Just like the past year, Sunday’s graduation at Riverdale High School in Port Byron had its moments when the power grid briefly went down before the ceremony, the winds whipped through the football field, and a car alarm in the parking went off.

But also like the past year, the graduating class worked through the challenges by keeping their heads up, with smiles on their faces and their eyes on the prize.

In the end, they celebrated with diplomas in hand, loved ones close by, and the world at their feet.

Summa Cum Laude addresses were given by Boston Leighty who encouraged his classmates to go and move mountains and always expect more (but pay less) and Chase Lockaby, who called his classmates the guinea pigs of e-learning while reminding them to treasure the experiences of life, as all things come to an end.

The concert choir and senior high band gave a final performance to the audience, and the commencement address was given

by Superintendent Josh Temple.

The Senior Class Song was “Six Feet Apart” by Luke Combs, which Temple called “ridiculously relevant” after the year they’d just gone through. He also said the Class of 2021 will have a greater perspective than most after the challenges of the past year, but there was always light after dark.

“Congrats, you made it through 12 years of school and a pandemic,” he said in closing.

Members of the Riverdale Class of 2021 are: Garrett Almanza, David Arney, Chase Ballard, ^*Addison Brock, Tanner Burklund, Lucas Butterfield, Dalton Cath-

Chase Lockaby told his classmates they had two and half years of normalcy in high school before the Covid-19 pandemic changed everything.

Boston Leighty told his classmates that after 17,000 hours spent on a strip of land between cornfields, their time at Riverdale has ended.

Main Avenue in Cordova was hopping on Saturday, June 5 as Cordova District Library’s annual Paint the Road returned after a one-year hiatus due to Covid-19. With two separate painting sessions and 140 pre-painted white squares and circles, the toddlers, tweens, teens, and adults had an hour to get creative and make their mark on the road along the river, which will remain until next year’s event.

The library provided the brushes and paint, and the Cordova Fire Department treated the painters with Whitey’s ice cream shakes.

New board sworn in, plans announced for Cordova Day

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Cordova’s newly elected officials took their Oath of Office at the meeting on Thursday, May 20.

Village President Jim Boone and trustees Tammy Havens, Jeff Claus, and Della Scott were sworn in by Village Clerk Melissa Bowman. Incumbents Boone and Scott have been on the board for four-year terms and Havens was appointed to the board two years ago. All were sworn in for a four-year term.

The board discussed plans for Cordova Day on Saturday, July 10, which will include a parade, fireworks at dusk, River Cities Rotary food stand, live music by Bibs & Boots, raffles, fundraiser activities, free child safety kits, and a K-9 demonstration by the Rock Island County Sheriff’s Department. New this year will be a car show, with participants registering the day of the event at the Cordova Civic Center.

Last year’s annual celebration

was cancelled due to Covid-19, so the board has been hard at work prepping for this year. “It’s been lots of work and planning, but it’s going to be a very exciting event,” said Boone.

In development updates, work continues at the 10th St. boat launch, with plans to survey property lines, build and install a new retaining wall on the east side to give more parking, and repair the road approach. At Legion’s Landing, IMEG Engineering has been getting the final specs together for bidding for new docks, landscaping, a parking lot, and a boat ramp.

In other updates: new playground mulch was recently delivered, and all the playgrounds were cleaned up; road and alley repairs with MFT, TIF, and streets and alley funds will start this summer after the IDOT gives approval; equipment was recently purchased to upgrade the lift stations; and the Finance committee is working to get CARES and Rebuild Illinois funds, and grants through Bi-State Regional Commission.

BASEBALL - REGIONAL SEMIFINAL

BY ERIC INGLES

eingles@shawmedia ROCK FALLS – A three-run first and a three-run second got Rock Falls going on Friday in the regional semifinal against Riverdale.

Some clutch relief work by Brady Richards and taking advantage of Rams mistakes for some insurance runs helped secure the Rockets’ 10-6 win over the Rams.

Richards came on in relief in the top of the sixth, with the Rams having already scored four runs in the inning off two different Rockets pitchers. He came on with two runners on base and a 3-2 count on Riverdale pitcher Aiden Nelson, and needed just one pitch to strike Nelson out to end the inning and strand those two Rams.

The Rockets (8-13-1) built a 10-2 lead heading into the top of the sixth, but the Rams were able to chip away.

Rock Falls starter Chase Chappell, having thrown 79 pitches through five innings, allowed an infield single to Jacob Griffin to lead off the sixth, then Bryce Ditto doubled and Trent Doty walked on four pitches.

That led to a pitching change,

bringing Dillon Schueler to the mound, but after a comebacker to the mound led to a force out at the plate for the first out, he walked the next two batters to force in a pair of runs, and two more scored on wild pitches. But Richards then worked out of that jam, stranding two of the eight runners Riverdale left on base in the game.

Riverdale finally broke through in the third, getting a walk and a double to open the inning and an RBI ground out and a sacrifice fly to bring both runs home.

The Rockets scored three runs in the first, loading the bases on a pair of walks and an infield single. But with one out, Victor Rivera grounded into a potential 4-6-3 double play.

He beat the throw to first, allowing Chase Chappell to score, and the throw was off the mark, allowing Gavin Sands to score.

Brady Richards then followed with an RBI single to drive in Rivera, facing a 1-2 count before a pitch that barely missed the plate for ball two, then lacing the next pitch the opposite way to left, where Doty dove for it but was unable to come up with the catch.

But Nelson settled in from there, eventually working 4 1/3 innings, striking out four, walking four, and allowing four runs.

“He’s our senior and he’s been our senior leader all year,” Peterson said. “I just wanted to give him a chance to bring us back, down 6-0, knowing that if it’s his last game, it’s his last chance to get the job done for us.”

Rock Falls had a chance to add to the lead in the bottom of the third, loading the bases with one out on a pair of infield singles and a hit batsman. But an infield fly and a grounder got Riverdale out of that threat.

Rock Falls added a run in the fourth when Luke Akerman scored on a Brady Richards groundout, then scored three in the fifth as Tyler Richards scored on a wild pitch, Sands beat a throw to the plate scoring from third on a grounder to short, and Rivera doubled off the fence in left-center to drive in Schueler.

With no tournament (and no season at all) in 2020 and a first-round exit in 2019, this is Rock Falls’ first postseason win since beating Dixon 3-2 in a regional semifinal in 2018.

For Shaw Media David Arney, a senior at Riverdale High School, has broken the school’s triple jump record that’s been on the books for 41 years.

Arney set the new record during a meet at Orion High School on May 26. The old record of 43 ft. 2 in. was set in 1980 by foreign exchange student Fagerhorn.

Arney holds the David Arney new record of 43 ft.

8.5 in. He also holds the school’s long jump record.

“It was nice to have a season this year and I was just trying to make the most of it. I honestly forgot about the record, so finding out I broke it was a great surprise,” he said of the accomplishment Arney was also on the football, basketball, and track teams while in high school. He’ll be going to St. Ambrose University in Davenport, IA and will compete in track and field.

Riverdale bass team places fourth at state

By JASON BENOIT

Riverdale bass team head coach

On May 21 and 22, the Riverdale bass team competed in the IHSA State Bass Fishing finals on Lake Carlyle in Carlyle against 81 other teams. Riverdale finished in fourth for the tournament, the highest finish in program history.

The Rams’ team of Landon Dalaska, Brennan Franklin, Evan Verbeckmoes and Michael Benoit was able to punch its ticket to the state finals by winning the Mississippi River Sectional, which was May 6 on Pool 13 of the Mississippi River. The team put together a five fish limit of 17 pounds, 12 ounces, which was the largest weight in the entire state in the sectional tournaments. Jay Burggraf, the boat captain, said they “lost a couple of fish early but fortunately it didn’t cost the boys a chance at the state tournament.” Burggraf was able to keep the team focused on quality fish.

Head coach Jason Benoit and the team headed to Lake Carlyle on May 20 to pre-fish the lake. The team was able to put together a solid pattern on a lake that is notoriously difficult to fish. The team was able to find several fish in a couple of specific areas.

Michael Benoit and Dalaska started the first day by catching a couple of short fish. Dalaska put the first keeper in the boat around 9 a.m. The team moved through several productive areas, but the fish were not cooperating. At 11 a.m., the team only had one fish in the boat. In the afternoon, Franklin and Dalaska were able to catch two more legal but small fish. The team hooked a good fish around 1 p.m., but unfortunately it came unbuttoned before they could get a net under it.

“It was a little discouraging, but the boys did a great job of staying focused and concentrating on the next bite,” Jason Benoit said.

With less than an hour left, the team

caught its final fish of the day. After the first day, the team had four fish for a total of 4 pounds, 8 ounces, which had Riverdale in 16th place.

“This speaks to just how difficult of a fishery Carlyle can be,” Jason Benoit said.

Franklin and Dalaska started the second day by again putting a keeper fish in the boat by 9 a.m. The team rotated through its productive areas and was able to put two more small fish in the boat.

In the afternoon, Michael Benoit and Dalaska concentrated on filling the limit. They were able to boat a nice fish around noon.

One of the productive areas the boys had fished earlier was being fished by a crappie fisherman. “We waited around the area until the fisherman left, and we quickly moved to the area and immediately caught another nice fish,” Jason Benoit said.

Dalaska hooked the final fish – Riverdale’s biggest fish of the tournament – around 2:30 p.m. Dalaska and Michael Benoit did a nice job of working together to get the fish in the boat.

Led by Dalaska, Riverdale had the third-largest bag of the day at 9 pounds, 8 ounces for a two-day total of 14

pounds, 4 ounces. The effort put the team in first place for quite some time, but with four boats left to weigh in, Riverdale had to settle for fourth in the state.

“All the boys did a great job fishing hard on a difficult lake, giving themselves an opportunity to contend for the championship,” Jason Benoit said.

“Special recognition to Landon Dalaska

for fishing exceptionally.

“With several quality anglers still on the Riverdale bass team, the future looks bright.”

Jason Benoit extended special thanks to volunteers Deputy Jim Miller, Burggraf, Scott Watson and Tim Pettit, and thanks to Tim Baldwin and Brandon Wainwright for providing opportunities to practice.

CLASS 2A SOFTBALL REGIONAL: ERIE-PROPHETSTOWN 1, ROCK FALLS 0

By TY REYNOLDS PROPHETSTOWN – All game long June 3, the Erie-Prophetstown softball team put pressure on Rock Falls with scoring chance after scoring chance.

Every time, the Rockets were up to the challenge – until the final inning.

After missing scoring opportunities in four of the first six innings, the Panthers finally broke through with a run on a walk-off suicide squeeze in the bottom of the seventh inning for a 1-0 win in a Class 2A Prophetstown Regional semifinal.

“Early in that game, I took some chances, and it’s some of those as a coach that you end up hoping they don’t come back and bite you in the butt,” Erie-Prophetstown coach Kerrie Tenboer said. “At the end there, I called over Mya [Jones] and was thinking to myself, ‘How many chances have we had to score and we haven’t today?’ I just decided to switch it up there at the end.”

After Abby Whiles wiggled off the hook all game long, throwing up matching zeros with E-P pitcher Aylah Jones, the Panthers (17-5) used small ball to come up with the win.

Emma Davis led off the seventh with a walk, and moved to second on Jaden Johnson’s sacrifice bunt.

“I just needed to get on base. That was my only job,” Davis said. “I didn’t need to have a big hit. Just do something to get on base.”

Erie-Prophetstown’s Emma Davis (right) scores the winning run on a suicide squeeze bunt as Rock Falls catcher Olivia Osborne looks on in the bottom of the seventh inning of the Class 2A regional semifinal June 3 in Prophetstown.

Ady Scott hit a line drive to left field.

The ball glanced off the glove of Rock Falls’ Zoe Morgan, putting runners on second and third with one out.

Tenboer called timeout and had a short conference with Mya Jones before her plate appearance.

“Coach pulled me over and basically said, ‘Second pitch, you’re doing a suicide squeeze,’” Mya Jones said. “So the

first pitch I was getting it in my head that we were doing the suicide squeeze, and I just was focused on getting the bunt down. I had to get it down and we’d win the game, so that’s all I was thinking about.

“My mindset was that if we got another chance to score [in the seventh inning], we’d get it done. I didn’t want Aylah to have to pitch another inning.”

After a first-pitch strike, Mya Jones laid down the bunt toward third base.

With Davis sprinting down the line toward the plate, Rock Falls’ Karli Fischbach charged and tried to scoop the ball with her glove to catcher Olivia Osborne, but it bounced off the edge of Fischbach’s glove and rolled away as Davis scored the winning run.

“I was just running as fast as I can,” Davis said. “Coach told me the pitch before that we were going to do it, and I just took off. It was really exciting when I slid across home plate.”

Before that play, it was a scoreless pitchers’ duel between Aylah Jones and Whiles. Jones struck out 13 and walked one in a one-hitter, throwing 67 of her 97 pitches for strikes. She worked 1-2-3 innings in the second, fourth and seventh, and allowed a runner to second base only three times. No Rockets player advanced to third. Nicolette Udell’s double to lead off the third was the only Rock Falls hit.

“Mostly screwball. That’s usually my go-to pitch,” Aylah Jones said about what was working best for her.

“Usually the screwball always throws them off because it moves around and is rising on them. Riseballs were working today, too. It seemed like they could never get around on it.”

“She’s been amazing all year, really strong for us, and she was on today,” Tenboer said. “She’s a workhorse, so she’s going to keep pushing through. She never lets down on us, so that’s great.”

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD SECTIONAL

Morrison’s Jordan Gallentine sweeps sprints with season-best times

By BRIAN WEIDMAN EDGINGTON – There was a new version of the Jordan Rules on display May 28 at the Class 1A Rockridge Girls Track and Field Sectional.

This version starred Jordan Gallentine, a Morrison senior who ruled the sprints – the last race in spectacular fashion.

Gallentine led a strong contingent of local athletes to the 1A state finals in Charleston.

The lone Morrison state qualifier, Gallentine was clocked at 12.9 seconds in the 100 and 59.45 in the 400. She capped her night by going 27.08 in the 200.

Each race was a season-best time.

“That was my goal, for sure, but I didn’t think that I would actually accomplish that goal,” Gallentine said of her sprint sweep. “I’m really proud of myself. I knew I had to trust my training

Alex T. Paschal - apaschal@shawmedia.com

Morrison’s Jordan Gallentine wins her heat in the 100-meter dash May 28. and trust the process. I worked all season for tonight, so it paid off.”

The 200 was particularly satisfying.

She trailed Amboy’s Lauren Althaus and Bureau Valley’s Kamryn Kolb before overtaking them down the stretch. Althaus (27.10) edged Kolb (27.11) for second place.

“I didn’t think I would get it at first,”

Gallentine said, “but my finish, I gave it all I could. I saw that I was moving past, so I just finished as hard as I could.”

Erie-Prophetstown finished the meet in style as the foursome of Dylan Chandler, Jade Nickerson, Kennedy Buck and Riley Packer won the 1,600 relay in 4:19.63. The victory sliced more than 11 seconds off their seed time.

“I think we all ran our best times,” Chandler said. “We all just really pushed it because of how bad we wanted it.”

Erie-Prophetstown’s Hayley Wuebben and Olivia Purvis each cleared 2.59 meters (8 feet, 6 inches) in the pole vault.

Wuebben, a junior, won a vault-off by clearing 2.75 meters (9 feet).

“This was my first year vaulting, and having Hayley was a big help,” said Purvis, a freshman.

Both are under the guidance of longtime vault coach Tom Unruh, who is retiring after this season.

Buck took second in the shot put at 10.97 meters. Packer took second in the 800 in 2:26.95.

The Panthers also were second in the 3,200 relay with a time of 11:19.17.

Fulton was runner-up in the 400 relay (52.87) and 800 relay (1:53.64) to earn state trips.

CLASS 2A REGIONAL SOFTBALL

Erie-Prophetstown falls to Oregon in regional final

BY ERIC INGLES

eingles@shawmedia.com Strikeouts were coming one after another in Saturday’s Class 2A regional softball final at Oregon Park West.

Erie-Prophetstown’s Aylah Jones struck out 15 batters, walking no one. Oregon’s Mia Trampel struck out 11.

Trampel’s 11th strikeout was the final out of the top of the seventh, ending it in a 2-0 Hawks’ win.

Oregon’s fifth-inning rally started with a strikeout as well.

Coming up to pinch hit in what was then a scoreless tie with one out in the fifth, Oregon’s Katelyn Bowers reached up to bunt a two-strike pitch up and out of the zone. She missed it, but so did Panthers catcher Mak Glassburn, allowing Bowers to race for first as the ball went back to the screen.

Bowers later stole second, and scored when Reilee Suter ripped a two-out double to left.

“The first [pitch] was just a normal pitch and then the second one I swung at was a rise and it was foul,” Suter said. “Then there was a couple balls, and someone in the stands said ‘it’s not going to be a rise’ so I got prepared for not rise, and it wasn’t a rise.”

Suter scored moments later, as

Bella Koertner singled up the middle to make it 2-0.

That was all the offense Trampel needed in the circle. She pitched one-two-three innings in the second, fourth and sixth, and worked her way out of jams several times. Jones led off the first with a walk, but was stranded at second to end the inning.

Jaiden Oleson led off the fifth with a single to left, eventually working her way around to third before a strikeout ended that inning. In the seventh, Corrie Remley led off with a single to right, but a strikeout, a pop out to first and another strikeout ended that inning and the game.

Erie-Prophetstown (17-6) had its biggest threat in the third. After Sydney Schwartz drew a one-out walk, Jones and Emma Davis bunted their way aboard to load the bases.

But the Hawks got out of that threat when a ball hit back to the circle turned into a 1-2-3 double play.

The Panthers stranded six runners in the game and had four runners in scoring position, but were unable to score.

“I just told the girls at the end of the game that we’ve been scoring multiple runs a game all season long, and the same thing happened against Rock Falls the other night, we had girls in scoring position and, for whatever reason we just can’t get the extra base hit we need to

score those runs,” Erie-Prophetstown coach Kerrie Tenboer said.

“We had lots of opportunities and it just didn’t go our way.”

Trampel was able to rely on her fielders when she needed to. Remley twice had hard-hit balls directly at Oregon infielders. Glassburn had a sharp line drive with two outs in the sixth directly at Suter at shortstop.

Trampel needed every bit of that defense with Oregon’s hitters able to do little against Jones most of the way. A bunt single in the first and an infield single in the second failed to produce any runs. Lena Trampel ripped a double to left in the fourth, the first ball any Oregon player had hit out of the infield in the game and in the process breaking a string of seven strikeouts in a row from Jones.

“Screwballs and riseballs always worked,” Jones said. “That’s my go-to pitch.

“Coach Tenboer always knows what to call. She knows the right sequence and she always knows what’s working for me.”

After the string of seven strikeouts, which included striking out the side in the third, she struck out four batters in the fifth and two more in the sixth.

“She’s been our rock every single time she’s been on the mound for us,” Tenboer said. “She was throw-
