The Keota Golf team went to Si-gourney on April 4. The Boys Varsi-ty Team shot a 209. For individual stats, Jack Eakins shot a 51, Zach Mousel shot a 52, Cole Stout shot a 53, Avery Conrad shot a 53, Riley Conrad shot a 54, Anthony Camp-bell shot a 59, Kolton Strand shot a 64, and Johnny Flanegan shot a 66. We look forward to watching the boys golf team play in future meets.

This week’s Junk or Jewel is Cole Brenneman’s 2014 GMC 2500 HD Duramax. Cole’s truck has 79,500 miles on it and has a 6.6 Allison engine. Cole’s truck is silver on the outside and has a black leather interior. Cole’s truck can get 16 MPG. The presets in Brenneman’s truck are XM2, XM36, XM37, XM56, XM57, and XM80. Cole got his truck three weeks ago and likes to drive all over the place with it. If Cole could give his truck a name it would be “Dirtymax” and his favorite thing about his truck is the aftermarket radio. Now it’s time for you to decide - is this car junk or jewel?

The KHS Boys Track Team consists of (left to right, back to front): Logan Sieren, Turner Klein, Ben Shemanski, Trey Carlson, Nate Sieren, Zach Mou-sel, Alex Heisdorffer, Branden Hyman, June Welt.

On March 5th, 1998, Zachery Michael Mousel was brought into this world. Zach’s favorite childhood memory was riding four wheelers and camping with his cousins. His parents are Kelly Mousel and Charles Mousel and his siblings are Brittany Hammes and Riley Mousel. Zach’s favorite fam-ily vacation was going to Disney World with all his fam-ily and cousins. Something Zach rally admires about his family is that they demon-strate strength and perse-

verance. When Zach was young he al-ways dreamed about becom-ing an athlete in the NBA, NFL, and MLB. An accom-plishment that Zach is proud of is going to State basket-ball and playing. Zach has been involved in many extra-curricular activities, such as speech, football, drama, bas-ketball, track, golf, baseball, Student Council, and DARE. His favorite extra-curricular activity is basketball, be-cause he loves the sport and the memories he has made because of it. Zach’s plan for after high school is to attend the University of Iowa to ma-jor in Engineering. He enjoys solving problems and build-ing things. In ten years, Zach sees himself working some-where around Keota with a nice house and a family. Zach possesses many qualities that will help him reach his goals. He says he is a very hard worker, very competi-tive, and he likes to push him-self to become a better per-son. Zach’s main three things

that he would like to accom-plish in life are to be happy, inspirational, and a good fa-ther and husband. Zach’s favorite high school memory is “Teepeeing af-ter Anything Goes with his friends.” Zach’s favorite mo-ment throughout his high school career was getting selected as a member of National Honor Society and seeing that all of his home-work didn’t go unnoticed. After Zach graduates, he will miss sports and his friends the most. The class he will miss the most is Recent American History, because it was interesting and fun to go to. The class that has prepared him most for life was Government, because “it taught valuable skills that I will need in college and it in-formed me about current is-sues going on and how they should be approached.” Zach’s worst pet peeves are when people break prom-ises or are hypocritical. He currently works at his uncle’s sawmill, where he stacks boards and sweeps. Zach’s

favorite hobbies are playing sports and hanging with his friends, because they are fun and entertaining. Zach describes himself as a good student and athlete. He hopes to be remembered as a hardworking student and a nice person. When Zach’s friends at KHS were asked what they will miss the most about him after he graduates, sophomore Jacob Moeller said, “I will miss film-ing Zach in basketball.” Fellow senior, Megan Hill, said, “I will miss having classes with him and joking with each other.” Zach’s advice for future KHS seniors is “high school is your last chance to take advantage of your limited re-sponsibilities, so enjoy it be-fore it’s gone.” We wish Zach the best of luck in his future.

This week’s Athlete of the Week is sophomore Riley Conrad. Riley has been busy golfing and is looking forward to golfing as much as he can when he can this season. Riley is the one of the best golfers on the team and is trying to improve on his chipping, because he says that it’s crucial to doing well on each hole. His goal is to win at least one meet this year. When asked if he has a say-ing or motto he replied, “Don’t get mad.” Riley says that the more frustrated that you get, the worse you do. Riley likes the relaxed atmosphere of golf the most. He says that the calm-ing nature of the game is what draws him to it. Riley can be found on any given day of the week getting in a good round of golf out on the Keota golf course. We look forward to following Riley this golf season and wish him the best of luck.
