The Hiawatha Red Hawks traveled to Sabetha Friday night. They opened up play in the Class 3A Baseball Regional against the Nemaha Central Thunder. The Hiawatha Red Hawks lost by a score of 12-2. Other teams in attendance were Riverside, Royal Valley, Maur Hill-Mount Academy, Marysville, Sabetha and Atchison County. The Red Hawks carried a lead through the early innings. Junior Rhen Hageman kept it close through four innings with solid pitching. Hageman’s ability to mix up his throwing speeds with a solid curve ball, was very effective. The Red Hawks made a few errors in the field. The Nemaha Central Thunder were able to incorporate some timely hitting, which resulted in an unsuccessful combination for the Red Hawks. The Nemaha Central Thunder got the best of the Red Hawks over the seven innings.

The Brown County Genealogical Society was chartered in June 1997 by first president and founder Lyle Hinz. In 1999 we moved into our present building at 116 S 7th Street, Hiawatha with just a small amount of genealogy resources. Over the years we have grown our collection and we now house information from several surrounding communities, family histories that have been donated, funeral pamphlets, death notices from area papers and much more.
