The NFV cross country team will kick off the 2019-2020 sports season at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 27 in Edgewood. 

The TigerHawks will be one of 14 teams at the first big meet of the season. Among the teams attending are UIC foes Central/Elkader, Kee, Postville, South Winn, and Turkey Valley.

Last year both the NFV boy’s varsity and JV teams finished second. The varsity lost to SW by a mere eight points and the JV to C/E by only two points.

The girl’s, led by Brynn Gamm’s 10th-place finish, finished seventh; they did not field a JV team.

The other fall sports will be close behind the cross country opening meet.

Football will begin its season on Friday, Aug. 30 when it hosts Class 3A Waverly-Shell Rock.

The NFV football team will be on display Friday night in Delhi as the annual Sports Drink Scrimmage goes on the road to Maq. Valley.

  Admission is still a bottle of any kind of sports drink that is so necessary for hydration, especially early in the season. The two teams will split the proceeds.

  New NFV head coach Justin Heins said, “We’re really excited about this because it gives our young team a chance to gain experience against a team that we know nothing about. It also gives us a chance to test some new schemes as well as test some people at new positions before the season gets started.”

The South Winneshiek baseball team continued its strong season as it closed out the 2019 regular season and officially began postseason play.

North Fayette Valley

The Warriors opened the week Monday, July 8, with a non-conference win over North Fayette Valley by a score of 7-1.

“After almost a week off, I felt we were a bit sluggish offensively in the game,” assessed coach Alex Smith after the win. “Our pitching and defense continue to be a strength and we were able to capitalize late in the game offensively to secure the win.”

The Warriors were led by sophomore Jacob Herold who plated two runs in a pinch hitting spot. Sophomore Cael Kuboushek also had a stellar day that included three doubles and a pair of stolen bases. Noah Tieskoetter also added to his total number of stolen bases as he had four and currently sits at 51 on the season, the second most among all classes.

The TigerHawk dropped a pair of sacrifice bunts during the game. She was safe on his one, and the other brought fellow freshman Alyssa Bohr home all the way from first for NFV’s final run of the 4-2 win. (Jerry Wadian photo)
