Last night, Iowa-Grant hosted more than 300 athletes from nine SWAL and SWC schools for the Rod Fortney Memorial Scrimmage at Blackhawk Lake. It was a picture-perfect evening and a wonderful way to honor the legacy of love and dedication that Rod and Judy Fortney brought to Iowa-Grant Cross Country.

Located in the images attached to this post is an article, published in the Dodgeville Chronicle on March 8, 2001, beautifully captures Rod and Judy's partnership and provides a great glimpse into what made Rod such a special coach, teacher, and mentor. It also offers a wonderful look at the history of Iowa-Grant Cross Country. Although Rod and Judy are no longer with us, we are proud to carry on their legacy and continue building on the foundation they laid.

I thought it was worth sharing for anyone who was part of last night's scrimmage, and especially for those who may not have had the opportunity to know Rod and Judy.

Friday night, the Iowa-Grant Panthers welcome the Fennimore Golden Eagles to town for one of the biggest games of the season—the annual battle for the Milk Can!

There are plenty of reasons to make your way to Panther Stadium, including the opportunity to watch some of Wisconsin’s top returning players in action. Bound Wisconsin recently recognized three Panthers among the state’s top returning players:

🏈 Cole Schauff – #9 Returning Tackler in Wisconsin

These three are just a few of the talented players taking the field for the Panthers. Come out and support the entire Iowa-Grant Panther Football Team as they battle the Golden Eagles, compete for the Milk Can, and look to make a statement in their home opener!

🥛 Let’s bring the Milk Can back home!

Bound Wisconsin has the Panthers projected to finish 4th in the Six Rivers Conference, but this team is ready to compete every week.
