ccutter@shawmedia.com It’s a sound we’re all familiar with: the roar of lawnmowers cutting grass. A sound not so familiar? The roar of a factory making lawnmowers – unless you grew up in Prophetstown, that is. Today, the march of time has eclipsed that sound, but a local group is dedicated to making sure people don’t forget the echoes of Prophetstown’s past. Younger generations, or people new to town, never may have known about the Eclipse Lawn Mower Co., were it not for the efforts of the 25 members of the Prophetstown Area Historical Society. Eclipse’s story is just one of many that can be found in its downtown museum, where visitors can learn about local topics from prehistoric days to the recent past – including the 2013 downtown fire that destroyed several businesses and homes, and nearly destroyed the society’s artifacts. “We try to emphasize the things that make Prophetstown unique and different,” longtime member and society Vice President Beverly Peterson said. “The Eclipse Lawn Mower factory was here for years. We have a state park. We were the site of an Indian village. We’ve had two men from here that have served in the state Legislature: George Brydia and Calvin Schuneman.” Preserving history took on a whole other meaning on July 15, 2013. That’s

when two brothers, ages 12 and 16, started a late-night dumpster fire that turned into an inferno that destroyed eight buildings, including the one that housed the museum. Several items were salvaged and restored, but several pieces of historical clothing on the second floor of their building, as well as some city records, were lost. Anita Oetzel donated the building to the society after the fire. New display cases came from a military museum in Springfield. Today, the museum is in space once occupied by three stores. The front room has recently donated displays and artwork of Native Americans. The Black Hawk picture is prominent; in it, he is standing next to his son, Whirling Thunder. The painting was done by John Wesley Jarvis in 1833, a year after Black Hawk was captured by federal troops during the war that bears his name. One picture above the fireplace is believed to be the prophet Wabokieshiek, an adviser to Black Hawk. It’s a copy of a George Catlin painting; the original is in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Black Hawk would come to Wabokieshiek for advice for himself and his band of followers. One of the federal soldiers who was responsible for chasing after Black Hawk and his tribe along the Rock River was future president Abraham Lincoln. Another area houses an exhibit dedicated to both the Eclipse Lawn Mower Co., which kept plenty of residents working

from 1900 to 1960, and Penberthy, a casting company that made sump pumps, level gauge valves and eductor-jets. Other exhibits feature Prophetstown’s schools, first responders, veterans, “Gasoline Alley” comics and artwork by the town’s Zschiesche family, and much more. Bob Zschiesche was an editorial cartoonist who was hired in 1950 as an assistant on Frank King’s long-running “Gasoline Alley” comic strip. By 1980 he had parted ways with the strip and moved on to syndicating his own editorial cartoon series, “Our Folks.” He later retired to the family farm in Prophetstown, and died in 1996. Historian Fred South has written several spiral-bound books about Prophetstown, which are on sale at the museum. Some materials consist of local history lessons South taught over 30 years at Prophetstown High School until retiring in 1994. The building itself, built in 1892, has plenty of history: It once was the Bank of Prophetstown, South said, and also housed Farmers National Bank at one time. George E. Paddock started the Bank of Prophetstown in 1892, but ran off with all of the bank’s money in January 1921 and eventually was captured in California. “He was playing the grain markets with the money,” South said. The front room also has a seating area where, during the 2 hours it’s open every Saturday morning, visitors can talk and share memories of the town. Plenty of stories, such as how the paving of local roads was a mixed blessing, have been shared. While the paved roads were an improvement, they also made it easier for vehicles and wagons to travel to larger cities such as Sterling and Rock Falls for business, taking a toll on Prophetstown’s economy. Before the railroad came to town in 1871, Prophetstown’s most commercial road was Third Street, South said. A two-story brick building that housed another bank still stands along that road, just east of downtown. Up until the COVID-19 pandemic, the society also opened up the Asa Crook Home on the town’s east end on the first Sunday of each month. Crook was Prophetstown’s first white settler; he arrived in 1834 from Michigan. The house, built in 1839 was restored and the society hopes to reopen it soon.

MORRISON

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

When the opportunity came about to purchase the old Wilson building at 103 N. Heaton St. in Morrison, Aubrey and Tim Fisher found the time was right to create a place for their unique gifts and collectibles. Saying they’re “no strangers to business,” the couple made the purchase in Feb. 2021, opened their doors on July 17, and had a ribbon-cutting with the Morrison Chamber of Commerce on Aug. 31. Since establishing the shop, Tim has been busy with renovations throughout the building, including demolishing the dilapidated greenhouses out back. “We still have some work to do, but we’re gradually getting things the way that we would like. My plan is at some point have classes in my work room,” said Aubrey of the ongoing updates. The couple have both been running online businesses for the last few years, while also having a few pop-up brick and mortar locations in Morrison. Tim has an eBay store with a focus on sports memorabilia, and Aubrey an Etsy shop for her handmade items. With the creation of their new store, they now have space to both display and expand their inventory. Aubrey’s specialties are handmade primitive country items, home and seasonal décor, wreaths, signs, t-shirts, and candles, plus DIY crafting items such as new and vintage buttons and fabric. There’s a stock of birthday party décor, as well as knickknacks and an ever-changing selection of kids’ items. “Art class was something that I looked forward to in school,” said Aubrey. “I have fond memories of making things that were a little bit different and being chosen for local displays and winning contests. I have a big dream of being featured in a magazine for a unique one-of-a-kind item that I’ve created.” Tim’s corner of the shop features packages of new and vintage sports collector cards, Hot Wheels, sports buttons, and autographed and authenticated sports gear such as helmets, footballs, and baseballs. He also sells custom wood pens made by Rob Lantz of Tampico. It’s an interesting balance of inventory in the shop, but one that caters to a variety of customers. Aubrey is a lifelong Morrison resident, and Tim is

given the best chance at life. Our little fighter was called home to the arms of our loving Father on October 5th, 2021. Dawson came into this world with a charismatic personality. He knew what he wanted, and he made it very clear to the doctors and nurses what that was. His nurses adopted the phrase, “Dawson does what Dawson wants”. He loved tummy time and giving his caregivers the side eye while they were trying to rearrange him to make him comfortable. His favorite times were spent in the arms of mom and dad. Although Jackson only got to meet his baby brother once, he loved to see him on video chats. Dad likes to point out that he got his fighting spirit from his mom. Mom likes to point out that the nurses all tolerated dad’s lame jokes. During his short time with us, Dawson touched countless lives. He quickly stole

the hearts of the nurses and all his Facebook followers. Mom and Dad shared Dawson’s journey in the NICU through Facebook, and the outpouring of love shared back with them is something they will always treasure. They are so appreciative of the prayer warriors throughout Dawson’s life. Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Caleb and Laykin and his big brother Jackson (Erie), grandparents Scott and Leslie Miner (Erie), Pam and Keith Soltow (Prophetstown), and Marty Scanlan (Lyndon), great-grandparents Mike and Sandy Miner (Decatur), Jim and Ruth Melton (Erie), Rollie and Lori Dornbush (Erie), George and Jean Ransom (Lyndon), Peggy Scanlan (Lyndon), Don and Sandy Blanchard (Polo), and great-great-grandparents Jim and Anne Johnson (Erie).

For the second time in the past six weeks, Fulton area volunteers dressed in their best Dutch costumes and staffed the downtown attractions to welcome guests of the American Countess, an American Queen Steamboat Company’s contemporary paddlewheeler on a Mississippi River cruise. The Windmill Cultural Center and de Immigrant Windmill were one of five “Hop On, Hop Off Tour” stops on Wednesday, Oct. 6., which also included the Sawmill Museum, the Clinton County Courthouse, the George Curtis Mansion, and the Clinton County Historical Society. Guests in Fulton were treated to tours of the windmill and center, Dutch pastries, cultural displays, and a working demonstration of wooden shoes or clog-making. Larry Russell of Fulton was set up with a traveling bench reminiscent of the ancestral art. He explained that a shoemaker would travel from town to town on a bike to make shoes on-site for customers. Fresh local wood - often cut the same day - was used since it was soft, though it soon became hard as a rock. A pair of shoes could be crafted in a couple hours, which were practical for the farmers working in the mud and water. Russell said the “clomping” of the “klompen” shoes indicated the wearers were “from the country.” In the lower level of the Fidelity-Drives Historic building, volunteers talked Holland history while offering pastries of Saint Nickolas Cookies, Almond Tassie, Stroop Waffel, Jan Hagel, and Banket provided by Krumpet’s bakery. Costumes, wedding shoes, pottery, dishes, dolls, and tavern pipes were some of the Dutch heritage items on display, with volunteers Joyce Moore and Trudy Feldt, a Dutch Days costume-maker, interacting with the intrigued visitors. Countess guests Jim and Linda McCabe of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin were delighted with the tour through Fulton. They said it was their first time in the city and the most interesting stop of the tour. “We loved viewing the collection of the mini-windmills and were impressed with the knowledge of the volunteers,” said Linda. Lesley Webster, Director of the Convention & Visitors Bureau and Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce, said guests always speak very highly of the destination. The tours were scaled back this year due to COVID-19, with the Countess being the smallest boat of the fleet to accommodate the limited number of passengers allowed. The Clinton tour stop, now in its sev-

enth year for the boat company, allows area volunteers to interact with people from across the country. While the guests hopped on buses to tour the area, locals visited the Clinton riverfront to view the massive paddlewheel boat docked for the day. The

American Countess features four decks, including a sun deck, 123 staterooms, and can accommodate up to 245 guests. The 9-day cruise from Alton, IL to Red Wing, MN starts at $2,600. This tour was the last one in the area for the year.

Former Albany police chief pleads not guilty to leaving crash scene BY KATHLEEN SCHULTZ kschultz@shawmedia.com

Albany’s former police chief, who resigned in June then worked two months for the Fulton Police Department before tendering his resignation there, has pleaded not guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, a misdemeanor traffic offense. Wyatt Heyvaert, 42, of Albany was charged Oct. 1 in Whiteside County Court and entered his plea in court Monday. Heyvaert is accused of driving his white 2022 Pontiac Grand Prix just after 3 a.m. Aug. 27, his birthday, when he struck a car on state Route 84 at Sixth Avenue in Albany, according to the citation issued by the Whiteside County Sheriff’s Department. Heyvaert was off duty at the time. Police did not conduct field sobriety tests on Heyvaert because he was not at the crash site, Sheriff John Booker

said. Heyvaert turned himself in to the sheriff’s department three days later Aug. 30, where he was cited for leaving the scene, Booker said. If convicted, Heyvaert could be sentenced to up Wyatt to 364 days in jail, plus Heyvaert fines. He has a pretrial hearing scheduled for Nov. 10. Heyvaert resigned as Albany police chief June 7, seven years and eight months after being hired by his hometown, citing difficult conditions under the new administration. “I resigned not just for this but for many other reasons,” he said in a phone interview Thursday. “I’ve been through hell the last 6 or 7 months in Albany, with the new board and mayor. It’s not friendly territory.” Heyvaert was hired July 12 as an officer in Fulton, but because of vacation and other time accrued, he was on

the books in Albany until Aug. 15, he said. He resigned from the Fulton department 10 days after the crash, on Sept. 6. Chief of Police Nick Neblung declined to provide a reason for the resignation, citing an agreement the city made with Heyvaert. Heyvaert said he is no longer in law enforcement and is not sure whether he’ll return to the profession. “Lots of people leave after 20 years, and that’s what I chose to do,” he said. “Sometimes you just need to get away from things. I just need to get away from the profession for a while. I’m not working in the public sector in any capacity. I just want to move forward.” Heyvaert also submitted a written statement to Sauk Valley Media regarding both the traffic ticket and his history with Albany and Fulton officials. In it, he elaborated on why he left Albany, alleging that the “environ-

ment became hostile and harassing in nature.” Heyvaert also alleged that the harassment he was subjected to in Albany continued into his employment with the Fulton Police Department. “Upon leaving, the harassment from particular citizens and some board members has continued all the way up and including the present time. I did work for the Fulton Police Department for a short time as they were suffering from staffing issues,” Heyvaert wrote. “Upon starting my position with Fulton in July, board members from Albany ... began contacting board members from Fulton in attempt to cast a negative light on my person.” He also said in the statement that he quit his job in Fulton because he “knew it would further bring more issues to myself and those who employed me with the City of Fulton. ... I did not wish to bring more unnecessary attention and stress to their amazing working environment.”

How has B.L.I.N.D. impacted your life?

B.L.I.N.D. has impacted my life by introducing me to people that I would have never thought to meet. I’ve created many friendships through B.L.I.N.D. that feel like they really know me and get why I do B.L.I.N.D. Having these friends that also are involved in what you’re interested in makes the bond even stronger.

What advice would you give to freshmen that would encourage them to pursue becoming a B.L.I.N.D. leader? The advice I would give to a freshman that is interested in B.L.I.N.D. is like what I said in the previous question, you will make a ton of new friends. These students and staff take time out of their lives just like you do just to help and make our school life better. The memories you make along the way are also the ones you look back on when you think about your high school experience.

If you were given $1,000, what would you do with it? If I was given $1,000, I would put the majority into savings like Dave Ramsey taught me and the other half I

GLIMPSES OF THE PAST - FULTON

2011: Albany resident reports seeing correctional center escapee 60 Years

Oct. 11, 1961

Tia Adams was crowned homecoming queen. Her attendants were Theresa Hobson, senior; Mieka Borgman, junior; Donna Ferguson, sophomore; and Lavonne Naftzger, freshman. An unusual demonstration of today’s modern farming machines was conducted by Bert and Martin Merema. The field demonstration was conducted on the Don DeWeerdt farm in Garden Plain, and the top feature of the day was a single Massey-Ferguson tractor pulling 12 bottoms plowing. The MF 85 diesel tractor pulled the big load in third gear and turned over a 168-inch wide swath of earth.

Charges of misconduct against police Officer Brian Eastman were dismissed after a session of the Public Safety Committee of the City Council. Mark Graham had charged that the officer had used profane language and had scratched his vehicle after stopping him on a traffic charge. Graham refused a lie detector test on advice from his attorney, and Eastman said he was willing to take a lie detector test. The committee felt it was a question of the officer’s word against the defendant’s word. Becky Sikkema won first place in a weightlifting contest in St. Paul, Minnesota. She placed first in the 114pound division at the Waterloo Power Lifting Championships. She had a 250pound squat, 110-pound bench press and a 285-pound dead lift and was cho-

sen the best female lifter in the contest. John Sikkema took third in the 165pound class by squatting 500 pounds, bench pressing 280 and dead lifting 485.

The Fulton Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting at River Discount Tobacco. The new store is at 1115 Fourth Street. It is owned by Gurlabh Singh and Bhupinder Kaur. An Albany resident reported to the Whiteside County Sheriff’s Office that they had seen a subject that matched the description of an escapee from the East Moline Correctional Center. Within minutes, deputies responded to the area and noticed a subject running through yards. A perimeter was quickly established. Those assisting the Whiteside County Sheriff’s Office included Albany Police, Erie Police, Fulton Police, Clinton County Iowa Police, Sterling Police K-9s, Rock Island County Sheriff’s Office, ISP District 1, ISP District 7, ISP Air Operations-Sterling, Illinois Department of Corrections and Albany EMS.

Talking about COVID-19 boosters and dogs sniffing out the virus By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Immunity for any condition tends to wane over time. This is true whether it’s a disease or a vaccine. COVID-19 is no different, but even though data is not clear, this may be the first time we have a condition in which the vaccine confers better immunity than after having the disease. Historically, many immunizations did not have boosters. MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) was a classic example. Most vaccines over time have developed boosters. Some recent examples include the pneumonia shot and

shingles vaccine, both of which originally were one and done. Many vaccines come with a built-in series, such as hepatitis B. To be sure, people who have been vaccinated in general fare far better when encountering a disease than the unvaccinated. A person’s immune system is a complex process. In general, immunity tends to wean with age and is impacted by the underlying overall health of an individual. This led to the recent decision by a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel to narrow the booster recommendation to people 65 and older and anyone at high risk for severe illness. Those at a

high risk of exposure, including health care workers and teachers, were included. The problem with this approach is there is far more variability in this category. The reality is as long as the disease remains viable, a booster is needed at some point, even after several years. In the meantime, the risk may exceed the benefit for other groups. Here is something interesting about testing: It turns out that dogs have been trained to sniff out the COVID-19 virus with a remarkably high degree of sensitivity and accuracy. They can detect who is carrying the virus, which conceivably could be a vaccinated individ-

ual wearing a mask. They can detect the virus on clothing and face masks in trace amounts. Military programs have been abandoned because despite their sophisticated computer sensing devices, they could not keep up with the trained dogs. Can you imagine how quickly, cheaply and thoroughly trained dogs could screen public events at schools, churches, concerts and other large events? Why do we need to volunteer the human nose for testing when dogs gladly will do it much better?

Riverdale PTO wows with first ever Fall Festival BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Frida y ’ s o cc a si on al r ai n finally cleared up in time for a delightful evening with a colorful sunset during Riverdale PTO’s first ever Fall Festival at the elementary school on Oct. 8. Hundreds of costumed kids, their families, school staff, and student volunteers enjoyed the various Halloween-themed activities on school grounds. Superintendent Josh Temple and local farmer Mike Skelton pulled hayrack rides from their tractors, with a steady line for the trek around the fields. Dozens of vehicles were decorated for trunk-or-treat, with teachers, athletes, coaches, middle and high school students, and community organizations getting in on the fun and giving out treats. The elementary gym had fall-themed photo props, providing picturesque backdrops for kids in their costumes. There were games in the parking lot, apple cider demonstrations, cupcakes and fall drinks for sale, and meal deals from the

Riverdale Rams Booster Club. “The Riverdale PTO works hard to support the students and teachers of the Riverdale School District. We wanted to have the Fall Festival as a way to bring everyone together and give families an opportunity to get out to the schools for some fun,” said Sara Watson, Riverdale PTO president. The PTO was also able to raise funds by selling raffle tickets for nearly two dozen themed gift baskets, with room parents from each grade contributing to the prizes, ranging from movie nights to art projects to Shop Local to camping fun. But the opportunity to bring the community together was the real aim. “I loved seeing the teachers smiling and laughing with their students, and I loved the interactions between the high school students and younger kids,” said Watson. “We weren’t sure what to expect from the first time hosting the event, but it was a HUGE success. We are appreciative for the community we live in and the support we received.”

pened,” Wolfe said. “My personal best before this weekend was 76, and I come down to state and average a 75.5 – it’s pretty amazing.” Wolfe’s teammate, senior Jacob Donald, finished in a tie for 41st, following Friday’s 79 with an 81 for a 160. In between, he returned to Sterling on Friday night to kick four extra points and a 38-yard field goal in the Comets’ 43-0 win over Hall.

FOOTBALL

BY ERIC INGLES

eingles@shawmedia.com Nursing a three-point lead most of the second half, Fulton’s defense made stop after stop to hold off Forreston 24-14 on Friday, making the Steamers playoff eligible. The Cardinals got the ball first in the second half, taking over at their own 31, and got the ball to the Fulton 46 before the Steamers’ defense stuffed a fourth-and-2 play for a turnover on downs. The next Forreston drive started at the Cardinals’ 4 after Noah Johnson intercepted a pass in the end zone. From there, the Cardinals got out to the 26, but back-to-back incomplete passes forced a punt. Forreston turned the ball over on downs again with 6:38 to go in the game. A second-down pass down the field to Matthew Beltran was just a bit out of his reach, and the Steamers stopped runs on third and fourth down. “Our defense just played well all four quarters,” Fulton coach Patrick Lower said. “When we had Du-Pec come in here [Week 3], we gave up quite a few yards rushing. When Lena came to town [Week 5], we gave up quite a few yards rushing. Tonight we knew we were going to give up some yards. We really concentrated on first down, owning our first down and making them earn everything, and I believe every yard they got tonight, including both scores, they earned every bit of it.” Fulton got an insurance score with 3:38 left in the game on a halfback pass. Jacob Jones took a pitch from Steamers quarterback Brayden Dykstra and, rolling right, found a wide-open Brock Mason in the end zone for a 23-yard score. “That ball’s been slippery all day, it’s been tough to hold onto,” Jones said. “I got the reverse, and we’ve been practicing for a time like this. I saw [Mason] beat his guy, and the rest was history.” Jones then came through with a defensive play on the ensuing drive. With Forreston looking at a last-ditch effort in the waning minutes, Jones came off the edge to sack Cardinals quarterback Logan Dyson. “I thought it was the play they’d been running really well all day,” Jones said. “They had to pass, I just saw it, and you have to make a play to win games.” But Forreston’s defense came through with big plays as well. The Cardinals stopped Fulton for a threeand-out on the game’s opening drive, Fulton gaining just one yard on the

series. Forreston then ended the half with a sack near midfield as time ran out on the second quarter as Fulton had gotten into position to attempt a Hail Mary. In the second half, after Johnson’s end zone interception, the Cardinals defense forced a turnover on downs at their own 21. The Steamers scored the first 10 points of the game. Dykstra hit Mason for a 23-yard score on Fulton’s second drive, then Endi Qunaj capped off the next drive with a 37-yard field goal. Forreston answered with 8:37 left in the first half. A 13-play, 64-yard drive burned four minutes off the clock, with Dyson finding Matthew Beltran for a 12-yard touchdown pass. Fulton answered with another touchdown pass. One play after Mason made a toe-tapping catch on the sideline for a first down, Dykstra found Keegan VanKampen for a 42-yard score to make it 17-8. Forreston put together another long drive at the end of the half. A 14-play, 50-yard drive led to Beltran plunging in from 3 yards out on fourth down, cutting Fulton’s lead to 17-14 with 21 seconds left in the half. VanKampen carried 19 times for 96 yards for the Steamers. Jones added 66 rushing yards, 23 passing yards and 53 receiving yards. Mason made three catches for 64 yards.

River Bend Bulldogs help contribute to community The River Bend football team finished the 2021 season with two home victories on the field and one at the gate. The Bulldogs encouraged everyone to donate a canned good at the gate before entering the game. One hundred and forty-nine items were donated. These food items will be passed along to area food banks. On the field, the fifth and sixth grade Bulldogs took on non-conference foe Stockton. The first half was a defensive battle with the teams entering halftime tied 0-0. The second half saw the Bulldogs have long drives stopped by turnovers and the Bulldogs defense stopping the 39ers. The Bulldogs’ Easton Spooner finally punched in a touchdown, followed by a twopoint conversion pass from Talon Meyer to Evan McWilliams. Stockton rallied late in the

game with a long drive capped by a touchdown pass, but River Bend’s defense stood tall and stopped the two-point conversion attempt to give the Bulldogs an 8-6 win. The fifth and sixth grade Bulldogs finished the season with an impressive 6-1 record. The seventh and eighth grade Bulldogs hosted Northeast of Silvis. The Bulldogs charged out early and never looked back, winning 42-24. “Sixth grade year, they were 5-2, and this year 5-2, but more importantly they got better. They understand the game more and they work as a unit,” head coach Aaron Kuebel said about his graduating eighth graders.

Kolby Franks leads Erie-Prophetstown past Bureau Valley BY CLARK TEUSCHER The Bureau Valley football team did everything it could Friday to slow down a potent Erie-Prophetstown offense, but the Panthers had more than enough firepower to quiet the Storm, 35-12. Bureau Valley (2-5) was able to limit the Panthers to 32 total offensive plays, but Erie-Prophetstown still was able to accumulate 422 yards and lead comfortably throughout the contest. The Panthers drove 78 yards to the end zone on the game’s first possession, scoring on running back Connor Sib-

ley’s 3-yard touchdown run. Bureau Valley drove to the Panthers’ 18-yard line in an attempt to level the score, but a failed fourth-down conversion handed the ball back to the visitors. Two plays later, E-P was in the end zone again as Sibley broke free for a 43-yard scamper before quarterback Kolby Franks darted up the middle for a 39-yard touchdown run. The Storm got on the board early in the second period as fullback Levi Hardy plunged across the goal line for the score, leaving the count at 14-6 with 7:51 to play in the first half.

Once again, the Panthers (5-2) responded quickly as Franks broke free for an 18-yard run before lofting a pass over the Bureau Valley defense to Mason Misfeldt for a 32-yard scoring pass and a 21-6 advantage. Panthers took one final shot to the end zone through the air to end the half, but Storm cornerback Brock Foster intercepted the pass. Unable to move the ball, the hosts punted, and Franks found Trevor Cobo downfield for a 55-yard completion before running in for another score, this time from 20 yards out.

Storm quarterback Adam Johnson found Isaac Attig for a 3-yard touchdown with 7:50 left in the contest. An unsuccessful onside kick gave E-P possession near midfield, and the Panthers collected the game’s final touchdown on a 6-yard run by Jase Grunder with 4:06 to play. Franks finished with a game-high 136 rushing yards on just nine carries while completing 4 of 5 passes for 126 yards. Sibley gained 117 yards on 12 rushing attempts, and Misfeldt was the Panthers’ top tackler with 10 total stops.
