In a rare quiet week for the South Winneshiek softball program, the Warriors dropped their only game by a score of 3-1 to Sumner-Fredericksburg.

The game, which was played in Calmar on Thursday, saw the Cougars jump out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. The opposition added another run in the third, before each team added a run in the fifth inning.

No Maynard Days this year

Maynard Days is cancelled for this year. 

The Maynard Community Club made the following announcement on facebook:

“After asking everyone in the Maynard Community Club and getting their votes on if we should have Maynard Days, they will be cancelled for this year. There also will not be a Alex Warnke Memorial Run this year. We are hoping to do some Family Nights in the spring. The Kayden Memorial Ride will still take place on Saturday, June 27.”

The Club is still looking for Miss Maynard candidates. They currently do not have any. If there is anyone interested they should contact Sylvia at 563-637-2255 before June 30.
