Proceeds from “Awesome Rides” calendar nearly double in second year to benefit Eastern Allamakee Schools ...

For the second consecutive year, 1973 Kee High School graduate Ray Burroughs of Waukon created and sold an “Awesome Rides” classic car calendar to benefit all extracurricular activities in the Eastern Allamakee Community School District (EACSD). Pictured above, Burroughs (right) presents a $7,100 donation check to Eastern Allamakee Community School District PK-12 Principal Donna Thomas (left) during halftime of the Kee girls varsity basketball game of the Friday, February 7 boys and girls basketball doubleheader with MFL/MarMac. That donation amount is nearly double the $3,700

Burroughs was able to donate last year, and he said this year’s amount would not have been possible without the 36 sponsors who helped defray the costs of printing and creating the calendars. “The sponsors are what made this year’s larger donation possible, so please go see them for anything you might need, and tell them Ray the Calendar Guy sent you.”

Waukon boys wrestling team claims fifth-place District team finish; Kaden Mitchell, Holten Palmer qualify for Class 2A State Tournament

The continuation of the 2024-2025 season was on the line for the Waukon boys wrestling team when the Tribe competed in its Class 2A District 9 Tournament at New Hampton Saturday, February 15. Needing an individual championship or runner-up finish in their respective weight classes in order to earn continuation of the season with qualification for the Class 2A State Tournament, the Indians had a pair of matmen wrestle their way to that accomplishment and make their way into this week’s State Tournament that begins this Wednesday, February 19.

Those two State qualifiers included freshman Kaden Mitchell winning the district title at 120 pounds and senior Holten Palmer wrestling his way to a runner-up finish at 157 pounds. That qualifying pair was part of nine out of 13 Indians competing in the tournament who grappled to top-four placewinnings to help the mat Tribe compile 117 team points and finish fifth in the eight-team final standings.
