GRUNDY CENTER – For the past six weeks, a group of 16 talented Grundy Center High School students have been practicing for the annual community play – and now they’re finally ready to showcase all their hard work to the folks of Grundy Center.
This year’s play, “For Better or Wurst,” is a comedy in two acts written by Craig Sodaro and produced by special arrangement with Heuer Publishing LLC of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The production promises to keep the audience entertained with a little bit of everything: murder, mystery and plenty of comedy.

Jessica Burgess, 33, of Waverly and formerly of Marshalltown passed away on March 21 at her home. Visitation was held March 25 at the Kaiser-Corson Funeral Home in Waverly. Funeral services were held March 26 at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Waverly.

The Tri-County Minutemen—a high school American Legion team consisting of players from the South Hardin, Grundy Center and BCLUW districts—are ready for another season of baseball coming off of a 4-5-1 mark in their inaugural campaign.
 

There’s a saying that BCLUW boys track and field coach Les Penick has become known for: tradition never graduates. Though the longest tenured coach in the NICL will enter this season with some uncertainty and without a host of returning experience, he’s confident that his group can still become something special as the year goes on.
 
“A lot of question marks,” he said in an interview on Thursday. “Just to start the season (at Tuesday’s Wartburg Co-Ed Meet), we’re going to have six different guys running 800’s and six different guys running 400’s.”
