Fry stresses hometown, conservative values during fundraiser

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

When Rep. Joel Fry, ROsceola, started his first campaign for state representative years ago, three words came to his mind — listen, learn and lead.

“That’s what we used in our first campaign. I used it in my second campaign, and I’m not going to change it because these are the values which I believe we as representatives of you should have when we are leading on behalf of you all,” Fry said during a political fundraiser Friday, Sept. 5, at Boyt Harness.

More Republicans In attendance at the Republican fundraiser were Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, Sen. Amy Sinclair, R-Allerton, Sam Clovis, who is running for state treasurer, and Bill Black who is running for Clarke County supervisor.

“Not only do we have

great people like Joel running for the House and great candidates in the Senate, we have a statewide ticket that is unbelievable!” Reynolds said.

“They are working so hard and traveling through the state.”

Reynolds said Sept. 25 is the first day for absentee voting.

Fry, a Republican incumbent candidate who is seeking re-election for Iowa’s House District 27, is facing off against Democratic candidate Fred Diehl in the November elections.

Diehl is the long-serving mayor of Osceola.

Beliefs Fry said he learned the values of listening, learning and leading from his parents and grandparents, and comes from a line of farming and small business. Fry and his wife currently own two small businesses.

OFFICIALLY APPROVED City council approves large, small versions of Osceola’s new logo

Rep. Joel Fry, R-Osceola, gives a round of applause as he introduces people during his political fundraiser Friday, Sept. 5, at Boyt Harness.

Osceola officially has a new city logo.

During a Sept. 2 Osceola City Council meeting, the council approved the “map” logo design that was presented earlier this summer.

“Really, the intention of this logo is to be so diversified that there really isn’t a limit to what you can put into it,” said Andrew Clark with Spoke Communications, a consultant on the logo project.

The logo is now city property.

Lots of work The new city of Osceola logo has been a year-long project.

There have been several public meetings and a committee was formed to help design the logo.

Eventually, the new logo will be found on city vehicles, business cards, signage, letterheads, shirts and more.

The new logo is actually two different versions that are essentially the same design. There’s a large version of the logo, as well as a smaller one.

The logo design could also be used for different city departments with the GPS locator, by incorporating a First Aid cross for emergency personnel such as police officers or firefighters.

Clark said the intention of the locator pin is to show where something is at, where the city of Osceola is and what is offered throughout the city.

“That pin, that map pin means something, and it’s always where you want to be,” Clark said.

Different wording?

Earlier in the meeting, Robert Conrad of Osceola presented examples to the city council on other phrases that could be used in the logo, instead of “Proud of our history. Ready for the future.”

What appeared to be a popular phrase from Conrad’s examples was “Great People. Great Location. The Spirit of Osceola.”

OBITUARIES

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Maxine Roberts Leon

Maxine Roberts, 91, of Leon, formerly of Creston, died Sept.

2, 2014, at Westview A c r e s Care Center in Roberts Leon.

Services were 11 a.m. Friday, Sept. 5, at Graceland Cemetery Chapel, south of Creston. Mary O’Riley

officiated. Burial was in Graceland Cemetery, south of Creston. Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, Creston, was in charge of arrangements. Memorials may be given to the family. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Maxine Gertrude (Green) Roberts, daughter of Blanche Lee (Marvin) and Jake Leonard Green, was born June 9, 1923, in Weldon.

In February 1957, Maxine married Ernest Leeps.

She lived and worked her early years in Clarke Coun-

ty. Maxine was a homemaker.

She and Ernest divorced in 1967.

On Aug. 17, 1970, Maxine married Paul Lee Roberts in Unionville, Mo. They settled in Creston and lived most of their married life in Union County.

Maxine cleaned houses for Creston area families and worked for Vane and Mary Ann Lindsay. They moved to Van Wert to live with her son. Paul died in January 2007.

Maxine moved to Leon in June 2010.

Maxine is survived by her

sons, Darvin (wife Gabe) Leeps of Van Wert and David (wife Donna) Leeps of Creston; step-daughters, Rebecca White of Fallon, Nev., and Loretta (husband Sonny) Sewell of Norman, Okla.; and numerous grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

In addition to her husband Paul, Maxine was preceded in death by her parents, son Leonard Green, grandson Joe Beck, granddaughter Tommie Mae Leeps; sisters, Viola Marohn and Mary at birth; and brothers, Marvin, Leonard and Orville Green.

Joe and Joanie Boggs recognized with Governor Award Joe and Joanie Boggs of Weldon were honored at a special ceremony at the Iowa State Fair where they received the Iowa Farm Environmental Leader Award from Gov. Terry Branstad.

This is the third year for the award, which is a joint effort between the governor, Lt. governor, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and Iowa Department of Natural Resources to recognize the efforts of Iowa’s farmers as environmental leaders committed to healthy soils and improved water quality.

The Boggs’ raise corn, soybeans and cattle on their southern Iowa farm where Joe began farming at 14

years old when he rented his first 40 acres.

In presenting the award, Branstad said the award seeks to recognize the exemplary voluntary actions of farmers that improve or protect the environment and natural resources of our state while also encouraging other farmers to follow in their footsteps by building success upon success.

“It recognizes those that have taken steps in their farming operations to serve as local leaders in environmental stewardship on their farms, utilizing a variety of techniques and best management practices. As environmental leaders, these farmers have adopted best

management practices and incorporated environmental stewardship throughout their farming operations,” Branstad said.

The nomination for the Boggs’ was submitted by the Rathbun Land and Water Alliance, and stated the Boggs’ try to make one land improvement each year.

They said they have lived and farmed in the same location long enough to see the damage soil erosion can do. Joe bought a dozer 20 years ago and has been using it ever since to make improvements to his farmland.

“The Boggs’ installed 11,000 feet of terraces through the Protect Rathbun Lake Project, which

reduces the amount of sediment delivered to Rathbun Lake by 160 tons per year and 720 pounds of phosphorous each year,” the nomination stated.

In 2007, the Boggs’ were recognized as Rathbun Lake Protectors at the Alliance’s annual meeting for their conservation actions.

“True stewards of the land, Joe and Joanie recognize that improved water quality and soil sustainability reaps benefits that extend beyond their fields to reach the citizens of Iowa and beyond, and have made environmental stewardship a priority on their farms.

We thank them for their efforts,” Branstad said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Branstad’s treatment of water, agriculture

By Karon Finn Creston

Quoting from Sherrie Taha, Democratic candidate for secretary of agriculture: “If you eat ... If you drink water ...

If you breathe air in Iowa ... Then ...

You have a personal stake in how the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship works!”

We also have a personal stake in who the governor is. Who the secretary of agriculture is. Who our state representative is. Who the state senator is. Who the United State senator is. Who the United States representative is.

In May 2010, approximately 500,000 central Iowa customers received a letter in their water bill from the Des Moines Water Works stating: “Recent spring melting caused significant water quality concerns for Des Moines Water Works. In particular, high ammonia levels have been present in our rivers from livestock runoff and other upstream land uses. Many customers may have noticed chlorine taste and smell in their drinking water during the early spring months. Weeks of disinfection treatment was necessary to reduce runoff impacts, however, disinfection has its own risks.”

From Shel Silverstein’s book, “Where the Sidewalk Ends,” and

his poem, “Lazy Jane,” with a few changes by me: “Clueless, clueless, clueless, clueless, clueless, clueless Average Joe and Jane, they want a drink of water so they wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait for it to rain.”

The water alert from Des Moines Water Works should be a wake-up call to all Iowans and a call to action to advocate for cleaner source waters and to question whether voluntary water protection measures work.

The Branstad administration has been very obstructive when it comes to protecting our waterways. The administration has also refused to grant local control to our elected county officials.

The Adair County Supervisors three times turned down the building and expansion of hog confinements in Adair County.

Now, the Branstad Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has overturned the local county decision and the only recourse left to the neighbors around the confinements is to go to the Environmental Protection Commission (EPC), which is a ninemember board stack with five members appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad. Those five members have a financial interest in owning or building confinements in the state of Iowa.

How unfair is the Branstad administration? Is this how Iowans should treat fellow Iowans?

Victim Assistance grants Rep. Joel Fry

According to Fry, his conservative values include the belief in life and traditional marriage.

“Those are two values that I will not surrender when I stand before you all at the capitol,” he said.

As Republicans, it’s everybody’s job to help make the country economy better, Fry said.

“I appreciate your comments of making sure we can help the middle and lower class figure out how to better themselves through their own savings accounts, not through ours,” he said. “I believe Medicaid is there for a hand up. It’s there to help. It’s also there then for the next person when they need it.”

Fry also discussed farmers who say

The Fry Times

House District 27 joel.fry@legis.state.ia.us

The House Oversight committee called a meeting on Sept. 8 to investigate how money from the Victim Assistance grants is being distributed and if this money is being used to serve the best interest of the victims.

Victim Assistance grants are awarded to help fund the operating costs of sexual and domestic abuse hotlines in the state, emergency shelter services, Domestic Abuse Comprehensive Services and Sexual Abuse Comprehensive Services. These services assist victims with shelter, transportation, counseling, programming for children, community education, training and support for allied professionals and other essential services for victims of sexual and domestic abuse.

Victim Assistance grants are designed to provide services to victims at the local level.

Through this review, the committee’s goal will be to determine if taxpayer money has been misspent or improperly documented. The CVAD and these grants exist to ensure victims receive the assistance

they desperately need and that the money given to these organizations is truly used to help victims.

In 2013, the Victim Assistance grant program went through a redesign in an effort to provide better services to victims across the state. This redesign was supposed to help reduce some costs associated with underutilized shelters as well as provide better localized service to victims.

In 2014, a budget of $6.7 million was requested for Victim Assistance grants. Representatives were concerned that the cost of the program had not decreased after the redesign.

Since costs were not being re-

duced, we pushed for changes to be made to the Victim Assistance Grants program.

These changes will make the Victim Assistance Grants program more transparent and ensure tax payer dollars are truly helping victims.

While the changes enacted this session will help create more transparency, there still appear to be problems facing the Victim Assistance grants program.

Representatives have been reviewing reimbursement claims and have found unresolved issues. We want to ensure the Victim Assistance grants are helping victims in the best way possible and have called an Oversight meeting to review the practices of the Victim Assistance grants program.

“Our mission is twofold: are taxpayers’ dollars being spent wisely and is that money getting to those victims in need,” said Rep. Koester. “House Republicans began looking at the CVAD program and asking questions about the administrative procedures of the program during budget negotiations in 2014. Unfortunately, we still have questions that we need answers to. We’re determined to get the facts.”

it’s necessary to get the EPA out of businesses.

“When the EPA all of a sudden wants to run our water, they want to tell us what standing water is or where flowing is and how we have to manage our farms, government is reaching too far,” he said.

Honor serving As Fry finished his speech, he said it’s a honor to serve the state’s district 27.

“It’s an honor to be able to stand on the ticket with such phenomenal people who have great integrity,” he said. “I ask for your support over the next few weeks. I know that the rest of the Republican ticket does, as well.

Folks, get out there and encourage people to vote.”

Parking meters

By Marie White

Clarke County Historical Society

In 1950, a proposal for parking meters in Osceola was defeated. In 1953, a proposal made by a representative of a parking meter company for meters was again soundly defeated by a vote of the council after a hot session with local citizens.

Public opinion was strongly against the parking meters.

On May 3, 1954, Osceola City Council signed a contract with a company for approximately 285 parking meters for around the square. The meters were to cost about $18,000, installed on a six-month trial and to be placed on both sides of the streets around the square.

The council’s action of entering into a contract to purchase the meters wasn’t generally known until a week later when information filtered out by various routes.

The mayor said a clause in the contract was that the city draw up an ordinance for the meters operation. There was no ordinance and the contract was invalid, the mayor believed.

The city fathers were on alert to keep the shipment of meters out of town and thwart the meter company’s threat they had a contract and would install the meters themselves if the city wouldn’t. The Osceola police had already delivered an order to the railway station agent that the city would refuse the shipment of the meters the company threatened to send.

Excitement began one morning when merchants arrived around the square to open their stores for business and along the curb were chalked little

circles with “X’s” in the center.

Tension mounted swiftly.

Merchants and bystanders gathered in little groups. It appeared that those who would install the parking meters had come in the night and marked the spots where the meters would be. The marks were in front of the stores where the proprietors were most opposed to the parking meters.

The curbs marked were in front of the hotel, taverns, whiskey store and several other places.

The mayor went to city hall to launch the investigation. He learned the meters had not arrived. A little interrogation by the mayor with the superintendent of streets brought out the fact two city street employees had placed the chalk marks

along the curb as a practical joke.

The mayor gave the employees 10 minutes to start cleaning the marks. Thirty minutes later, there wasn’t a chalk mark showing.

After listening to two hours of opposition to the meters from a delegation of businessmen and farmers at a council meeting, a motion was passed by the council to table the meter ordinance and the mayor and city attorney were directed to notify the meter company the contract was cancelled.

In September, the council passed a 5,000 word traffic code as a result of a study ordered by the mayor after all parking regulations were lifted following the parking meter controversy.

Being truly thankful

By Chuck DeVos

Lead pastor LifePoint Church

If you’re like me there are areas in your life you are constantly working on.

One area for me is the area of being thankful. I’m a generally thankful person, at least in those areas where it’s easy to be thankful.

I’m thankful for an amazing wife and two outstanding kids. I’m thankful for the opportunity to lead a phenomenal church, I’m thankful for great friends and a great community to live in. But it’s easy to be thankful for those things, but sometimes there are things that are hard to be thankful for.

In her wonderful book, “The Hiding Place,” Corrie ten Boom relates an amazing story about the importance of being thankful. Corrie and her sister Betsy were held in a concentration camp known as Ravensbruk, where they lived in barracks that were plagued with lice. Lice were everywhere in their hair and on their bodies.

One day, Betsy said to her, “Corrie, we need to give thanks to God for the lice.”

Corrie said, “Betsy, you have gone too far this time. I am not going to thank God for lice.”

Betsy said, “Oh, but Corrie, the Bible tells us, ‘In everything give thanks.’ “ Still, Corrie did not want to thank God for the lice. As it turns out, Corrie and Betsy were trying to reach the other women in their barracks with the message of the Gospel, and they had been holding Bible studies.

Corrie found out later that because of the lice, the guards would not go into those barracks, and therefore, they were able to have their Bible studies. So, it turns out that God N. Dewey Osceola. Cass Young, pastor. 641-342-7110. 10:00 a.m.

can even use lice.

The verse Betsy referred to is in 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

It says: “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

If the Bible said, “In some things give thanks,” I would say, “No problem there!” But it says, “In everything give thanks.” That is not an easy thing to do.

This verse doesn’t say we should give thanks for everything. I cannot give thanks for rapists, murderers, abusers, and the like. It does, however, say to give thanks in everything.

Bible commentator Matthew Henry, after being robbed, wrote this in his diary: Let me be thankful • first because I was never robbed before.

• second, because although they took my wallet they did not take my life.

• third, because although they took my all, it was not much.

• fourth, because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed.

He wasn’t thankful for being robbed, but even in the robbery he found reasons to be thankful.

There are some things that happen in life, and I’m not glad they happened. But I’m working on being thankful in spite of the tragedies and asking God for His help.

NEW LOGO: Continued from Page 1

During the meeting’s discussion, councilmen asked what was the next step to take at that point.

Ty Wheeler, city administrator/clerk, said once the logo was approved, work could be done on the city website and city entities and departments, such as making business cards.

“I think our web presence, or lack thereof, is something we’ve talked about for a long time, and needing to improve that,” Wheeler said.

Bill Trickey, executive director of Clarke County Development Corporation, said the development corporation has its own logo, but would put the city’s new logo

on its website so it would be an online link.

“It fits with all of our work quite nicely, and I particularly like the flexibility that icon provides, and I like the map,” Trickey said. “We, in Iowa, have tendency to know where Clarke County is, but other people don’t.

We know where Osceola is, but there’s also an Osceola County.”

Special amendment Before the councilmen approved the city’s new logo, they approved an amendment to the logo, stating the wording on the logo could be changed, if desired, at a later time.

“I hate to say it, but I like the ‘Great People. Great Location,’” said Councilman Dr. George Fotiadis.

Highway Lumber is now accepting entries for two $500 shopping sprees.

Two local winners, selected at random, will each receive $500 in merchandise from Highway Lumber.

The contest ends Nov. 15.

Ryan Lundquist said the shopping spree should create plenty of excitement among Highway Lumber customers.

“One of the best things about the drawing is that our customers have an opportunity to make a wish list and get the items they really want to use in their home improvement or garden project,” he said. “And for two of our customers, that wish list will come true.

We’re looking forward to helping make that happen.”

Full details about the shopping spree are available at Highway Lumber.

The shopping spree will be promoted through the store’s advertising materials, and entries will be accepted exclusively at Highway Lumber, located at 820 Warren Ave. There is a lim-

it of one entry per household, per day. Two winners will be chosen.

Highway Lumber Company is located at 820 Warren Ave., east of the Osceola exit off of I-35 and across the street from Osceola Foods. They have been serving customers in the Osceola area for 62 years.

Highway Lumber offers a complete line of lumber, hardware and building materials for everyone from the do-it-yourself homeowner to the professional.

Highway Lumber has been a Do it Best Corp. member since March.

Based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Do it Best Corp. is the only full-service U.S.based, member-owned hardware, lumber and building materials buying cooperative in the home improvement industry.

With annual sales of $2.8 billion, Do it Best Corp. is the second largest co-op in the industry, serving 3,800 member-owned stores in the United States and in 53 foreign countries.

OST photo by AMY HANSEN

Recognition week: Mayor Fred Diehl recognizes people in the community during a Sept. 2 Osceola City Council meeting

with a proclamation for “National Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week,” which started Sept. 7. Pictured, from left, are Katie Brownlee, direct support professional, Jim Poehlman, executive director of Mosaic Of South Central Iowa, Scott McLin, community relations manager of Mosaic of South Central Iowa, Christine Van Buren, direct support professional, Vickie Brown, direct support professional, and Shelbie West, direct support professional. The week is to celebrate and recognize professionals who provide support to millions of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and recognize the dedication and vital role direct support professionals in enhancing lives.

For more than two years, a committee of interested persons have been working on a hazard mitigation plan for the entire county.

The plan covers all the key jurisdictions and properties in the county and will meet state and federal requirements for planning and funding. The county has hired the Southern Iowa Council of Governments to prepare the plan.

The plan is nearly complete and we are seeking public comments about the draft.

There are several ways to access the plan in midSeptember. Hard copies can be found at the Clarke County Emergency Management Agency in the courthouse in Osceola, Osceola City Hall, Murray City Hall and Wood-

burn City Hall. An electronic version of the plan will soon be available at www.sicog.com. You can make comments to Jeremy Rounds of SICOG at 641782-8491 or rounds@sicog. com through the end of September.

Additionally, people can comment at a public forum to be held later in September. The meeting will be located at the American State Bank meeting room in Osceola from 5-6 p.m.

Monday, Sept. 29. A brief presentation will lead off the meeting and the public can come in at any time to provide comments or discuss issues with the plan.

Contact Jeremy Rounds at the Southern Iowa Council of Governments, 641-782-8491 for more information.

Clarke head volleyball coach Lindsay Diehl was impressed with the amount of improvement her team showed from its opening tournament on Aug. 30 to it’s next match on Sept. 2.

The Lady Indians didn’t win a game in losses to Lamoni, Bedford and Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln at the home tournament.

And though they didn’t win a game against Chariton on Sept. 2, Diehl said her team’s competitiveness was much better.

“That was a total flip from what they were Saturday,” Diehl said after her team’s 2518, 25-20, 25-23 loss to Chariton. “If we would h a v e played like that Diehl on Saturday, I think we could have been in the championship at our own tournament.”

Clarke came out with much more intensity against Chariton, taking an 11-10 lead midway through the first game.

Even after falling behind 15-11, the Lady Indians battled back. An Alex Boyce block highlighted a run that tied the match at 15-15.

A Baylie Balcaen kill and a Sara Andrew ace gave Clarke a 17-16 lead.

Clarke Triangular Clarke dropped a pair of matches here on Sept. 4 at its home triangular.

The Lady Indians lost 25-14, 25-10 to Central Decatur and 25-18, 25-14 to Centerville.

In the loss to Central Decatur, Andrew and Chynna Beydler each finished with two kills to lead the team.

Campfield had two block assists, while Andrew and Balcaen each finished with one block assist. Boyce recorded one solo block.

Deutsch set seven assists, while Heath had three digs and served two aces.

For Central Decatur, Raegan Boothe had a team-high four kills, while Jentri Hullinger and Hallie

Clarke junior Maddi Heath receives a serve during the team’s loss to Chariton on Sept. 2, while teammate Lexy Carson (10) looks on. Heath finished with six digs and served 11-12 with two aces in the loss.

But, Chariton closed the game on a 9-1 run to win the first game.

The second game went back and forth until Clarke once again took a 17-16 lead. But again, Chariton found a way to go on a run at the end of the game, winning 25-20.

“We set the intensity from the beginning and we kept fighting,” Diehl said.

“Last year, we would get down in the first set after we got to about 15 points.

We would fight to that

and then it would slowly be a downhill slide. But I felt like they fought in all three of those sets. I’m pleased with the way the kids played tonight.”

The Lady Indians came out firing in the third game, as Andrew delivered backto-back aces to give Clarke a 4-3 lead, and Balcaen served nine straight points, including five aces, giving Clarke a 14-3 lead.

Clarke’s lead eventually reached 17-6, but that’s when Chariton’s Kendall

Hardie went on a service string of her own, serving seven straight points, including three aces.

After a LeeAnn Helgevold b l o c k g a v e Clarke a 2219 lead, Chariton fought back for Helgevold a 23-22 lead. Clarke tied the game at 23-23, but Taylor Tuley

delivered back-to-back kills to end the match.

“That was awesome to see them keep pushing points, just to see them get excited about how they were playing,” Diehl said. “Baylie went on a run there and it was exciting to see the bench get up and get into it and also just be- Balcaen

Area football Wayne 56, Murray 12 MURRAY — Clayton Kiefer scored three touchdowns and ran for 133 yards to lead Wayne past Murray, 56-12, in the Mustangs’ home opener Friday.

The game was a rematch from the Falcons’ playoff victory a year ago, when Kiefer was also a big factor. This time, he had two big plays to break open a 14-6 game.

Kiefer had a 45-yard punt return for a touchdown, and two minutes later he stripped a Mustang ballcarrier and returned the fumble 50 yards to give the Falcons a 30-6 lead before the first quarter expired.

Wayne also converted a fourth-down play from the 13-yard line to score on the last play of the first half, providing a 44-12 cushion at the break.

Fisher Decker took a pass from Matt Barnes for a 60-yard touchdown, and Dustin Teas had a 19-yard TD reception to account for Murray’s scoring, all in the first half.

Matt Barnes returned to the Mustang lineup and had a team-high 54 yards rushing to go with 152 yards Barnes passing on 9-of17. Barnes also had 10 total tackles and Teas had seven.

“The team played a much more competitive game against a great opponent,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton, comparing it to the 34-0 opening loss to Mormon Trail. “We moved the ball well, having over 250 yards of of-

fense.”

Fulton said the defense held the explosive Falcons several times to stall on long drives or four-andouts several times.

Murray opens district play Friday at East Union, which is 1-1 after defeating Essex 64-10 on Friday.

Central Decatur 20, PCM 7 LEON — Central Decatur improved to 2-0 for the season, winning its home opener here on Friday over PCM, 20-7.

The Cardinal rushing attack was limited to just 92 yards for the game, led

by Trenton Wells running for 84 yards and a 9-yard touchdown on 22 carries.

But, the passing game did enough to outscore the Mustangs. Wells completed 11-of-27 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns, compared to one interception.

A majority of the passes

went Peyton Pedersen’s way, as Pedersen caught seven passes for 107 yards and a 29-yard touchdown.

Senior Kyle Palmer was on the receiving end of three catches, going for 30 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown. Clayton Dale caught one pass for 20 yards.

Defensively, Pedersen intercepted a Logan Gilman pass.

Wells had a monster game defensively for the Cardinals, collecting 10 solo tackles and three assisted stops. Five of his 10 tackles were solo tackles for loss, as he recorded four solo sacks.

Palmer finished the game with seven solo tackles and three assisted stops. Sophomore Kade Kelso also recorded a solo sack for the Cardinals among his 5.5 total tackles.
