The South Winneshiek football team concluded its 2018 season with a tough, 53-39, loss to District champion Mason City, Newman on Friday night in Calmar.

“We put ourselves in a hole in the first half with missed tackles and turnovers,” said Warrior coach Jason Ohrt. “Our kids kept playing, but we ran out of time to get back in the game in the fourth quarter.”

Newman scored 21 points in the opening quarter to South Winn’s seven, which came on a 10-yard run by junior Jaron Todd. The score was Todd’s eighth rushing touchdown of the season.

In the second quarter, the Warrior pass game began to emerge as sophomore Jacob Herold threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Carter Wenthold and a 34-yard score to Colin Wiltgen.

The Knights also found the end zone often in the second quarter as they scored three times, making a halftime score of 40-20.

In the third quarter, Mason City, Newman scored two rushing touchdowns to pull out to a 53-20 lead.

The Warriors added three touchdowns in the final quarter of the season as Herold connected with Cole Klimesh from 54 yards away and Noah Tieskoetter from both 66 yards and 35 yards to make a final score of 53-39.

“I was proud of the effort (that) our young team gave each week, despite all the injuries we sustained this season,” closed Ohrt for the final time in 2018.

The South Winn volleyball team advanced in its 1A Regional matchup last week as it defeated Postville, 3-0 (25-7, 25-14, and 25-18), on Tuesday, Oct. 16.

“Postville is one of those teams you never want to overlook because they can get some fire in them and become really scrappy on defense,” said Warrior coach Glenna Munuswamy. “You hope that your girls have the right mentality to stay focused and aggressive in these matches and we did just that. They (South Winn) had a win on their minds and played with a high level of intensity.”

A new pizza joint is coming to Ossian, and its owners have tall goals to please each and every one of their customers.

“We will offer a build-your-own-pizza style that uses a crust and sauce recipe from Borderline Pizza out of Forest City,” said Mark and Annette Zweibohmer, the owners of Two Trees Pizza on Main Street Ossian. “We got the name because ‘two trees’ is the German translation of our last name, Zweibohmer.”

Joining Mark and Annette in managing and working for the family-owned business will be their kids, Montanah, Adrianna, and Alyssa. While Alyssa is not yet old enough to officially work, she plans to help the family promote the business by advertising along Main Street in her pizza costume.
