Opening day for South Winneshiek baseball was held Monday, May 20, at Luther College in Decorah as the Class 1A No. 8-ranked Warriors took on Class 2A No. 10-ranked New Hampton.

The Warriors took an early lead in the bottom of the first after a leadoff walk by junior Noah Tieskoetter, followed by a stolen base, lead to a fielder’s choice RBI by Kody Kleve.

New Hampton tied the game in the third inning and then got what proved to be the big hit in the game, a three-run double to take a 4-1 lead in the fifth inning.

The fourth annual Logan’s Hope 5K will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 15, in Decorah. 

The annual event, put on by rural Waucoma’s Logan Manderfield and his family, aims to raise money for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research. 

Last year, the event raised over $20,000 for the cause and the Manderfields, including father Don and mother Lyndsey, are hoping to surpass that mark.
