Wayne County drops to eight player

CORYDON —  

The Wayne County Falcons were 0-9 last season playing 11 player football in Class 1-A. However, they graduated just four seniors and make the drop to eight-player football this season. A move head coach Bart Elliott said the team is excited about.
"We are excited about transitioning into eight man football," Elliott said. "We have a hard working and talented group of kids who are fun to work with."
The Falcons bring back experience on the offensive and defensive lines, as well as their running backs and linebackers. However, they will be replacing their quarterback as well as all their wide receivers and three defensive backs this season.
Tanner Robinson, Lucas Hysell, Colton Kiefer, C.D. Kunzie, Dillon Lain, Tate Van Dyne, Clayton Kiefer and Evan Sinclair are Wayne County's returning starters this season.
Keaton Carpenter, Trent Carpenter, Ridge Downard and Kenton Lain outline the other notable players on the team this season.
The schedule for Wayne County appeared in the Thursday, Aug. 16 edition of the Daily Iowegian.

Poll

The Iowegian wants readers to think about the debate Rep. Larry Sheets talks about at the state capital centered on "accepting Medicaid expansion as defined by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), or choosing to create an Iowa specific health care program. Those who prefer the Medicaid expansion believe the federal government will fulfill its commitments three years from now. Those opposing explain that the federal government is only capable of that by borrowing the money from the Chinese." So, the question this week is, "Should Iowa accept the federal government's Medicaid expansion or create a health care program specific to the state?"

A. Accept Medicaid expansion.
B. Create health care program.
