Archery target maker Rinehart is holding one of its 18 annual target shoots in Calhoun this weekend.

A great showing by the Union County Wrestling Club at the USA Wrestling Folkstyle Nationals over the weekend.

Competing in Cedar Falls, IA,  Saul Ervin, Jayce Carr and Trae Blackwell all earned All-Amercian honors, with Blackwell becoming the 2nd National Champion in Union County history (the first being Caleb Ervin in 2009).

Blackwell won a bracket of 48 individual competitors and beat the number 7 ranked kid in the country on his way to a National Championship.
