[Herky] Veterans continue to carve up Big Ten

[Kay Ramseyer]

This is very interesting to me because I graduated from Sioux City East. The only time I ever heard the name "Woodbury" was in relation to the county where I lived. I never heard of a family with that name. Moville's high school was not named Woodbury. I guess this dates me but I am proud that more athletes from the area are attending the best university in the state.
