By Mr. GrandfieldOn February 6, the SWG Elementary K-4 held it’s

third Schoolwide PBIS Celebration, this time following a ‘Frozen’ theme. Each grade enjoyed an ice cream treat, pin the nose on Olaf, knock down the Olaf cups game, and throw the snowballs through Olaf game. While they were rotating from station to station, the students were entertained with the music soundtrack and decorations from the movie ‘Frozen’.

PBIS Schoolwide Celebrations take place when the K-4 student body reaches the goal of Paw Prints on the lunchroom walls. The first schoolwide goal at the begin-ning of the year was 100 Paw Prints (paw prints for Jag-uars). By early September, the kids had met the goal and

SWG Elementary PBIS Frozen Celebration we had a Luau theme for our first celebration.

The next goal was then bumped to 400 total Paw Prints. On the last day before Thanksgiving Break, the kids had met their goal once again. To celebrate that day, we had followed ‘A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving’ theme. The whole K-4 assembled in the gymnasium and we popped popcorn for everyone to eat, while we watched ‘A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving’ on the big screen in the gym.

Our goal for this third go-round was 900 total Paw Prints. By February 6, we had met that goal and reward-ed the kids with their third schoolwide celebration of the year. Our next goal for the year is 1,500 total Paw Prints. We are currently at 972 Paw Prints and well on our way to our next goal.

The Path to the Paws starts with tokens. When stu-dents are seen following the expectations of the Jaguar Journey, performing random acts of kindness, being ex-ceptionally responsible, demonstrating outstanding char-acter, etc. - they receive a token from the school staff member who witnessed the act. When the students col-lect 10 tokens, they take them to the office and cash them in for a Paw Print plus their choice from the PBIS Prize Basket (lunch with a friend, no shoes day, wear a hat day, show your work to the Principal, etc.).

Once a class collects a total of 25 Paw Prints, they get to have a Classroom Celebration (pajama day, movie day, silly socks day, popcorn party day, technology day, etc.). Then they put their 25 Paw Prints up on the Lunch-room wall. From there, the entire K-4 works toward the latest Paw Print Goal, and the rest is history.

At the rate we have been going, we are thinking that we should reach our current goal of 1,500 Paw Prints somewhere around Easter Break – hopefully so we can have our next PBIS Schoolwide Celebration on or before March 27. If you enter our lunchroom you will notice that the Paw Prints have wrapped completely around the room once and are well on their way to wrapping around a second time.

The “real” first immigrant settlers

Gowrie citizens voice concerns abouttraffic cameras installed in community“Will this give Gowrie a black eye?”. . . By Jill Viles

Approximately 25 concerned citizens attended the February 16th Gowrie City Council meeting to voice their opinion regarding the installation of a photo en-forced speeding camera in the Gowrie city limits. De Etta Jacobs of Optotraffic was present at the meeting and of-fered information regarding the proposal. In general, the mood was mixed among the crowd and the council, as it appears many still have questions regarding this technol-ogy and its practicality for Gowrie.

“This is just a tool for your community to en-force your law,” explained Jacobs. “This is not a ‘Big Brother.’ The system doesn’t take your picture if you don’t break the law.”

De Etta Jacobs continued to try to ease fears re-garding the new technology by explaining there is no set number of tickets that must be issued, as well as no main-tenance of the system by the city.

Additionally, if the camera is to be moved, this is the responsibility of Optotraffic. She concluded her introduction by stating the contract can be ended at any time by the city of Gowrie without financial penalty.

Brian Wiklander was the first to raise concerns on behalf of the community. He questioned how often the system would be checked for accuracy. Jacobs ex-plained the camera performs a “self check” once a day. Wiklander went on to question if the chief of the Gowrie Police Department would be required to test the system daily as well, and Jacobs insisted this could be dictated in the contract.

Dave Tjepkes, a retired member of the state highway patrol, also raised concerns regarding due pro-cess. “A lot of people do not understand the difference between civil and criminal penalties,” explained Tjepkes.

“In a criminal case, there is a presumption of in-nocence until one is proven guilty.” This raised additional questions from Tjepkes such as: Who is the prosecutor? What is the validity of the laser reading? In response, Jacobs explained these are issues the city council must decide how to mitigate.

In response to concerns about due process, councilperson Jeff Peterson explained some of the merits of a civil penalty as opposed to a criminal penalty. “As a parent of adult children who sometimes drive my car, I like the idea of being notified that my child is [or children are] speeding. In this type of situation, points are not as-signed against their driving record, and this won’t raise insurance rates. Additionally, you don’t have to fork over $350 to hire an attorney to reduce a criminal penalty to a civil penalty.”

However, many residents voiced concerns that others will not see this as a positive situation, especial-ly those from surrounding communities. Chad Loeske voiced the concerns of many in attendance. “I’m con-cerned this is going to give Gowrie a black eye,” he sug-gested.

“So, you don’t want outsiders to obey your traf-fic laws,” Jacob abruptly responded.

“I think our businesses are most important to our town,” countered Loeske. “We don’t want to lose busi-ness because people don’t want to drive through Gow-rie.”

“It’s not like people are speeding to get to Jam-boree,” offered a citizen in attendance.

“You’d be surprised,” said Jeff Peterson, and this drew a chuckle from the crowd.

Tjepkes refocused the discussion with the ques-tion, “What is the basis to do this? This initiative must be validated by evidence such as a high number of accidents at a particular intersection.”

Police Chief Mc Cormack explained that fortu-nately, Gowrie does not have a lot of accidents—only five were reported last year, and this year, there has been only one. However, the department has received numerous complaint calls regarding speeding around the school. He said Market, Lincoln, and Walnut Streets are cited most frequently. Additionally a school bus driver raised concerns regarding speeding and failure of drivers to obey stop signs, not just the ones on the bus.

Additionally, speeding on 4th street is a concern for bus drivers, as well.

Councilperson, Joe Harrison offered his con-cerns regarding the school. “I have an issue with safety,” he explained. “The school is a mess when the high school lets out, and this is dangerous for the younger kids arriv-ing on buses. We need to see Bruce [Police Chief Mc Cormack] more visible at peak traffic times around the school.”

Chad Loeske agrees. “If you have Bruce [Police Chief Mc Cormack] issue more tickets around the school, word will get around.”

“Personally, this [traffic cameras] is not my fa-vorite choice,” said Mayor Dave Stokesbary. “I’d like to

see more stop signs.” Participants in the crowd suggested they wanted

to know how particular council members felt about the cameras. Most suggested they were on the fence.

“I don’t like the monetary aspect of it,” offered Jeff Peterson. “As far as I’m concerned, revenue from this should just be deposited in the bank.”

Webster County Sherrif, Jim Stubbs, urged cau-tion with regard to the financial aspects of the program. “Ultimately this is going to cost you [the city]. If you look at this as revenue generating, you are living in a cave.”

Stubbs also raised concerns that those passing through Gowrie may feel targeted. “After a while, you’re not going to catch a local,” he suggested. “Word will get around, and it will appear that you are targeting those passing through your community.”

Additional concerns were raised by the public as to how this was going to be a revenue generating opera-tion for Optotraffic, and whether they would pull out of the city due to lack of revenue.

According to Jacobs, they have a contract with a small town in Ohio that averages only one ticket per day. She says Optotraffic has maintained a working relation-ship with this community in spite of low revenue because they are first and foremost about public safety. Jacobs explained that Opotraffic focuses on small to medium sized cities unlike most of the other photo enforced traffic companies that focus on large cities. She did explain that much of their business comes from Ohio and Maryland, and they do not currently have any contracts in Iowa yet.

The “real” first immigrant settlers

I found out something I had suspected – Mr. Google doesn’t always give us the absolute, undeniable facts. When I was writing “From Indian Trail to ???” I found myself wondering if the information I had gleaned was factual. Well, it was and it wasn’t. I was therefore de-lighted to get a letter I had hoped for and expected. It was from Boxholm’s historian, David Peterson. I had questioned those very early settlers to Grant Township as I had always been under the impression that it was Swedish immigrants who first settled the particular area and that many of their descendants are still in residence somewhere close by. It was good to get this confirmed by David – but – let’s let him tell the true story ---

“--Matthias White and Solomon Tomlinson were not the first settlers in Grant Township. –

`` Those two men settled in sections 10 & 15 in l847 in Pilot Mound Township, next to the Des Moines River, about 8 miles east of the future town of Boxholm. The town of Pilot Mound was established and had a Post Office decades before anyone had ever heard of “Box-holm”.

It was 1867 before anyone settled in Grant Township (the area around Boxholm), and they were just considered an extension of the Dayton community. Part of the confusion may be because all of present day Grant Township was originally a part of Pilot Mound Township until 1871; but there were no settlers in what is now Grant Township until l867.

A.P. Sniggs was the first settler in Grant Town-ship, but he didn’t stick around long. Rock Hanson (my dad’s grandfather) was the first permanent settler here. This was about 2-1/2 miles north of present day Box-holm.”

I actually gave a sigh of relief to have this cor-rect information. I can still imagine the topography as I described. I think it was very brave of those Swed-ish people to see the potential around the area and being hardy enough and determined to get the land cleared and

producing as it has over the years. I can still imagine that little knoll being settled upon as a good place to “plant” a town. I have mentioned before that I have three “home towns”, Boxholm is the second home town where I spent my growing up years and where I absorbed family and community values that have remained with me. I like living in Des Moines but I will not forget Boxholm, the Swedish heritage which even though I am not sure of my own, having family ties to U.S. going back several hun-dred years, I have carried with me. I never cared for lute-fisk but through my church affiliations I meet or have met Swedes and Norwegians who still wish they could find the old Scandinavian Smorgasbords featuring that smelly concoction.

So to the descendants of those early immigrant settlers and the new people who have come to the area, please treasure what you have. Small towns have a ca-maraderie you can find no place else.

Thanks again David!

Marilyn Anderson lead singer at Dayton Rodeo for 38 yearsMarilyn lost her arm in a farming accident...By: Nicole Presley

Farming is something Marilyn Anderson is all too familiar with. As a child she helped her father on the farm in Pilot Mound and as a wife and mother she and her children helped her husband Leonard on his family farm.

Born on March 30, 1941 Marilyn was born to Ivar and Gladys Johnson, who had emigrated from Swe-den.

At 11 years old Marilyn was driving a tractor for bailors. During breaks Marilyn helped her mother prepare food for the bailers.

“I learned to cook early. The male balers came in, ate, and mother had it ready. They rested under the tree, I did the dishes and then we went out and baled again,” said Marilyn.

She was involved in 4-H and had many chores, including tending to the chicken flock.

After graduating from Grand Community High School in Boxholm Marilyn attended Iowa State Univer-sity for a short period.

Two years later Marilyn married her husband, Leonard, and moved to his farm in Dayton.

“My uncle always teased me. I went to Iowa State and got my ‘M.R.S.’ That was after two years. I mar-ried Leonard in 1961 and we lived here,” said Marilyn.

Besides helping her husband work on the farm Marilyn is also a consultant for Mary Kay make up prod-ucts.

Maryilyn enjoys singing and played the piano and organ. She has sang at weddings and about two funer-als every month since she was 13 years old. She has also sang at the Dayton Rodeo for 38 years.

Another of her hobbies included sewing. Mari-lyn can’t sew since the loss of her arm during the farm cri-sis in the 1980s. The last thing she had sewn was a rodeo outfit for her daughter Alayna for the 50th anniversary of the Dayton Rodeo.

“It was the first time sequins had ever been used.

So I sewed it for the 50th anniversary of the rodeo. I re-member when I bought that material, because we were in the farm crisis at that time,” said Marilyn.

“I had it laid out all over the living room floor and I really prayed for that because that material was $50 a yard. I made it so it was like chaps on a gaberdine pair of pants so she wouldn’t have to ride on them...I still have the outfit.”

The loss of her arm happened while doing rou-tine farm work one evening. It was about 10:30 p.m. and Marilyn had been working through the night and was un-loading a grain truck.

After unloading the grain from the truck Mari-lyn started to scape the remaining crop with a hoe. When she had finished scraping the grain truck she leaned her hoe against the gear box for the auger.

Ealier she hadn’t checked the shield that her husband had forgotten to put back on.

“I leaned the hoe against this thing and I felt a tug, just a little tug and I said, ‘My God help me.’ I don’t remember a thing until I came back with just my arm up here (Just underneath the elbow). It was twisted off, it was a natural turnicate, because it just twisted off and I had just one big bone that was a splinter,” said Marilyn.

“I don’t know how long that took me, but really I must have had super human strength. Maybe what saved me was the jacket because it was nylon and it might have made the turnicate so tight that it just seared off all the blood vessels.

“They never gave me a transfusion. I pulled my-self out of that and I remember walking into the auger and going around so somebody could shut the tractor off. I got into the truck...put the truck down with the gear box with my feet and drove probably a mile to L. T. Holbert and got help.”

Once she was in the hospital a plastic surgeon treated her arm just below the elbow.

The next day they had planned on taking away a little more of her arm so it would end just above the elbow.

Before this second operation her daugher, Alay-na, called their foot reflexologist who came in at night to help relax tendons and muscle in Marilyn’s arm. Since Marilyn worked with the foot reflexologist they didn’t perform the surgery to take her arm just above the el-bow.

Later doctors suggested she have another sur-gery to accommodate a mechanical arm, but she refused.. She was accustomed to having half of her arm and said the mechanical arm would make her feel clumsy.

Marilyn doesn’t think of herself as handi-capped,. She challenges herself to do new things.

“I do have a problem when I do things. I have to think about how to do them. Sometimes I like to say, ‘Can you do it?’ to see if I can do it or not. So I’m pretty self sufficient,” said Marilyn.

After losing her arm Marilyn went back to Iowa State to finish her degree in family and consumer sci-ences. She substitute teaches at various schools.

“I can always keep kids in school, if I have some time. They’ll say, ‘What’s wrong with your arm? What’s wrong with your arm?’ I can al-ways keep them 45 min-utes telling this story. I like to draw it out,” said Mari-lyn.

She has also giv-en safety talks about losing her arm and has continued to work on the farm.

Marilyn wrote for the Dayton Review on topics relating to religion and politics.

“I’ve always en-joyed doing that. I felt my-self as an educator instead of a fluff writer. I liked to tell people what things were behind the headlines that they were seeing,” said Marilyn.

The Central Plains FFA Chapter in Gowrie, Iowa will celebrate National FFA Week, Feb. 21-28. This year’s theme is Go All Out! and it embraces more than 80 years of FFA traditions while looking forward to the organization’s future.

More than half a million members will participate in National FFA Week activities at local, state and national levels. These members have a passion for agriculture.

Designated as National FFA Week in 1947, the week of George Washington’s birthday is FFA Week, and runs from Saturday to Saturday. FFA Week gives FFA members an opportunity to educate the public about agriculture. During the week, chapters conduct a variety of activities to help others in their school and community learn about FFA and agricultural education.

Today’s FFA members are the innovators and lead-ers of tomorrow. Through agricultural and hands-on learning, they are preparing for more than 300 career opportunities in the food, fiber and natural resources in-dustry.

National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Sup-ply Company as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.

Sixteen members attended a leadership building workshop sponsored by the Iowa FFA Enrichment Center in April of 2014. That chapter set goals for the 2015-16 school year.Students evaluating soils at Iowa Lakes Community

Memorial Weekend campsite reservations available soon

The three month window to reserve a state park campsite for a Friday arrival on Memorial Day weekend opened Sunday, Feb. 22. But more than a few campers have their sites already reserved arriving on the weekend before Memorial Day and staying through the holiday.

“Campers can make reservations for sites three months ahead of their first night stay,” said Todd Coffelt, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources State Parks Bureau, “and we had a flurry of reservations when campers began getting their sites for a two-week stay that includes the Memorial Day weekend.”

Most parks will have nonelectric sites available for the Memorial Day Weekend. Not every campsite is avail-able on the reservation system. Parks maintain between 25 and 50 percent of the electric and nonelectric sites as non-reservation sites, available for walk up camping.

Information on Iowa’s state parks is available on-line at www.iowadnr.gov including the link to reser-vations. Campers can also log on directly to http://iowastateparks.reserveam-erica.com; enter their pre-ferred amenities and re-quirements, dates and/or parks to see what sites are available and make a reser-vation.

March hunting, fishing tipsFrom Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. . . Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World Tips presents free, seasonal how-to advice from Larry Whiteley, host of the award-winning Outdoor World Radio show. Each weekly tip offers practical advice to improve your skills. Tips offered for March include:How Weather Affects Walleye FishingThe best times for walleye fishing are when choppy con-ditions create current, diminish light penetration, and stir up shallow water causing baits to be more active. Know-ing these conditions can be your key to reeling in a big catch.Jerking Crappie Jerking gets the attention of crappie because they can’t resist the slow fluttering fall. Learning this new skill can help you catch a mess of speckled perch.What to Look for in a Turkey Vest Turkey vests help keep your gear organized and accessible. Make your hunt successful by ensuring that you have all the gear you need within easy reach.Tips for Catching White Bass The most exciting time to fish for America’s most popular gamefish, white bass, is during their annual spring spawning run up streams and rivers. Be ready to fish during this time to increase your chances of frying up a limit of these good eating fish.Using Woodsmanship Skills to Hunt Turkeys Being a good woodsman means learning to identify turkey hotspots such as where they roost, water, feed, and their different strutting areas. Finding the roost is your first step to success.

Mayor Richard Travis Attest


Hope - the winning sideAre we a people with hope in our lives? I trust we

are. We should never give up hope for our children. We should never give up hope for ourselves and we should never give up hope for this broken, bruised and bungling world. Never, ever give up hope, because if we let hope die, we will die with it. As long as we keep hope alive, hope will keep us alive.

Our spirits are made for hoping. Our spirits cannot live without hope anymore than our lungs can breathe without air. Hope is the work of the human heart the way thinking is the work of the human brain.

Hope energizes us, fear paralyzes us. Hope empow-ers us, fear weakens us. Hope lifts us up, fear drags us down. The question of everybody’s life is: will we live by hope or will we live by fear?

Hope is personal power to strive for the good things we want. Every good thing that any man or woman has ever accomplished was begun by the power of hope. No writer ever put words on a paper without the hope that something worthwhile would be read. No business per-son has ever launched a new business without the hope of being a success.

Hope is the fuel that powers us. But there should be a warning label on every package of hope. Caution: Hope can break your heart. We all have instances of high hopes in our lives that have crashed on the painful rocks of reality.

At an AIDS clinic in Los Angeles, a young man came in for his weekly treatment, but this time he faced a new doctor, who, without so much as looking at him, said ca-sually, “you know, don’t you, that you won’t live out the year?” The young man went out weeping and stopped at a friend’s house on the way home he said “that doctor took away my hope!”

When one hope dies, do we have another? Do we have a hope that survives the heart break of lost hope? When God gets into our hoping, hope goes beyond a faith that good things are possible. God has promised good things for us to hope for. Hope moves beyond a belief that good things are possible. Hope becomes a trust that good things are promised.

What did God promise? He promised that when we

are losing control, He will be there to hold us up. “I will be there with you.” This is the promise of God. This is the hope that lives when other hopes die.

When God in in our hopes, we have hope for a world where little children can play in safety; hope for a world where no mother ever has to watch her baby starve; hope for a world where no adult ever abuses a child and a hope for a world where all God’s children, of all races, join hands and praise the Lord.

Until next week...when we are with God and with our hopes, we are on the winning side. Love is go-ing to win. Life is going to win. God is going to win.

Prairie Valley School Board debates reasons for tax levy defeat Feb. 3New tax levy vote set April 7. . . By Jill Viles

The Prairie Valley School Board met the evening of Thursday February 19th at 6:30 P.M. in the high school library. Typically the monthly school board meeting is held on the third Wednesday of each month, but due to Ash Wednesday services, the date was rescheduled.

The school board opened with a warm welcome for those in attendance and expressed an open invitation for members of the public to come and learn more about happenings in the district.

The meeting commenced with a discussion of pend-ing bills and a review of financial reports.

Board Secretary, Lisa Willardson, expressed interest in a closer examination of the utility bills in particular. She stated that the high school utility bill involves three different providers of utility servicing, and it would be helpful to break down costs to see if there are areas to investigate for lower utility bills.

The board also suggested it would be helpful to re-ceive reports at least a week in advance of scheduled meetings so they have more time to review the material.

The resignation of bus driver, John Lomicka, was accepted. Lomicka has announced his retirement from the district. The board wishes to express their deep grati-tude for many years of dependable service.

It was announced the board plans to receive pre-sentations from various extracurricular activities at each meeting; however, they were left “speechless” as the SVHS Large Speech Group did not appear. Apparently, members of the group were attending the State Wrestling Tournament.

It is not clear if they will present at the next meeting or if another group will be assigned.

Following this, potential options for laptop upgrades for staff were considered. The cost of replacement units for 70 staff members is $47,265. It was noted that all the laptops could be ordered now, but payment must be received at this time. Alternatively, half could be ordered now, and half after July 1st. Superintendent, Lois Irwin, suggested the district wait until a second proposed vote of the PPEL.

In response, the board posed several questions in-cluding whether the current laptop technology is current or obsolete. According to technology director, Vicki Johnson, many teachers are “having lots of issues.” In addition to out of date software, teachers have reported fans and batteries going out, as well as power cord dif-ficulties.

School board vice-president, Gary Welter, ques-tioned if a yearly stipend could suffice to both maintain a laptop and/or be saved for current upgrade needs. Welter states that his employer has used this type of program with success.

Board member, Heidi Mc Guire, agrees. “You know if it [the laptop] is yours, you’re going to take better care of it.” However, Johnson shared several concerns re-garding this type of arrangement. “The problem with everyone buying their own is that you’d have to make sure everyone is current with antivirus programs,” she explained.

“Additionally, if everyone picks out their own com-puter, we have to make sure they can all join a particular domain.” A second option proposed by the board in-volves purchasing new laptops on a rotational basis so the district doesn’t have to absorb such a large purchase all at once.

“This is exactly why we needed to pass the PPEL,” emphasized board president, Shannon Miller, in response to the discussion. “We need to secure sufficient funding to make these decisions.” At this point, Miller proposed tabling the discussion until a future date.

Two motions carried readily. The board voted to continue the existing 28E with regard to the use of Gow-rie’s baseball diamond for the purpose of Little League. Additionally, the Good Conduct Policy was approved with the change in wording from “semester” to “trimes-ter.” Tax levy defeatdebated by board

A spirited discussion of the recent PPEL vote fol-lowed. It was noted that the property tax levy passed two to one in Farnhamville, but was defeated two to one in Callender. In Gowrie, the vote was just shy of approval.

“This is a loss based on complacency,” insisted su-perintendent, Lois Irwin. “I tried to carry this all on my own, and that doesn’t work. I should have organized community committees.”

A board member expressed shock that the measure was defeated. “I never heard a negative word. I was shocked,” he insisted.

However, other members of the board presented dif-ferent points of view. They described contrary opinions regarding the purpose of the tax levy. It was explained

that some members of the voting public believed the funds would go toward the building of a new softball/baseball field, while others believed the funds would be used to rebuild the high school itself.

Superintendent, Lois Irwin, suggested it seemed incredulous that voters would mistakenly believe an in-crease in $300,000 per year for the PPEL would be suf-ficient to build an entire high school building.

She insisted that, in retrospect, she needed to orga-nize meetings in Gowrie and surrounding communities to explain where funds would be directed.

“People are mad that we put in new bleachers,” ex-plained vice president, Gary Welter. “They said that’s just throwing money away.”

However, Willardson pointed out, “It’s impractical to hold sporting events in the elementary gymnasium.”

Board member, Joe Harrison, raised another point to consider when considering a second PPEL vote. “My generation likes to see something in print,” he explained. “We should mail a pamphlet to everyone in the district. I talked to people who didn’t even know there was a vote.”

Willardson concurred. “When people call in on the phone to ask me questions, they really want to know…we need ‘X’ amount of money…and we need it for this. Basically, we need to focus on the things you can’t argue with: safety and transportation.”

“If we want to keep schools in our district, we need to pay to keep them up,” concluded Shannon Miller.

At this point, discussion was tabled, but it was ap-proved to bring the PPEL up for a vote on April 7th, 2015.

The Jaguars’ State Tournament run ended a bit too soon for Seniors Spencer Johnson and Caleb Hemmestad during Thursday’s opening 2A round but both wrestlers have a lot to be proud as they represented the Jags for the first time.

In the opening match, Spencer was defeated by 4th ranked and eventual State runner-up Derek Holschlag of La Porte City/Union 13-4. In the consolation round, Spencer couldn’t find his groove, losing 19-6 to #7 ranked Travis Pulse of Davenport Assumption. Spencer finished his season 40-8. Caleb lost to #7 Blake Lawless of Albia 14-2 in the first round and dropped a 19-3 technical fall to #9 Wyatt Rhoads of Gilbert in the consolations. Caleb finished his season at 29-17.

“The guys were disappointed they couldn’t quite get out of the first day of wrestling but they enjoyed the experience. After some self-reflection, Spencer didn’t make excuses but indicated he just didn’t wrestle well. He just couldn’t get his mind and body to sync together. That happens sometimes to kids who wrestle the first time in the Well. It’s a different atmosphere and buzz. He made some mistakes with his hips and positioning he really hasn’t made all season.”

“Caleb gave it a hard go against two solid kids but came up short. He has had quite a season. Caleb in-dicated he didn’t start wrestling until his freshman year. Qualifying in just four years of wrestling is pretty impres-sive. We wish we had a couple more years with him.”
