GC school board hires assistant wrestling coach

GRUNDY CENTER – For more than a year now, the Grundy Center School Board has discussed the potential of creating an independent, Grundy Center Spartan wrestling team.
At last week’s meeting, the board took the next step towards building that program when they created a position for an assistant wrestling coach, and hired Colby Grothoff to fill it.
Grothoff – who teaches social studies at the high school – has two years of previous varsity coaching experience with the wrestling team at Hudson High School.

And the sun will set for you

I won’t lie and proclaim myself the world’s most enthusiastic Linkin Park diehard, but for people my age, it’s hard to overstate how ubiquitous the band was during the time period when most of us were first becoming music fans. The nine-note piano introduction to “In the End” will be etched in our brains for eternity, along with the “Numb/Encore” Jay-Z remix and the theme songs that they wrote for the first two “Transformers” movies before the series went completely off the rails.

Rebel baseball falls to Hudson in district final

TRAER – During a postseason run where defense was king, the Gladbrook-Reinbeck baseball team met its match in a Class 1A district final last Saturday night.
   Hudson was just as sharp defensively and had the right mixture of big hits and sound fundamentals to take advantage of a brief lapse in the Rebels' otherwise-sterling defense, pouncing on the opening in a 3-2 victory for the Pirates and ending G-R's season at 15-9.
