Tiger golf sweeps WC

By Jerry Wadian

The Valley boys’ and girls’ golf teams combined for a sweep of West Central in the first meet of the season for both teams.

On Monday, April 8, at Big Rock Country Club in Fayette, the girls’ won, 186-276 and the boys’ triumphed, 177-191. 

With rain and cold weather cancelling early meets and almost all outdoor practice sessions, golfers from both teams were glad just to be on a course again.

The Tiger girls, the sixth-place school in the Class 1A State Meet last year, began 2013 where it left off last season. Jodi Schott earned medalist honors by firing a 43, including two holes at par. 

Lexi Moser beat teammate Chandler Luzum for medalist runner-up honors on a cardback after each came in at 46. Bailey Moser completed the varsity scoring by shooting a 51.

DeVilbiss named All-Iowa Conference wrestler

 

Jayden DeVilbiss, a 2011 graduate of South Winneshiek High School, was named to the inaugural All-Iowa Conference Wrestling Team. 

The 30-member squad is comprised of the top three Iowa Conference place-winners in each weight category at the NCAA Division III Central Region Championships. Luther placed seven wrestlers on the all-league squad.

DeVilbiss, who was a national qualifier for the first time this season, fell one match shy of earning All-America honors. He finished his season with a 29-14 record. He was named the Outstanding Wrestler of the Central Region Championships after capturing the conference championship at 174 pounds. 

DeVilbiss was one of six Luther wrestlers who qualified for the NCAA Division III National Championships.
