Veterans honored at 150th Memorial Day
Teenage driver on probation By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com
By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Vietnam veteran Doug Wean reminded his listeners Monday of the importance of honoring those who have given their lives fighting for their country. “Sacrifice means nothing without remembrance,” he told the large crowd gathered for the Memorial Day service on Kable Square in downtown Mt. Morris. “Historically this is an important day,” Wean said. “Since the day the British at Lexington killed our first American soldier in battle, Robert Monroe on April 19, 1775, to last month when Staff Sgt. Matthew McClintock was killed in action in Afghanistan, it is the day we remember over 1.2 million Americans who have sacrificed their lives for us in war from 1776 to 2016.” A hospital corpsman during the Vietnam War, Wean earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his service and is one of the most highly decorated enlisted men from that conflict. He went on the recount Mt. Morris’ 150 years of annually remembering the sacrifices of its soldiers beginning with the first decoration day celebration held in May of 1866. It all began, he said, with the community’s Civil War veterans founding their organization in March of 1865. They named it the Lt. James M. Smith Post 720 of the Grand Army of the Republic after the Mt. Morris soldier who had joined Company H

of the Rock River Rifles, part of the Illinois Regiment. Smith died on Jan. 1, 1863 leading a charge against a Confederate outpost. “Today in Mt. Morris and across America, we share in the 150th anniversary of Memorial Day,” Wean said. “They would have met here, on the old college campus; there would be that camaraderie that courses through combat veterans from every war. “There would be those memories of the comrades they lost: 204,074 in their war. And we remember the 53,513 killed in World War I, the 293,121 in World War II, the 33,939 in the Korean War, the 57,786 in the Vietnam War, and the 6,865 killed in action during the Persian Gulf War, the Iraq War, the Afghanistan War, and the Islamic State Campaign begun in 2015. “Today we think of our Civil War veterans here in Mt. Morris, who began this celebration of memories 150 years ago right here where

of deceased veterans from World War II to the present. The ceremony concluded with a 21-gun salute by the Mt. Morris American Legion Honor Guard and “Taps.”
The Stillman Valley teenager charged in a crash that killed two people last September pleaded guilty last week to two counts of reckless homicide. Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow said Alison Seiler, now 18, was sentenced May 26 to probation with numerous conditions until her 21st birthday in October of 2018. The investigation showed that Seiler, then 17, was speeding last Sept. 4 when she failed to stop for a stop sign at the intersection of Big Mound Road and Ill. 251 near Davis Junction. Andy Conderman, 64, Amboy, and Emily Fleming, 17, Stillman Valley, died in the ensuing crash. Seiler was charged as a juvenile in February with two counts of reckless homicide and two counts of aggravated reckless driving. Two counts were dismissed as part of a plea agreement. Morrow said the conditions of the probation sentence include counseling; 200 hours of community service work,at least 40 of which must be related to education against reckless or impaired driving; not operating a motor vehicle; attending college or seeking and maintaining employment, and apologies to the victims’ families. “I think it’s a fair resolution to the case,” Morrow said. “She has already apologized to the families.

Village board OKs cutting tree By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The Mt. Morris Village Board agreed May 24 to allow a property owner to remove a large soft maple tree because it is intertwined with electrical wires. The board approved an agreement with Tony Kurzac for a tree on the parkway, which is village property, in front of 102 W. Main St.
Kurzac recently purchased the property and is remodeling the house on it. He asked the village board May 10 to split the cost of removing the tree. However, trustee Tim Harvey said no money was budgeted for the project. Kurzac said a utility pole is next to the large tree, and he is concerned a storm could cause the tree to fall, taking the wires with it. The agreement approved
May 24 gives Kurzac permission to have the tree cut at his own cost with the village grinding the stump and planting two trees to replace it. Harvey said he is reluctant to remove a healthy tree, but shares Kurzac’s concern about the potential hazard. Trustee Jeff Pennington questioned if the village will be responsible if the utilities or something else is damaged while the tree is
being removed. Village attorney Rob LeSage said the agreement should include a clause indemnifying the village. In a related matter, village president Dan Elsasser said ComEd and the National Arbor Day Foundation will donate 100 trees of five different species to the village. The saplings will be two to four feet tall when they arrive.

Grobe to perform at season’s first Friday night concert The Mt. Morris Jamboree will open its fifth annual free concert series with local legend Lyle Grobe and the Rhythm Ramblers on Friday, June 3 at 7 p.m. at the Reckmeyer Band Shell in downtown Mt. Morris. This band, who has appeared during all four Friday Concert seasons, always has the crowds linedancing on the grass to toetapping while sitting in lawn chairs and the new benches. Lyle Grobe has been performing for many years starting in the early 1950s with two brothers, Harry and Richard Hackbarth. They appeared at many shows in the Lee County area for years. They began moving into the Ogle County area in the late 50s at venues such as Castle Rock Bar on Ill. 2 near Oregon. Grobe then went a different direction later on where he was a radio announcer for WIXN, now River Country 101.7. He then began an era in his life of being a night club owner when he owned and managed Skyline Lounge near Dixon.
During this time some of the current Rhythm Ramblers joined him. Many years have come and gone and Grobe still, with the love of music, keeps the band going by having weekly band rehearsals in his garage both summer and winter. Many a musician has stopped and “picked” a tune or two. The lead guitarist in the band is Frank Evans, Sterling. Evans was an important player in the Skyline days bringing his lead guitarist experience to the stage. The drummer in the band has been with Grobe since the Skyline days also. Dennis Milby, Sterling, plays the drums and also does a lot of back-up singing with Grobe during performances. The bass player these days is none other than Marvin Kunde, who comes to the band with experience and a background that also put him in the radio field for a time also deejaying at WIXN back in the day. He then went on to being the head chef at White Pines for a period of time.

Lisa Allen-Grobe is the female singer in the band. Coming from Sterling, she has been with the band for a few years. Jim Miller returns to the band after playing with them back in the 70s, bringing his talent to the Ramblers with keyboard, harmonica, banjo and singing skills. The two-hour show is free to the public with any donations being entirely
optional. Concessions for the evening are provided by the Mt. Morris Community Women’s Club, who will be serving hamburger barbecue, chips, fruit, and cookies starting at 6 p.m. Come to town early and have a look at all the good locally grown produce and other foods and crafts available at the Mt.

concert and concessions is the Mt. Morris Moose Lodge on Moose Drive just off of East Hitt Street at the same times.

Hop on over to FHN for a Saturday of healthy family fun! The Family YMCA of Northwest Illinois and FHN are teaming up to bring you the region’s best healthy activities, wellness tips, and lots of fun to kick off your summer – all in one day! Research shows that without access to out-of-school physical and learning activities, kids fall behind academically and gain weight twice as fast during summer as during the school year. Come out to Healthy Kids Day®, a national YMCA initiative, and the FHN Family Health Fair at FHN’s Burchard Hills facility to kick start some healthier summer behaviors. Activities include archery, a teen agility course and CATCH activities, an obstacle course, bike rodeo and photo booth, and many other games and demonstrations as well as all kinds of fun and useful healthcare information. Roller skate on the bike path with the Skate Station, walk the Born Learning Trail with the United Way of Northwest Illinois, discover antique medical equipment with the Stephenson County Historical Society or learn about science at the Children’s Hands On Museum booth. Dance to live music provided by Big Radio! All activities are free and events will be held come rain or shine. For more information, visit www.fhn.org and spring into a healthy summer with the Family YMCA of Northwest Illinois and FHN!

Oregon Elementary students met with school board A group of students from Oregon Elementary School is already taking the initiative to ensure they’re getting the most out of their education. Six elementary school students met with the OCUSD Board of Education last week to advocate in favor of student-led classrooms; a program that allows for the students to take an increased role in daily lessons and classroom functions. The group of third graders created their own Powerpoint presentation outlining their support of the program and how they’ve benefitted from taking more responsibility in their education. The group would like to see an increase in studentled classroom initiatives throughout the school district, from elementary to high school.Â
Currently, the Open Program at Oregon High School allows for an increased role in personal education and has a high success rate among students. Students participating in a student-led classroom are given increased responsibilities in the workflow and operations within their class. The school year begins as normal with a teacher designed lesson plan. As the year progresses, teachers guide the students to dictate which topics should be discussed and help them to plan hands-on activities. Toward the end of the year, students are allowed to design their own lesson plan and have nearly full leadership of the types of activities in the classroom. “It’s amazing to see kids as
young as eight and nine years old leading a presentation in front of a school board,� said OES third grade teacher Nicole Holmes. “Even at such a young age, they’re taking their education very seriously. It speaks volumes about the effectiveness of student-led classrooms and the impact it can have on a young mind.� Oregon High School’s Open Program follows a similar model to studentled classrooms by allowing students to participate in vocational studies and design projects with teacher approval. Student-led initiatives are thought to enhance learning by placing more accountability at the student level, which leads to greater Third graders addressed the Oregon School Board May 16.

Reading Matters Help readers all summer long By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist School is out for the summer and schedules change. For this month we’ll look at several ways we can help our children and grandchildren include some reading in those summer schedules. The importance of reading during the summer months has been studied extensively and results indicate that students who do not read in the summer lose skills, often falling below reading levels they achieved during the
school year. It can be compared to an athlete who for some reason sits out a season and/or the off-season training. It takes time to get back to the same performance levels they had previously. There are a few key ideas to consider. One is that time spent reading does matter. It would be best if it was a regular amount of time daily, but you could also work with your children or grandchildren to set a weekly goal. Fifteen to 30 minutes a day would be enough to make a difference. More than that would be a bonus. A second idea is to consider a broad definition
of the kinds of texts to read. Include all kinds of books, magazines, recipes, instructions or directions, or web-based reading on various Internet sites. Books, of course, can be electronic versions which may offer more appeal. Any reading done in the course of every day events can count. Think about the reading you do in a program you receive at a baseball game or a play. You might keep a log of all the different kinds of reading your family does over the summer. Also consider reading a wide variety of genres. Your children might set a goal to read at least four or five different genres over the
summer. A public librarian can help you locate new kinds of books to try. You might have them keep a journal or a log and encourage them to write a response to each genre read trying to decide which genres they like and why. Finally it is important to have materials to read. Our local public libraries have active and engaging summer reading programs for all ages. The staff members are happy to help you locate

One second separates first from Hawk relay team 4x400 takes third at state meet May 28 By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Less than one second. That’s all the separated the Oregon 1,600-meter relay team from a 1A state title. At the IHSA track and field track meet in Charleston on Saturday, the foursome of Carson Buck, Andrew Newman, Mitchell Nehrkorn, and Caleb Mennen finished in the third place behind 1,600 relay teams from Rockridge and St. Joseph-Ogden in a closely-contested race from the first lap to the last. “It’s very special, almost surreal,” Nehrkorn said. “I’m glad to go out with a bang on my very last high school sporting event. To be top three in the state is a tremendous accomplishment.” On Thursday, the Hawks ran a season best of 3:28.40 to win their preliminary heat and beat St. Joe (3:28.73), giving them second best time going into the finals. Rockridge’s 3:27.77 was the top time, setting up the three schools for a battle royale in the finals. Their performance on Saturday thrilled the crowd of 10,000 at O’Brien Field on the Eastern Illinois campus. The rangy, smoothrunning Buck started off first and handed off to Newman nearly even. Newman, kept the pace close on the second leg on Saturday. With all three teams jockeying for position and Rockridge and St. Joe gaining a slight advantage, it was still anyone’s race to win with Nehrkorn making a kick down the final straightaway. “It was a great race,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “Our splits were consistently even.” Mennen, who switched from second leg to anchor with Newman for the state tournament, did all he could to narrow the gap on Rockridge and St. Joe, but could not any closer than three meters. It appeared as though he might make a final push, ala Garret Newman in 2013, but the two runners in front were too far ahead. Rockridge edged St. Joe 3:26.73 to 3:26.85,
ironically in a reversal of the state championship basketball finish between the two schools, with Oregon crossing the finish line in 3:27.50 for another season best. Dwight was a distant fourth at 3:30. “You can’t be upset with a PR. If you want to get one, this is where to do it,” Mennen said. “It’s also an honor to maintain Oregon’s tradition in the 1,600 relay.” Since 1995, the Hawks have medaled 10 times in the 1,600 relay, making it the signature event for one of Illinois’ most storied small-school programs. It was also the 22nd time a relay has placed downstate under Spratt, who is recognized as one of the top relay coaches in the state. “We ran about at our physical limit for the race,” he said. “It was just that the two teams ahead of us performed a bit faster.” Oregon picked up one more medal, giving them eight points for the meet. Konner Wilson repeated as a state-placer in the 300-intermediate hurdles, running a time of 40.96, good for ninth. Wilson suffered from a stomach ailment all weekend. “On Thursday, I had to intentionally kick down two hurdles to finish,” Wilson said. “I was going to do whatever I had to, to make sure it wasn’t my last race.” Running from the first lane in Saturday’s finals, Wilson kept up with the leaders for the first part of the race and faded down the stretch. “He sucked it up to make to make the finals, but was sapped of his energy,” Spratt said. “That’s too bad. We thought he might challenge for the title.” Sophomore Bret Dannis of Peru St. Bede, won the event with a time of 38.89. Dannis also won the 110 high hurdles, leading his team to a second place finish, behind 1A team champ New Berlin. “I thought I might feel better than on Thursday, but the pain was the same,” Wilson said. “I’m just happy to make it this far.” In the shot put and discus, Johns Ghibellini advanced to the finals, but missed the medal podium with a pair of 11th-place finishes. In the discus preliminaries, Ghibellini stood in eighth place with an effort of 150feet-0. In the finals, three throwers behind Ghibellini

improved, pushing him to 11th. The ninth-place medalist had a 154-10 throw. “John was trying to bump it up and go after it,” Spratt said. “He went down trying hard. Nobody throwing the discus tries harder than him.” Ghibellini’s 50-2 ½ mark in the shot put advanced him to the finals as the 11th best putter. He needed seven more inches to get the final place. Oregon also was in the 3,200 relay finals, with Arne Wendler, Izzy Marcos, Newman and Ian Hussung joining Ghibellini as 11th-place finishers. Disappointingly, their time of 8:24.79 was slower than their prelim qualifier of 8:20.17. “Izzy had a 2:03 split, but the other three had off days,” Spratt said. Rockford Christian won in near record time of 7:54, with Byron taking fifth at 8:12. By the time Hussung the anchor got the baton, Oregon was fifty meter away from any chance for a medal. “Next year, there will be an improvement,” said Newman, who returns, along with Hussung and injured Michael Bowers. “I think my problem today was eating too much for breakfast.” The five state finalists were the most for Oregon

since 2013, when they also had five. The year before, they had six finalists. “I’m going to miss my teammates and coaches,” Wilson said. “It was an honor to be a part of track at Oregon. It helped me face personal challenges head on and learn life lessens. But,
I’m ready to move on to the next stage.” State competitors Brayton Finch, Wilson, Ghibellini, Buck, and Nehrkorn are seniors that will be missed next year. “We had great senior leadership,” Spratt said. “At the beginning of the year,
if you would have told me we’d have four relays qualify for state and then send five events to the state finals, I’d take that, especially after the last couple years.” “I don’t think it could have been any better of a season,” Buck said.
Hawks track team competitive at state prelims By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com With the 1,600-meter relay of Carson Buck, Andrew Newman, Mitchell Nehrkorn, and Caleb Mennen winning their heat of Thursday’s 1A state track and field preliminaries, Oregon capped off a successful day at Charleston. That event was one of five that moved onto to Saturday finals at O’Brien Field. “That’s something to build off of,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “We had to fight through adversity and really needed the 1,600 relay to come through for us.” Running anchor, Mennen held off St. Joseph-Ogden on the final 200 meters after Nehrkorn handed him the baton in first place. It was a close race from start to finish. “What’s nice about our relay is no one runner is better than any other,” Nehrkorn Oregon’s Konner Wilson clips the final hurdle during the 300 meter hurdles Thursday during state track in Charleston. said. “We’re all about the same and have experience.” Photo by Michael Krabbenhoeft, Sauk Valley Media
The key to the race may have been a brilliant exchange between the long-armed Newman and Nehrkorn, effectively gaining five meters over St. Joe. Last year, the same four runners missed the finals by two places, running a 3:30.03 in the prelims. “It was nice to come down with the same four and achieve our goal of placing,” Buck said. In the 3,200 relay, Arne Wendler, Izzy Marcos, Newman and Ian Hussung ran 8:20 to also qualify for the finals. That was the ninth best time of the day, with Rockford Christian’s 7:59 tops. Keyed by a 1:58 split by Hussung, the 8:20 was a season best for the relay and within range of what could medal. In a very competitive 400 relay, Konner Wilson, Buck, Nehrkorn and anchor Brayton Finch broke 44 seconds for the first time all season but failed to advance Turn to B2

Hawks compete at state From B1 out of the preliminaries. Last year, two teams made the finals with times above 44 seconds. “That’s the fastest race I’ve ever had – it was go hard or go home,” Finch said. There were five other teams under 44 that did not make the finals, a rarity in 1A. “It’s only the second time since I’ve been at Oregon that we’ve had a 400 relay go under 44 seconds and not make the finals,” Spratt said. Wilson came back to make the finals of the 300 hurdles for the second year in row. It didn’t come without a struggle, as he was nipped at the tape by freshman Mason Barr of Lexington, 40.3040.32. His time held up for eighth best, moving him on. “My legs wouldn’t do what I wanted them to. I woke up sweating and vomiting,” said Wilson, who did not advance in the high hurdles. Senior John Ghibellini came up big in the throwing rings, advancing in both the shot put and discus, with efforts of 50-2 1/1 and 150-0. “I had good feeling and didn’t feel nervous at all being down here,” Ghibellini said. “It’s helps having coach Engle here. He’s the best coach I’ve ever had.” Ghibellini’s practice
partner, Kole Mowry, also competed at Charleston, throwing 142-1 in the discus. “It was fun to watch these guys grow up and I’m excited about the future of throwing at Oregon,” coach Doug Engle said. Just missing out on a finals berth was Ian Hussung in the 800 meters. Twelve runners advanced and Hussung’s time of 2:01.75 was 13th best. “Because of concerns about the weather, the IHSA speeded up the meet and it didn’t allow Ian as much time to rest from the 3,200 relay as he should have,” Spratt said. “There was no reason for them to do that.” Hussung finished well back in the 1,600 run (4:46), again
with limited rest because of the so-called ‘rolling schedule’. Oregon’s 800 relay looked flat in clocking a 1:33.27, failing to improve on its sectional seed. Rockford Christian joined Oregon with five events moving on and Byron had three. In a huge surprise, PoloForreston and Winnebago went a combined 0-for-13 in the prelims. Losing Alex Bolhous, relay anchor and 6-8 high jumper, the day before the meet due to a fluke hamstring injury severely hampered the Indians. Polo-Forreston never was at full strength all year due to injuries and ailments.

Sunset Golf News By Bill Coffman Sunset Golf Club Saturday, May 21 at Sunset Golf Course was the setting for a wonderful day of golf. The brisk morning breezes gave way to an early afternoon of warm sunshine. A perfect setting for a golf scramble fund raiser to help raise money for six new
replacement golf carts in our fleet of rentals. For the first time in several years Sunset is upgrading its rental cart fleet. This spring we purchased six 2009 Yamaha Golf Carts. These carts have been totally refurbished to provide Sunset’s members and guests years of service. To help offset the cost
of these carts, the Sunset board suggested we set a date to for a playday. What a fine turnout we had with wonderful weather to match. We had a total of 52 golfers. With the entry fees, donations, the 50/50 raffle, and some very generous boosts from some guests and members that were unable to attend but donated anyway;
the playday has exceeded $5,000. This is a wonderful boost for our golf course. We will use the net proceeds from the day to pay down our golf cart loan. Special thanks to all attendees, Sunset Staff and Board Members. Also thanks to the Links at Queen Creek, Jeff’s Refs, and the
Sports Column Boys state track meet was a thrill a minute By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com As far as stand-alone IHSA state final contests, there is nothing more spectacular than the championship track and field meet. Conducted in front of crowds of 10,000 at O’Brien Field on the campus of Eastern Illinois University, it is a thrill a minute. What sets this event apart from all others that the IHSA hosts is that hundreds of schools are represented, not just the two playing for a state title in say football or basketball. In not just a one class affair either, with 1A, 2A and 3A all on display at once. When Orland Park Sandburg’s 3,200-meter relay
ran a national best time of 7:37, it didn’t matter where you were from. Everyone stood and cheered. Or when distance runner Jon Davis from tiny downstate Oakwood Fithian won his fifth and sixth state titles, fans from the Chicago area showed their appreciation to the kid that is better than anyone in Illinois, regardless of class size. As Darryl Sullivan of downstate Marion attempted a meet record of 7-foot-3, the crowd began to clap in unison, creating a scene rarely experienced at other IHSA sporting events. Only in track and cross country do rival schools cheer for each other with such passion and reverence. What happens at the state track meet transcends racial, religious and class barriers. Blacks cheer for whites and Christians help Muslims up after a fall and vice versa. It doesn’t matter what your economic background is either.
The rich cats from the northwest suburbs rub shoulders with the poor kids from East St. Louis. It’s all about urging each other on to the highest level of performance. Much is made of the bad reputation Illinois has on a national level because of politics, economics and various social ills. For those that want to see the good side of life in our state, come to the IHSA track meet. Parents, grandparents, big schools, small schools, people of all colors, race and creed are here, with everyone united for a common cause. And, the best reason of all to come is witnessing young people in our state compete at the highest level against each other in jumping, throwing, hurdling, running and vaulting. There is no other sport that offers that combination. IHSA officials make the statement that their meet is considered the best in the
country. I don’t dispute that. I’ve attended it off and on for 40 years, as a competitor, spectator, newspaper reporter, coach and meet official. If the IHSA track and field committee would ever allow me any input, it would be this – do not let fears about weather dictate how the meet is conducted. This past weekend, meet officials went to a speed-up mode and also moved many field events indoors to beat predicted storms. Other than a brief outburst on Friday afternoon, the weather was perfectly fine and weather concerns proved to be unfounded. By speeding up the meet, athletes are forced to compete without sufficient rest and risk the possibility of missing their heat. By moving the field events into the dank indoor facility, coaches are inconvenienced, trying to coach both inside and out. It’s not fair to fans either.
This wasn’t the first time the IHSA let fear of the weather rule them either. Lately, it’s happening more and more. Fortunately, all field events were staged outside on Saturday, but the meet was put on the “rolling schedule” to have it finish early. As was the case on Thursday and Friday, this wouldn’t have been necessary. The running joke going around was that lightning was reported in Kansas and the IHSA considered stopping the meet for the mandatory 30 minutes. The one positive to the rolling schedule was that time didn’t allow for the 810 place winners to be announced. The only people that really care about hearing those names called are family members anyway. Medalists did get to climb up on the podium and have their picture taken, though. That’s seemed to be

sufficient acknowledgement. No matter if the meet was on schedule or in speed-up mode, I’d strongly suggest scratching the announcing of individual names. Track and field meets take a long time, especially with the IHSA going from two classes to three. So anything that can be done to expedite the process is good for the sport.

Lady Cards fall to Rockridge 9-8 at supersectional By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com In a game that went back and forth, it was Rockridge denying Stillman Valley’s softball team a trip downstate. At the East Peoria 2A super-sectional, Daria Parchert hit a 3-run walkoff home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Rockets a 9-8 win over Stillman. It was the second straight year the Cardinals advanced to the supersectional. “What a great ball game, with the up and down,” SV coach Shawn Byers said. “It had to be awesome to watch for the fans, but not for me on the losing end of it.” In the top of the seventh inning, Courtney Fernette had a RBI double to give SV a 7-6 lead. It was her fourth RBI of the game and caused RR to bring in its third pitcher of the game – rarely used sophomore Grace Preston. “Every time we brought a different pitcher in, they made great adjustments,” Rockridge coach John Nelson said. “So, we felt the need to make another switch to Grace.” Macy Weaver drove in another run with a ground ball to short that resulted in an error. That made it 8-6, but Preston managed to get out of the inning without any more damage. “We’re an experienced strong-hitting team,” Byers said. “We’re not afraid of any pitcher. Sometimes, the better they are, the better we hit.” Unlike RR’s pitching staff,
Allison Carson pitches at the 2A supersectional.
Allison Carson went the distance for the Cardinals and hoped to shut down her opponent in the final inning, but got into trouble. The first batter reached on error and the second by a hit. With no outs, Parchert hit a 1-0 pitch over the left field fence and the game was over. “I had a feeling a lot of runs were going to be scored today, especially with how hot it was,” Byers said. After RR pitcher Tayah Hayes struck out six batters the first two innings, SV settled in and put four runs up on an Ali Green RBI single and 3-run homer by Fernette. All those runs came in the third inning with two outs. “Credit Stillman Valley with a great approach and smart hitting,” Nelson said. “Their 2-out hit-and-run play in the third inning is what jump-started their offense.” After trailing 4-1, a similar 2-out rally got Rockridge back in the game. Eventually the Rockets went ahead 6-4. “Rockridge is a lot like us,
the way they put pressure on an opponent,” Byers said. Both teams had 12 hits each. “We’ve been a team that shown composure and heart, coming from behind against Moline and United Township (both 4A) earlier in the year and winning,” Nelson said. Stillman Valley showed the same brand of resiliency by tying it 6-6 in the sixth inning. “My girls have shown an ability to bounce back all season,” Byers said. “Most of the games we’ve been ahead, but there were times we needed to come from behind.” Lexi Morrison had an RBI double and Weaver an RBI single in the sixth inning. Carson shut down the Rockets in the bottom of the sixth and the stage was set for the exciting final inning. The future looks bright for the 5-time BNC champion Cardinals (30-5), who only lose seniors Green and Morrison. SV advanced to the super-sectional with a 13-0 pasting of Morrison. “I really like the way Stillman plays and are coached,” Nelson said. “I know they are young like us and will be making a deep run in the playoffs next year. I hope we have the opportunity to meet this late in the season next year.” Freshman Amelia Thomas broke Rockridge’s single season hit record of 58 in this game, which was held by Parchert. Rockridge (33-5) will play Caterville in the semifinals of the state finals on Friday, also in East Peoria.
