State Representative Jarad
Klein (R-Keota) called for all
Congressional pay to stop until
the impasse in Washington D.C.
can be resolved. Congressional
leaders and President Obama
were unable to come to an agreement on various federal funding
bills.
“With no immediate end in
site it appears that logic and
common sense are extinct in
D.C.. We have split control of
the Legislature in Iowa with
Republicans in charge of the
House and Democrats in control
of the Senate. Legislators here are
able to come together, find agreement, and do the job the voters
expect us to do. Legislators in
Iowa stop getting paid if we take
too long and can’t find solutions
to problems. Forcing legislators
to personally pay their own overtime expenses definitely helps
force negotiations. Washington
should follow the Iowa example
and Congressional pay should
stop until an agreement is
reached.”
Klein added, “If you are not
doing your job, if you are not
doing what you are supposed to
be doing, the taxpayers should
not be expected to compensate
you.”

Terry and Joyce Farmer
received the Heritage Farm Award
at the 2013 Iowa State Fair. John
and Catherine Bitner purchased
the farm in Warren Township in
1857. Iowa had become a state
in 1846. They traveled
in a
covered wagon 462 miles from
Dark County, Ohio, to Keokuk
County. The nearest town was
Springfield, settled in 1843.
Since then, the farm has been
owned by Joseph Bitner, Orville
Bitner, Helen Farmer, Kenneth
Farmer and now Terry and Joyce
Farmer. The four Farmer daughters, Shannon, Christy, Emily
and Molly are the seventh generation to have lived on the farm.
The Heritage Farm award names
families who have owned land for
150 years and more. They are
recognized for the deep roots of
Iowa agriculture and the special
bond between the family and the
land they farm. Congratulations
to the Farmer family.

Homecoming Parade
Changes Route
By Ashley Berg
New changes to the homecoming
parade are taking effect this year.
The route will now begin at the
Sigourney High School on the
corner of Keokuk Avenue and
Pleasant Valley, and continue down
Adair Court in front of the high
school. From there, the parade will
continue down Pleasant Valley to
the elementary school, turn right
onto Jefferson, and continue to the
East side of the Sigourney square.
The parade will make a circuit
around the square then stop on the
south side.
The school is excited to get
the community more involved in
homecoming this year and want
to start with a short community
pep rally following the parade.
This will include the mayor’s
address delivered by Pat Miletich,
a pep talk by head coach, Jared
Jensen, a performance by the little
cheerleaders, and an introduction of
the royal court.
The Homecoming Parade will
begin at 2:00 p.m. on Friday,
October 11, 2013. Anyone interest
in participating in the Homecoming
Parade, please contact Shannon
Greiner at 622-2010 or shannon.

igh school is so much
better than Jr. High, because
the teachers want you to feel comfortable and
flexible with your schedule. They are understanding and
help you work around the days that you’ve missed in class. I am
learning new things everyday, and you don’t get treated like a little kid anymore. You are responsible for you work and schedule. Another thing I like about high
school is that the teachers are willing to help you when you need to redo a work sheet or test.
They always give you a second chance.
A couple things that I miss about Jr. High is not seeing my dad as much anymore since he is the social studies teacher. I just don’t get to see him much anymore, because he’s on the other side of the building. Another little thing that
I miss is Ms. Mousel; she is just so inspiring and amazing at what she does. She helped me get through so much in the last few years.
One thing I don’t miss about Jr. High is being treated like a little kid at lunch and in class. I like to take a little more responsibility, maturity, and
get an education.
By Sarina Gretter
love high school. You have so much more freedom even compared to junior high. You can choose your own classes. I also like that we have more activities. We can do dance team, FFA, or anything else that you would like to do. I also like that we can do more of the Homecoming things like switching
sports.
I don’t miss much about junior high. It was so small, and there weren’t that many kids. We had to stay in the same hallway the whole day. We didn’t
get to do much besides sports or music related activities. I will miss junior high track because I don’t think I’ll be in the same things this year because older
people are better than me. I love my memories from junior high, but I’m just glad I’m out of it.
By Jetta Bell
ife in high school is lots different then it was in junior high. In high school we have more freedom, but I miss the junior high sometimes. I miss some
of the teachers we had in the junior high. During junior high, I didn’t take it all that seriously, but now that I’m in high school I have to step up and
work harder. This is where your grades start and things become incredibly important for college. I think that now that my class is in high school we are all
maturing a lot faster, and getting stuff done. High school is a big step up for me, and it brings lots more responsibilities, along with more freedom.
When I first started high school my biggest worry was that I was not prepared enough. In some things, that is true. There are some things I feel like I
should of been taught it the junior high, but I wasn’t taught. One of the more important things that I don’t miss is doing project after project, and feeling
rushed through everything. Although, I did enjoy some of the projects, but, after doing nothing but projects, I started hating all the projects. Sometimes I do
miss some of the teachers that I had in the junior high, but I like high school much better.
By Sierra Green
think high school life for me wasn’t so different than the life I had in junior high. I don’t really miss being in junior high really. I had a fun time, and I
liked all of my teachers, but I’m glad junior high is over. Some things I do miss is the help. If I needed help, I wasn’t afraid to ask them. Another thing
is that the teachers down in the junior high were more on me about turning my homework in on time, and I liked having that pressure. It pushed me to be
smart about my work and being responsible.
I like high school! I have a lot of fun up here. The teachers are more lenient and the homework is harder, but I’m really enjoying it. I like having my
freedom up here. I really think I’m learning a lot and I’m having fun while doing it. I think I’m really going to enjoy my high school years!
By Avery Moore
like high school; I like the teachers and how they teach. The homework is mediocre and really depends on who is handing it out. Some assignments may
be hard and some easy. I really like high school right now. It may be because of the freedom that we have or maybe just how easy it has been. I like it
more than junior high, but there are some things I about it.
In junior high, I miss the fact that you get to eat earlier because it seems like by lunch time now I am suffering from starvation. This is only one of the
things I miss, and there are a lot more. I miss the being at the top of the hill in junior high as an 8th grader; we were the upper class men and now we aren’t.
It’s not that I don’t like being in the high school wing; it’s just sometimes I wish I could be back in junior high. Everything is more laid back in junior high,
and in high school we run at a fast pace. These are my thoughts on the high school and junior high.

Welcome Niklas!
By Chase Tremmel
This year’s foreign exchange student’s
name is Niklas Haas. He came here
from western Germany. When asked
why he wanted to come to America
for school, he said he thought it
would be a cool experience to live
in another country. He says school
here has different classes and is
easier than in Germany. He enjoys
living here.
Niklas is involved in football right
now in says he is also going to play basketball this winter. Welcome to Sigourney
Niklas!
How About the New Stuff?
By Damien Beard
Sigourney Jr/Sr High school
recently got new computers and
some new accessories for the
school. One new things we have
this year is new front doors. The
one of the reasons the school
received new doors because the
old ones were rundown and old,
but the main reason is because
of security related problems.
The school has also added new
Sigourney Savage mats in the front
lobby; the objective for this was
to make our school more appealing to students, parents, and other
schools around the area.
Our new computers are
Macbook Airs. We got new computers because the warranty was
up on the old computer, and
they weren’t working like they
should. Shannon Webb, principal, said “We are doing all of
L
I
I
Heap of the Week
this so we can build moral and
school spirit. We want the students to want to come to school.
We have had a lot of comments
on all of are new stuff this year,
not only by students but from
guests and parents. We want our
school to be positive.”
By Chase Tremmel
This week’s heap of the week goes out to Tucker Fowler. He drives a 1996 Chevrolet
Corsica. He has some things he enjoys with it and
others he does not. He enjoy the fact that the air
conditioning works on hot summer days, and it
gets him to where he needs to go without any
problems.
Fowler says his least favorite
thing about “The Corsica” is
that it is very loud because it
lacks a muffler. When I asked
him if he had any interesting
stories with his car, he told
me of one day in the summer
he was driving it to weights
and ran into a pole trying to get
some bugs out of the car.

Q
: How old do girls and
boys have to be to
join 4-H?
A: Youth can join a 4-H
club anytime between 4th
and 12th grade. (Children in
Kindergarten through 3rd
grade can join 4-H Clover
Kids.)
With each club made up
of a mix of older and younger children, the younger
children benefit from the
older kids’ knowledge and
the older children gain
experience mentoring the
younger members of their
club.

Joel Swanson and Jenna Acord

4-H?
Photos by Robin Handy.
Q
A: Yes, 4-H is open to all
children no matter where
they live. There is a misconception 4-H members
must live on a farm to participate, but it’s simply not
true.
In fact - in Keokuk County,
approximately 36% of 4-H
members live in town.
Q
: How much does it
cost to join?
A: In Keokuk County, 4-H
is FREE for all members.
Keokuk County 4-H members, parents and leaders
sell fruit in the winter to
pay the 4-H program fees.

First SICL Win
10-1-2013 English Valleys 1, HLV 3 • 10-3-2013 English Valleys 3, Tri-County 1
By Adam Meier,
Regional Sports Editor
It took longer than they
would have liked, but the Bears
notched their first conference
win of the season last week on
the road at Tri-County.
Before
English
Valleys
got the big win in Thornburg
though, the Bears needed to
head to HLV to play the then
second place Warriors.
The Warriors headed into
last Tuesday’s game with EV
with a 3-1 SICL record and
came out of it at 4-1.
After falling by a combined
seven points in the first two
sets, the Bears fought back with
an impressive 25-16 win in the
third set, keeping their night
going. But HLV bounced back
in set number four to take it by
a count of 25-15, sending EV
home with a loss.
HLV
freshman
Brooke
Kuesel led the Warriors with
12 kills.
With the tough loss in their
rear-view mirror, the Bears
turned their focus to Thursday’s
matchup with Tri-County.
It appeared early on that
the Trojans did not have EV’s
full attention initially.
Tri-County played its best
volleyball of the year in the
first set, knocking off the Bears
25-18, and winning its first set
of the season.
After the sluggish start
though, EV turned on its jets
and rocketed to three straight
wins.
The Bears took the second
set by a score of 25-17; the
third by a count of 25-18; and
the fourth and final set by a
score of 25-8.
Leading the attack for EV
was junior Rylee Voss, who
recorded 15 kills on the night
in only 26 attempts. Voss also
served a perfect 22-for-22 and
landed a team-high three aces.
Following Voss’s lead were
Madison Parmenter and Lauren
Miller. Parmenter, a senior, finished the night with nine kills,
while Miller had eight. Emma
Hester pitched in two kills.
Senior
setter
Shannon
Steffen ended up with 23 assists
and two aces. As a team, the
Bears served successfully on 85
of 89 tries.
The Bears played at BGM
on Monday in their only game
of this week. EV now sits at
3-13 overall and plays at HLV
on October 22 in the first round
of the Class A, Region 6 postseason play.

By Adam Meier,
Mediapolis and Winfield
Mt. Union, two of the SEISC’s
top squads, met with the Pekin
volleyball team last week and
proved just how good they are.
On Tuesday in Pekin,
Mediapolis came in and swept
the Panthers in three sets to
improve to 23-6 on the season.
The Panthers struggled early
against Mepo, falling in the first
set by a count of 25-3.
Pekin stepped up and
improved its play in each of the
next two sets but still came up
short in each, 25-18 and 25-16.
Madelyn Baker and Peyton
Atwood each finished with three
kills, while Beth Atwood and
Tiana Slaney each had two.
Setter Whitney Horras recorded
11 assists and five digs on the
night. Baker and Emily Bemis
tied for a team high with seven
digs apiece.
Two nights later the Panthers
headed to Winfield-Mount Union
and put up a good fight against
the Wolves.

TC Sees Progress with Set Win
9-30-2013 Tri-County 0, Montezuma 3 • 10-3-2013 Tri-County 1, English Valleys 3
By Adam Meier,
The hard work and dedication put forth in the past two
months by the Tri-County volleyball team is coming to fruition.
While the team remains
winless on the year, the Trojans
can now mark off one of their
biggest goals they set before
the season: winning a set.
It may not sound like a
lot, but in taking a set from
English Valleys on Thursday,
the Trojans ended a drought
that lasted nearly two years.
Tri-County had not won a single set prior to Thursday since
September of 2011 at home
against EV.
Over two years later, TC
ended the drought against the
same team on the same court.
EV came to town looking
for their first conference win of
their own. The Trojans made
sure it wouldn’t be easy.
Right off the bat, it was
easy to see that Tri-County was
going to play with a spark and
with purpose.
Kristen Lundy and Brooke
Glenn led the Trojans against
the Bears and were key reasons why TC won the first set,
25-19.
On the night, Lundy finished with a team high ten
kills, while Glenn added seven.
Glenn served successfully on
21 of her 23 serves and landed
five aces. The two also accounted for all five of TC’s blocks,
with Lundy recording four of
them.
After winning the first set
and ending a lengthy winless
set streak, the Trojans ran into
an even more energized English
Valleys’ team.
The Bears stormed back to
win the next two sets, 25-17
and 25-18; before ending the
Trojans’ night with a 25-8 win
in the fourth set.
Sara Gragg added five kills
for TC and Taylor Markham
recorded two.
The Trojans could still hold
their heads high after notching
the first-set win. The win represents the progress that the
team has made since the summer and the incentive to keep
plugging away. More importantly, the win put much-needed smiles on the girls’ faces,
and that’s what high school
athletics comes down to – smiling and having fun.
The Trojans played at Iowa
Valley on Monday, before hosting Keota on Thursday. The
team then plays at Washington
on Saturday, Oct. 12.

9-30-2013
In its only event of the week,
the English Valleys’ cross country squad went to Clear Creek
Amana and ran with the likes
of Vinton-Shellsburg, Mid-Prairie
and Columbus Junction.
The Bears placed sixth as a
team out of eight, with VintonShellsburg running away with
the team title. V-S Lily Horst won
the girls’ race with 15:23.
Allison Hewett, EV’s top
runner, tied for fifth place with
Wapello’s Kimberlee Ewart. Both
Hewett and Ewart crossed the
finish line at 16:46.
Freshman Hannah Green
claimed the second quickest time
for the EV. Green ran a time of
19:46 and placed 34th overall. In
40th place with a time of 20:49
was Abby Westhoff.
A trio of Bears placed 43rd,
44th and 45th, respectively.
Amelia Koehn (21:26), Breann
Coffman (21:28) and Taylor
Gerard (21:41) rounded out the
EV runners and finished backto-back-to-back.

the gate strong and took the first
set, 25-19.
“We started off with fire and
never let the ball hit the floor,”
Pekin head coach Ashley Bartels
said. “Emily Bemis made a huge
diving save to keep the momentum going. We had big blocks
on their main hitters which led
them to tip a lot.”
Jess Horras led the Panthers
with three blocks. Peyton Atwood
and Baker each had two blocks,
while Slaney and Beth Atwood
each had one.
Winfield-Mt. Union bounced
back with vengeance in the second set and won it by a count
of 25-13.
“During the second set we
played a little scared when they
had a run,” said Bartels.
Both the third and fourth
sets were agonizingly close, but
the Wolves wound up edging the
Panthers in both.
“In the third and fourth sets
we battled from behind and kept
it close,” added Bartels. “We
made a lot of silly errors and gave
them points, but the girls fought
hard. We just have to battle and
believe the entire match that we
can come out with the win.”
The Wolves won the third
set by a count of 27-25 and the
fourth by a score of 25-20, moving their record to 20-10 on the
season.
Beth Atwood led Pekin with
10 kills, while Baker, Slaney
and Jess Horras each finished
with five.
The Panthers are now 9-8 on
the season and played LouisaMuscatine at home on Tuesday,
before playing at Highland on
Thursday, Oct. 10.

Trojans Fight Hard,
But Drop to 2-5
10-4-2013 Tri-County 0, Wayne 67
By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor
Running the football with consistency and stopping the run consistently are two vital keys to winning games, and the Tri-County football team struggled with both on Friday against Wayne.
The Trojans allowed nearly 300 yards rushing in
the 67-0 defeat to Wayne, who improved to 4-2.
“We gave up 286 yards on 18 run plays. That is
not a blueprint for success,” TC head coach Scott
Edmundson said.
The loss dropped Tri-County to 2-5 on the season.
Wayne’s Clayton Kiefer scored
three touchdowns and ran for 134
yards on only six carries.
Along with a dominant running
game, Wayne’s passing game also
gave the Trojans fits. Quarterback
Dillon Lain threw for 147 yards and three touchdowns in the game.
Wayne scored four touchdowns in each of the
first two quarters and took a 53-0 lead into halftime,
all but cementing the win.
For the Trojans, Jake Bombei and Josh Edmundson
each rushed for 46 yards, while Zach Kitzman ran for
30 and Nick Watts rushed for 33. Watts remains the
team’s leading rusher with 276 yards on the ground,
while Kitzman sits at 259. Watts also completed
eight of his 17 pass attempts for a total of 58 yards.
Trenton Steinke and Austin Blythe had identical
numbers receiving, with two catches for 20 yards
apiece. Kitzman caught three balls for 14 yards on
the night.
Jacob Weber led the defensive effort for TC with
four tackles, including the team’s only sack. Steinke
was second on the team in tackles with three and
Dakota Thomas finished with
two. Ben Edmundson also
made an impact by recovering
a fumble.
After the two-game home
stand, the Trojans will hit the
road for two games starting
at Grandview Park Baptist
this Friday. The team then
heads to Meskwaki the following week, before capping
the regular season at home
against Twin Cedars.

Panthers Overmatch Bears
10-4-2013 Pekin 56, English Valleys 0
By Adam Meier,
It was evident very early
on Friday night the English
Valleys’ football team would be
in over its head at Pekin.
The Panthers scored 27
points in the first quarter,
including six on a Chrisitan
Wittrock punt return, in their
56-0 win against District foe EV
on Friday.
With
the
win,
Pekin
improved to 5-1 overall and 4-0
in District play, while the Bears
dropped to 1-6, including 1-4 in
District play.
Like they have been doing all
season, the Pekin offensive and
defensive lines set the tone.
Linemen
Jared
Bond,
John Hollingsworth, Jaydon
Nicholson and Trenton Conger
occupied space and plugged up
holes to help limit EV’s running game to 151 yards on 44
carries; a 3.4 yard-per-carry
average.
Bond and Conger each finished with nine tackles on the
night, while Hollingsworth had
seven and Nicholson finished
with four.
EV’s Brennen Grimm led
the Bears with 72 yards rushing
on 21 carries. Freshman Zack
Axmear added 57 yards on the
ground on 15 carries.
The Pekin defensive line
freed up space for the linebackers to cause havoc by filling
holes and getting into the EV
backfield.
One of those linebackers,
Eric Adam, led the Panthers
with 14 tackles on the night.
Jeff Brain recorded eight tackles
and Petie Clubb added seven.
With the Pekin defense holding down EV’s offense, Pekin’s
offense made sure to hold up its
end of the bargain.
On Pekin’s first offensive drive, quarterback Kolby
Allsup broke off a long run on
a designed QB run that got the
Panthers deep into EV territory. Clubb capped Pekin’s quick
drive by finding the end zone
from a few yards out to get the
Panthers on the scoreboard.
After the Pekin defense
forced a three-and-out, junior
Christian Wittrock electrified
the crowd with a punt return.
The explosive Wittrock fielded
Kellan Coppinger’s punt and
followed his blockers to the left.
With the EV defenders drawn to
one side, Wittrock reversed the
field and outran the Bears to
the corner of the end zone, putting Pekin up 14-0.
The Panthers continued to
pour it on and took a 27-0 lead
into the second quarter.
In the second quarter,
Allsup floated a perfect pass
to an open Keaton Winn for
a 25-yard touchdown. Allsup
then ran in a quarterback draw
for five yards out to put Pekin
up 41-0.
EV had a chance to get
on the scoreboard right before
halftime after putting together
a great drive late in the half.
However, Zack Axmear’s field
goal try was block and the Bears
went in at halftime trailing.
The EV defense stiffened
in the second half, but the
Panthers still managed to find
the end zone twice to complete
the 56-0 win.
Allsup ran six times for 99
yards and a touchdown, while
also throwing for 52 yards and
three touchdowns; two to Winn
and another to Wittrock. Tanner
Adam ran the ball four times for
60 yards and a TD, while Chase
Copeland rushed five times for
48 yards and a score.
EV’s Kellan Coppinger led
the Bears with eight tackles,
with Colton Miller not far behind
with seven. Axmear added six
tackles and Sam Schauer finished with five. Tanner Icenbice
notched the Bears’ only sack.
EV hosts the top-ranked
BGM on Friday. Meanwhile,
Pekin goes on the road to
Montezuma. BGM, Montezuma
and Pekin all sit at 4-0 in
District play. The Panthers host
BGM on the final week, October
25.
The Sigourney volleyball
team is coming together; five
wins in a row is evidence of
that.
The Savages went on the
road last Monday and increased
their winning streak to four
with an impressive sweep of
a good North Mahaska team.
Sigourney then ran its streak
to five with a thrilling 3-2 win
over BGM, another very good
team.
At New Sharon on Monday,
the Savages got out to a great
start. Early attacks by Jordan
Carter and Karah Appleget set
the tone for the match, as
Sigourney won the first set,
25-14.
Carter led Sigourney with
15 kills and Appleget added
seven and three aces.
The second set was evenly matched, but the Savages
found a way to get past North
Mahaska again, 25-23. The
third and ultimately decisive
set was another close one
between the SICL foes. The
Warhawks simply did not have
the firepower to compete with
Sigourney on this night, as the
Savages took the third set as
well, 25-20.
Brooke Schroeder had a
huge game with nine kills and
Madi Denny added five. Sydney
Davis came up with 33 assists
in just three sets. Becca Ohland
led the team with 28 digs.
On Thursday an excellent
BGM team came to Sigourney
and got a rude awakening in
the first two sets.
The Savages played at the
top of their game in the first
two sets and were paced with
an All-State caliber performance from Carter.

16-of-16.
Carter and the Savages
looked good early, winning the
first set 25-17 and the second
set 25-21.
However, a Sigourney letdown and a scrappy BGM effort
combined to result in a 25-12
BGM win in the third set. The
long, athletic Bears then forced
a pivotal fifth set by edging the
Savages in the fourth, 25-23.
In the fifth and final set,
the Savages put together some
excellent defensive possessions
against the big BGM hitters
and forced the Bears into mistakes, allowing Sigourney to
take the win, 15-9.
Sydney Davis had 39
assists on the night and added
four kills. Appleget finished
with nine kills; Schroeder finished five six and Denny added
five.
At 5-2 in SICL play,
Sigourney hosted 4-2 Keota
on Monday, before playing in
a Washington tournament on
Saturday. The Savages will
play Wilton, IMS and Iowa City
Regina in the tournament.

West Branch Slips Past SK
10-4-2013 SK 46, West Branch 47
By Adam Meier,
B
ouncing back from
a double overtime,
one-point loss on the
road to one of the
district’s top teams won’t be
easy to do, but the SigourneyKeota football team has to do
it.
The Cobras lost a heartbreaker on Friday at West
Branch after an SK two-point
conversion failed in the second OT before the Bears scored
a touchdown, made the extra
point and won the game,
47-46.
It was a wild back-andforth game that featured big
plays, lead changes and tons
of effort.
With Luke Lyle sidelined
for the second-straight game,
Blaine Gretter stepped in and
played great once again.
Late in the first quarter,
Gretter hooked up with Kolton
Greiner for a 19-yard touchdown pass that got the Cobras
on the board first, 6-0.
West Branch proved to have
an explosive offense of its own,
though.
With just under 12 minutes
left in the second, West Branch
running back Luke Lenoch with
Tyler Donovan deep down the
left side. Donovan broke a tackle and took it 63 yards to the
house, tying the game at six.
SK responded shortly after
with a 27-yard touchdown run
right up the gut by Greiner.
Greiner ended the night
with 91 yards rushing and a
touchdown on 14 carries, along
with four catches for 62 yards
and a touchdown.

Eagles Steam Roll to 4-2 in SICL
9-30-2013 Keota 3, English Valleys 0 • 10-3-2013 Keota 3, HLV 1
By Adam Meier,
The
Keota
volleyball
team’s level of play has
stead i l y
been
increasing
throughout the season. Last
week the Eagles hit perhaps
their highest level of play
so far this year; sweeping
English Valleys on the road
and then handing HLV just
its second conference loss of
the season.
With the two wins, Keota
improved to 4-2 in SICL play
and 9-5 overall.
One of the big reasons
for the Eagles’ improved play
has been the added aggression of senior Kelsi Sieren.
Sieren, who had over 200
kills last year, started a bit
slow this season, but has
since turned it on.
The senior led the Eagles
with 13 kills at EV.
The Eagles didn’t start as
fast as they would have liked
on Monday, but still managed to win the first set by a
count of 25-21.
In the next two sets, the
Eagles showed why their near
to top of the SICL standings. Keota ran away from
the Bears in the second set,
25-11, and did the same in
the third, 25-13.
Madison Sheetz finished
with eight kills, while Maggie
Baker recorded six. Setter
Abby Schulte led the team
with 24 assists and six aces.
After the win in North
English, the Eagles came
home for a date with the HLV
Warriors.
The Warriors also showed
why they’re in the hunt for an
SICL title with a 26-24 win in
the first set over Keota.
The first set slipped away
from the Eagles, but Dan
Stout’s squad would fight
back in the next set, dominating HLV with a 25-13
win.
The third set was an even
battle between the teams. The
Keota defense, however, was
the difference in the Eagles’
25-21 win. Brooke Sieren led
her team with 28 digs, while
Callie Greiner added 19.
In the fourth set, the
Eagles ran away from HLV
by a count of 25-14, giving
them their fourth win of the
SICL slate.
Kelsi Sieren continued her
aggressive play and ended up
with 15 kills. Sheetz recorded a team high 16 kills and
Baker added ten. Schulte
dished out an impressive 37
assists in only four sets.
Keota played at rival
Sigourney on Monday and
then
at
Tri-County
on
Thursday. The Eagles will
have a rematch with Sigourney
in the first round of regional play on October 22nd in
Sigourney. The winner will
face Winfield-Mt. Union.
The Bears responded for
the second time in the half
however, this time with quarterback Luke Lamont hitting
Donovan for a 25-yard touchdown pass. West Branch made
the extra point to give the Bears
a 13-12 lead.
Things got worse for the
Cobras late in the first half. A
fumble recovery by the Bears
gave Lamont and the offense
another chance to score – and
they didn’t take it for granted. This time Lamont found
Michael Gould for a 20-yard
touchdown with just seconds
on the clock, putting West
Branch ahead 20-12 at the half.
Lamont finished 14-for-20 with
three touchdowns and an interception.
Nate Sieren got the Cobras
back into the game with a twoyard touchdown run up the
middle late in the third. The
Bears found the end zone again
in the third though, increasing
their lead to 27-18 heading into
the fourth.
With five minutes gone in
the fourth quarter and SK with
the ball, Blaine Gretter took a
found a hole in the middle of
the West Branch defense and
went 15 yards for the score. The
Cobras then converted the twopoint conversion, bringing them
to within 27-26.
The Bears found the end
zone just two minutes later
with Donovan’s third TD reception of the night, giving them a
34-26 lead.
The SK offense kept after
it, still trailing by just one pos-
session, and with less than
three minutes left in the fourth,
Sieren found the end zone
from four yards out, before the
Cobras converted the two-point
conversion to tie the game at
34.
Sieren rushed the ball 25
times for 89 yards and three
touchdowns.
In the first overtime the
teams traded short touchdown
runs, before the Cobras had a
chance to win the game with an
extra point. The Bears blocked
the kick to force a second OT.
In the second overtime,
Sieren found the end zone for
the third time and the Cobras
opted to go for two. West Branch
proceeded to sniff out a run to
Sieren, stopping him for a loss.
Needing seven points to win,
West Branch took the ball and
scored on a ten-yard run by
Lamont. West Branch’s Devin
Kindon then stepped up to hit
the extra point and give the
Bears the win, 47-46.
Defensively,
SK’s
Ben
Horras led the way with 14
tackles, while Peyton Crawford
finished with nine and Cole
Streigle and Jeremiah Green
each tallied seven.
The Cobras will now be
hungry to bounce back on
Homecoming this Friday against
Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.
The Rockets are 4-2 overall with
losses to Wilton and Regina,
before playing West Branch on
the 18th. SK also sits at 4-2
with losses to Wilton and now
West Branch.
