Rogers announced he and
the students would be
hosting a Solarbration in
honor of Earth Day.
The event will be at the
middle school and will
begin at 2 p.m. April 22.
The public is encouraged
to attend the event. There
is no fee to attend.
Rogers said the event
will include two 50-foot
solar weather balloons
that they will try to inflate.
A couple of classes of
third-graders are also
scheduled to construct
solar ovens.
Rogers also plans to
have a mini solar house on
display.
The
Okaw
Valley
Timberwolves
dropped
their Little Okaw Valley
Conference opener on the
road to Cerro Gordo by the
score of 8-4 on Monday
night.
OV scored twice in the
second inning on a line
drive double off the bat of
Kyle Pierce, plating Garrett
Sparks. Pierce scored the
Timberwolves’ second run
on an errant pick-off throw
to third.
OV extended its lead to
4-0 in the fourth when Tim
Suddarth walked to start
the inning, moved to third
on another double by
Pierce, then scored, along
with Pierce, when Alex
Corrington doubled to left
field.
Leading by the same
score going into the bottom
of the fourth, the wheels
fell
off
for
the
Timberwolves.
Starter
Aaron Fruchtl, who cruised
through the first three
innings, walked the first
batter, then allowed backto-back singles, plating a
run to make it 4-1. The next
Bronco
to
the
plate
launched a grand slam over
the center field wall making it 5-4 Cerro Gordo. The
Broncos then scored three
unearned runs to close out
the inning on two OV errors
and a hit batter.
The Timberwolves had
opportunities to get back
into the game, including a
controversial play in the
sixth inning when Josh
McLain lifted a ball to deep
center field with a runner
on first base. The center
fielder appeared to have
caught the ball after leaving his feet and falling over
the wall, a play coach
Andrew Hagerman protested should have been ruled
a two-run home run, but to
no avail. OV was unable to
score in the final two
frames and suffered its first
conference loss of the season.
“It was a very frustrating
loss,” Hagerman said. “All
anyone will want to remember or talk about is the
home run we thought Josh
should have been credited,
but that's not the story here.
We unraveled in the fourth
inning when we had a fourrun lead, and if we want to
have a successful season,
we have to learn how to put
a fork in teams instead of
let them hang around or
give them easy runs. It's a
game we could have won,
and honestly should have
won, but we have nobody to
blame but ourselves for this
one. I think we'll be fine,
but this one really hurts. We
want to win the LOVC, and
this wasn't a game we could
afford to lose.”
The
Timberwolves
dropped to 6-7 on the season after falling 5-2 to
Neoga on Tuesday. They
have a three-game home
stand starting Wednesday
when they host LOVC foe
Villa
Grove,
face
Martinsville on Friday in
another LOVC game and
play Decatur St. Teresa on
Saturday at 10 a.m.

CLEVERLY RE-USE
Think about things you throw in the trash, like boxes
and plastic bags. How could you use these in
different ways and NOT throw them away?
