Williamsburg teacher featured in Kirkwood newsletter

Williamsburg teacher Joe Degen was featured in the winter newsletter of Kirkwood Community College’s Iowa County center this month. Degen is social studies teacher for grades 7-12 at Williamsburg Jr./Sr. High School. “At first I wanted it to cover some of my general education requirements,” said Degen in the newsletter, explaining why he took classes through Kirkwood. “Then when I found out where I wanted to go I tried to take them to cover as much non-major stuff that I could.” Degen said in the newsletter that taking Kirkwood classes while he was in high school helped him find more time to take the classes he wanted to take when he got to college. “It also helped me get more general education classes completed so I had more time to focus on my majors (history and education).” Kirkwood’s Michael Jacobsen was a big help to Degen during his time at Kirkwood Iowa County Center, he says in the newsletter. “…[D]ue to his experience as a former social studies teacher, I was able to talk about my career path and a potential four-year plan before I even knew what college I was going to pick,” Degen said. “When I got to

NORTH LINN 41, ST. ANSGAR 0 — After going three-and-out on the game's opening possession, North Linn reeled off touchdowns the next six times it had the ball to start a running clock before halftime in a Class A quarterfinal football rematch from a year ago. North Linn (10-1) avenged a loss in last year's quarterfinals and ended the Saints' perfect season after a state runner-up finish a year ago. The Lynx will face unbeaten West Sioux at 1 p.m. Thursday in the semifinals in Cedar Falls. On the second play of North Linn's second possession, Landon Mertens ripped off a 67-yard run for the first score, with 7 minutes, 14 seconds left in the first quarter. The Lynx made it 14-0 when quarterback Jackson Nielsen and Will Sommerfelt connected on a 22-yard TD pass with 1:51 left in the quarter, then Nielsen scored on second-quarter runs of 9, 18, 1 and 3 yards to increase the lead to 41-0 at halftime. Two interceptions and a fumble return gave the Lynx short fields for three of those scores. In addition to forcing the three turnovers, North Linn's defense limited St. Ansgar to 51 total yards — 308 below its season
