GRUNDY CENTER — A single bad inning kept the Grundy Center High School baseball team from playing in its first district final in several years.

The Spartans (7-17) reached the semifinal with a nail-biting 4-3 victory over Gladbrook-Reinbeck Tuesday.

Trailblazing: Rickert helps lead Pioneer Trail revival project

Published by admin on Thu, 09/12/2019 - 12:20pm

Former attorney and Reinbeck resident Mike Rickert has dedicated decades of his life to the Pioneer Trail in Grundy County. Back in 1985, Rickert was instrumental in leading the group that first got the trail started, and to this day, Rickert still walks the trail almost every morning. Now, 34 years after the trail was first started, Rickert is involved in an effort to finally get the trail completed, connecting the towns of Reinbeck, Morrison, Grundy Center and Holland.
