“THE OLDEST BUSINESS SERVING KEOTA AND COMMUNITY FIRST - SINCE 1875”

Farmers Savings Bank Hits Milestone

Pictured above is where the bank stands today at 225 E. Broadway Avenue in Keota. Photo by Tomisha Sprouse, KE Editor.

The year was 1893, the date was May 26, when The Keota Eagle first wrote about “Jones the contractor” and his “bevy of workers” that began work on the original Farmers Savings Bank building. The actual building of the bank was done swiftly and it seemed during the construction not a day went by that there wasn’t a crowd of onlookers as the workers “worked like beavers” and there was “no loafing allowed”. Of course the spectators were described like “clustering flies around a sugar treat”. Once construction was completed there were thirty original stockholders and the bank staffed two people. At the end of only one year, the bank had a total of 42 customers.

By 1901 business had taken off and a new typewriter was purchased in hopes that someone would be able to figure out how to work it. In July of 1904, the bank was remodeled to make more room for customers and employees. J.W. Helscher’s first day at the bank was in 1907 and he spent the day clerking a farm sale.

Farmers Savings Bank thrived up to 1933 when everyone felt the hit of ‘The Great Depression’ era. The bank reorganized under Senate File III of the 45th General Assembly. An agreement by the depositors to accept 50% of their deposits was a hard pill to swallow for many, but the depositors stuck with the bank and over a course of six or seven years, 92% was paid back, not just 50%. Farmers Savings Bank stood tall and kept their doors open, while many other banks at this time did not fare so well and closed their doors.

Between 1934 to 1937, improvements were made at the bank.

A modern bookkeeping machine was installed, which worked a great deal better than the old hand-cranked method. Also, a part-time employee was hired to help run errands and clean up when needed - those that knew him would call him “JohnnyBob” and by 1942 he was hired full-time. J.R. Helscher’s first days were spent clerking farm sales just like his father J.W. Around 1958, Security State Bank in Keota started suggesting to customers that they transfer accounts to Farmers Savings Bank.

Tom Mills (cashier at Security State Bank) spent countless hours trying to convince Security State customers to move their accounts.

In 1959, Farmers Savings Bank purchased Security State Bank.

August 1, 1966, was a dark day for Farmers Savings Bank. At around 9:40 a.m. a man walked into the bank and pointed a gun at Bill Henderson, a cashier at the time, demanding money. The ‘lone bandit’ made off with $6,000.

When the Sheriff arrived, Bill was able to give a description of a gun that was at ‘least three feet long and had a muzzle that was around three inches in diameter’. The Sheriff processed the information and then declared, “By golly, I know who that is!” Though he never returned to Keota for trial, the armed man was convicted in

This week’s color in The Keota Eagle is brought to you by

Minnesota for other crimes.

Farmers Savings Bank had a milestone in 1968 when construction started on a new building.

J.R.’s comment about moving to a new building, “well, we just outgrew the old one.” Once the building was finished the transition from the old to the new began. Only in Keota, Iowa, could safe and lock boxes be moved down Broadway Avenue in the middle of the day with no worries.

Unfortunately the town of Keota was hit with 10 inches of rain and the basement at the new facility flooded. Stacks of boxes and old records were wet. Everything was cleaned up and the bank was in order for its dedication which took place on October 11, 1970.

The time sign was put into place around the same time in front of the bank to be designated as the “C.A. McCampbell Memorial Clock.” The Memorial Clock was named after Mr. Charles A. McCampbell, bank director for 42 years, who left the bank money to be used for a clock that would benefit the whole community.

In 1971, J.R. Helscher became the new president of Farmers Savings Bank and by 1973 the bank was completely computerized “once they figure out how the computers work”.

An ‘Open House’ was held in 1983 to celebrate the banks 90th anniversary and J.R.’s 50th anniversary with the bank.

By the 1990(s), Farmers Savings Bank introduced debit cards to be used for point of sale purchases and at ATM machines. In 1993 as the bank prepared to celebrate it’s 100th year anniversary, J.R. Helscher passed on. The Helscher legacy continued on as Charles Helscher became president of Farmers Savings Bank the same year.

Growth continued and once again the bank outgrew it’s quarters. The barbershop that was located just west of the bank was purchased in 2000. It was then demolished and a new addition was constructed, resulting in the current facility. “None of the growth would have been possible without the continued support of the community and surrounding area,” commented Charles Helscher.

McDowell Memorial Sign at Lagos Acres

Driving down the Keokuk-Washington Road, a new sign is visible at Lagos Acres Golf and Country Club. The new sign is in memory of Bob McDowell, one of the original board members in 1963 and was built by Michael McNurlen. The golf clubs within the sign are unique because they were formerly owned by Bob himself.

“The golf course and the memories and friendships revolving around dad meant a great deal to him and I think it is a fitting memorial that he would be very pleased with it,” commented Bob’s daughter Gina Bennett.

valuable. I have done so many things, that not everyone would have them done during whole life. It sounds incredible, but it is true.

I have learned a lot during the school lessons and activities. Everything has been very fun! I appreciate that Keota High School students, teachers, and coaches have been around me and helped all the time!

It has been a big pleasure to get to know Keota and the community members. I will miss going to watch games, pleasant silence of the town, and all stuff I got to do here. Iowa has become a second home for me. Hopefully, I will come and visit Keota again sometime in the future. I want it to happen very much!

Less than 1 week I am going back home. I start studying at the university in Kyrgyzstan this fall. When I come home mostly everything is going to be the same, but my view of things will change. A year in the United States has made me a better person. I will keep good memories about America in my mind and take them to Kyrgyzstan.

How glad I am that my life has changed dramatically with the arrival in the United States! I have made friendship with people who I had not known before!

It is awesome!

I appreciate everyone I know for understanding, being friendly, nice and supportive! I wish Keota prosperity, well-being, and many blessings!

Jibek left on Tuesday, June 11 to go back to Kyrgyzstan.

Jibek Says Farewell to the U.S.

By Jibek Turgunbekova When I came to America, a new life started for me. Another country, another community, the host families, and the host school. I am very grateful to my two host families who have become the closest people during this year. They are Larry and Tanna Huber, and Rod, Julie, Grant, and Megan Hill. I appreciate your care, support, and all the best you have done for me. I will keep the warmest memories about you. I admire your openness, and am happy to be a part of the families.

I want to express gratitude to the administration of Keota High School for kind welcome and giving me an opportunity to try a lot of new things.

During the year I have participated in extracurricular activities, such as volleyball, Eagle Rock!, speech, Spring Musical, track, and FFA. All of those have been exciting, and have made my American experience really

Supervisors Approve 20 Year Commitment to Belva Deer Trail

By Mendy McAdams, Freemont-What Cheer Vine

Keokuk County Engineer Andy McGuire explained the State Recreation Grant application. In order to apply, the Supervisors must approve a resolution stating a 20 year commitment to maintenance and continuation of the trail. The project will be broken into two parts. The first will fix the erosion problems and the second will pave the trail. Supervisor Michael Hadley spoke with Keokuk County Conservationist Dave Long on the phone. The Supervisors were trying to confirm that the Conservation Board will take over the trail after it is all corrected. Long explained that he will bring the matter before the board later in the week and contact McGuire with their answer. The Supervisors approved the resolution at their Monday, June 10 meeting stating that “the project will be a cooperative effort.”

McGuire presented a quote for rehabilitation of bridge #633608 that was discussed last week. The bid of $59,153 by Iowa Bridge and Culvert was approved.

The quarterly interfund transfer of $296,025 from rural services and $21,850 from general basic were approved. The total of $317,875 was moved to secondary roads.

The updated articles of agreement from Area 15 Regional Planning Commission were approved. All counties must have their Supervisors approve the new agreement.

Sharpening Skills Not Just for the Big Kids Honing those basketball skills isn’t limited to high school student athletes, because area elementary aged athletes jumped on the chance for some training in the summer, too. Sigourney High School coaches Andy Harter and Mitch Eslick collaborated for a K-6th grade boys and girls basketball skills camp the last week in May 2013. Roughly 90 athletes from Sigourney, Keota and Pekin worked with Sigourney High School basketball players and the coaching staff on developing and strengthening the basic skills needed for a sound basketball player.

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor

After Monday’s 10-0 loss to Sigourney, the Tri-County softball team responded like winners.

The Trojans took care of business three times at home, beating HLV, 4-3; Twin Cedars, 8-5; and Montezuma, 4-3.

Tuesday’s game against HLV was a nine-inning thriller that saw HLV score two in the seventh to send the game to extras, only to have the Trojans win it with a run in the bottom of the ninth.

Sara Gragg threw all nine innings and allowed just five hits, two walks and an earned run.

At the plate, Gragg went two-for-five and scored two runs, including the gamewinner. Jennifer Leer had a team-high three hits, including Tri-County’s only double.

HLV took an early 1-0 lead after the first, but the Trojans gained the lead with three runs in the third and won it in the ninth.

A non-conference game with Twin Cedars on Thursday was nearly as dramatic as the win against HLV. With the game tied at five midway through the sixth, Tri-County pounced on Twin Cedars by scoring three in the bottom half and holding on in the seventh to win, 8-5.

Katlyn Little got the win in relief by throwing two innings and allowing a single hit.

Gragg started the game and threw five innings, allowing eight hits and three earned

To say that Brandon Stuhr threw the ball well against TriCounty wouldn’t do his performance justice.

The lanky senior tossed a complete game four hitter in Sigourney’s 3-2 win over the Trojans on Monday. Not only did Stuhr surrender just four hits, he struck out 12 and walked just two; 77 of his 119 pitches were strikes. Stuhr also drove in Peyton Crawford with a hit in the second inning that tied the game at one.

Trailing 2-1 in the fifth, Sigourney’s Colby Kerkove came up with a big hit to tie the game at two. The Savages then took the lead for good when TC starter Jake Brumbaugh threw a wild pitch that scored a run.

Colton Schwenke, Cole Streigle, Stuhr and Kerkove accounted for Sigourney’s four hits of the night. The Savages also took five walks and stole six bases against the Trojans.

Wednesday at Montezuma, Jackson Davis held the Braves scoreless for six innings, but two runs in the bottom of the seventh won the game for

Montezuma, 2-1.

Defensive miscues by the Savages helped Zach Gibson and the Braves notch the win. Gibson threw a complete game, striking out 11 and giving up four hits.

The Savages scored their lone run in the top of the fifth.

Montezuma sits at 8-2 overall after games on Saturday.

North Mahaska came into Sigourney on Friday with some smoking hot bats, and they left with them still burning.

Sigourney got up 7-3 early on, but the Warhawks scored three runs in the third, two in the fourth, and three in the fifth on their way to the 12-7 win.

North Mahaska ended the night with 11 hits, including a homerun by Trent Roose.

Now at 2-5 on the year, the Savages played at BGM on Monday and then at Keota on Wednesday. EV comes to town on Friday and the Savages host a four-team tournament on Saturday that kicks off with Sigourney playing Iowa Christian Academy.

runs. Little and Laura Steinke each had two hits and two RBIs, while Jessie Maxwell had two runs and two hits, including a double.

Katlyn Little stole the show on Friday against Montezuma.

Not only did the eighth grader pitch like a senior, she also hit two doubles. Little went two-for-three at the plate, walked, and scored a run.

On the mound, Little gave up only four hits, while striking out seven in Tri-County’s 4-3 win.

The Trojans scored two in the bottom of the first and scored two more in the fifth on some defensive mishaps by the Braves.

Sara Gragg and Laura Steinke each went two-forthree, with Steinke hitting a triple and driving in two runs.

Montezuma scored a run in the ninth but were halted by Little, giving the win to the Trojans.

Now at 5-6 on the year, TriCounty had a double-header at EV on Monday, and another on Wednesday at home against Iowa Valley. The Trojans end their week against Keota on Friday in Thornburg.

It took longer than the EV softball team would’ve liked, but the Bears got their first win of the year last week on Friday against Keota.

In the slugfest that had EV leading 10-1 after four innings, the Bears held on just enough to celebrate with the 10-9 win.

A huge performance by the middle of the EV batting order helped put six runs on the board in the third. EV’s threefour-five-six hitters (Rylee Voss, Rachel Koehn, Allision Hewett, Shannon Steffen) combined for ten hits and seven runs. Steffen and Voss each pounded out three hits against the Eagles.

As a team, EV tallied 13 hits, with Lexi Moore, Sam Banes

and Sadie Westfall adding one apiece.

Keota scored six runs off starter Rachel Koehn in the fifth, two in the sixth, and one more in the third, to cut EV’s lead to one after trailing by as many as nine earlier in the night. But Koehn and the Bears got out of it in the seventh to clinch the win.

The senior threw seven innings and allowed eight hits while striking out five.

On Wednesday, the Bears hosted Iowa Valley and almost ended their winless drought then. EV got out to a quick 2-1 lead after a clutch two-run double by Sam Banes. Bane’s two hits and a gritty effort by Rachel Koehn weren’t enough though, as the Tigers scored

twice in the third and once in the fourth to take the win, 4-2.

Koehn and Shannon Steffen accounted for the only others hits for the Bears, as EV’s team total for the night was four.

Koehn threw all seven innings and allowed seven hits while striking out five.

Against Lynnville-Sully on Monday, the Bears were held hitless and fell to the Hawks, 15-0. As of Saturday, LynnvilleSully held a 14-2 record.

EV also had a non-conference matchup on Tuesday against West Branch. EV scored all four of its runs in the third from RBI hits by Sadie Westfall and Rylee Voss, but West Branch was simply too much, as EV fell 14-4.

EV had a varsity doubleheader on Monday in North English against Keota, and then hosts BGM in another doubleheader on Wednesday. EV then travels to Sigourney on Friday, the 14th.

With four games on the slate in five days last week, the TriCounty ball club had plenty of chances to end its small skid and get back in the win column.

The Trojans’ first chance came at Sigourney on Monday with Jake Brumbaugh on the mound.

The sophomore gave up just four hits, but also walked five batters in six innings of work. Although Brumbaugh struck out eight, two big runs in the fifth on a Colby Kerkove base hit and a

wild pitch gave Sigourney a 3-2 lead that it wouldn’t lose.

Other than a pair of doubles by junior Zach Kitzman, the TriCounty offense just wasn’t able to get much going. The Trojans could only manage four hits off Sigourney starter Brandon Stuhr, with Josh Edmundson and Mason Garber each recording singles along with Kitzman’s two doubles.

The Trojans’ offense was far more effective the next night against HLV. Six hits, including three by leadoff man Austin Blythe, nine drawn walks, and 12 stolen bases, helped the Trojans score ten runs on Tuesday.

Nick Watts shut down HLV in the sixth and seventh to clinch the 10-4 win for Tri-County.

Watts struck out five-of-six batters and didn’t allow a hit in relief of starter Tyler Lally. Lally gave up six hits and three earned runs in five innings of work.

The Trojans trailed 4-3 heading into the bottom of the fifth, but proceeded to score seven runs in the fifth.

Kitzman, Lally and Trenton Steinke each scored two runs, while Watts went two-for-four with a double and two RBIs. On Thursday the Trojans hosted fourth-ranked Twin Cedars (Iowa Sports Spotlight) and fell, 13-2.

Nick Watts went three-forthree on the night and Tyler Lally jacked a solo homerun, but the big bats of Twin Cedars proved too much.

Jake Brumbaugh also had a good day at the plate, going twofor-two with a walk.

Montezuma came to town on Friday and shut down the Tri-County offense via Tyler Swenson. Swenson gave up only five TC hits, while striking out ten and walking none.

Although Brumbaugh and Lally allowed just seven hits between the two of them, the Trojans could only muster a handful of hits, three of which came from Lally. Chase Sellers and Brumbaugh added a hit apiece, but the Braves tacked on two runs in the seventh to bump their lead to 5-0 and get the win.

Tri-County is now 4-6 overall. The Trojans played at EV on Monday and then host Iowa Valley on Wednesday. The Trojans end their week at Keota on Friday.

Three conference games and three more games at the Eddyville tournament ended with the Sigourney softball team notching four wins last week.

The week began with Sigourney hosting Tri-County on Monday. The Savages used a six-run second inning to gain every ounce of momentum and run away with a 10-0 win.

Jordan Carter’s performance on the mound and at the plate was key to the Sigourney win. Carter threw five scoreless innings and allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out nine. With the bat, Carter went three-forthree and scored two runs.

Becca Ohland, Maddi Denny, Karah Appleget and Brooke Schroeder each finished the night with two hits, while Sydney Davis added one as well. Denny drove in a teamhigh five runs against the Trojans.

On Wednesday the team traveled to Montezuma and utilized another quick offensive explosion to take down the Braves, 11-0.

Five runs in the second and four in the third powered the Savages ahead. Brooke Schroeder had the biggest day of any Savage on Wednesday, going three-for-four with a pair of doubles and three runs scored. Ohland, Denny, and Emily Danowsky each added two hits.

As important as the Sigourney offense was against Montezuma, the story of the night was the dominance of Jordan Carter. In six innings of work, Carter held the Braves hitless, while striking out six and walking just one.

Friday’s matchup with North Mahaska offered a much tighter game than Sigourney’s previous two, however, the early offense by the Savages yet again, got the job done and helped Sigourney hold off the Warhawks.

After already leading 2-0 after the second, Bri Schauf provided some fireworks with a three-run bomb in the third, putting Sigourney ahead 5-0.

North Mahaska’s bat kept the Warhawks right in it though.

The Warhawks climbed back with two runs in the fourth, one in the fifth, and two more in the second to bring them within one. As a team, North Mahaska collected 11 hits off of Jordan Carter, with only three of their five runs being earned. However, Carter and the Savages stop the bleeding and held on to their slim lead in the seventh to win, 6-5.

Becca Ohland was the lone Savage to have multiple hits, as the junior went two-forthree with a run.

Sigourney headed to Eddyville on Saturday and were dealt losses to PCM (7-1) and Centerville (9-3), but defeated Montezuma for the second time in the week, 7-1.

The Savages played at BGM on Monday and then hosted Lynnville-Sully on Tuesday, the 11th. Keota comes to town on Wednesday and English Valleys does the same on Friday. The Savages head to Washington for a tournament on Saturday, June 15.

Sigourney now sits at 7-2 overall.

Dan Hammes Comes Back to Give Back

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor

Whether it seems like it to you or not, every single person you spent significant time with growing up has played a major role in what you will/have become.

2003 Sigourney High School graduate, Dan Hammes, has become the assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of Iowa.

On the way to becoming a critical piece of a Big Ten Conference athletics program, Hammes learned the values, ethics, and mentality it takes to do a job of this caliber and to do it well.

Before studying, playing running back, and coaching at Wartburg, Hammes built a foundation of hard work at his core at Sigourney High School, and it was constructed by his teachers and coaches.

“For me personally, Coach Bob Howard first and foremost brought me into what working hard was – aside from my parents,” said Hammes, a 2007 Wartburg graduate. “Coach Jarmes, Coach Kirby, Coach Burt, Coach Crawford – those individuals taught me what working hard was and what dedication and commitment to a team meant. They taught me what a team was and how it’s not about you, individually. From an academic standpoint, now more than anytime, I appreciate what they did and how big of a pain I probably was. I’d like to tell them sorry and thank you at the same time.”

Hammes returned to his Sigourney roots recently and spoke to coaches, parents and student athletes about molding Sigourney and Sigourney/Keota athletics into something better. Hammes’s message wasn’t necessarily about getting stronger and faster, but more so about building and maintaining athletes and athletic programs built around the notion of a ‘team,’ while getting coaches, parents and athletes alike on the same page sharing the same vision.

“My main motivation to coming back and talking is to try and keep Sigourney athletics at a high level, because it creates excitement within the community,” Hammes said. “It keeps the community going. High school athletics and community thrive with one another, and to have the opportunity to be involved in that and give insight in a career path that I was fortunate to follow; I’m happy to shed light in those areas when I can. You’re not just creating a better athlete; you’re creating better character in each son or daughter in the community. It goes a long way.”

According to Hammes, it isn’t just about lifting more weights and running more drills; it’s about balancing out and staying consistent with everything from academics, nutrition and teamwork, along with avoiding actions detrimental to the program and team and doing everything with a purpose behind it.

“It’s not about doing more, more, more, more, all the time,” continued Hammes. “There has to be a purpose or a goal and there has to be a process to get to that.

Anyone can work hard, but you have to work hard for a purpose and have a process while working hard. Doing more, more, more, more – I would agree that that’s hard work, but what specifically did you accomplish? It needs purpose.”

At the University of Iowa, Hammes assists in the strength and conditioning of men’s and women’s basketball, track and field, cross country, along with volleyball, baseball and softball. Before getting hired at Iowa, Hammes received his Masters degree in exercise physiology from UNI in 2010 then worked on the North Dakota State staff, whose football team won back-to-back FCS National Championships in 2011 and 2012.

Hammes loves his job and his office inside CarverHawkeye Arena, but there’s something higher up on the ladder that he’s striving for.

“My dream job is to be the director of a major university’s athletic program,” Hammes said. “That’s my ultimate goal.”

No matter where Dan Hammes winds up at the end of his professional career, he’ll always be able to reminisce during his slow days on his time at Sigourney that included a wealth of wrestling success and 2001 State Football Championship.

“This gym tonight brought back some memories. I never thought I’d be facing a crowd speaking, though,” Hammes said. “There are so many memories from this gym. This is where we had our State Wrestling medal presentation, prom, graduation. There are a lot of separate memories, but most of them tie back to this Sigourney gym.”

The Pekin baseball club started last week’s busy schedule on the right foot, beating Highland, Riverside, 4-2.

The complete game effort by starting pitcher Petie Clubb was just what the Panthers needed. Clubb relinquished just two hits, two walks and two runs to Highland in the low-scoring ballgame.

The Panthers jumped out to a 2-0 lead after three innings and 3-0 after four. Highland battled back with a pair of runs in the fifth, but the Panthers tacked on another run in the sixth and Clubb got out of a jam in the bottom half to propel his team to victory.

After the win on Monday, the Panthers were dealt a brutal stretch of opponents that included Louisa-Muscatine, Cardinal and Mediapolis.

Pekin fell in all three games that started with a 13-3 loss to Louisa-Muscatine. L-M scored nine runs in the first inning to seize control. A two-run double by Graham Wittrock in the

fifth cut the deficit to 12-3, but that was the last of the scoring Pekin would produce.

A double by Cole Reighard was the only other hit the Panthers mustered against starter Austin Bohling. The Panthers got a solid relief outing from Kirk Tally, going five and two-thirds innings and allowing four runs.

Pekin’s offensive struggles continued on Thursday against Cardinal. Starter Brennon Elder allowed only two hits in his complete game effort, helping Cardinal win, 5-0.

Kolby Allsup and Nazereth Rambo each singled for the Panthers, who trailed by only two heading into the seventh.

The Panthers ended their week with a 14-3 loss to Mediapolis. Pekin led 3-0 heading into the fifth, but Mediapolis went off for seven in the fifth and six more in the seventh to storm away.

The Panthers played at Lone Tree on Tuesday and then host Columbus on Thursday, before hosting Wapello on Friday.

Twice last week the English Valleys baseball team won games away from home, while losing its only road game.

The Bears made the long trip to Sully on Monday and held off a late surge by the Hawks to get the win, 7-6.

Lynnville-Sully scored four runs in the sixth and another in the seventh to cut EV’s lead to one run, but Wes Warick managed to shut down the Hawks late and get the save.

Warick threw one and one-third innings in relief, while Adam Kerkove tossed five and two-thirds innings of four hit baseball.

Four runs in the third followed by two in the fourth gave the Bears a 6-1 lead.

EV pushed the lead to 7-1 after six and a half, before Lynnville-Sully started its comeback.

A quartet of Bears ended their nights with two hits apiece: Andrew Kerkove, Wes Warick, Syd George and Tanner Icenbice.

Kerkove and Warick each doubled once and combined for five RBIs. Adam Kerkove went one-for-three with a walk and two runs.

An RBI-single by Brennen Grimm was the only offense the Bears could produce on Wednesday against Iowa Valley’s Logan Loftus.

On the mound, Grimm was strong for five innings, until things unraveled in the sixth.

A combination of control problems, defensive mistakes, and timely hitting led to five Iowa Valley runs in the sixth

Four games in five days for the Pekin softball team resulted in two wins that pushed the Panthers’ record to 5-4 on the year.

Highland-Riverside’s Katie Springer shut down the Panthers on Monday, allowing only three hits and a walk in Highland’s 11-1 win at Pekin. Cheyann Lankford, Leslie Stone and Maleaha Earnest each nabbed hits for the Panthers, but that simply wasn’t enough, as Highland scored four runs in both the first and fourth innings and finished off Pekin in five innings.

The Panthers hit the road to LouisaMuscatine the next night and absolutely destroyed the ball. 15 hits, including five doubles, gave the Pekin pitching staff plenty of offensive support in the 11-4 win.

Leslie Stone and Courtney Comstock each threw two innings, while Lankford pitched three. The three pitchers allowed a combined three hits on the night.

Peyton Atwood finished the night with three hits, along with two RBIs, a double and a run. Stone matched Atwood’s three-for-four effort, with two of her hits being doubles. Lankford, Earnest, and Madelyn Baker each had twohit nights, while Tiana Slaney, Maranda Baker, and Brittany Gillam had one hit apiece.

After giving up four runs to Louisa-Muscatine in the first, the Pekin offense exploded for three runs in the second, third and fifth innings, to take control and clinch the win.

The Pekin bats stayed hot at home on Thursday against Mediapolis. The 15-run, 11-hit outburst paved the way for Pekin’s second win of the week.

Lankford and Brittany Gillam each went yard [homerun] on Thursday to lift the Panthers. Lankford’s long ball accounted for one of her four runs scored on the night. Stone, Slaney and Madelyn Baker each notched two hits, while Maranda Baker and Emily Adam added one hit each.

On the mound, Cheyann Lankford tossed five and two-thirds innings of threehit, no walk ball.

Thursday, July 4

T h e early part of this summer has been a growing process for the Keota baseball and softball teams.

A number of new faces, many being eighth graders, coupled with a strong conference, has made wins hard to come by for the Eagles.

A quick look at the rosters of the Eagles reveals just how young the two teams are.

Larry Lyle’s baseball team has on it three eighth graders, four freshmen, two sophomores, three juniors and two seniors. Jenny Hobbs’ softball team has three eighth graders, four freshmen, three sophomores, two juniors and ZERO seniors.

Chances are that the Lady Eagles are the youngest varsity softball team in the state, which makes looking ahead exciting. And the same can be said for Lyle’s squad, which fell to North Mahaska last week, 10-5, and to English Valleys, 12-1.

Keota’s softball team lost 21-1 to North Mahaska, 14-2 to Belle Plaine, and then 10-9 on Friday at EV. At EV, the Eagles found themselves down 10-1 after four innings, but displayed incredible grit and determination to fight back and make a game out of it. Five runs in the fifth; two in the sixth; and one in the seventh made EV do more than just break out in a sweat.

A group of girls with lesser character would have given in and made their weekend plans priority number one midway through the game; but not the Keota girls. They fought to the end, and despite coming up short, have something positive to build off of and learn from.

The Keota baseball has started playing better baseball of late and has some winnable games on the horizon. The Eagles played at HLV on Monday and then host Sigourney Wednesday. Keota then hosts Tri-County on Friday in a game it very well might win.

The Eagles’ softball team had double-headers on Monday at home against HLV, and Wednesday at Sigourney.

They then play at Tri-County on Friday.

Together, we will defeat deadly childhood diseases.
