The 200th Street crossing has been closed for the winter and will be opened after work is completed next year.
Replacement of to 200th Street water crossing approved by Board of Supervisors By CJ Eilers News Editor The Keokuk County Board of Supervisors met for their regular weekly meeting on Monday, Dec. 5 to discuss several topics. During their last meeting on November 28, Keokuk County Engineer Andrew McGuire presented issues with a low water crossing on 200th Street, north of Sigourney. The crossing has a hole in the surface, collapsed pipes, and needs replaced or to be closed. A bid previously reported from
Iowa Bridge and Culvert out of Washington at approximately $74,000 was reduced to $71,259 due to a measurement miscommunication. The project was not included on the county’s five year plan, and needed approval to be included. Residents near the crossing were in attendance to state their case for a repair job. By a two to one roll call vote, the project was approved by the Board to be placed on the plan and the bid from Iowa Bridge and Culvert accepted. The Board reviewed the grant provid-
ed by the Washington County Riverboat Foundation last month for the Belva Deer Trail project totaling $82,436. A formal execution was necessary to acknowledge that the Board would use the grant for the purpose it was provided for. Work on the Belva Deer Trail will resume in the summer or fall of next year, pending clearance from the Department of Transportation. County Attorney John Schroeder attended the meeting to discuss the disposition of a parcel of land located at the southwest
corner of Highway 21 and County Road G14, approximately two miles east of Gibson and five miles north of What Cheer. According to Schroeder, the disposition of the real estate is under consideration pending arrangements with him to comply with requirements regarding disposing of the county’s interest in the land. Times and dates were originally discussed for bidding, but are put on hold until those arrangements are made.
KCHC to provide mammography services on site By CJ Eilers News Editor The Keokuk County Health Center (KCHC) Board of Trustees met on Thursday, Dec. 1, where they discussed offering mammography services at the hospital in lieu of mobile services previously offered through Mercy. Back in September, it was announced that Mercy Medical Center out of Cedar Rapids would no longer be providing mammography screenings and other services in Keokuk County, along with other Iowa locations. Since then, KCHC has weighed options of finding a new service or providing these services themselves in the radiology department. The cost for new equipment necessary to host mammography screenings ranges from $139,000 to $260,000. An estimated 10 to 12 patients per month sought screenings through the Mercy mobile services according to KCHC CEO Matt Ives. The decision was placed on the Board to bring this service to KCHC. Consideration was made if this service would be profitable enough to maintain, and if enough people would seek screenings. The Board was presented a quote for
Selenia Dimensions Mammography System that KCHC plans on acquiring. screening equipment by Browns Medical Imaging for $190,000 and would have to have a decision made by the end of the year to secure that price. The motion to approve providing mammography services was approved unanimously. KCHC has hired Dr. Cheryl Quinn D.O. as a new provider
for the Keokuk County Medical Clinic. Dr. Quinn will assist with the clinic’s inpatients services and provide supervision, as well as be the medical director for the Keota Nursing Home. She has over 12 years experience, is a board certified Family Medicine Physician, and is expected to begin her posi-
tion in early January. Ambulance Director Casey Thompson reported that the electrical wiring in the new ambulance garage is complete and the hope is to have a concrete approach in before winter weather hits hard. Work is being done to the piping and drainage systems in the specialty clinic, which has seen fewer patients in the last several months. Due to the lack of workload, getting this project along has proven easier. KCHC will need to replace their compressor in the near future. Thompson is looking into prices, estimating the work will cost around $15,000. For the Ambulance and Ancillary Services report, Thompson feels that they will hit 800 calls by the end of the year. Policy procedures are being put into place for the new Crown Vic the hospital acquired from the Sigourney Police Department. As mental health patients will be transported with the vehicle, Thompson is looking at what policies other hospital have in to place already. A weekend paramedic has been hired and will join three other hires this month for training at the hospital.

By CJ Eilers News Editor A new tornado siren system in Sigourney will be tested this week after installation is completed for the new siren locations. Three sirens-two new and the original siren-will be placed at strategic points throughout Sigourney to alert everyone in city limits. The original siren will be moved to the lagoon system by the Keokuk County Expo, the first new siren on the corner of Jefferson and Hickory, and finally the last siren by the water tower. According to Sigourney Police Chief Allan Glandon, the test time has not been deter-
mined. Crews will arrive Monday to begin set up and are not expected to have the system ready that day. Before the warning system is operational, it will need electrical work done and underground wiring will need set up. Weather could also play a factor in the test. The new system will produce a different alarm than the previous system. The Sigourney City Council approved this new outdoor warning system back in September, with RC Systems out of Waterloo providing two new sirens for the project for $66,725. Grants from federal and state dollars were used to purchase the system, while the city has purchased the poles for the sirens.
One of the two new sirens to be installed at the water tower and near the elementary school.
Matthew Murphy
Murphy trial to be rescheduled Amie Van Patten Regional Editor Matthew Murphy is currently awaiting trial on sexual abuse against minors charges in Jefferson County. Murphy was originally planned to appear in court December 6 on sexual abuse charges and again in January. Due to Judge Wilson’s retirement, there have been scheduling issues in the 8th district, so the plan is to continue the Murphy trial along with others in Jefferson County. No formal action has been planned at this time in either case against him. Murphy was formerly employed by the Southern Iowa Area Crime Commission and was a Reserve Deputy for the Keokuk County Sheriff’s Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation, and the Defendants are presumed innocent until and if found guilty in a Court of Law.

Tragic accident claims life of Sigourney grad By CJ Eilers News Editor Just before 10 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 1, a pickup suddenly crashed through the front door of the Walmart in Pella, leaving several injured and four dead. Carrie Zugg, a 2003 graduate of Sigourney High School, was working her second job at Walmart that day when she was among those who were killed in what has been penned as an accident by authorities. Zugg lived in Leighton and worked two jobs at Sigourney Pizza Ranch and the Walmart in Pella. She lieved with her boyfriend of 10 years, Dustin Hampton, and they had a son, Hunter Joseph Hampton, on October 30, 2015. “I had gotten calls from others about what had happened to Carrie,” Heidi Johnson, a high school classmate of Zugg’s. “She was an amazing person that saw the best in other people. Carrie was very outgoing and put a smile on everyone’s face, no matter what she was going through herself.” Other high school classmates, lead by class president Kimi Hernandez, contacted the family of Zugg to learn
what they could do to honor Zugg’s memory and support her son. Donations can be made to the Hunter Joseph Hampton Memorial Fund through Bates Funeral Home in Oskaloosa. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Carrie’s family through this difficult time,” Hernandez said
By CJ Eilers News Editor The Hedrick City Council met for their monthly meeting on Monday, Dec. 5 at the Hedrick Library. A water line pipe near the Carl Craft Civic Center keeps breaking and gushing out water. City maintenance feels this pipe is at the end of its life and needs replacing. The council voted to abandon the old line and put a twoinch line in. Mayor Crawford wanted to make sure all supplies were in place before replacing the line. Work on the line could begin as early as next week. Bills and time cards were approved by the city council except the bill for the Norris Asphalt job, which the city feels wasn’t done correctly. According to members of the council, North Spring Street was skipped for asphalt, which they state was in the contract. City officials will talk with Norris Asphalt to get the situation straightened out, but will not pay the bill until then. No update on the animal control issue with Paws and Claws was provided. The city is waiting on a trial date to be established by the state.
According to documents obtained in the Keokuk County Courthhouse, owner Aimee Crowe has submitted her response to a discovery questionnaire. The council have not heard from the state or John Wehr since the November meeting. The city of Hedrick has begun looking at bids for the demolition of the structure on 307 Park Street, which has been abandoned for some time. With half their members not present, the council tabled decisions until January to get more opinions. Demolition would be paid by funds collected from the local sales option tax. A floor cleaning machine will be sold to the city and will be checked to see if it would need repairs. The machine would be used to clean the community center and civic center. At the request of Hedrick’s maintenance director, the council approved a new set of tires for a maintenance truck just before winter arrives. City Clerk Ann Spilman reported that the city took in $73,415.28 in revenue and spent $58,012.97 in the month of November.

By Hilda Souer Many of you have clippings that you keep while thinking you might use it some day. Yes, most of you readers already know it is something I’ve done for several years (and also lost or misplaced some!) The following is one of the clippings I saved and, of course, only part of it applies to me… you can decide if any applies to you (and have fun thinking about it!!) My forgetter’s getting better My forgetter’s getting better But my rememberer is broke To you that may seem funny But, to me, that is no joke. For when I’m here I’m wondering
If I really should be there And, when I try to think it through, I haven’t got a prayer! Oft times I walk into a room, Say “what am I here for?” I wrack my brain, but all in vain A zero, is my score. At times I put something away Where it is safe, but Gee! The person it is safest from Is, generally, me! When shopping I may see someone, Say Hi and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself, “Who that?” Yes, my forgetter’s getting better While my rememberer is broke, And it’s driving me plumb crazy And that isn’t any joke.
Tales of the Ancient Sportsman I really enjoyed the Lighted Christmas Parade in Sigourney. It was a great soup supper and so good to see all the children in line to see Santa. I especially enjoyed seeing the horses and wagons and all the happy riders. These were the events that I got to see. It was beautiful weather for Nov. 26. Dixie Shipley, Delta

By Burdell Hensley I am running on fumes today. We just returned from a five day tour to Nashville and it was so wonderful. The weather was great except for Saturday night when we went to the Grand Ole Opry. It was raining a light drizzle on us as we got off the bus and got into the line to go through security. But it was worth the discomfort. Our tickets were on the ground floor and about 15 rows back from the stage. One of my Country Music heroes, Whisperin’ Bill Anderson, was one of the MC’s and that made my day. We woke to rain on Sunday morning and drove in rain for most of the way home. Just north of Saint Louis, we began to notice some white stuff on the ground and as we entered Iowa, there was quite a bit of snow on the ground. By the time we got back to Newton where my vehicle was parked, I realized that I was not prepared for winter. I had no gloves and only a light jacket. My car was covered with snow and ice and I could only find a small scraper. Needless to say, it took a while to get on my way home. I finally arrived at home at a little after 10 and I was a dollar well spent. It was a long ride from Nashville to home, but what a fun time. We hosted this tour for Thunder Country Radio in Albia and KIIC De Jay, Beth Hunter, was the host for the station. What a neat group of fun loving Classic County Music fans joined us on the tour. It was wall-towall fun for the whole tour. We spent three nights in luxury at the Opryland Hotel and that place is like being lost in paradise. One evening we attend the Gatlin Brothers Christmas dinner and show with a great assortment of Christmas music and some of their hits. No Larry Gatlin show is complete without, “All the gold in California”. The second night we attended the musical, “How the Grinch stole Christmas” at the new Opry House.
Tales of the Ancient Sportsman By Burdell Hensley Columnist Our final night included the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman, often referred to as “Mother Church of Country Music”. As I sat there taking in the show it just seemed like Grandpa Jones was there playing the banjo, Minnie Pearl was on stage with Rod Brassfield, Stringbean was there and Roy Acuff was singing the “Wabash Cannonball”. Then I was taken back to my childhood before we had electricity. We would sit by lamplight and listen to the Opry on the battery radio. It became much better once we had electricity and then we rapidly moved into the TV age. Wow, what a time we have lived in. Other highlights of the tour included a morning in Paducah, KY and the National Quilt Museum as well as a stroll along the Paducah Flood Wall murals. What impressive murals and the quilts were stunning. After our time in Paducah, we went down to Patti’s 1880’s Settlement for lunch at Mr. Bill’s. Other Nashville venues that were special included; The Johnny Cash Museum, the Country Music Hall of Fame, Lunch at the Wild Horse Saloon and some even took in the line dancing at the Wild Horse. ICE was spectacular with ice carvings and lighting that was stunning. We also did a tour of the homes of the stars with Nashville singer, songwriter, and entertainer, Bobby Greene. Bobby goes back to days with Billy Cole at WHO and with Smokey Smith at KRNT Theatre. His tour was very enlightening and entertaining. We finished that tour with a stop at the American Pickers store in downtown Nashville.
While we were gone, there was a lot of heartache in our community. The tragedy at the Pella Walmart made the news everywhere. As the details unfolded, I learned that the driver of the pickup was one of my students in my first teaching job at Twin Cedars. He apparently had a heart attack and his truck went out of control. One of the ladies killed was a college friend of the Ancient-ess and I and she and her husband have traveled with us. One of our dear church friends was released from the prison of Alzheimer’s disease last week. Janice Gleason and her husband John have been good friends for nearly 60 years and the disease had just ravaged her. Another great loss to so many folks was the passing of Lois Williams of Eddyville. Lois was the pastor for many years at the little Wesleyan Church in Eddyville and at the Pleasant Corners church. Lois had a heart for people and she was so active in helping folks in need. She and her husband Wayne raised many foster kids in their home and she was just a pillar in the Eddyville community. While I was away, there were some outstanding basketball games played. The Pella Christian and Oskaloosa boys went to double overtime before Osky took the win. David Kacmaryinski had 32 points for the Eagles. The PC girls posted another win to go to 4-0. The Pella boys and Grinnell had an old fashioned shootout with Pella winning 96-94 and the Pella girls won handily. It is time to see what happened in our yesterdays. 45 years ago: Dec. 14, 1971- Fremont sweeps Hedrick. Dave Hibler rained in 40 points to lead the Cats to a 70-55 win. Debbie Paxton and Donna Fisher each scored 29 points to lead the Wildkittens to a 70-57 win. Dec. 14- Eddyville splits with Twin Cedars. 27 points by Barry Marshall the Sabers to a 66-52 win.
Dan Taylor led the Rockets with 18 points. The Eddyville girls used 51 points by Julie Johnson to post a 7254 win. Dec. 15- Dave DeYoung’s basket with two seconds left gave North Mahaska a 50-48 win over Montezuma. Tom Mitchell led the Warhawks with 20 points. Dec. 15- Sigourney belted Keota 83-57. Dan Arduser led the Savages with 22 points and Jack Kitzman and Jim Kahler each scored 18 points. Gary Richardson led Keota with 13 points. 25 years ago: Dec. 16, 1991- North Mahaska uses defense to top Colfax 56-37. Laird Dahm led the Warhawks with 12 points and Charlie Newport added nine. Dec. 16- Pella Christian sweeps Chariton. The boys rolled to an 85-32 win as Eric Pothoven poured in 25 points and Chad Dieleman added 17. The girls pulled away in the second half for a 57-37 win. Teresa Van Zee led the Eagles with 19 points. 15 years ago: Dec. 14, 2001- Osky used eight pins to destroy Fairfield 60-24. Getting pins for the Indians were; Kory Morrow, Owen Vore, Andy Bixley, Dominick Moyer, Aron Scott, Brandon Graham, Mike Foster and Ryan Bixler. Dec. 17English Valleys drops a cold shooting Tri-County team 66-46. Brianna Morrison led the Bears with 20 points. Christine Metz led T-C with 13 points. The T-C boys won a thriller 45-43. Cody Campbell led the Trojans with 13 points and Joey Koehn added nine. Well it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, so I guess I had better give in and get ready. My old bones just don’t enjoy winter like they used to. Ice fishing and hunting in the snow were such great activities, but not anymore. Give me a warm house and a 1000 piece puzzle and I will be ready to take on winter. Have a great week and don’t get run over by a reindeer.

Alert Iowa to be implemented in Keokuk County
By CJ Eilers News Editor As winter weather arrives in Keokuk County, so is a new alert system residents can sign up for to receive warnings in the case of emergencies. Alert Iowa is used by state and local authorities to quickly send out alerts during inclement weather. People can sign up to pick and choose the type of alerts they wish to receive-text messages, landline/wireless phone and email-from the county, city or nearby school districts. Alert Iowa can fit the needs for those who are hearing and visually impaired, have special medical equipment and those with a service animal.
Since being first introduced in October of 2014, 80 percent of the counties in Iowa have recommended the use of Alert Iowa. There is no cost to the county or residents as it is a state program, but text messages may be charged under certain phone carriers. You do not have to live in the county to receive alerts, and you can also register contact info for your family or spouse. Each address is limited to five phone number and two email address registrations. The information gathered by Alert Iowa is kept confidential under Iowa Law. It is recommend to receive text messages from Alert Iowa, as wireless networks get overwhelmed during emergencies and texts are faster, according
to Iowa Homeland Security. Voicemails can also be set up for alerts. While other counties have options to use social media alerts, Keokuk County will not due to it requiring 24/7 monitoring and posting. To sign up for Alert Iowa, go to http://entry.inspironlogistics.com/keokuk_ia/wens.cfm. Voice calls will originate from (641)-555-5555, text messages from 69310 and emails from noreply@keokukcountyemergencynotifications.com. If you are unable to receive text messages after signing up, contact Keokuk County Emergency Coordinator Larry Smith at lsmith5450@lisco.com or call (641)-622-2528 with your name, number, carrier and comments ready.

From elementary Cobra Bowling to junior high school
Casey Jarmes’ Van
Heap of the week
By Charles Witkowski This week’s “Heap of the Week” is Casey Jarmes’ 2007 Chrysler Town and Country van. He’s been driving it for a few years. The van is a hand-medown from his mother. He does not
have a name for it. Jarmes said, “What kind of weirdo names cars?” A funny story about the van is one time he was backing up and hit a dog house. Casey enjoys his van very much and says it works great for what he needs.
By Megan Stuhr, Makenna Hammes, and Paige Thompson We interviewed some 7th grade junior high students from Sigourney Senior High about how they felt the new change coming from elementary to junior high affected them. 1.

You get more freedom. -Cade Streigle You get more freedom. -Peyton Hammes 3. How are you liking the big step? Junior high is better than elementary. - Bo Schmit I like it because there is a lot more freedom. - Cade Molyneux 4. What is your favorite part? There is more study halls. -Cade Molyneux More freedom. -Raegan Rozenboom 5. Who’s your favorite teacher? Why? Crawford because he can be nice. -Cade Streigle Crawford because he helps me with sports and school.-Zack Smithart 6. What’s your favorite class? English because I like Ms. Mousel. -Ethan Shifflett
Rylee Goldman working in study hall. Geography because I think it’s fun. -Sammy Greiner 7. If junior high was a color which one would it be? Why? Blue because it feels right. -Bo Schmit Red because it’s my favorite color. -Zack Smithart 8. If junior high was a movie who would play your part? Will Ferrell, because he’s funny and I’m a funny person. -Peyton Hammes 9. Do you think there should be more junior high dances? I don’t care. -Sammy Greiner Yes, because they are fun and I get to dress up more. -Raegan Rozenboom 10. Are you ready for high school? Yes. -Ethan Shifflett Yes. -Peyton Hammes
By Will Magill Many people may not know, but the Sigourney-Keota Cobras have started a boys and girls bowling team relatively recently. Last year was the first year for the Cobra Bowling teams. Both teams have experienced significant growth for this coming season. Specifically, the boys team. Senior members for both teams will include Aaron Michel, Collin Svenby, Will Flanegin, Eric Meiners, and Autumn Clubb. Both teams have very high hopes for the coming season, and all of the bowlers are excited to get the season going. Success is something they have been working towards as bowling practices started in early November, and the teams will have almost a month of practices before their first tournament. You can catch their first tournament on December 7th, at Lebowski’s Bowling Alley in Washington, IA.
A&W
By Brooke Donald There will soon be an A&W in Sigourney. It will be located at the BP gas station. The BP kitchen will be transformed into the A&W kitchen. The BP kitchen won’t need very much work done to become A&W. BP has already remodeled their bathrooms and have put up a big orange sign. A&W is projected to open either late February or early March. The employees in the kitchen now will be transferred over as employees to A&W. We asked Mr. Bahlmann what his feelings were towards the opening of A&W. He said, “I’m very excited. I’m hoping that it will have root beer on tap.” We surveyed all of the Junior/Senior High School and 88% of students said they were excited about A&W opening and 91% plan on going there when it opens.
“Grease”
by Jade Aller The 2017 spring play will be “Grease.” The director, Kirk Magill begin his preparations by securing the licensing and the rights to the movie songs. Auditions have not taken place, but they were scheduled for December 3rd and the results should be posted soon. Magill plans to have students working on lines as soon as he can. Quite a few students have already
signed up for audition times, and several students revealed what parts they would like to try out for. Will Magill is trying out for Danny and Kenickie because he feels he could fill those roles perfectly. Khloe Snakenberg is trying out for Sandy and Marty because she likes the songs, and how they sing and act. Our final productions will be March 17-19, 2017. GREASE is the word!

Atwood, Makenna Hammes, Maddie Schwenke, Noel Garringe. Jeni Harter coaches them. Coach Harter had the following to say regarding her team’s performance Friday; “Practicing is rough. We are privileged to have a great group of girls, but in a small school, you have to share a great group of girls with other activities. It hard sometimes to find time to practice, but we make it work the best we can! We were very proud of the team›s performance in both Hip Hop and Pom when it came to competing at the State level!”

Luke Bombei, Tri-County
Zach Axmear, English Valleys
Luke Bombei had an excellent week for the Trojans as he helped his team start the season 1-2, but it was his overall abilities on top of his efficient scoring that helped garner him boys basketball Athlete of the week honors. Bombei scored 69 points in those three games averaging 23 points a game thus far. Bombei shot a magnificent 26 for 43 from the field, which is right around 60%. He also was six for ten from behind the arc. Bombei also added 17 rebounds, 11 steals and six assists during this past week, showing his wide range as a player and abilities on both sides of the ball. Bombei will look to keep the Trojans in many games this year with his excellent shooting and smart play as TC’s main ball-handler and scoring threat.
I know, I know Axmear is going to have a lot of big weeks this season, and of course we can’t go with him every week, so why choose Axmear in the opening week? Simple, he was a beast on the mat. Axmear finished the week unofficially 9-0 with victories over the number three-ranked wrestler in his class, Krakow, and the number four-ranked wrestler in 1A with his 7-2 decision victory over BGM’s Rogan Pforts. Axmear won at 160-lbs in the tournament held at Wapello this past Saturday and really showed all week why he is considered one of the best wrestlers in his class, and in the state. The future Hawkeye will look to continue his strong start and his big push for a stellar senior wrestling season.
The Savages are led this year by Junior Guard Autum Barthelman who has had a magnificient start to the 2016-2017 season averaging over 20 points a game. This week in particular she was extremely dynamic with her athletic play on both ends of the court. Barthelman had 26 points at Iowa Valley on Tuesday. She also had an astonishing ten steals and nine assists in the game. She was ten for 15 from the field. She followed that performance with 19 points, four rebounds, four assists and seven steals at Belle Plaine. She was six of 11 in this game, and was 16 for 26 on the week shooting which is almost 62%. Her 17 steals is an unheard of two-game total, and her 14 assists show her complete game. Barthelman has been an excellent leader for the Savages this season and looks to continue that trend moving forward this year.

Pekin has tough opening week of wrestling, but see bright future ahead this season Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor PEKIN- The Panthers wrestled in two events this week, the first on December 1 at Lynneville-Sully were they dropped all three duals to the host school, Montezuma and North Mahaska.

Kaden Baker finished second at 160-lbs, while Keaton Baayen took third at 170-lbs. “As far as the first week of competition went we feel good at where we are starting out especially in the conditioning department. We anticipated to look a little rusty on Thursday night and we was able to make some adjustments for Saturday’s tournament where we felt good on our overall performance. We are still vacant at some weights but should be returning two more into the lineup this week from previous injuries along with some weights seeing some different names with our weight decent plans falling in place. We will be feeding off of having two wrestlers in the finals on Saturday (Zach Hammes 1st at 132 and Kaden Baker 2nd at 160) to continue to gain momentum in the direction we are capable of.” Said head wrestling coach Al Chapman regarding his team’s start to the season. Pekin will look to build off of their success on Saturday and continue to get better.

EV goes 2-1 at SigourneyKeota meet Thursday, Dec. 1 Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor SIGOURNEY- EV had a better showing at the SK invite on Thursday, Dec. 1. They opened things up with a 60-20 loss to SK as they had to forfeit several matches, especially in the upper-weight divisions, but they did have a good showing from several wrestlers against SK. Seth Thompson defeated Cale Jarmes of SK 8-0 in a major decision at 120 lbs. Cooper Andreassen pinned Dayne Fisher in 0:32 at the 126 lb. class.

Andreassen followed suit taking only 32 seconds to take care of Ian Hawkins at 126 lbs. Axmear didn’t have an opponent to wrestle at 160 lbs. as BGM didn’t have a 160 pound wrestler, and Andrew Fisher and Caleb Peach both accumulated wins as well with pins at 170 and 183 lbs. respectively. EV is now 2-4 on the young wrestling season with several standout performers thus far.
EV wrestling opens with three losses at Mid-Prairie meet SK wrestlers have solid Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor WELLMAN- The Bears fell to a tough Mid-Prairie opponent when they hit the mats on Tuesday, Nov. 29. English Valleys lost 54-27, however they had a good showing by several wrestlers in this first matchup.

Seth Thompson won a 5-2 decision over Timothy Grephel, and Cooper Andreassen also won at 126 lbs. EV’s next opponent on the night was a good Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont squad, which the
Bears fell to 67-12. Axmear pinned EBF’s Dalton Griffiths in just over a minute. EV’s Caleb Peach wrestler decent but lost a 9-5 decision in a hard fought match against Ryan Henkle. Cooper Andreassen was the only other EV wrestler to score a victory as he pinned Dillon Howard in 1:48 at 126 lbs. The third team that the Bears faced on the day was Wapello, and they had a much better showing staying close until the end when they fell 36-33. Caleb Peach (182 lbs.), John Fisher (195), and Andrew Fisher (170) all won by forfeit in this one. The matchup of the entire event would have to be Zack Axmear facing off against Rogan Pforts of Wapello. Pforts and Axmear are two
of the top 160 lb. wrestlers in 1A as Pforts is ranked 4th and EV fans and others know all about Axmear, who will be attending the University of Iowa next season. Axmear won in a 7-2 decision. Andreassen pinned Mitchell Moore in 1:04 at 126 lbs. Wyatt Olson beat Blair Noble with a pin in 5:17 at 145 lbs. Despite going 0-3 on the night, the Bears saw a lot of good things from their leaders on the mat for sure. They also were able to breakin a few new wrestlers to varsity and should see improvements as a team throughout the season. The main take away is Axmear is as good as advertised, and EV is a tough draw for anyone they will face this season.
TC’s Clay Harper takes first at Monte Invitational Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor MONTEZUMA- The Trojans wrestled at Montezuma High School on Saturday, Dec. 3, and had a heck of a performance from their star varsity

McCammant was unable to defeat Zach VanDonelaar of Pella after having faced him on Thursday and being defeated by fall, he did the same in the quick re-match. Noah failed to place at the 220-lb class, but his technique is improving moving forward, as he will look to bounce back next week. TC will host their Tri-County Invitational on Saturday, Dec. 10 this week as Harper will look to take home another first place effort, and McCammant will look to improve his record and get a victory or two in the early part of this season.

Tri-County wrestling small in numbers, but Harper provides them with lift at Iowa Valley Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor THORNBURG- The Trojans wrestling campaign got off to a rough start on Thursday, Dec. 1 at Iowa Valley against the Tigers as well as Colfax-Mingo and Pella, but as TC’s two varsity wrestlers fought on through the duals, after both having suffered losses in their matches against Iowa Valley, they ended up having a pretty good night individually. TC of course cannot win any team matches this season because of their thin numbers, but they can make strides individually as the season rolls along. TC’s Noah McCammant lost to Jayson Krakow of IV as he was pinned in the first period of their 220-lb match. Clay Harper lost by
major decision to Garet Sims 11-0 in the 195 lb. weight class. Against Colfax-Mingo TC saw their first win of the season with Clay Harper defeating C-M’s Nick Barnes with a pin at 5:39 at the 195 class. Colton Lourens pinned Noah McCammant in their 220-lb bout.

TC overall was 2-4 between their two wrestlers, with Harper going 2-1 on the night. Harper looks to build off his success at Iowa Valley, while McCammant looks to get his first victory moving forward on Saturday.
but it is early in the year. I think the new guys ,freshman and foreign exchange student , did extremely well to start the year. The leadership of the older guys is a great addition this year with so many new wrestlers.” Other SK wrestlers who fared well on the day included Mason Dye who took third at 106-lbs. 132-lbs Nick Ives finished 5th, 113-lbs Cale Jarmes also 5th, Noah Reeves took third at 182-lbs. It was a very good day overall for SK and a great first week overall for this team moving forward. They will look forward to a trip to PCM on December 6, and look to continue their early season success in their duels out there.

AREA SPORTS: BOYS BASKETBALL Pekin boys win season-opener against Cardinal 50-33
TC’s Jacob Bombei looking for room against Moravia Monday Night.
Trojan boys start slow against Moravia, falling 48-64 Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor THORNBURG- The Tri-County Trojans boy’s basketball season tipped off on Monday, Nov. 28 at home against Moravia. The Trojans got off to a slow start, only scoring four points in the first quarter, and 12 in the first half, before lighting up the scoreboard in the second half to the tune of 36 points. Actually, they were only outscored by a single point in the second half, playing much better basketball than in the first half. Jacob Bombei led the Trojans with 24 points on eight of 14 shooting. Bombei also had eight rebounds, two assists and five steals. Walter McKay was the team’s second leading scorer with 14 points on seven of ten from the field. McKay also had six boards and an assist. Cameron Krumm was the only other Trojan to score in the game dropping ten points on four of six shooting. Krumm also had nine rebounds and a steal. The rest of the team was zero for eleven from the
field. Lane Williams did add four assists, however, to help contribute. TC has to find more scoring options moving forward to have success this season, and odds are they won’t have too many nights like tonight and they will have other scoring options. All in all, it wasn’t a terrible night for TC as they competed hard in the second half. They had just dug too deep a hole in the first half to overcome. For the first game of the season though it is very understandable to be cold out the gates, and they were able to overcome their poor shooting first half with a lights out performance in the second half. The main take-away is Bombei’s leadership on the court and how he can make his teammates around him so much better with his play. This team figures to be very competitive this season and will look to build off their opening performance with a better defensive and offensive effort moving forward. Tri-County 4 Moravia 14

EV boys fall at home to Iowa Valley Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor NORTH ENGLISH- The English Valleys Bears fell to Iowa Valley at home Friday, Dec. 2, 63-22. The 41-point margin of defeat is a second-straight tough pill to swallow for the Bears, as they figured to stay competitive in both of last week’s contests (TC & IV), but ultimately suffered lopsided defeats. IV was very efficient shooting over 50% from the field and over 30% from three. The Bears were able to stay close with solid defensive effort early on trailing only 11-5 after the first quarter, but IV then sent on a three quarter clinic offensively and were able to notch 60 points against EV’s defense.
“Had a great first week after pre-season, but really struggled Friday against a team we should have competed very closely against. A lot of our kids were in the gym Sunday night practicing, getting better. This is the mentality we will take into this next week as we continue to improve.” Head coach Caleb Lewis said regarding his EV boys basketball squad through one week of the regular season. Braydon Fischer led EV with nine points and two assists, but their inability to score consistently has been an early disappointment for the Bears. They will look to get out of their funk Tuesday, Dec. 6 at Sigourney before having to travel to Belle Plaine were a very good BP squad awaits. Iowa Valley 11 18 22 12 63 English Valleys 5 4 10 3 22

Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor PEKIN- The Pekin Panthers found themselves in a hard-fought game trailing Cardinal at the half 19-17, but they were able to surge past Cardinal in the second half shaking off the dust and cruising to a 17-point victory on Tuesday, Nov. 29 at Pekin High School. The Panthers had trouble shooting the ball early on, but they kept taking shots, and they eventually were able to pull away with timely second-half shooting. “I thought we started the game with a high intensity; the problem was one: we couldn’t hit a shot (lay-up, three or FT) to save our lives and two: we had three key defensive breakdowns that led to nine of Cardinals 19 first half points.” Said Pekin boys head basketball coach Ken Hutchinson regarding his team’s slow start to the game Tuesday night. Pekin was led in scoring by Ryan Millikin who had 19 points on the night on seven of 14 shooting. Millikin added four rebounds, one assist and five big steals. Junior Levi Long had 12 points, seven rebounds, an assist, two steals and two big blocks as he played tough defense for the Panthers. Sophomore Cameron
Millikin had six points to go with three boards and two steals. Caleb Comstock dropped six points, seven boards, three assists and four steals as he too played excellent defense on the night. Chase Eckley was the only other Panther to score on the night as he had five points to go with three rebounds and a steal. The Panthers shot 35% from the field including five of 25 from behind the arc (20%). The Panthers want to shoot the ball much better moving forward, but it was a good win nonetheless for the Pekin Panthers. Coach Hutchinson regarding his team’s performance and finish in this one; “However, since we are playing essentially 11 guys right now, you could tell to start the second half we looked fresh and Cardinal had nothing left in the tank. After being down two to start the half, we exploded with some key drives & fouls, and a couple timely 3’s, as well as much better defensive focus. That allowed us to pull away with a 50 to 33 win to start the season.” Pekin will try to build off this victory and use the experience learned from this game moving forward.

TC boys cruise past EV Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor THORNBURG- The Tri-County Trojans took it to the English Valleys Bears to the tune of 62-10 at Tri-County High School Tuesday, Nov. 29. The Trojans got out to an early lead, and the inexperienced Bears were unable to keep up, as TC shot over 50% from the field and controlled the boards. It was the second quarter before EV was able to get on the scoreboard as TC opened with a 22-0 first quarter lead. The Trojans led 42-7 at halftime, as the second half was a chance to really work the bench for TC and see what some of their younger players have to offer. EV was able to do more of the same, as they will look to mix things up moving forward with their young lineup. Tri-County was led once again in scoring by Jacob Bombei who had 21 points on an impressive eight for 13 shooting from the field. Bombei also had three rebounds, three assists and three steals in the game. Cameron Krumm was seven of eight shooting, scoring 18 points. Krumm also snatched ten rebounds, an assist, and four steals. Lane Williams knocked down four three-pointers to add 12 points for TC. He also grabbed six boards, three assists and a steal. Walter McKay had four points, seven rebounds, an assist and two steals. Cory Hughes got into the action with three points and four assists. EV had their issues on both sides of the ball and will look to re-group moving forward. They are hoping
EV’s Chad Owens with the hook shot (Photo by Amie Van Patten). that when these two teams meet later this season that they can have a better showing the next time around.

Trojan boys fall to Keota at home Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor THORNBURG- Tri-County ran into a buzz saw in the Keota Eagles on Friday, Dec. 2 at Tri-County High School. Keota’s high-powered offense put it on TC in the first quarter and drummed up a 20-point lead by the end of the quarter. TC played a tough second quarter–being outscored 20-17–but came out flat after the half being outscored 24-9 in the third. The fourth quarter TC once again played within three points of Keota, but by the final horn TC fell by 41 points 85-44. The take away from this game for TC would have to be sustaining good offensive and defensive play each and every quarter. They played Keota very tough in quarters two and four, only being outscored by a combined six points, but they were outscored by 35 points in the first and third quarters. Turnovers and poor shooting were also factors that helped make this game the run-away victory that it was for Keota. TC was 18 for 50 from the field, which is about 36%, and they were three of 15 from three-point. TC was also out-rebounded fairly
substantially in this one helping lead to the final score. However, Jacob Bombei had another very productive game scoring 24 points on ten of 16 from the field. Bombei also had six rebounds and three steals to go with an assist. Junior Dylan Seaton was terrific off the bench for TC dropping ten points on four of eight shooting. Seaton added four boards as well for TC. The team’s other ten points were split between three players, with the rest of the team shooting a very low percentage. TC will need Krumm and McKay to pick up the production offensively as well as Lane Williams if they are going to experience success as a team this season. When they play smart and together, they are a very formidable squad. This was a very good Keota team that TC ran into early in this young basketball season, and this is a game that a lot of lessons can be learned and experience is gained. TC looks to bounce back this week with games at home against Belle Plaine on Dec. 6, and at Iowa Valley on Friday, Dec. 9. Tri-County 6 17 9 Keota 26 20 24

Savages open boys season with big win over Iowa Valley Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor MARENGO- Sigourney was able to gut out a hard-fought 43-34 victory against Iowa Valley on Tuesday, Nov. 29. This was the perfect start for this young team as they came out of the gate with smothering defense holding IV to only nine first half points. Sigourney outscored the Tigers 13-5 in the opening quarter, and led 17-9 at the half. Sigourney played much better offensively in the second half with 26 points to IV’s 25. “We didn’t play great, but played pretty good D, and made some big free throws late to get the win.” Said head coach Mitch Eslick about his team Tuesday night. Sigourney was 14 of 45 from the field, a percentage that they undoubtedly wish to see much higher, but they were nine of 12 from the free throw line as a team, including some big free throws late the coach alluded to. Sophomore guard Dustin Haines was very good in the game scoring ten points, but also adding seven rebounds, three assists and four steals. Haines stuffed the stat sheet with his terrific play. Will Magill led the Savages in scoring with 14 points on five of nine shooting. W. Magill added four
rebounds, two assists and a steal. Kyle Weber also had a huge impact on the game as he scored 12 points on four of seven shooting, including four of five from the line. Weber corralled seven boards, including four on the offensive glass and a block. Other contributors were freshman Dawson Baumert who had three points and four boards, Brett Striegel with two points and two boards, Spencer Magill with seven rebounds and three steals, and Brady Powers who had two points, six boards, two assists and two steals. Sigourney would love to see better shooting, as well as more points from their bench and role players, but this was a very good first win of the season for the Savages. They sit at 1-0 both in league play and overall. As they gain experience this season, wins like this are going to be vital for building these youngsters confidence. Need to see them find a way to find points beyond the three scorers in double-digits on Tuesday, and moving forward Sigourney looks to stay competitive each and every night.

Sigourney boys fall at Belle Plaine Friday 77-50 Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor BELLE PLAINE- The Savages played the Plainsmen pretty tough for about three quarters of the game, but ultimately Belle Plaine was able to run away with a 77-50 victory on Friday, Dec. 2 at Belle Plaine High School. It was a 45-32 BP lead at the half and for much of the third quarter Sigourney hovered around a ten to twelve point deficit, playing a solid BP team very tough, before opening a 23 point lead after three quarters. Dustin Haines knocked down five three’s scoring 15 points in the game to lead the Savages. Will Magill had 11 marking a second straight double-digit scoring performance from the team’s lone se-
nior. Kyle Weber had eight points to go with nine rebounds. Head coach Mitch Eslick regarding his team’s performance on Friday night, “We made to many mistakes (28 turnovers and gave up 22 offensive rebounds) to beat a team as good as Belle Plaine is. Dustin Haines played well. Thought we played really hard, we just need to keep improving as a team.” Those are two key factors to the game moving forward that Sigourney will need to see steady improvement in as this young group of kids’ gains more and more experience at the varsity level. Sigourney is now 1-1 on the season and in conference play. Belle Plaine Sigourney

Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor MARENGO- 22 steals, as a team, that is what Sigourney accomplished on Tuesday, Nov. 29 against Iowa Valley. That stat line alone will win you basketball games. Sigourney’s Autum Barthelman had ten of those team steals as she fell one assist shy of a triple-double posting 26 points, nine assists and ten steals. Barthelman shot ten of 15 from the field. Brooke Waechter and Anna Ohland added 13 points apiece, as Ohland added four rebounds and two assists, and Waechter five assists and two steals. Sigourney had 23 assists as a team on 28 made field goals, another impressive stat line. Summer Barthelman added six points, two
boards, five steals and four assists. Sloane Magill added six points, an assist and two steals. Leah Carter contributed four points and led the team with seven rebounds; Carter also had an assist and a steal. Sigourney goes to 2-0 on the season and 1-0 in conference play. They continue to score points in bunches and have really been a major threat defensively early on. We will see if they can keep up that tenacious defensive play as they get into more and more difficult games this year. This was a very tough, but also very young, Iowa Valley squad, and Sigourney will play much more experienced teams moving forward. Sigourney 14 19 19 15 67 Iowa Valley 9 18 11 16 54
Sigourney girls soar to 3-0 start with big road win at Belle Plaine 49-36 Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor BELLE PLAINE- The Savages were once again very strong on defense and efficient enough offensively to get a 13-point victory over Belle Plaine on Friday, Dec. 2. Sigourney was led in scoring once again by Autum Barthelman who had 19 points on six of 11 shooting from the field. Autum added four rebounds, four assists and seven steals, as she continues to be a stat-sheet-stuffer night in and night out. Leah Carter was also in double digits scoring ten points on five of 11 from the field. Carter added four rebounds and an assist. Anna Ohland had seven points, two impressive shot blocks and
six rebounds in the game. Brooke Waechter added five points, four rebounds, three assists, four steals and a blocked shot as well. Sigourney came out with smothering defense-holding BP to single-digit scoring in three quarters on the night. They built a 12-7 first quarter lead and extended that to a 28-12 halftime lead. Sigourney was actually outscored in the second half 21-24, but they had built a big enough gap between themselves and BP that it didn’t affect the outcome whatsoever. Coach Zach Tremmel was very happy about his team’s performance stating; “We came out and played the best half of basketball we had played all year, we won the game in the first half. Our defense
again set the tone; Leah Carter and Sloane Magill did a great job defensively on their top player.” The Savages improve to 3-0 and 2-0 in conference play. They saw all five starters score in this game as Summer Barthelman added four points and a couple assists. Once again they had double-digit steals forced against their opponent, having 12 Friday night. The Savages will be back in action Tuesday, Dec. 6 at home against English Valleys, and will travel to Keota on Friday, Dec. 9. They hope to extend their record to 5-0 before a tough three game home stretch against Washington, Tri-County and Montezuma. Sigourney 12 16 14 7 49 Belle Plaine 7 5 15 9 36

EV girls lose home game against Iowa Valley Friday evening 51-44 Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor NORTH ENGLISH- The Bears lost a tough game against the Tigers of Iowa Valley on Friday, Dec. 2.

They then went on a bit of a run in the fourth, but their valiant effort fell short. The Bears lost 51-44 at home, and now are 1-2 on the young season. Audrey Grove, Sydney Olson, Emily Westhoff and others all made big contributions for the Bears, but not enough to climb past the Tigers in this one.
