Jim Field visits with Iowa 4-H Foundation Executive Director Emily Saveraid about the importance of the organization and the Iowa 4-H Giving Day.

The Shenandoah Mustangs and head coach Ty Ratliff were feeling good about how the season was going well as the Mustangs had won back-to-back games by a total score 98-14. But after last Friday night's loss to Underwood 49-0 it knocked the Mustangs down to reality. Coach Ratliff said this is one that got away early and quickly from his Mustangs squad, but one his team can learn and grow from.

The Mustangs had lots of missed tackles a week ago that helped Underwood have some big explosive plays and Coach Ratliff knows the defense has to make routine plays tonight for his team to get back into the win column.

Coach Ratliff knows in a even matchup like his Mustangs have tonight on the road at Red Oak, which ever defense makes a couple splash plays will put themselves in the best position to win.

The Griswold Tigers football team and coach Seth Lembke have not had the season that they had planned for. The Tigers have dealt with the injury bug this season and with their tough schedule the Tigers fell to 0-5 after last Friday nights home loss to Stanton/Essex 70-46. The Tigers had a good game plan to start the game and trailed by just 2 points going into halftime. After the break the Vikings made some adjustments to open the scoring up and the rout was on coach Lembke said his team didn't match the Viking intensity.

The East Mills Wolverines football team hasn't had the season that they had hoped for. The Wolverines have battled injuries and facing a tough schedule has them currently in a four-game losing streak after falling last Friday night at home to Fremont-Mills 55-22.

A bright spot for this Wolverines team has been junior Jackson Embree Jr. who is the team's leading receiver and leading tackler. Coach Schafer has been impressed with the versatility by the junior so far.
