Bair Makes History with Consecutive IHSRA Queen Crowns

By Robin Handy, News-Review Editor Emma Bair, a sophomore at Tri-Count High School and resident of Keswick, raised the bar with back to back crowns.

For the first time in the history of the Iowa High School Rodeo Association (IHSRA) Queen pageant, Bair was crowned Queen two consecutive years, 2013 and 2014.

Six judges with expertise in a variety of backgrounds from equine to livestock tally points on each contestant through a series of six events with additional points awarded for personality and appearance. Bair scored the highest overall points in the combined events: written test on the NHSRA rulebook, a 15-minute interview with the judges, modeling, a two-minute speech, an impromptu question and a horsemanship pattern.

“Emma is a wonderful representation of everything the crown stands for. Everyone from the state of Iowa is extremely proud of her and is excited for her upcoming year,” said Katie Stien, IHSRA Queen Coordinator.

County Fair Floral Hall Entries Welcome provide an exhibitor number and entry tags now so exhibitors can do the paperwork at home or the number and tags will be available at Floral Hall during early entry Thursday, July 10 from 5 - 6:30 and during regular entry on Friday, July 11, 8 - 11:30.

New exhibitors are urged to be a part of the Keokuk County Fair, What Cheer.

Barnyard Billy is another Sigourney Independence Day tradition - kids lined up across the courtyard for balloon animals and several folks just enjoyed watching the fascination on the children’s faces as the animals came to live.

Is Help On Horizon for Lewis Memorial Fountain?

The 2014 Keokuk County Expo Queen is crowned on Thursday, July 17 following the Bill Riley Talent Show and just prior to the Keokuk County 4-H Flower Planter Auction.

Please turn to Page 2 of this week’s News-Review to read the contestants self-introductions.

The Keokuk County Fair is searching for entries to fill Floral Hall for the 126th annual Keokuk County Fair.

Fair books with a complete listing of items you can enter are available at Thomas Grocery, WC Post Office, TruBank, and Ridgeway’s in What Cheer; Delta Grocery, and the News-Review office.

As the Iowa High School Rodeo Association Queen, Emma represents not only the IHSRA, but also the sport of rodeo and the state of Iowa for an entire year. It is a huge responsibility. As a queen, she attends functions throughout the US including numerous PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association) rodeos, regional and state rodeos, local functions, visits schools, the Iowa FFA Leadership Conference, Iowa Horse Fair and the list goes on.

“Not only does Emma have responsibilities throughout the year, but she also has to compete in a pageant all over again when she represents our state at the National High School Rodeo Finals in Rock Springs, Wyo., July 13-19. She competes against other girls across the world for the National High School Rodeo Queen crown,” said Stien.

Record number of parade entries for 2014 with 159, according to Dan Appleget, parade organizer. The Sigourney Fire & Rescue officers carried the colors and pulled the antique firehose spindle with several members walking the parade route. The department was very stunning in their dress uniforms. The fireworks show later that night was amazing; the community really does well supporting the annual fireworks display.

Summer 2010

By Robin Handy, NR Editor Families and friends were sad to not see the beautiful Lewis Memorial Fountain in operation this past holiday weekend. City officials and concerned volunteers have pulled together to obtain pricing as well as create a time-line in hopes of returning the Fountain to her glory days.

Volunteers met with John Bloom from Des Moines last Tuesday, July 1. He is an architect with Slingshot Architecture and associated with the State Historic Society. He works in an advisory position on historic preservation projects.

Once Bloom returns with more details, volunteers will meet regularly and share their findings on the City of Sigourney’s website and in the News-Review.

The annual Poker Run combines challenging riddles with a beloved card game for an evening of motorized fun; it’s all sponsored by the SK Cobras Cheerleaders.

The annual Pedal Pull is very competitive, but everyone has great fun!

WC Baptist Church Bible School “More, more about Jesus” was the theme of the three day Bible School which included ageless Bible stories about Jesus Christ. Teachers were Carol Waite of the Hilltop Chapel and Stacey Thompson, Jane Larson and Pastor Dick Larson of the Baptist Church.

For the younger children, the lessons included, Jesus healing a deaf man, Jesus knows how and where to fish and the Lost Sheep. The older children were taught the ways to success is to live right by pleasing the Lord by obeying God and parents, being honest, sharing. Assisting in various ways to make the Bible School successful were Opal Dennis Mary Lewis and three young people - Gidien Goff, Samuel Gragg and Dillon

Hartwig from the Baptist Church and Zechariah Bolinger from the Methodist Church.

A program was held on the final day including a skit “Something more than silver and gold?’ Jane Larson played the part of the host as she interviewed Peter, played by Gunner Goff; John by Gabel Goff and the lame man healed

by Jesus by Caleb Schultz. After singing Bible school songs and giving Bible School verses, the program ended with Pastor Larson giving a certificate of completion, followed by the singing and kazoo playing of “Jesus Loves Me” Home baked cookies and goodies were donated by many ladies of the congregation for the three day school and the fellowship time following the program.

Meet the 2014 County Expo Queen Candidates Paige Baetsle Paige Baetsle, of Ollie, is a 17-year old student at Pekin High School. Her school activities include: Volleyball, Softball and FFA and she also volunteers in her community with: 4-H, County Council, help different farmers in the area plant and harvest crops in the spring and fall, help local hog farmers sell and vaccinate hogs, served food at church suppers. Baetsle’s future plans include attending Kirkwood Community College and majoring in Agriculture Geospatial Technology.

“Currently, I am serving as President of my 4-H Club, Lafayette Feeders. In past years, I have served as Secretary and Vice President. I have been a member of Lafayette Feeders 4-H Club for 8 years. During those 8 years, I have done various community activities alongside of my club members. Some of those activities include: planting trees around the Keokuk County Expo fairgrounds, picking up trash after Figure 8 Races, and volunteering at local nursing homes. I show cattle and swine for 4-H. I have made Home Improvement, Visual Arts, Food and Nutrition, and Wood-Working projects in the Block Building. One year a Barn Quilt I made was selected for Iowa State Fair and received a blue ribbon. Last year, I received the Senior Merit Award through 4-H and throughout the years, I have been awarded Swine and Cattle Herdsmen-ship. On top of my involvement with 4-H in Keokuk County, I also am involved with Pekin FFA. In 2013, I went to Kentucky for National FFA Convention. In the 20142015 school years I will be serving as an FFA Officer.

I have always been very dedicated to the 4-H program and enjoy helping others during expo.

Every year, I help at Expo setup and takedown by carrying gates, holding wire, or doing any task needed to be done. During Expo, I always find myself helping the younger 4-Hers that need help. Whether it is walking their livestock to and from the wash bay, feeding livestock, cleaning up their tack areas, or showing an animal if they have more than

1 in a class, I am always there to help. I still have found time to have three jobs. In the past, I have worked at K&L Foods as a cashier and a self-stocker in Sigourney, Iowa and at Keokuk County Implement as a janitor in Sigourney, Iowa. Currently, I am employed at Pekin Child Care Center as a childcare provider.

Even with my crazy, but busy life, I have managed to keep my grades up in school; I have been on the straight A Honor Roll all three years of my High School career...,” said Baetsle.

Tamara Bendorf Tamara Bendorf is the 17 years old daughter of Monica Plum of Williamsburg.

She plans to join the Navy at 18, Grandview University in Des Moines for her undergrad, and then go to naval medical school.

Tamara attended leadership conferences this summer and attended Girl’s State at Iowa State University where she learned how city and state government works and participated in a mock election. The following week she spent at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wis. at the World Affairs Seminar where students from five continents, 20 US states and 13 different countries were in attendance.

Gretchen Greiner Gretchen Greiner, of Ollie, is the 17-year old daughter of Elmer Greiner Jr. and Anne Lyle.

Her school activities are volleyball, football cheerleading, and basketball cheerleading. During the winter, she takes stats for the wrestling team and has to attend all of their practices and meets. Greiner also participates in art club.

“I stay very busy during the school year with athletic and other activities but I also take time to get involved with community activities. I have volunteered at Little Lions volleyball camp to help teach 4th, 5th, and 6th graders the fundamen-

tals of volleyball. I have helped local farmers and neighbors with yard work, chores, babysitting, and shoveling their driveways in the winter. I also often pick up trash along stretches of Keokuk County highways and gravel roads. I have been involved in 4-H since 4th grade. My 4H club and I also go to the nursing home in Keota every year to visit with the residents and make crafts with them. We have also planted trees here at the Expo as well as cleaning and picking up trash on Expo grounds,” said Greiner.

Her future plans are to continue taking Kirkwood Academy and ICN classes until the end of her senior year of high school.

After graduating, she plans on continuing her education at either Kirkwood Community College, or the University of Iowa to further her studies in the nursing field.

“My parents got divorced when I was very young and I have lived with my mom ever since. She moved my younger brother and I to a small town north of Iowa City named Lisbon.

I have went to Lisbon High school since the beginning of my freshman year. Living in Lisbon does not stop me from being very involved in 4-H. I make countless trips down to Ollie to see my dad and family. I stay with my dad all summer to work with my 4-H animals and projects...,” said Greiner.

Tales ofbythe Ancient Sportsman Burdell Hensley It was a ferocious storm that went through our area Monday afternoon. There appears to be lots of damage between Oskaloosa and New Sharon and I am sure there is plenty of damage in other areas as well. I don’t know if there was a tornado or not, but the straight line winds had to be over 70 or 80 mph. Some corn was flattened while other fields were twisted and leaning badly.

To top things off, the Skunk River went on a rampage due to heavy rains in the headwaters area. Thousands of acres of beautiful crops are under water.

This seems to be a yearly happening and I can only imagine the frustration of farmers in the river basin.

Speaking of frustration, the battle with the smart phone continues. I am making progress, but only by baby steps.

This week I learned how to use it to operate my car phone, so now I have hands free communication while driving. There is a lot said about the danger of distracted drivers and I know of nothing more distracting to driving than using a cell phone while driving or worse, texting.

I hope you all had a most enjoyable 4th of July. I had a most relaxing day. I managed to get in 18 holes of golf on Thursday and nine more in Friday. I was playing as well as I have ever played. On Thursday I was on fire during the first nine.

I had two eagles, three birdies and four pars. Oh, I forgot to mention that I was playing one man best ball and every hole was a par five. My rules make me feel much better about my golf game.

On Friday evening we gathered at Curt and Lori’s place for burgers, brats, beans, chips and other good things that make a summer cookout special. A Cardinal win helped lighten the mood of the evening. As darkness was setting in, we all made our way out to the Lacey Complex. We gathered in a good spot and set up the lawn chairs for a session of watching fireworks. I could have used more clothes as it got a little chilly.

It was not a typical 4th of July.

The fireworks were good this year, but lacked the big aerial bombs that terrify dogs.

Saturday evening was very special to the Ancient-ess and I. We were invited to attend the Eddyville Class of 69 Reunion at the White Buffalo in Albia.

They had a great turnout and it was really a fun evening. After seeing 29 classes go through that institution, I had a hard

time placing who was in that class. But it didn’t take long to catch up and I must say that a neat bunch of kids made up that class.

I’m sure that most former teachers would join me in saying that the rewards of seeing kids as successful and vibrant citizens in this old world far outweigh any monetary rewards of teaching. Thank you Class of 69, you made my day.

The high school sports season is quickly drawing to a close and most conference races have been decided. Only the Little Hawkeye race is still up for grabs. In the baseball race it is Dallas Center-Grimes and Norwalk neck and neck going into the final week. Knoxville still has an outside chance, but the Panthers need some major help. In the softball race, DC-G has the lead, but Oskaloosa and Norwalk still have a shot. Osky plays doubleheaders with both DC-G and Norwalk this week and would have to sweep both times to get the title.

The softball regional tournaments begin this week. In Class 1-A, Tri-County opens Monday at Montezuma while North Mahaska waits until Wednesday to host the winner of Monday’s game between HLV and English Valleys. In Class 2-A, Pekin hosts Van Buren on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, Pella Christian hosts Cardinal or BGM while Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont hosts either Pleasantville or Central Decatur.

In Class 4-A, Pella hosts Grinnell on Thursday and that winner plays at Oskaloosa on Saturday. That winner moves on to the finals in Osky Tuesday against either Fairfield or Keokuk for the right to go to state.

The baseball districts begin Saturday with Sigourney taking on Keota at Pekin in Class 1-A and in Class 2-A, Pella Christian tangles with Albia at Eddyville while the host Rockets take on Cardinal. Class 3-A and 4-A pairings have not yet been released.

It is time once again to see what happened yesterday.

100 years ago: July 15, 1914 - The What Cheer Potters beat Belle Plaine 7-2 at Deep River. A long triple by Cowan with the bases full broke open the game.

75 years ago: July 11, 1939 – Blythe beats the Beach Wonders 14-10 in a slugfest at Hoyt’s Beach. Allsup led Blythe with three hits while France, Stewart, Parlett and McKane each had two. For the Wonders,

M. Miller, Gray and Bonnett each had three hits. July 13Kenneth Reid of Rose Hill, a former University of Iowa pitcher, has signed with the Chicago White Sox and will be assigned to St. Paul in the American Association.

50 years ago: July 11, 1964 - Centerville’s Rick Mathews hurled a no-hitter in a 10-0 win over Montezuma and Eddyville’s Jerry Schleier tossed a one-hitter and fanned 17 in an 8-0 win over North Mahaska in sectional play. July 13 - Dave Bair’s one-hit pitching powered the Oskaloosa Connie Mack team to a 9-2 win over the Bonaparte Legion team. Bair, Larry Lee, Kenny Lundy and Bob Swanson led the hitting attack. July 16 - Oskaloosa advances with a 6-2 win over Centerville. George Mattix pitched the win and blasted a two-run homer. July 17 - Eddyville survived a six run Pella rally to win 7-6 and advance to the sectional final against Oskaloosa. Roger Evans and Gordon Watkins each had a pair of singles for Eddyville while Craig Douwstra and Rex Van Dyke led Pella with doubles.

25 years ago: July 11, 1989 - Amy Smith homered, singled and pitched the win as North Mahaska beat Lynnville-Sully 8-6. Marcy Zimmerman singled three times, Laura Brannen singled twice and Angela Conover cracked a pinch hit home run for the Warhawks. July 11 Tri-County used an RBI single,

by Ryan Van Den Heuvel to get past DR—M 2-1 in sectional play. Scott Edmundson and Eric Stein combined to no-hit the Falcons. July 13 - Pekin sidelines Eddyville 11-10 in nine innings in sectional action.

Chad Bemis belted his second double of the game to drive in the winning run. Blaine Oakie had a pair of home runs for the Rockets. July 14 - No. 1 Pella Christian downs Ottumwa 9-1 as Emily Grimes fanned 11 batters and allowed only two hits.

Grimes also smacked three hits while Karen VandeVoort added a double and a single to drive in three runs. July 15 - North Mahaska topped Tri-County 6-2 to win the Class 1-A sectional title. Jim Hicklin pitched the win for the Warhawks. Blair DeJong ripped a triple and a double and Brett McGriff lashed a triple and a single to lead NM. Have a great week and boost your favorite team. I will leave you with this thought. If you top your hot fudge sundae with a crouton instead of a cherry, it will count as a salad.

Ponderings of the Heart

Keokuk County Society News

By Jane Green Larson

Yet, another farm story comes to mind! One of my chores was to milk the cows.

After the cows were milked each night, I opened the barn door and one by one, I opened the stalls so the cows could go out to the pasture. In the winter when temperatures were very low, the cows were allowed to stay in the barn all night and needless to say when morning came, the cows were anxious to get outside for some fresh air. One time a heavy covering of snow had fallen during the night and as I let them out of the barn I think they were surprised to find themselves knee deep in snow. However, they were ready for a fresh drink of water. It was about a quarter of a mile to walk before arriving at the spring where they would get a fresh filling drink. I followed the cows in knee high boots so I could break the ice with an axe and they would freely and heartily drink. They instinctively follow the same path they took each day when there was no snow on the ground. They knew where to go and where to put their feet; no shoveling was needed for me to walk behind them. It was easy to simply follow directly in their footsteps.

I simply put my boot covered feet directly in their footsteps.

My way was made easy because those thirsty cows made a narrow path for my feet.

The Bible tells us in Matthew 7:13-14, that we are to “enter in the straight gate; for wide is

the gate that leads to destruction and many there be which go in there at, because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.” We can be a part of that few who seek Him. We need to seek Jesus and let Him lead us and all we need to do is simply follow.

If we neglect to do so, we stray away from Him. I found in my own life that it isn’t always easy to stay close to Him. It is continually necessary to repent and ask Him to forgive my wrongdoings. The Bible says He is faithful and just to forgive us of any wrongdoing. It is a comfort to know we have an advocate with the Father God and we have someone to follow.

It is in Jesus Christ that we truly find everlasting life. God bless you this day.

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor June 16th was the last time Pekin’s baseball team lost a game. Two more wins last week in SEISC North play pushed the Panthers’ impressive winning streak to nine games before Monday’s double-header showdown with conference-leading Louisa-Muscatine.

A four-hit shutout by super sophomore Keaton Winn fueled the Panthers to a 6-0 win over Mediapolis last Tuesday. The Panthers quickly got Winn two runs of support in the first inning and added another run in the second. Pekin then added two insurance runs in the fourth and one more for good measure in the fifth; not that Winn needed it. Winn struck out eight Mediapolis batters and walked just one to improve his record to 5-1. Opposing hitters have recorded 15 hits in 172 at bats against win, which translates to a .087 batting average.

Kolby Allsup (.412), who is one of four Panthers hitting over .400, led the offensive effort against Mediapolis by going twofor-four with a double. Jaydan Nicholson also added a two-forfour effort in the 6-0 win. Cade Millikin (.424) and Winn (.438), who are also batting over .400, each doubled and combined to score three times. Petie Clubb added a hit and a run against Mediapolis and is batting .417 on the season.

Pekin Softball Up to Any Challenge 7-1 Pekin 8, Mediapolis 1 • 7-3 Pekin 5, WACO 1 7-2 Pekin 15, Winfield-Mt. Union 1

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor Pekin’s softball team and its big group of first-year starters have faced challenge after challenge this summer. Despite so many new faces, though, the Panthers have put together an excellent season and the attitude brought in by first-year head coach Allison Glick is a big reason for that.

“When I first got here I made sure I let the girls know I have a ton of confidence in them,” said Glick. “I knew this team had a lot of ability even though a lot of the girls didn’t have varsity experience. I saw what the girls did in track & field and I knew we’d have the speed to make things happen offensively. I’m really pleased with the girls; they’ve put in a lot of work.

Glick’s Panthers went a perfect 3-0 last week in their final stretch of the regular season, starting with an 8-1 win over Mediapolis. Pekin found itself trailing 1-0 early on, but responded over the next four innings in a big way. Two runs in both the second and third innings, followed by three in the fourth and one more in the fifth put Pekin in total control.

Eight hits, including two tory. Sloan did his thing on the mound, two. The senior gave up three hits and struck out seven in four innings of work.

Winn, Millikin and Cole Reighard each had two hits apiece, while Nicholson went one-for-one with three walks and three runs scored. Ryan Swanson added a single and scored three times, and Chase Copeland singled and walked.

The Panthers are in sole possession of second place in the conference at 11-4 and are 15-4 overall. Louisa-Muscatine is on top at 16-0, while Highland and Lone Tree each have five conference losses.

Pekin played a double header at Louisa-Muscatine on Monday, July 7, and then open up postseason play on Tuesday, July 15, at 7pm in Packwood. Should the Panthers win, they will play the winner of English Valleys and IMS on Thursday, July 17, at 7pm at Pekin.

each from Sloan Reighard and Madelyn Baker, gave the Panthers the offense they needed. Cassidy Tolle added a triple, two RBIs and two walks on the evening.

While Pekin’s bats were clicking against Mediapolis, so was the arm of pitcher Ashlyn Zook. Zook allowed three hits, struck out six and walked no one in seven innings of work to earn the win.

“Ashlyn has put in a lot of work,” Glick said. “Even though she’s a freshman, she has a good feel for how to pitch. She played on a few teams before the season started and that’s given her a jump on things.

Being a freshman has kind of given her the attitude that she has to prove herself every time out.”

Zook strutted her stuff again the next night against Winfield-Mt. Union, giving up three hits in five innings to help the Panthers win, 15-1.

Baker had four of the team’s nine hits and drove in one.

Pekin took advantage of some shaky pitching by the Wolves and drew a total of 14 walks on the night. The Panthers scored seven runs in the first inning to set the tone and eventually get the easy win.

Zook got her third win of the week the very next night against Louisa-Muscatine, but the story of the game was the performance by senior catcher Tiana Slaney. Slaney finished her night a perfect four-for-four at the plate; one of those hits was a homerun. Cassidy Tolle also had a big game in Pekin’s 5-1 win. The sophomore outfielder went three-for-three and also drew a walk.

Glick’s squad finished the regular season with 16 wins and 11 losses, including 12 wins and five losses in SEISC North play. Highland won the conference with a mark of 18-0, and Wapello finished second at 15-2.

The Panthers opened up Regional play in Class 2A Region 5 on Tuesday, July 8, at home against Van Buren. With a win, Pekin will play Highland at Riverside on Wednesday, July 9, at 7pm.

Savage Baseball Starting to Click Progressing Eagles Hang Tough Twice

7-1 Sigourney 12, Keota 2 • 7-2 SHS 4, Tri-County 16 • 7-3 SHS 11, Montezuma 7

7-1 Keota 2, Sigourney 12 • 7-3 Keota 1, Belle Plaine 8

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor A number of factors have been contributing to the recent run of great baseball being played by the Sigourney Savages: their bats are feasting on opposing pitchers, averaging almost ten runs per game in their last four wins; Cole Streigle is back and hitting almost .400; and their defense is much improved. All of those things have helped the Savages win games lately that they would’ve lost early in the season, including last Wednesday’s 11-7 win at Montezuma.

Sigourney got out fast against the Braves, scoring two runs in the first on a Streigle double that scored Shane Swearingen and on a Bryce Brown single that scored Streigle. The Braves matched Sigourney’s two-run first by scoring twice off starter Jake Van Ee in the bottom half, but the Savages regained the lead on an RBI single by Avery Moore that scored Gage Greiner. The good hitting Montezuma team stormed back, though, and proceeded to take a 5-3 lead into the fourth; but the Savages didn’t wilt. Sigourney displayed

its improved mental toughness and responded in a big way to score three runs on RBI singles

by Streigle, Peyton Crawford and Brown.

Van Ee and the Sigourney defense weren’t able to hold onto their lead for long, as the Braves scored twice in the fourth to take a 7-6 lead. Like clockwork, though, Sigourney’s bats answered. Two walks followed by Streigle’s third hit of the game loaded the bases for Crawford, who grounded out but drove in two runs on a fielding blunder by Montezuma.

Colby Kerkove followed with an RBI single to left that gave the Savages a 9-7 lead. Sigourney tacked on another run in the fifth and one in the sixth to gain a 11-7 lead that it wouldn’t let go of.

Streigle, Moore, Swearingen and Kerkove each had three hits on the night, and the Savages had 17 as a team. Van Ee picked up the win by allowing six hits and seven runs (five earned) in five innings of work. Kerkove sealed the deal with two solid innings to get the save.

The Savages suffered a tough loss the night prior to their big win at Montezuma, falling to

Sigourney’s Shane Swearingen doubled to the gap v. TriCounty [photo by Adam Meier].

Tri-County, 16-4. Swearingen led the way for Sigourney with a single, a double and a walk, while Kerkove also doubled.

Streigle took the loss on the mound.

Last Monday the Savages hosted rival Keota and picked up a 12-2 win. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the third when Sigourney took a 1-0 lead on a Keota error. Then the fireworks came. Two batters later Bryce Brown stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and unleashed a grand slam, and his first career homer, to left, giving his team a 6-0 lead.

The fireworks didn’t stop there.

In the bottom of the sixth Colby Kerkove went deep, clearing the centerfield fence and driving in three. The Savages added another run in the sixth and wound up winning by a count of 12-2. Crawford picked up the win by tossing six innings of

five-hit ball; he struck out 11 and walked one.

Kerkove (.380) finished with three hits and Crawford (.393) had two, including a double.

Brown’s four RBIs gave him a team-high 21 on the season, while his .327 average is the fifth highest behind Crawford, Kerkove, Swearingen (.357) and Streigle (.387 in nine games).

The Savages (5-14) hosted North Mahaska on Monday, before playing at Iowa Valley on Tuesday, July 8. The team then has a double header at BGM on Wednesday, plays at Belle Plaine on Thursday and then at Keota on Friday, July 11.

Sigourney opens up postseason play in Class 1A District 11 this Saturday, July 12, against Keota at Pekin at 7pm. The winner will play Pekin at Pekin on Tuesday, July 15, following the game between English Valleys and IMS, which starts at 5pm.

less frame from the Keota defense kept the Eagles’ deficit at 6-1 heading into the fifth inning. In the fifth, a one-out double to center

by Mousel got things cooking for the Eagles. Mousel reached third on a wild pitch and Sieren drove him in wit h a s ac rific e fly, c ut ting Sigourney’s lead to 6-2.

However, Sigourney added a run in the bottom half of the fifth and broke open the game in the sixth on a threerun homer by Colby Kerkove, helping the Savages earn the 12-2 win.

Mousel and Sieren each had two of the team’s five hits in the game; Eakins had the other. Mousel threw 114 pitches in five and one-third innings of work, and allowed nine hits.

Two days later the Eagles hosted Belle Plaine and played well again. A solid start on the mound by Sieren helped keep the Eagles in the game, but Keota’s offense simply couldn’t get the job done, as Belle Plaine got the win, 8-1. Sieren allowed eight hits in seven innings and struck out four. The sophomore also scored the team’s only run, which came in the seventh, and went one-forthree. Mousel, Eakins and Luke Greiner accounted for the team’s other three hits.

The Eagles hosted English Valleys on Monday, before hosting HLV on Wednesday, July 9. The team then has home games with LynnvilleSully on Thursday and with Sigourney on Friday, before playing Sigourney in Districts on Saturday, July 11, at 7pm in Pekin.

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor A team with as little experience as Keota’s isn’t approached in the same manner as a team full of established upperclassmen. With a roster that includes seven eighth graders, two freshmen and four sophomores, the Keota baseball team is anything but established; but it’s getting there.

Building the groundwork for a team as young and unseasoned as the Eagles is a process that requires two things: patience and progress; and last week we saw plenty of progress.

Keota started its week at Sigourney on Monday and held its own for a good portion of the game. Zach Mousel took the ball on the hill and pitched with an edge early on. Mousel struck out Sigourney’s first bat ter looking and then retired two of the next three batters to hold the Savages scoreless. Mousel and the Keota defense then recorded a one-two-three inning that started with Mousel’s second strikeout of the game.

Sigourney got to Mousel and the Eagles in the third inning in a big way. Already with two runs in, the Savages got four more on a grand slam by junior Bryce Brown.

Trailing by a score of 6-0, the Eagles’ offense decided to make some noise in the top of the fourth. A leadoff single

by Nate Sieren followed by a John Mather walk started the surge and an RBI single by Jack Eakins brought home Keota’s first run of t he game . Ano t he r s c o re-

Trojans Top Sigourney, Fall to BGM 7-1 Tri-County 3, BGM 18 7-2 Tri-County 16, SHS 4

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor BGM’s baseball team is ranked 8th in Class 1A and hasn’t lost in the SICL; TriCounty saw why last Tuesday.

The Bears knocked out TriCounty starter Jake Brumbaugh in just two innings and took down the Trojans, 18-3.

BGM scored two in the top of the first and then went on a 12-run rampage in the second inning. Brumbaugh allowed 14 runs on seven hits in two innings, but only two of those 14 runs were earned, meaning 12 of BGM’s 14 runs off Brumbaugh came via errors or walks.

TC’s offense plated two runs in the second and one in the third, but BGM’s lead was far too great. The Trojans recorded six hits off BGM senior Zac Freese, including a double by Tyler Lally. The Bears had four doubles in the game and also got homeruns from Jack Kline and Kyle Gritsch.

Savages’ Bats Explode in Final Week 7-1 Sigourney 11, Belle Plaine 0 • 7-2 Sigourney 12, Tri-County 0 7-3 Sigourney 18, Montezuma 1 next night with a bizarre 16-4 win at Sigourney. Tri-County’s offense only tallied five hits in the entire game, yet somehow scored 16 runs. How? The answer is that the Trojans drew 14 walks off of Sigourney pitchers.

TC scored seven first-inning runs and added six in the third and three in the fourth. Jacob Weber and Trenton Steinke each walked three times, while Austin Blythe led the team in hits with two. Nick Watts and Blythe each scored three runs to help give the Trojans their ninth win of the year. Lally picked up the win on the mound by tossing five innings of six-hit ball.

The Trojans hosted Montezuma on Monday, July 7, before playing at English Valleys on Wednesday. The team wraps up its regular season at home against Iowa Valley on Friday, before playing Montezuma in New Sharon at 5pm on Tuesday, July 15, in district play.

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor By outscoring its opponents by a combined 41-1, the Sigourney softball team couldn’t have finished the regular season any better. The Savages finished up at 17-2 in the South Iowa Cedar League, which landed them in second place behind Lynnville-Sully.

The team began its week with an 11-0 win over Belle Plaine. The Savages went off for 16 hits, including four doubles and two triples, in the win. Jordan Carter and Emily Danowsky each had perfect four-for-four days, while Carter allowed three hits in five innings to pick up the win. Becca Ohland, Brooke Waechter and Karah Appleget each added two hits apiece,

China Ag Study Tour Review By

Darren Luers

and both Sydney and Sierra Davis had one.

Next up was a home date with Tri-County that marked the last regular-season home game for Sigourney’s six seniors. Much like the Belle Plaine game the night before, this one was over quickly. The Savages rattled off eight runs in the second inning and ended the game in four by scoring one in the third and three in the fourth.

Sigourney had just six hits in the 12-0 win over TC, but ten stolen bases and six walks gave the offense what it needed.

Ohland led the charge on offense with a double and three RBIs. Danowsky also had a nice game, going one-for-one with a walk, three steals and

English Valleys’ Claire Kingland picked up the win v. Keota. Details on this game and more in next week’s edition.
