Fulton retains Wooden Shoe a little longer

Steamers close regular season with win over rival Morrison

By CODY CUTTER ccutter@shawmedia.com

FULTON – Northwest Illinois’ most storied high school football traveling trophy will stay on the feet of the Fulton Steamers.

For the first time since spring 2021, the Fulton Steamers and Morrison Mustangs played in the Wooden Shoe Bowl with the winner holding possession of the namesake trophy. With a successful ground game on offense and bottling up the Mustangs’ rushing efforts on the flip end, the Steamers on senior night concluded the regular season with a 41-7 win at Steamer Field.

The traveling trophy, first awarded in 1977, was up for grabs for the first time in a season closer for both teams. Fulton ended its season at 4-5 (3-5 NUIC). Morrison exited at 3-6 (2-6).

Senior Skylier Crooks, junior Mason Kuebel and sophomore Jonah Lutz combined for 322 rushing yards on 53 attempts for Fulton, with Crooks (23 carries, 143 yards) and Kuebel (16 carries, 104 yards) hitting triple digits. The Mustangs, meanwhile, went backward on nine of their first 14 rushing plays and had to take to the air to get something going. Morrison’s lone score came on a 55-yard completion from senior Colton Bielema to junior Brady Anderson late in the second quarter.

The seniors in the game were in eighth grade the last time the trophy was up for grabs. Steamers senior twoway lineman Josiah Heald and his classmates finally got to experience the Wooden Shoe Bowl in their final high school game.

“It means everything,” Heald said. “All of our seniors waited for this moment and everybody was waiting for this at the end of the year. This was a great game. It’s a big rivalry and everybody was hyped for this.”

Crooks got the Steamers on the board with an 11-yard touchdown run 6:30 into the game. He kept the Steamers’ momentum going on the ensuing kickoff as an onside chip by senior Jacob Huizenga wound up in Crooks’ hands near midfield to give the ball back to Fulton. About 90 seconds later, Crooks capitalized on a 25-yard TD catch from junior quarterback Braeden Meyers for a 14-0 lead.

“Jacob kicked it and it bounced real high, so I went up to get it,” Crooks said. “Luckily, I held on to it when I came down. That just made the

momentum go so high.”

Meyers added a second TD pass in the second quarter, this time to senior Dane VanZuiden from 10 yards out for a 21-0 lead. Meyers tallied 113 yards in the air in the first half and was under center until there was 3:41 left in the fourth quarter when senior Dom Kramer, coming back from injury, took over. Kramer, who began the season as the starting quarterback, handed off to Crooks with 3:10 to go in the game for the running back’s fourth touchdown, which came on a 2-yard run.

“We were just able to do what we needed to do offensively,” Fulton coach Patrick Lower said. “I thought

our kids played with great energy. We flew around defensively and were very active, we were gap sound and were able to nullify their ground game and make them one-dimensional, making them throw the ball as many times as they’re not accustomed to. We challenged our kids to play a more complete second half and we did that.”

Crooks had his third score on a 1-yard run with 9:30 to play in the third quarter. Lutz added a touchdown from 3 yards out at the third-quarter buzzer.

“There was a lot of emotion,” Crooks said. “It was the last game I’ll probably ever play, ever again, so I had to leave everything out there. I

couldn’t do it without everyone on the line, everyone on the sidelines, it all helps.”

Fulton’s defense stopped Morrison on the ground with seven tackles for loss and two sacks.

“Credit to Fulton, they took it from the opening kickoff,” Morrison coach Nate Vandermyde said. “They played power football that we had a hard time stopping, and when you can’t stop their run, it makes for a long night.”

Fulton has held the traveling trophy since it beat Morrison 56-0 in Week 4 of the 2021 spring season.

TERRY L. HANS

Born: October 6, 1947 in Freeport, IL

Died: October 18, 2024 in Fulton, IL

Terry Lee Hans, 77, passed peacefully into the arms of his savior Jesus Christ on October 18, 2024, surrounded by loving family. Visitation will be held at McDonald Funeral Home, 1601 16th Ave, Fulton, IL 61252 on Sunday, October 27th from 3-6:00 PM. A viewing will be held at Kingdom Life Community Church, 11429 Ward Rd, Morrison, IL 61270 on Monday, October 28th at 10:00 AM. Funeral will be at 11:00 AM.

Terry was born in Freeport, IL on October 6, 1947, to Elmer and Arletta (Hartman) Hans. He graduated from Thomson High School in 1965. Terry married Evelyn Prins (married

Rhythm City Casino for more than a decade.

“We have five kids and one day we were just tired of missing things,” Stephanie said. “Eric worked every weekend. We were both on call 24/7, and this is always something that we wanted to do. We finally got to a point where we’d saved up enough money, and we thought, ‘Let’s do it.’ ”

The couple bought the building in December 2023, but Stephanie said it needed a little tender loving care before opening.

“We had to do all new plumbing, all new electrical, new furnace, new air conditioner,” Stephanie said. “It was one thing after another and it just kept going. So it took a lot longer than we expected it to, but once we got over that big hump, we were like,

‘All right, let’s go.’ ”

Urban Eats serves light and healthy food options such as salads, sandwiches, soups and desserts. It is open from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

“Everything, all the dressings, all the soups, are all homemade from scratch,” Stephanie said. “We make the sandwiches and the salads as people order them, so they come out fresh and amazing. People can walk up and order in the line or sit down and the waitress will come take their order.”

Stephanie said Urban Eats originated in DeWitt, Iowa, with Eric’s mother, Jessica Jones, who opened the restaurant in 2017. The couple gained valuable practical experience from Jones before opening their “son” location.

“Once we decided this is what we’re going to do, we started going there a couple of days a week and learning things like how the line runs effectively, how the dishes get done in a clean and efficient manner, and just the overall flow of how things should go,” Stephanie said. “Figuring out the timing of orders was the biggest challenge for me. The first couple of weeks was learning that and now I think we’re doing much better. The town has been very patient and supportive with us, and we appreciate it.”

Stephanie said that at the end of the day, it’s all about family.

“What I love about this is that I’m here every day with my husband and we get done at a decent time, so we don’t miss anything,” Stephanie said.

19 years) and adopted two boys. He then met the love of his life, Katherine (Johnson) Hebeler at a Christian Singles Group; married 9 months later, and became a father to 4 children and a year later, they had a daughter. Terry farmed most of his early life alongside his father and brother on the family farm in Illinois. He continued farming another 10 years with his close Christian friend, Andy Wujek in Mendota, IL. For a few short years, to supplement the farm, he went back to school and worked as a machinist. He eventually left farming to work four years at a ministry in Missouri. He moved back to the Fulton area in 2005. He drove semi-truck for the ministry, later transferring to Van Wyk and then ADM. He traveled across the United States and Canada, until retiring in 2021 at age 73. He especially enjoyed pulling Heartland’s “Jesus is the Answer” milk tanker. He treasured the “Divine Encounters” and meaningful connections he made with countless people while driving. And it should be said that his work

ethic was always incomparable. Terry’s faith was foundational, and his church family was important to him everywhere he lived and traveled. He was a light and an encouragement to everyone he shared his faith with wherever God led him. In his younger years, he was a successful bowler and competed in several ABC tournaments around the US. He enjoyed playing basketball and was a very good baseball pitcher in high school, but didn’t pursue it later because farming was so important to him. He enjoyed showing calves in 4H, and in FFA he received the State Farmer award in 1965. Later, he enjoyed traveling, especially to Branson, and to see family and friends, plus fishing and target practice with his children and grandchildren. He liked to attend their sport events up until he died.

He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Katherine (Johnson) Hans; his siblings, Julie (Steve) Lindstrom and Ronald (Gretchen) Hans; his children, Bethany (Kane Hamilton)

Hans, Christopher Hans, Timothy (Lindsey) Hans, Tamara (Daniel) Ivory, L. James (Jesse) Hebeler, Daniel (Thamyres Pedrosa) Hebeler; as well as 23 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, Elmer and Arletta, his beloved son, Jeffrey Scott Hans, and their faithful dog, Nutmeg.

Terry was a loving father, grandfather, great grandfather, and devoted husband that loved his country and served his Savior. He will be dearly missed by all that knew him.

A special thank you to Mercy One Hospice for all their care, Flo Schuler for being obedient to God and coming at exactly the time He told her to, providing 24-hour love and support for Terry’s last week. He was so blessed by the many family and friends who kept him company, assisted, prayed with him and brought meals to the family.

Lupus is one of many autoimmune conditions

Lupus is one of the many autoimmune conditions in which the body’s immune system creates too much inflammation, which may affect many organ tissues. This includes the skin, along with joints and kidneys, the brain, the heart, the lungs and even blood cells.

The diagnosis often is delayed because of the overlap of other more common conditions. The classic presentation includes a rash that looks like a butterfly rash on both cheeks.

Some people have inherited a tendency to develop the condition. Sometimes medicines and even sunlight can be a trigger but often the cause is unknown. The condition is character-

ized by episodic flares, which come and go.

Classic common findings include fever with fatigue and joint pain and swelling, along with the rash and other skin lesions. Shortness of breath, dry eyes and headache also may come into play.

The condition is far more common in women and often between the ages of 15 and 45. It is especially common in African Americans, Hispanics and

Asian Americans.

Kidney failure can be advanced to the point of causing death with lupus. Also, brain issues may lead to dizziness, headaches, behavior changes, strokes and seizures. There may be difficulty expressing your thoughts. The lungs may be affected, making breathing difficult and pneumonia more likely. Heart disease increases as well.

Women who are pregnant have an increased risk of miscarriage.

No single test will diagnose lupus. Common tests performed include a complete blood count and a sedimentation rate, along with kidney functions and a urine specimen. There is a special test known as anti-nuclear antibodies.

While most people with lupus have a positive ANA test, most people who take the test do not have lupus. Sometimes a biopsy is necessary.

Treatment depends on the severity and location. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories may be involved. Like other rheumatology conditions, antimalarial drugs such as hydroxychloroquine may be used.

Prednisone and other steroids may be employed. Immunosuppressants may be employed as well, which increase the risk of infection. Biologics are becoming more common for treatment.

The condition normally is followed by specialists.

DIXON – An inspection of the U.S. 30 Mississippi River bridge (Gateway Bridge) in Whiteside County was slated to begin Monday, Oct. 28, weather permitting, the Illinois

Department of Transportation announced Oct. 25.

A daily lane closure with flaggers will take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Signs also will be used to maintain traffic during the project, which is scheduled to be completed by 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the

posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment.

• WOODEN SHOE

Continued from page 3

The trophy was created many years after the Lincoln Highway rivals played their first game. According to a written history by late Mustangs coach and athletic director Gus Linke, who helped create the trophy in 1977, “The purpose was to provide motivation to the intense football rivalry and lend a sportsmanship flavor to the strong Dutch heritage of both communities.”

The wooden shoe came from Morrison High School custodian Ralph Keiser.

The two schools played their first football game in 1901 and the series was played intermittently until 1946, when both schools joined the Illowa Conference. Morrison leads the all-time series 57-30-5, a record that includes playoff games in which the trophy is not up for grabs such as when the two faced each other in last year’s Class 1A playoff opener in Morrison, a 34-12 Mustangs win.

While Fulton ends the regular season on a high note by retaining the Wooden Shoe trophy, Morrison waits another year.

Vandermyde, a Morrison alum, took Friday’s tilt as “just another game,” he said, hoping most to have his seniors end with a win.

“Yeah, it’s the Wooden Shoe Bowl, and, yeah, there’s the trophy, but we just had to treat this week just like any other week and try to come out on top,” Vandermyde said.

Fulton’s Reese Germann honored as career digs leader

Viterbo commit holds school’s match, season and career records

By DRAKE LANSMAN dlansman@shawmedia.com

FULTON – Fulton senior volleyball player Reese Germann grew up admiring Averi Leitzen, who once held the Steamers’ match, season and career digs records.

“Watching her as a kid, she got everything up. It was so impressive,” Germann said. “I thought she was literally amazing.”

With Reese’s mom, Stacy, being Fulton’s volleyball coach and her older sister, Teegan, also a standout volleyball player, she was surrounded by volleyball ever since she can remember.

Now a senior, Reese’s name is next to all of Fulton’s major digs records.

Having already set Fulton’s match digs record (33) and season digs record (461) last season, she had only one more to go.

Germann made it happen two weeks ago and was recognized before Fulton’s home win over Ashton-Franklin Center on Oct. 17. Germann eclipsed Leitzen’s 1,099 career digs accumulated from 2013-15. Germann added nine more digs in a 25-11, 25-12 win over AFC as Fulton improved to 17-8-1 and 8-3 in the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference.

Germann has 1,128 career digs.

A video of Leitzen congratulating Germann was played before the match.

“I could not be more proud of you,” Leitzen said in the video. “You are very deserving.”

“She was my biggest aspiration,” Germann said of Leitzen. “Ever since I came into high school.”

Germann said it’s always been a goal to have a record since she joined the team. Now she has three after working her way to varsity her sophomore year after watching her sister as a freshman. She beat sister Teegan’s match digs record of 26 set in 2021. Leitzen’s season digs record of 397 had stood since 2015.

Continued from page 12

Teegan played volleyball at Grand View University for two years and now is an assistant coach for the Steamers. She is continuing to get her degree online.

“She was really happy for me when I broke her record,” Reese said of Teegan. “She’s always been there for me and she’s always been pushing me.”

Reese struggled with trying to be a perfectionist as a libero, but she learned to just go with the flow of the game. It’s paid off.

Also a standout softball player in the outfield, she said there is overlap between the two sports.

“You just always have to go for the ball, and dive, and just be ready,” she said, “always running, always moving your feet. And that applies to volleyball.”

Coach Germann said Reese works hard and is a student of the game. She played club volleyball with Iowa Select over the winter.

“She listens, and she learns, and she reads the block well,” coach Germann said. “She’s a smart kid, and she utilizes that out on the floor. And she works. If there’s an extra practice, she’ll go to that. It’s just effort -

She’s just smooth on the court and makes it look easy.”

Stacy Germann, Fulton coach, on libero Reese Germann, her daughter

less for her. She’s just smooth on the court and makes it look easy.

“On defense, so much of it is reading the hitters and reading the blockers, and she does that.”

Reese is committed to play volleyball in La Crosse, Wisconsin, at Viterbo University, a top-notch NAIA volleyball team in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Stacy Germann, now in her 30th year coaching the Steamers, said it was a big accomplishment for Reese to break those three records, all previously held by Leitzen.

“Avery was our first libero that was just a true, natural passer,” she said. “And that’s what Reese does.”

Fulton is a No. 2 seed in the postseason, which began Oct. 28. The Steamers played Mooseheart on Monday night in an Indian Creek Regional quarterfinal in Shabbona.

Reese feels really good where the team is at right now.

“We’re like a tight-knit family,” she said. “We all know each other. We all love each other.”

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP

Football

Erie-Prophetstown falls to Princeton: The Princeton Tigers posted a 61-14 win over Erie-Prophetstown in a Three Rivers Conference crossover to close out the regular season.

The Panthers got on the board with 18.5 seconds left in the half when Gaven Adams caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Keegan Winckler that deflected off a teammate.

Winckler also found pay dirt with a 10-yard run in the third quarter.

E-P coach Tyler Whitebread said playing a team such as Princeton can only help the Panthers heading into the playoffs.

“I’m pretty sure we’re not going to see a team the caliber of Princeton (this) week or probably throughout 2A. Princeton’s a heck of a team,” he said. “I know there’s some takeaways from this game. We did some things well. But yeah, we have to have a short-term memory. It’s the playoffs. It’s do or die. What we did the previous week doesn’t matter right now. Put our best foot forward and try to put everything together.”
