Under questioning by police, Delbert appears to have waived his rights and signed a confession, but, it seems he might not have been competent, and was coerced into doing so. The subsequent police investigation and medical examiner's autopsy suggested Bill may not have died from natural causes, and Delbert was arrested on charges of second-degree murder. Delbert's of a family of 4 brothers (the other 3 being Roscoe, Lyman and William - Bill, for short), working as semi-literate farmers, and living together in isolation in a ramshackle shack, until William's death.

I’m proud of them,” Windthorst coach Chris Tackett said. “That’s the kind of character they had last year and what they brought to the table this year. A teary-eyed Vieth said he “couldn’t ask for anything more, and I loved every single minute of it.” They returned motivated to repeat that success, and despite breaking in several key new faces, Windthorst won 12 of 14 contests and lost only to a pair of top-5 bluebloods.

Both teams had already earned each other’s respect, but Albany’s postgame interactions with Vieth signaled a deeper kind of admiration.
