with the Road Dept. 17 years ago and beginning work in my current position, the person whom I had worked alongside was killed. That person was to be my mentor. I made the decision to follow through and accepted a much greater challenge. It was the right thing to do. On another occasion I received a lot of positive feedback from Sigourney residents when I had voted “no” on a popular project that I believed needed more planning before proceeding, while the majority of the Council voted “yes”. The matter was misinterpreted by many of the same folks who had made comments as something that would potentially raise property taxes. That wasn’t the issue at all since the funding came from another source. Understanding where the money comes from and being proactive in its spending is the best approach. Communication is first and foremost in reaching difficult solutions. How have you involved yourself in this community over the past 5 years? First, I must say that I understand that Keokuk County is much bigger than Sigourney, however that’s where I live and answer the question accordingly. During the past 5 years, I have served as Mayor Pro Tem and continue to serve as the chair of the Public Safety Committee and participate in the committees for Sewer, and Streets and Sanitation. I am on the Fire Board for Sigourney Township. Another matter I have been working on during the past year is the perpetual care compliance issues for the Garrett Cemetery Association near Delta. What skills do you possess that make you the most qualified to run for the Board of Supervisors? I am not the incumbent for this position. Actually, that’s a good thing. Working outside of this County most of the time has allowed me to have frequent conversations with other Boards and Councils about their dayto-day problems. We all share some of the same issues and yet many are different. Working on solutions to be in compliance with standards is what I have done throughout my working career. Those who know me well would tell you that I work hard to solve problems. Does that cause me to be the most qualified? If not, it at least brings a new perspective to the table. What are some challenges facing Keokuk County today and how do you plan to approach them? Some of the greatest challenges facing Keokuk County today come from the State or Federal Government in the form of mandates. Similarly, the citizens of Keokuk County often see things differently when it comes to what best suites their individual needs as it relates to where they reside or how they support their families. All counties are dealing with the reorganization of Health and Human Services through the State’s consolidation efforts. I have heard many concerns about who wins or loses when the change is complete. We don’t get the

chance to determine such matters as this through “home rule”. Adapting to work within a system can be difficult. For example, Secondary Roads continues to face a huge challenge regarding structurally deficient bridges. The State finally passed a gas tax increase last year to bolster Road Use Funds and this year cut the IDOT budget. These are different matters, but demonstrates how challenging such matters remain when resources are determined upstream. It may be impossible to stay ahead of the bridge issue, but it is imperative to be continually working on the problem to maintain the rural road system to the best of our ability. The County Road’s maintenance shop is another item. I have visited many of the shops in other counties and will tell you that Keokuk County’s is the most outdated facility I have seen. Funds were accumulating toward a replacement some time ago and personalities got in the way of progress. Eventually it will cost the taxpayers a lot more to deal with it. Difficult decisions must be made by governing boards at spending levels that we are not always accustomed to in our personal business, but in the end, “kicking the can down the road” may not be the best value. Each issue should be weighed on its own merit if possible. As a public official, what has been your most important goal? How do you plan on achieving said goal? I believe the most important goal for any public official is to maintain integrity. That’s what I plan to do when voted into office. Keokuk County is my home and I consider this my next opportunity in public service. My only promise to the reader is that I will make every effort to do the best job possible. Greatest accomplishment while in public office? It is important to note that members of Boards and Councils work together, so I will take no individual credit for joint accomplishments.
I have been involved with the huge challenge Sigourney faces to become compliant with the Clean Water Act. Choosing the best design to upgrade the sewer treatment facility is not as hard as accumulating and obtaining the funds to make it happen. However, we do have a plan that is moving forward at this time to comply with the mandate. We also made the commitment to move forward on nuisance abatement issues. This often meets resistance, but the surrounding property owners as well as the residents in general, appreciate the efforts when completed. If elected to the Board of Supervisors, what will you work towards during your first term? When I announced my candidacy for the Board of Supervisors at the County Convention earlier this year, I stated that I wasn’t running on an “issue”. There is no shortage of issues that come before any governing body. The real question is whether an individual who seeks a public office has the qualifications and experience to make balanced decisions based upon the facts and available resources. Agriculture and related industry is the backbone of our rural economy. Being a “Friend of Agriculture” is necessary without question. Being a friend to the rest of our population is important, too. Family farms allow a few of our children to remain in the area, but not enough. Many of us have exported our children to other areas for better opportunities. Economic development stands a better chance through concerted joint efforts. Offering incentives to lure business remains a viable option, but I believe it wise to consider equally the long term costs associated with such ventures. We must keep working as well to make broadband Internet service readily available everywhere in the County. It has become so necessary today in effective marketing and utilization of the latest technology in all business. It’s a problem that needs to be fixed.

The council will discuss this matter after the letter is sent to see what their next step will be if the violations are not corrected. Osweiler looked into what other communities are doing for temporary reserved parking for businesses. Some communities have permitted parking and others have reserved parking for a businesses. Each option makes it the businesses responsibility to mark their parking spots. The council will keep this information in mind if they have to revisit reserved parking issues.

Your Votes Matter
Amie Van Patten Regional Editor Each week up until election, we will post a poll on our Facebook page to see what issues are relevant to Ke-
okuk County residents. This week the poll was about immigration. Next week the poll will focus on terrorism.
Election Day gives voters throughout the United States a chance to participate in their government. The right to vote is something to cherish, as many people across the globe do not get a chance to elect the officials who govern their countries. While Election Day is an exciting time, voters may find it frustrating if they do not take steps to ensure things go smoothly when they head to the polls. The following tips can help voters prepare for Election Day. Confirm your polling location. Polling locations may have changed since last year, and voters who have moved in the past 12 months may now have to vote in a new location. Voters can contact their local board of elections or visit www.Vote411.org to confirm the correct polling locations for them to cast their votes. Voters should learn the hours when the polls are open so they do not arrive too early or too late to vote. Bring photo identification. Voter identification laws vary by state, but voters who want to avoid hassles or holdups may be able to do so by bringing current photo identification with them to the polling place. While such identification is not necessarily a requirement, voters who bring along a driver’s license or state identification
card may get in and out of the polling place more quickly than those who do not. Confirm you are registered to vote through board of elections in advance of Election Day. Sometimes voters’ names may not appear on the registration list when they arrive to vote, even if they previously registered. Poll workers can help voters who find themselves in such situations. But voters who want to avoid such hassles on Election Day can confirm their registration beforehand. Be familiar with the candidates and issues on the ballot. Voting is a privilege and a responsibility, so voters should familiarize themselves with the candidates and issues on the ballot in the weeks leading up to Election Day. In addition to national or statewide candidates and issues, voters should learn about local issues that may have a more direct impact on their daily lives. The more voters learn about the candidates and issues in advance, the more quickly they can cast their votes and get to work or return home. Voting on Election Day is a privilege that voters should not take lightly. Taking certain steps in the weeks ahead of Election Day can make it easier for voters to cast their ballots.

Cameras capture a new case for Keokuk County Amie Van Patten Regional Editor Ricki Sinn of Kalona and Brian Hamston of Washington are facing several charges in Keokuk County after an investigation led to the illegal harvesting of Ginseng and criminal trespassing in central Keokuk County. A central Iowa farmer became aware of individuals trespassing on his land through the use of a trail camera. After contacting the Keokuk County Sheriff’s Department, officer Eric Kephart was able
to identify the plant as ginseng, and an investigation involving the Sheriff’s department as well as the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR), led to Sinn and Hamston incurring two counts of trespassing pursuant to Iowa code 716.8(1) from offenses on September 17 and October 1, as well as 54 counts of violation of ginseng regulations pursuant to Iowa code 456.24(11). According to DNR game warden Wes Gould, “The Ginseng charges are a different case than we normally see. Sinn claims he has been
harvesting this for approximately 30 years throughout southeast Iowa. After research, it is determined that three pounds of wet root are equivalent to one pound of dry root. These roots are then sold to markets mainly in China for around $125.00 a pound.” Although Sinn did have a license to harvest Ginseng, which can be obtained in the Manchester DNR office, both Sinn and Hamston were not following the proper protocols for harvest of the plant This license allows the harvester to harvest on
their own land or on land where they are granted permission. In this case, permission was not granted, which led to trespassing charges as well. Both are scheduled to appear in court on October 31.

Sellers splits time between four schools as HR Manager By CJ Eilers News Editor Missy Sellers might be a Sigourney graduate, but she now works to improve human resource duties at English Valleys, Keota, Pekin and Sigourney as the new HR Manager for all four districts. In May of this year, the four area school districts began discussing the need for shared a Human Resource Manager whose duties would include personnel filing, documentation, approving advertisements, handling insurance and Affordable Care Act (ACA), and making sure the districts meet the numerous requirements under ACA. In June, the schools chose Sellers, who has nine-years of experience in human resource with University of Iowa Health Care and lives in Sigourney. English Valleys holds Sellers contract, but in order to split her time as evenly as possible, the schools agreed to have her on their campuses for one day a week, with Monday acting as a weekly rotation day. Sellers is at Keota School District on Tuesday, Pekin on Wednesday, Sigourney on Thursday, and English Valleys on Friday. “It’s been a challenging, because human resources in a health care field has major differences from my current position with the schools,” Sellers said. “I’ve been here since August, and I have barely scratched the surface, especially with something as tremendous as the ACA.” Along with the above duties, Sellers is making it a priority to watch and understand each school’s work process, and get to know both new
Keota was one of the departments that was called to help in the October 23 fire in Keota.
Keota provides mutual aid for large fire in What Cheer Miss Sellers and veteran staff. Currently, Sellers is scheduling tours of Pekin to discuss the upcoming bond election for improvements to the school, streamlining the processes of all the schools into one simple process, and filing reports to the state for administration, teachers and staff. Its those same people she works with each week, however, that make Sellers glad she has this position “I enjoy meeting some many new people and learning about them,” Sellers said. “Everyone has been very friendly and I feel welcomed at all the schools.”
Amie Van Patten Regional Editor Keota’s fire truck was once again put to good use over the weekend as What Cheer called nine fire departments for help with an abandoned building on their
main street. Roads were blocked for seven hours as crews helped to fight a fire that took the building and as Seaton Construction helped with cleanup. Keota’s ladder truck was very essential with the large building as they were able to fight the fire from the top.
While she tackles the mountain of responsibilities before her, Sellers plans to make her colleagues jobs easier, by eventually taking over the reins of ACA work and making sure the districts comply with the Federal Medical Leave Act, which protects employees who take time off for medical conditions and lets them keep their jobs. Sellers enjoys spending time with her family-husband Aaron and sons Hunter and Nile- in her free time. She loves the outdoors, the Detrioit Lions, Chicago Cubs and is the lone Cyclone in her family.
Keota’s ladder truck was a huge asset in the building fire

‘Slay It Again Sam’ at Wooden Wheel Vineyard Amie Van Patten Regional Editor Wooden Wheel Vineyard was filled with question of “Whodunit?” after a performance from UpStage Productions on October 23. Wooden Wheel was transformed into Rick’s Café as guests were
found looking for who killed Victor in the case of the Maltese chicken. Guests were able to interact and enjoy a nice dinner as the crowd played parts in the story telling event as well. With only five people making the correct guess, the murder mystery was a crowd pleaser.
Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor CEDAR RAPIDS- The Keota Eagles cross country season is at an end, but what they lacked in overall numbers this year they made up for with individual effort. Tuner Klein has been one of the most consistent runners all season long on the boys’ side. He once again had an excellent showing at the State qualifying cross country meet at Noelridge Park in Cedar Rapids on Thursday, Oct. 20. Klein finished seventh overall with a time of 16:59. Turner, with his performance, qualifies for the State cross country meet in Fort Dodge this upcoming Saturday, Oct. 29. Logan Sieren also had a good finish for Keota ending his season with a 60th place finish with a time of 18:56. Sieren has had a terrific season as he has made his time faster as the year has rolled along. On the girls side of things, Laurie Amos ran very well finishing 73rd with a time of 25:49. She also has made drastic improvements as the season has gone on and deserves praise for her great work. Klein is amped in preparation for the State meet and will look to represent himself and his school on Saturday. He has continuous-
Keota’s volleyball season come to an end at EV in Regional matchup Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor NORTH ENGLISH- Keota lost at EV on Tuesday, Oct. 18 to fall to 2-16 on the season, as it ends on the road in heartbreaking fashion. Keota won the first two sets with relative ease, getting out to a 2-0 set lead. They appeared to be cruising to an easy Regional victory, but you have to hand it to the EV Bears, they never gave up in this one and after gutting out a hard-fought third set, and the Eagles being crushed 25-8 in the fourth set, the match was decided by a 15-9 EV victory in set number five. This was a dramatic and exciting match that the Eagles unfortunately found themselves on the short end of. To have the season end in
such a tough loss is hard on these girls right now to take, but as they will be returning much of their talent next season they should have a more experienced and poised team heading back next year. To get out to such a quick and dominant lead only to see it fade away is hard on any team, and the season having to end in such a fashion makes it all the more difficult. They played well in four of the sets really forcing the attack all night, just some untimely errors and mistakes plagued the Eagles once again to help contribute to their downfall. It was a tough season for the Eagles, but they learned a lot as a team and as said can take these experiences with them into next year and build off of them.
Keota’s Laurie Amos faired well and ended her season on a high note at Cedar Rapids. ly stayed in the top five to ten in every meet he has participated in, and once again when running against the best in his class stepped up to the challenge. He will look to continue his success and help with his performance to get Keota cross country on the map and more runners out next season. Gracie McHugh with the kill attempt.

Sigourney-Keota’s Cole Brenneman along with teamates Alec Schuster, Tanner Bos and Cooper Greiner are all smiles after their playoff clinching victory against Wilton Friday.

Sigourney-Keota clinches State playoff birth edging Wilton 35-28- SK played great team football once again en rout to their 35-28 victory over Wilton.
Sigourney-Keota clinches State playoff birth edging out Wilton 35-28 Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor SIGOURNEY- The Cobras were explosive running the football once again on Friday, but the highlight of the night went to the defense who forced six turnovers against Wilton on Friday, Oct. 21. It was a back and forth matchup that saw the defense make several decisive turnovers that resulted in, or led to SK points. The game began on a somewhat ominous note with Wilton’s Evan Reifert taking the opening kickoff for a 90 yard touchdown, putting the Beavers up 6-0 less than 20 seconds into the game. The Cobras put together a quick dive capped off by a Carson Crawford four-yard touchdown plunge. Then with just over a minute to play in the first quarter a Jerome Mays pass was intercepted by Noah Boender, who rumbled ahead like a locomotive into the end zone, putting SK up 14-6. SK struck again with a little over 8:30 left in the second quarter when Avery Moore ran in a 14-yard touchdown putting SK up 21-6. Mays struck for Wilton from 25 yards out, and with the 2-point conversion made the score 21-14 with a little over eight minutes left until halftime. Then, nothing from both offenses’, and the defenses’ for both teams took over for a good portion of this game. The Cobras put together a beautiful drive which was capped off by a sev-
en-yard Carson Crawford touchdown run, making it a 28-14 SK lead. After a Jerome Mays 55-yard touchdown run, SK put together another nice drive off of a Wilton turnover. Crawford struck for his third touchdown of the night, this time from 31 yard out. The score was 35-21 and less than 30 seconds later Wilton struck again with a Reifert 59 yard touchdown reception from Mays, making it a 35-28 score with 9:30 left in the game. Then the SK defense took control again and shut down the big plays from Wilton. They forced several more fumbles in this time span and late in the game Noah Reeves had a big late-game interception to help seal the deal. Alec Schuster had several fumble recoveries and was in on many plays defensively, Boender and Cooper Greiner were forces on the line that kept Jerome Mays on the run for much of the night. Boender finished with five total tackles as well as one sack and two tackles for loss. Boender had the interception for a touchdown in this game, which was a huge momentum shifter early on in this game. Cooper Greiner also had a sack in this one to go with three total tackles. Alec Schuster had four tackles and at least one fumble recovery, possibly two. As a team, SK had 421 total yards, all of which were on the ground. Avery Moore had 23 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown in the game. Carson Crawford had
Sigourney-Keota’s defense forced six turnovers on the night, including a fumble caused by a host of Cobras in the first half. 25 rushes for 128 yards and three big touchdowns. Luke Greiner topped off the three-headed monster at SK with another 100-yard night with 121 on the ground in 21 carries. The offensive line was magnificent once again for the Cobras with a tremendous effort by the guys up front. SK doubled Wilton in total plays ran and once again dominated the time of possession in yet another contest. There were a lot of penalties in this one. At one point five straight holding calls were flagged against SK, which was met with understandable frustration from the home crowd. SK was penalized ten times for a total of 80 yards,
while Wilton also was penalized quite a bit with seven for 75 yards. So a sloppy game both ways, but the turnovers were the definite x-factor in this game. “It was a huge reason why we won the game. We have caused 28 turnovers on the year. Any time you can cause that many turnovers throughout the year and 6 in any game, you are playing very well on defense. A lot of times
it comes down to your kids being in the right spot at the right time. We have that coupled with kids hitting hard and causing the ball to pop out.” Said head coach Jared Jensen about his defense in the game and all season. SK now prepare for Pella Christian in what will be an away game at PC on this upcoming Friday, Oct. 28. PC is 9-0 and has a dynamic weapon at quarterback. And weapons throughout on the outside at wide receiver and running back. “We are going to have to out score PC, put long drives together, eat clock and continue to win the turnover battle. PC is only giving up 8.9 points per contest this season. Defensively we are going to have to continue to force turnovers, limit their big plays forcing them to sustain drives.” Said Jensen about the matchup against PC this Friday. Cooper Greiner said he was excited about the chance to top undefeated Pella Christian, as did Alec Schuster. Both showing the confidence that this whole team has exuded all season long. They have entered every game with the mind set that they are the more dominant team and that has trickled
from their head coach on down and you can really see that when talking with a kid like Luke Greiner, who said, “Anybody can beat anyone on any given day”, when asked about undefeated PC. Schuster said; “I don’t ever look up teams or rosters before we play them. I just go into it with the idea that I’m going to go out and do my job and… Pella Christian is going to see that they are I guess the second best team in 1A after we win Friday.” Schuster saying he didn’t know PC was undefeated before seeing the matchup against them announced on Saturday morning. SK is primed and pumped to make a statement in highly competitive 1A playoff field that sees four undefeated teams and 15 teams with a 7-2 record or better in the field. SK will have to slow down a high-flying Pella-Christian football team that looks to throw more often than run. SK will attack with their playmakers from the running back and quarterback positions in Greiner, Moore and Crawford. It should be a terrific game this Friday in Pella as the Cobras look to continue on the road to the Dome.
