With a score of 32-0 at half it looked like the Timberwolves had the game in the bag but apparently the Eagle hadn't quite landed yet.
The Johnson-Brock Eagles pulled a few fast moves and in two minutes as the third quarter ticked down they put up 16 unanswered points.  They added twelve more points in the fourth quarter but the Timberwolves came back with 16 points on their own for a final score of 46-28 and win #29 in a row for the Timberwolves.  The Exeter-Milligan senior boys now have an unbelievable record of 41-1 for their football career.

Career Industry Day for Fillmore County High School Juniors

The Fillmore County Development Corporation (FCDC) in cooperation with the Fillmore County schools and local businesses held a Career Industry Day for the juniors in the county on September 9th.  The format for the day involved having the students go to the business locations, rather than the business people coming to the school.

Three tracks were developed so students had a choice and could decide what area interested them the most.  The tracks were Agriculture and Ag Business, Health and Human Services, and Skilled and Technical Sciences.

The goal of the day was to expose students to some of the career opportunities in Fillmore County.   The FCDC wanted to expose students to all aspects of a business that they would not see from the outside. The tours allowed the Fillmore County juniors to hear comments about employment opportunities and training requirements from people in the business. Twenty-four businesses hosted the tours with 40+ presenters.

Tyler Williams, a committee member who accompanied students on the Agriculture and Ag Businesses tour said, “I was impressed how many good things are going on in ag businesses in Fillmore County.  There are jobs available and opportunities for careers in agriculture.”

“It was great to have the cooperation from the businesses and the three county schools to set up the Career Industry Day,” according to Patt Lentfer, FCDC Director.  A committee of eight people put a lot of work into making the day successful by contacting businesses, setting up the tours, and arranging lunch.
