Adam Foster (Laci) Other survivors include his brother Charles Foster David was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers Fred Foster and Robert Foster and a deeply loved nephew Alan Foster who lived and worked summers on the Foster Farm while he was in high school.  During high school and college summers David worked for many area farmers David first farmed with his father-in-law and later started his own farming operation In the summer he enjoyed driving around in his pick-up with his dog Pokey checking his cattle and pastures and the Cross Creek Watershed District.  David would rather work on improving his farm than anything else which included using the caterpillar dozer to build terraces David taught his sons about raising cattle and growing crops He was really proud of their farm operation and enjoyed sharing his passion with those he loved.  David liked to snow ski and taught his sons David liked to travel and family vacations were spent camping in the northern and western United States His favorite vacations were two trips to Alaska.  David loved a simple life and being outdoors Friends and family are invited to the graveside service at 11:00 am on Tuesday Immediately following services everyone is invited to the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Building for a luncheon and sharing of memories of David.  Memorial contributions in David's memory may be made to either Jimmie Lillard Post No 31 of the American Legion or to Rossville FFA and may be sent in care of Piper Funeral Home ROSSVILLE - The jostling of wrists and hands shot rocketed towards the arms and shoulders of two young men training inside a bright red wrestling room and focusing on applying fundamentals rather than a hyper fixation on victories themselves 1 ranked 215-pounder in Indiana Noah Weaver who was manipulating the arms of brother Jacob who qualified after a third place finish 157 last Saturday in New Castle The philosophy of process-based training at Rossville is a result of coach Thomas Lynch listening to Purdue coach Matt Painter speak on his success as a coach through interviews and podcasts More: Rossville sends three wrestlers to IHSAA state championship with North White and Benton Central "I've always admired the way (Painter) runs his program," Lynch said "Building not just good athletes but good people to prepare for the next step in their life And that's what we're trying to build at Rossville as well." Painter expanded on how being process-based pertains to all sports "It's kind of like the karma of life more than anything," Painter said and more times than not it should come back to you Because when you're doing the right things and there's failure now that's how you learn and that's how you get better." Part of Rossville's success is rooted in learning to overcome failure Noah Weaver was a state qualifier in his sophomore year and lost his first match He's applied what Lynch has taught him through Painter while also taking a mathematical approach as well we're learning about how independent events work and how every day and every match is independent of the other," Weaver said the next practice you come in with a totally new mindset just knowing that day He remembered the agony felt losing on that first day but also what that loss did to motivate him and eventually become the first state champion wrestler from Rossville in 2024 "I realized what I was doing wasn't enough and my mindset I was focusing more on the results that I was given at the time," Weaver said I remembered thinking I failed because I was thinking purely about the results." Self-correction is part of the struggles Painter has seen athletes endure that's where you're going to be in a tailspin because you're going to find problems," Painter said "You're not being taught correctly or you're not taking in what you're being taught correctly which happens a lot and sometimes it's hard for certain guys to understand or to be able to instinctually do them at game speed." Weaver's work ethic and skills have rubbed off on his teammates including his younger brother and Jacob Cole the third state qualifier for the Hornets after finishing third at 165 Jacob Weaver is back at state after a combination of injuries and inconsistent performances forced him to miss the last IHSAA high school wrestling tournament in Indiana "I just kept pushing myself through the summer and that's where I made a lot of my big jumps," Jacob Weaver said thinking about what mistakes I can correct and how can I achieve my best performance." Reaching state for Jacob Cole is a plight that was achieved through darker means He remembered his final loss to Zach Huckaby from Perry Meridian at semi-state last season and how losing caused him to feel angry at first "I've had a picture of me losing at semi-state on my mirror," Cole said "So every morning I see that and that's been a big inspiration to kick it into gear for the offseason."

Johnson scored a first half rushing touchdown while Jackson caught two touchdown passes from Horak It was the memory of losing the three games in the first month of the regular season that was on the

The War on 24 provided drama and breakout stars as Rossville hosted Silver Lake The Eagles took care of the Bulldawgs 62-53 on the girls' side and Rossville's boys were able to clinch a 79-74 win Rossville led 18-17 after one quarter with hopes of breaking its long losing streak to Silver Lake but a big run from the defending Class 3A state champions earned them the win The Eagles put together a 25-5 run that started in the first quarter and ended at halftime Sophomore Savannah Wende scored 14 points first-half points Silver Lake’s offense penetrated Rossville’s zone defense and had kick-out after kick-out Each pass found the lefty ready in the shooting position and Wende made the Bulldawgs pay My teammates were getting really good looks for the whole game,” Wende said “I was really confident in their zone defense but I thought our whole team could do better and I was just confident in the team.” Even as her shooting went cold in the second half Head coach Kyle Porter explained that her passing ability and rebounding were key when the shots weren’t falling Kailyn Hanni took over the scoring responsibilities in the second half She exploited Rossville’s defense with her ball-handling skills while also making free throws in crunch time we had to move the ball quick and get it to the middle and kick it out for an open 3,” Hanni said find the open man and just drive to the basket.” The defense is what made Porter extremely proud Foul trouble became an issue for the Eagles but Jaylie Whitehead came in and played "phenomenal on the ball" according to her head coach but they never came consistently enough to grab a lead Silver Lake’s defending has everything to do with being able to shut down Rossville “I thought we did really well sagging and making them see bodies when they tried to drive and post up,” Porter said “That’s a credit to them and their intelligence and being able to learn as the game goes on.” The play that helped Rossville boys basketball defeat Silver LakeRossville boys head coach Brandon McDonnell walked out of the locker room with senior Brock Bush nearby He leaned over to his post player and said some powerful words ‘you might have just won us the game right there Bush fought through three Silver Lake players to grab an offensive rebound in transition and send a pass to teammate Cameron Miller who hit a corner 3-pointer just before the break It trimmed Rossville's deficit to just four points and provided momentum “I told him that that play sparked us,” McDonnell said “He got major rebounds and major assists that put us in great situations to finish that game.” Rossville went on a 24-3 run that gave it a 56-42 lead at the end of the third Silver Lake punched back in the fourth quarter but the run that Bush sparked was enough for Rossville to defend their home court “I think at one point we were up 20 and in my brain I was like It’s going to go back down,’” McDonnell smiled “It did because of the rivalry and the historic setting The two top scorers for Rossville and Silver Lake put on a show It was Dayne Johnson’s turn when Silver Lake had to find some points The multi-threat guards are some of the purest scorers in the area They can shoot 3-pointers and they can also make contested layups Rossville was able to limit the scoring damage from the rest of the Silver Lake roster with Brody Deiter scoring 13 points and Jared Johnson added 12 The Bulldawgs were led by their sharp shooter in Donovan Donovan hit back-to-back 3-pointers from deep range in Rossville’s big scoring run “I started calling for the ball and I saw one go in and it started falling,” Donovan said “We started hitting shots and playing better defense and getting stops.” His ability to hit deep 3-pointers isn’t new to McDonnell and the rest of the coaches it’s something they expect out of their leading scorer “He’s remarkable when it comes down to shooting,” McDonnell said we aren’t surprised by it because that’s what Jack does WELLSVILLE — There isn’t a secret sauce or a trick play that has helped No 3 Hayden (11-1) football advance far in the state tournament The difference each and every time they come away with a victory is simple Everybody is hungry to get back,” junior running back Kade Mitchell said Hayden trusted each other and came away with a 35-7 win over No 1 Wellsville (11-1) in the Class 3A Sub-State round The win catapults the Wildcats back to the place that they have been aiming for the Class 3A State Championship game next week “We don’t want to just go back,” Hayden head coach Bill Arnold said The Wildcats were stopped on fourth down on their first possession of the game the opportunistic Wildcats jumped on a fumble and were back in business Broderick Desch used a short rushing touchdown to help Hayden earn a 7-0 lead the Wildcats used a long drive that came after Wellsville was stopped on fourth down Mitchell capped off the drive with a rushing touchdown “They played with a lot of heart tonight,” Arnold said I thought the score right before half was a great Hayden scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to seal the win Jensen Schrickel added a touchdown while Mitchell and Desch scored again Hayden’s offense this season has been predicated on big plays Hayden was calculated on drives as they won the line of scrimmage throughout “It was a struggle at the beginning because they were able to takeaway a lot of our speed but we were able to find plays that worked,” Schrickel said we were able to come out with more energy than they did and we were able to put it away,” Wellsville’s lone touchdown was a 68-yard rushing touchdown by Armond Graves with four minutes left in the game The Eagles were averaging 42 points per game coming into sub-state but the Wildcats defense was up for the challenge Defensive end Andrew Rohr explained that the defense were working on different drills in practice leading into this game They worked on things that they normally wouldn’t during the regular season He said that extra preparation helped them succeed against Wellsville “We go down at the tackle and work on shooting under the guard They are a pulling team just like us and it showed on the field,” Rohr said We are hoping for a different outcome and we are going to work hard this week and hope for a ring.” This is the second straight season that the Wildcats have reached the state title game the Wildcats lost to Cheney in one of the toughest weather games in history Inches upon inches of snow was the main storyline as passing the ball and footing was a challenge 1 Andale (12-0) for the Class 3A State Championship Saturday at Hutchinson Community College The Wildcats and Indians have faced three times in their history The last two games have gone Hayden’s way in 2008 and 2009 Andale punched their ticket to the state title game by defeating Holcomb (9-3) 56-14 in sub-state “We are definitely going to bring it back this time.” 3 Centralia (10-1) in the Class 1A Sub-state game on Friday The Panthers were able to get past the Bulldawgs 22-9 and advance to next week's Class 1A State Championship game The Bulldawgs had a first half field goal and a 61-yard touchdown pass from Tayson Horak to Jack Donovan in the fourth quarter as the only points in the game for Rossville The Bulldawgs turned the ball over too many times in the loss Centralia will take on defending state champion No 1 Conway Springs (12-0) in the Class 1A State Championship on Saturday The two teams will meet at Hutchinson Community College TOPEKA — Through the first month of high school basketball programs are looking for consistency and continuity This is pivotal when teams look to the postseason in a few months the opening weeks are crucial for building team chemistry and trust Rossville girls basketball doesn’t need a lot of time to build continuity They have been playing a lot of basketball together for a long time Rylee Dick and Nora Burdiek are the Bulldawgs' leading scorers They have been side-by-side since elementary school “I think it’s really cool to have this opportunity to play with Nora,” Dick said “It’s been really cool and a fun time together.” Hayden girls basketball: How freshman Hailey Schmidtlein earned her starting spot The duo provide a one-two punch for the Bulldawgs on offense Dick is a great ball-handler with a 3-point shooting stroke that would make anyone jealous Her movement off of the ball is a difference-maker Rossville does a great job of setting off-ball screens to open up their junior guard so to kick it out and then give her a good high-five when she makes it.” She doesn’t pass the ball off when grabbing boards Burdiek’s ball-handling ability has only improved while her touch around the rim has been flawless Dick has been seeing her friend’s success for years “My earliest memory was here for a tournament in fourth grade,” Dick said as she ooked across the Rossville High School gymnasium “Nora made a 3-pointer and she kept letting them fly I don’t remember being a good shooter,” Burdiek laughed 'This is where I am supposed to be': Washburn Rural's Maddie Vickery makes college decision The two friends have Rossville off to a 3-2 start The Bulldawgs have dropped back-to-back games to Silver Lake and Holton but they are hopeful these losses can only fuel the team following winter break “They don’t get jealous of another one’s success,” said Derick Dick those two get enough defensive attention that will get shots up for other girls.” Shyanne Haehn and Sydney Sumner are Rossville's only seniors and have played a big role in the early this season Although she’s been scoring in double-figures of each game Dick made it clear that it’s all because of the team “A lot of our success
