CEDAR FALLS – As the final seconds ticked away on Dike-New Hartford football's season, the Wolverines could hold their heads high, even in defeat.
 
There were certainly tears and stoic faces on Dike-New Hartford's sideline after the Wolverines' quest for a Class 1A title came up short in a 52-38 loss to West Sioux in the championship game.
 
But D-NH went toe-to-toe with last year's champion in Class A on Friday, and records fell as the two teams battled in a high-scoring slugfest.

So he did something bold: the 20-year-old walked into the Navy recruitment office in Waterloo, quit school at UNI and signed his enlistment papers on Veterans Day.
           
“He came back one day, and he said to me, ‘Mom, college is your dream and not mine, and I joined the Navy today,’” his mother said, mimicking her gasp when he delivered the news.
