  • Players' Coach

    As a four-year letterman on the Wartburg College football team, Brian Albert rarely left the field.

    Over his career he started nearly every game, 14 of them on both offense and defense, led the team in tackles three times and rushing once, played on every special team and even called the defenses in the huddle.

    “I used to tell the coach coming off the field is more trouble than it’s worth, just keep me in,” Albert said.

  • East Mills shut outs Hamburg,...

    The East Mills football team sealed up the No. 2 seed in Eight man, District 8 with a 58-0 victory at Hamburg on Friday.

    But more importantly than that, said East Mills coach Andy Irwin, whose team had locked up its playoff status a week earlier, was the return of senior quarterback Jake Bolton. Bolton was limited to punting only in the previous three games while he nursed a right (throwing) shoulder injury. Bolton returned under center on Friday, played most of the first half, and completed 7-of-11 passes for 111 yards and three touchdowns.

    If Glenwood long distance runner Johnny Fuller has any questions about what it takes to win a gold medal at the state track meet, he need look no further than Ram assistant coach Todd Peverill.

    Peverill knows a thing or two about state gold medals. As a gangly, long-haired senior at Waterloo East in 1979, Peverill blistered the Drake Stadium Track to a state-meet record of 4:13.65 in the 1,600-meters. It’s a record that stands to this day.
