Stopped off in West branch Iowa to visit the birthplace and presidential library of our 31st president Herbert Hoover. Much more impressive than I thought it would be. If you have the time I would definitely recommend stopping by and taking a couple of hours to revisit history.

Go Bears!

Heading into Friday’s game against Bellevue, the path to the playoffs is pretty clear: Win, and the Bears are in; Lose, and they’ll need some help. Let’s pack the Little Rose Bowl Friday for senior night! All scenarios: - West Branch win + Alburnett win: #2 seed - West Branch win + Anamosa win: #3 seed - West Branch loss + Tipton win: #4 seed - West Branch loss + Monticello win: Out
