REINBECK — The Gladbrook-Reinbeck/North Tama/Grundy Center wrestling team picked up its second dual win of the season last Friday thanks almost exclusively to its depth, 40-30 over Jesup.
The Rebelhawks also dropped a dual to Denver-Tripoli 51-18 in a triangular rescheduled from Thursday due to dangerous travel conditions.
The Rebelhawks did not win a contested match in their dual victory over Jesup, but instead picked up eight victories by forfeit over a J-Hawk team that put just five wrestlers on the mat.

Lillian A. Eiten, 88, of Wellsburg died January 10, 2015, at Grundy County Long Term Care in Grundy Center. A funeral service was held at the  First Christian Reformed Church, rural Wellsburg, with Pastor Tom Vos officiating.  Burial followed in the First Christian Reformed Church Cemetery.  A visitation was held at the church one hour prior to the service on Wednesday.  Online condolences may be made at www.abelsfuneralhomes.com.

After a warmer than average December, winter hit Grundy County with a vengeance this week, with the season’s first major snow storm and the area’s sharpest cold snap since last February. Monday’s snowstorm dropped between four and six inches of powder on the area and was followed by bitterly cold temperatures. Monday night’s official low in Grundy Center was 14 degrees below zero, and predictions for later in the week called for even colder readings. Pictured is the digging-out process from Monday’s snow.
