High school mosaic immortalizes Warrior mascot

SIOUX CENTER—Sioux Center High School students were integral in creating a beautiful mosaic tile mural of the Sioux Center Warriors mascot, thanks to grant funding. If you walk through the atrium to the entrance of the gym at Sioux Center High School, you’ll likely notice a large piece of artwork composed of intricately arranged tiles that form the shape of the Sioux Center Warriors mascot, Scor. At second glance, you’ll see that a significant portion of Scor’s armor is a stunningly bright shade of orange. If an upperclassman walked by, they might tell you that they came up with the concept for the mural and helped create it. If an industrial tech student walks by, they’ll point out the custom-made stand they built to hold it. And if Andrew Hobson, the high school’s art teacher, walked by, he’d tell you even more.

SIOUX CENTER, Ia. — The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Cowboys football team returns to the grid iron on Friday Night, as they make the long trip to Northwest Iowa to take on the West Lyon Wildcats in the quarterfinal round of the Class 1A Playoffs at the Open Space Athletic Complex in Sioux Center. CGD enters at 9-1 and ranked #6, while West Lyon enters at 9-1 and ranked #2.

The defending 1A State Champions are led by senior quarterback Easton DeJong, who’s thrown for 1,124 yards and 16 touchdowns, while rushing for another 689 yards and 8 touchdowns.

The rushing attack has two dependable backs, as sophomore Chasyn Westra has 739 yards and 7 touchdowns, as River Kramer has also spent time in the backfield, rushing for 646 yards and 10 touchdowns. The offensive line is a hallmark of West Lyon football, and the Wildcats have another strong unit, anchored by seniors Jerrence Knoblock and Micah Van Beek.
