After competing against their district opponents in the first round, the Cats were anxious to restart. Blum, Covington, Italy, Milford, Frost, Ab- bott, and Avalon have now seen the vicious Wampus Cats as they currently have a 5-2 record. Fortunately, the Cats first opponent, Blum, proved to the Cats that a blazing fire had settled into their hearts. After scoring in the first inning, the score could only skyrocket with a total of 18 hits from the Wampus Cats. Drew Youngblood, Ryan Markwardt, and Dan Reese led the team with 3 hits each. Another contribution to the win was the Wampus Cats running wild on the base paths with 15 stolen bases. The game ended with a score of 11-0 as pitchers Andrew Arellano and Adam Youngblood collected 14 strikeouts for the Cats. The fire continued as the Cats traveled to Covington and destroyed the Owls with an 18-0 shutout game. Drew Youngblood led the team with 4 hits in 4 at bats. Jeff Knight was able to send one flying as he hit a solo homerun. The Wampus Cats then traveled to Italy with zero points against them. After collecting 14 hits as a team and 11 stolen bases, the Wampus Cats stole the win yet again. Pitchers Ryan Markwardt and Daniel Montes also helped the Cats with 13 total strikeouts. School rivalries continue to excite the fans and the athletes as trash talk was a ma- jor issue against the Wampus Cats next victim, Milford. As the game began, talent on both sides showed and, fortunately for the Cats, the holes in the Milford defense were as wide as possible helping the Cats take the early lead in the first inning. A double by Adam Youngblood brought in 2 runs to start the vicious attack of the Cats. Adam Youngblood, Andrew Arellano, and Jeff Knight led the team with three hits each. Youngblood, and Dan Reese brought in three runs each for the Cats. With yet another solid defense the Wampus Cats only allowed two hits and did not commit a single error in the field. With zero points scored against Itasca, spirits remained high as they took their home turf for the first time in the season against Frost. After a scoreless first inning by both squads, Chase Rutherford and Daniel Montes were able to reach the bases allowing Rico Salazar to hit the first run in. Unfortunately for the Cats, Frost was able to score with base hits in the outfield and brought the score to 2-1 in the top of the third inning. With an error from Frost's third basemen, Jeff Knight was able to score tying the game at 2 to end the third inning. Unsatisfied, the Wampus Cats pitching change allowed no other runs. With a pick off from Ryan Markwardt to first basemen Adam Youngblood, the Cats’ mood instantly changed. Markwardt struck out the next batter and a groundout to second basemen Rico Salazar brought the Cats back to Itasca. Unfortunately, both teams remained scoreless until the bottom of the fifth inning when the Wampus Cats stole the lead and the win completely with a score of 5-2. The Wampus Cats ended the game with a total of 13 hits and once again no errors on the field. With anxiousness against the two teams battling for first place in the district, the Itasca win streak fell as they competed against the Abbott Panthers. Errors contributed to the loss and the Wampus Cats continued to fight but were unable to fix the wrongs and lost with a score of 8-3. Avalon was the closest game of the season so far as the Wampus Cats and Eagles battled for nine innings. Unfortunately, with the bats unable to work for the Cats, ground outs and fly balls resulted in the tight score of 8-6 with Avalon recording the win. The tight game resulted in the Itasca Wampus Cats finding themselves in third place with a record of 5-2. Fortunately for the Cats, playoffs are still in their heads as they have beaten their 2A district opponents Frost and Italy. Wish the Cats luck as the second round has just begun and the Cats fight at home for most of the season.

Page 8 April 7, 2017 Paw Print Press Do You Remember…? The Iceman Columnist Carl Sweeney, reprinted from issue #24, 2006 There was no electricity in the country for refrigeration or lights and most folks in town did not have refrigerators either. For cooling food we had old wooden ice boxes and ice was delivered to us by the “Ice Man,” that is, if we did not live too far off the road for delivery. In fact, part of the instructions to our house included, “turn off the main road.” We bought ice that we used in town and wrapped it in an old quilt to keep it from melting before we got home. Itasca had an ice manufacturing plant in these days. It was located across the tracks where the old Itasca Grain Storage was. Ice was frozen in 300 pound blocks and further scored so the ice delivery man could cut it into whatever size block the customer wanted. He did this with an ice pick. There were usually two delivery men and sometimes three; one for the village and one on each side of town out in the country. They started out using carts and buggies and then changed to closed in trucks in later years. The ice house fur- nished an octagon shaped card that could be read from the street. This enabled the delivery man to read it and not have to make a trip to the house to find out how much the customer wanted. The card had numbers on 4 sides: 25, 50, 75 and 100 for the number of pounds we wanted. The desired number was at the top. The delivery man used tongs to carry the ice to the house. He had a leather piece across the back of his shoulders to protect him from the ice. We almost always left the money for the ice on top of the box if we were not home, he delivered it anyway since our houses were never locked, and in fact I don’t remember our house having locks except maybe a screen door hook. As a further service when he delivered to restaurants, theaters or businesses that had coolers, e chipped the ice and put it in whatever they had. One of our favorite uses for ice was when we made ice cream in the old wooden freezer with the hand crank. We put the cream mixture in the metal inner basket, chipped ice sprinkled with rock salt around it, and placed a piece of old quilt on top and someone sat on it and turned the crank until it was frozen. I don’t remember having ice cream in the stores in the late 20s or early 30s. As the delivery man proceeded down the street on his rounds, there was always a bunch of kids following him. They would pick up the pieces to suck on when he clipped a block of ice. We admired the deft way he cut the right size with his ice pick. The ones we knew were very patient with the kids following him, and at times pretended to mess up a block so there would be enough chips to go around for the kids. The cold ice sure tasted good to suck on during those hot summer days. I think most of us have fond memories of those benevolent old guys who were so accommodating with their cus- tomers and with us kids. I heard one of them, I think it was Joe Gibson say, “They thought they were pulling one on us when they crawled into the wagon to get pieces when we were in the house, and running when I came out. Little did they know I was standing behind the door wait- ing until each one had a handful.” In earlier years the deliverymen were Tom Tidwell, Joe Gibson, Delford Williamson, and later Ed Stout and Marvin Highfield. There were others I cannot remember. One thing I do remember that has stayed with me all of these years was the salaries. They got $60 a month, and that was for all day, not just 8 hours. Field work in the 30s was also low, from a $1.25 in the early 30s to a $1.50 in the late 30s. Makes me wonder if indeed those were “the good old days.”
