Friday, NFV bowlers travelled to Waukon. 

The boys’ contest looked like a good matchup as the Indians’ had the same record as the TigerHawks at 3-1.

The game was as good as the record indicated with Waukon edging NFV by only 60 pins, 2698-2638. 

Brian Roulson provided most of the highlights as the senior scorched the alleys for a 266-277-543 to top all bowlers. The 277 and 543 are both school records.

The NFV wrestling team returned to the mat Saturday for the Mike Flanagan Tournament in Crestwood. 

The TigerHawks finished an impressive fourth with 142.5 points. Cedar Falls (269), Crestwood (236), and Caledonia, Minn. (197.5), finished one, two, three, respectively.  

What made the NFV results even more impressive was the fact that the team did not field wrestlers in the final three weights.

One word that isn’t in Amie Johansen’s vocabulary is “No.”

There may not be anyone who is more giving of themselves to the community of West Union than Johansen. From volunteering with the West Union Chamber — A Main Street Community to guiding young volleyball players to realize their full potential, to helping citizens at West Union City Hall, no one cares about the community of West Union more than Johansen. 

It’s her tenacious work ethic, warm smile, caring attitude, and love for her community that garners Johansen the honor of being named The Fayette County Union’s 2018 West Union Citizen of the Year.
