Williamsburg High School junior starts videography business

WILLIAMSBURG — Wes Stoner is ahead of the curve. The Williamsburg High School junior started making videos while still in elementary school and started his own videography limited liability company as a high school student in 2025. As a local business owner, he’s a member of the Williamsburg Area Chamber of Commerce. Stoner, who lives near Parnell, said he started taking videos in sixth grade, recording games for a new wiffle ball league. The summer of his seventh-grade year, Stoner began recording Williamsburg High School football games. The Raiders went to state that year. Stoner also shot video for Williamsburg wrestling, basketball and some baseball games, he said. He posted them on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. “I was just doing it because I wanted to,” said Stoner. Williamsburg football coach, Curt Ritchie, who is now head football coach for Cornell College, gave Stoner access to the field so he could record the games. Today, Stoner Productions has its own website, stonerprodz.com/ and Stoner sells his services to local businesses. He also works for Crush I.T., helping clients with marketing. Stoner shoots with a mirrorless Sony A 73 and edits with Premiere Pro. He’s self taught. He’s watched a lot of

Regina dominates Treynor in Iowa high school football state semifinals

CEDAR FALLS — Iowa City Regina may have been a little sloppy early, but the Regals were still far too much to handle for No. 4 Treynor in the Class 1A state semifinals of the Iowa high school football playoffs. The Regals are headed back to the 1A state championship game after a convincing 35-0 victory over the Cardinals on Friday, Nov. 13, at the UNI-Dome. Despite three penalties for 35 yards and a fumble in the opening quarter, Regina was never threatened, improving to 12-0, as they head into the state championship game for the 11th time in program history. "Our guys stayed level-headed and they stayed the course," said Regina coach Dustin Elsbury. "Some things are out of your control, and that's how life is too. Our theme is 'Events plus response equals outcome.' We can control our response, which has a great influence on the outcome." Regina put up 302 of its 371 yards in the first half, jumping out to a 28-0 lead. The Regals scored nearly as many points as they had plays in the opening two quarters, recording all of that production on just 29 plays. Regal quarterback Aiden Gaffey completed 11 of 12
