The Pirates picked up some much-needed momentum, namely by beating bitter rival Marshall for the first time since 2007 and accumulating double-digit wins overall. Most of those wins came from a very impressive non-conference start to last season. The wheels fell off a bit in conference play, namely after the Marshall win, as Waterloo would lose three of its final four Capitol — South games before Marshall got a revenge win in...

Respecting the colors
About 55 Marshall Elementary School fifth grade students learned about the importance of respecting the U.S. Flag on Friday. Pete Ponti, a Vietnam veteran who served in the U.S. Army from 1967-68, Scott Relitz, a Desert Storm veteran who served in the U.S. Air Force from 1990-91 and continues to serve in the 115th Fighter Wing/Wisconsin Air National Guard and Sharon Burbach, Jefferson County Vice President of the Waterloo American Legion Auxiliary Unit 233, watched a video stressing the importance of the American Flag and what it means to emergency services including firefighters, an Olympic gold medal winner and active members of service. Ponti and Relitz are also members of the Marshall American Legion Post 279. While the two folded a U.S. Flag, Burbach explained to the students what each fold meant. The trio also fielded questions about the flag and why it is so important to the United States.
