Margosein is a retired high school teacher who also has experience in elementary, junior high, and college teaching. She wrote another book with Flaska, “Waddling Walter Runs Away to the Wide, Wide World.”

Since the Carroll County Farm Bureau Foundation was started in 1990, it has given out $91,200 in scholarships. Wow! The crazy part is $91,000 would barely cover 4 years of schooling at a 4-year school at this time. The Foundation also provides grants to teachers to attend the Summer Ag Institute, and it also has donated ag books to libraries and day cares in the past. ••• It is hard to believe it is graduation time. For myself, I have one more year. Time has certainly flown. School gets out next week.

This means we have library programs coming up in June! Watch for dates and times to be released here in the next 2 weeks. ••• I hope you are out there trying out which burger could be the best burger in Carroll County!

Byron 7, Pearl City 3 WEDNESDAY Newman 11, Pearl City 1 TUESDAY Rochelle 13, Sterling 2, 5 innings: The Golden Warriors checked out early and never got anything going in an NIB12 West loss to Rochelle at Gartner Park.

Rochelle rapped out 13 hits against three Sterling pitchers, and scored in every inning. The Hubs had plenty of help from a Sterling club that struggled in all facets. The Golden Warriors committed five errors, issued seven walks, hit two batters, and allowed runs to score on both a wild pitch and a passed ball.

Sterling had a chance to stay in the game, as it had runners on second and third with one out in the first, second and fourth innings. All it had to show from those opportunities was an RBI single from Reilly Hay in the fourth.

Sterling’s other run came in the first, on an RBI single from Willman.

John Kisner got the win for Rochelle.

He went the distance, allowing two runs, six hits, a walk and a hit batsman, with seven strikeouts.

One of the hits allowed by Kisner was from Trey Morse, a single in the first inning. It gave him 125 hits for his 4-year varsity career, tied for the top spot in SHS history with Danny Matznick.

Dylan Bryant took the loss. He gave up seven runs (six earned), seven hits and five walks in three innings. He also struck out three.

Polo 11, Milledgeville 5: The Missiles allowed the Marcos to get to the.500 mark after an NUIC East road loss.

Fulton 3, Rockridge 0: Erik North struck out 10 in a complete-game win and the Steamers knocked off TRAC West champion Rockridge at home.

Alex Escalante went 2-for-3 at the plate and drove in a run for the Golden Warriors.

Cooper Willman pitched 4 2/3 innings and struck out seven, but allowed eight runs on nine hits.

A pair of Rochelle pitchers limited Sterling to six hits, all of them singles.

Rochelle broke a 2-2 tie with four runs in the bottom of the second. Sterling cut the lead to one in the fifth, but got no closer.

Kierra Lynn Schultz hit a home run and drove in three runs for the Panthers.

Kaidyn Sargent had two hits.

WEDNESDAY Newman 17, Morrison 2, 5 innings: The Comets jumped out to a lead from the get-go, then piled up a dozen runs in the second inning.

Newman scored three runs in the top of the first. Morrison also marked the board in the first; Kate Vos smacked a pitch from Comets pitcher Elle Koerner deep into the left-center gap, and wound up with a double after left fielder Jalen Morthland couldn’t secure the ball in her outstretched glove. Grace Steines scored from first after being hit by a pitch.

The Fillies picked up a run in the bottom of the fifth. Jaicee Schmidt led off the inning with a single, and Madison Steines’ double to left-center scored the freshman all the way from first.

She added a two-run shot in the fifth to up the Golden Warriors’ lead to 6-1. Both landed on top of the batting cage netting, well beyond the fence in center field – and would have had a fighting chance to get out even without a helping wind.
