Beardens bring the farm

By SUSAN LYNN susan@iolaregister.com

Debbie and Duwayne Bearden believe everyone has a touch of farmer in them. And they’d like to help bring it out.

The Beardens are this year’s marshals for FarmCity Days, representing the ag side of the equation.

Today they raise cattle and poultry on their 80acre farm one mile east of Allen County Airport, as well as 100 acres they lease from Barbara Diehl east of LaHarpe. They also are the “face” of Allen County’s Farmers Market, reborn after a lapse of several years.

The Beardens are strong advocates of the farm-totable movement, where consumers take an interest

Sweethearts in parade

By KAYLA BANZET kayla@iolaregister.com

Some people get cards or a cake for their birthday, but Beverly Johnson gets to ride in the FarmCity Days parade. Beverly and Bob Johnson are city grand marshals of the parade on Saturday, which happens to be Beverly’s 70th birthday.

Bob and Beverly grew up in Humboldt and have been married for nearly 48 years. They had their first date in 1957, when they were 14 and freshmen in high school.

“He called and asked me to go to a party with him down at the park,” Beverly said. “We played spin the bottle.”

Beverly went to beauty school in Kansas City and worked in Iola and Chanute. After having their two children, Brenda and Bob, she decided to be a stay-

Government shutdown ends after 16 days WASHINGTON (AP) — By the thousands, furloughed federal workers began returning to work across the country Thursday after 16 days off the job due to the partial government shutdown.

The Office of Personnel Management announced that workers should return to work on their next regularly scheduled work day, noting that is Thursday for most workers. Nationwide, hundreds of thousands of workers have been furloughed since the shutdown began Oct. 1.

The office encouraged agencies to be flexible for a smooth transition by allow-

ing telework and excused absences in some cases.

“We’re back from the (hashtag)shutdown!” the Smithsonian Institution declared on Twitter, announcing that its 19 museums would reopen Thursday. The National Zoo was scheduled to reopen Friday.

The returning workers’ presence will be felt on the roads and rails in the Washington region, where commutes have been less crowded over the past two weeks.

The regional transit agency, Metro, reported a 20 percent drop in ridership when the shutdown began and has said See SHUTDOWN | Page A4

Still, he said support has dwindled over the years.

“The Veterans Day Parade was big,” Niemeyer said. Now, he describes it as bare bones. He said the largest expense the committee faces for the parade is insurance for a single day, which is required.

While some younger members have joined the committee, Niemeyer said it can use as much help as it can get.

Niemeyer reiterated their only goal.

While the Veterans Day Committee’s goal is “only to help the veterans,” it needs support more than ever to recognize Allen County’s servicemen and women.

“Iola has a lot of members, but we don’t get much help,” committee member Frank Niemeyer said. “We need money, we need members.”

The committee works to put on the Veterans Day Parade every year — this year’s is on Nov. 9 — and must fund the entire event. Niemeyer said the committee receives $600 from the city’s transient guest tax, and the only remaining contributions come from additions to the veterans memorial wall (for $15) and sidewalk tiles (for $50).

Mallory Flowers loves sports, especially volleyball, track and basketball. In a recent basketball game she turned around after grabbing a loose ball and her knee suddenly felt like it slipped out of place.

An MRI at her local hospital confirmed she had a torn ACL. They recommended she come to Labette Health for surgery.

“We chose Dr. Mosier because he also Dr. Kevin Mosier had a daughter that underwent this surOrthopedic Surgeon gery,” she said. “We felt that he would take the same care in helping me as he did in his own daughter and get back in playing the sports I love to play.”

To Mallory’s delight, she was able to start volleyball after six months of physical therapy.

“Everything has gone really good. I haven’t had any troubles at all. I can’t even tell that I had surgery,” she said. “I have a couple of friends who have had the same surgery as me and they didn’t come to Labette Health. There’s a big difference.”

Since her surgery Mallory is still involved in all her favorite sports – “if not better than I was before!”

Senate women save the day Thanks to the infusion of estrogen in the U.S. Senate, the country was saved from catastrophe this week.

Specifically, Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Kelly Ayote, New Hampshire, and Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, reached across the aisle to Democrats to formulate a successful plan to reopen the doors to government and save it from defaulting on its debt.

On the Democratic side, Sens. Barbara Mikulski, Maryland, and Patty Murray, Washington, were key negotiators.

Of the 13 senators who served on a bipartisan committee to come up with a suitable deal, half were women.

Perhaps because they are smaller in number, female members of the Senate, no matter their party affiliation, meet regularly to work on legislation.

It’s not unusual for them to meet after-hours for informal get-togethers. The practice engenders good listening skills. It’s harder to ignore a friend’s point of view.

Wednesday, the Hous-

ton Chronicle retracted its support for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, known for his 21hour monologue demanding the Affordable Care Act be stripped of its funding before any action would be taken on funding the federal government.

The Chronicle pined for the days of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, whom Cruz replaced, and Hutchinson’s diplomatic skills.

“We miss her extraordinary understanding of the importance of reaching across the aisle when necessary,” read the Chronicle editorial. “Cruz has been part of the problem in specific situations, where Hutchinson would have been part of the solution.”

NOW THAT the impasse is over — for now — perhaps male legislators can take note from their female peers on what makes effective governance. It’s really nothing more than respect for each other and keeping your sights on the greater good.

Sometimes it’s the simple lessons that are so hard to learn.

Shortchanging Kansas students The underfunding of Kansas public schools has been a long-running problem made worse by both parties in budget pinches over the years. But the schools’ fiscal agony took a precipitous turn last year when statehouse Republicans decided that an encouraging postrecession increase in revenues was the perfect moment for a huge tax cut, rather than for the overdue restoration of school aid to levels mandated under the State Constitution.

In signing a five-year, $3.7 billion tax cut, Gov. Sam Brownback took the position that cutting taxes did more to create jobs than meeting perstudent aid formulas. That

dodgy rationale was argued in the Kansas Supreme Court last week when a group of school districts and parents sued for their fair share of aid under the State Constitution’s “suitable provision” mandate.

State spending on education has fallen an estimated 16.5 percent since 2008, including $500 million in cuts under the Brownback administration, resulting in teacher layoffs and larger class sizes.

In response, lawyers for the state insisted that the Legislature, not the courts, was the best judge of what should be spent on the schools, and conservative lawmakers vowed to defy any court order to the

contrary.

The court should quickly put priorities in order by affirming a lower-court ruling last January that found the state “completely illogical” in using the new revenues to provide tax cuts while arguing it had inadequate resources for educating schoolchildren. The lower court unanimously ordered the state to increase annual education funding by at least $440 million.

The State Supreme Court should uphold that order while making it clear that the Legislature does not have the power to unilaterally shortchange schoolchildren.

Midwest headed to becoming a desert For years, Kansas and Nebraska have squabbled over water, because for years Nebraska irrigators have pumped too much water from the massive Ogallala Aquifer.

The result has been reduced streamflow in the Republican River, which feeds from Nebraska into Kansas. After it lost a federal challenge by Kansas on the issue, Nebraska had two choices to restore some of that streamflow to the Republican: Shut down a whole lot of irrigators and devastate a large chunk of their economy, or pump more water. They chose the latter option.

According to Journal reporter Tim Unruh’s story in Sunday’s edition, starting this year, Nebraska has been pumping 13,000 gallons a minute out of the Ogallala in western Nebraska and sending it downstream toward Kansas.

Think about that. Nebraska’s response to overpumping water from the aquifer is to pump even more water: more than 6.8 billion gallons a year of a finite resource that’s the

For decades, people have talked about preserving the Ogallala, but we’re not making substantial progress. lifeblood of the Great Plains economy.

And the amount being pumped is scheduled to grow significantly as Nebraska tries to meet its obligation.

That’s a terrible decision made even worse by the fact that 30 to 50 percent of that water will never reach Kansas but will be lost due to evaporation, seepage back into the ground and plant life along the stream.

The aquifer, which comes from snowmelt and other runoff from the Rocky Mountains, recharges at a rate of a half-inch a year in western Kansas, slightly more in western Nebraska. Some estimates are that we’ve used about 30 percent of the aquifer.

The decline in surface water is exacerbated by such farming methods as terracing and no-till farming, both of

which help capture water that might run down stream.

Gov. Sam Brownback told Unruh that instead of what Nebraska is doing, “We’d like a natural and sustainable long-term answer in the river system.” He’s right.

For decades, people have talked about preserving the Ogallala, but we’re not making substantial progress. Irrigators and government will have to come together to find better solutions than what was forced upon Nebraska.

Right now we have options; soon we won’t.

But no matter how you look at it, pumping more water out of the aquifer because you’ve pumped too much water wouldn’t seem to be a longterm answer. Not unless we’re looking for a return of the Great American Desert.

She said she considered teleworking for the first day or two but even-

tually decided “I might as well just get back into the swing of things.”

Hydrologist Julian Wayland, carrying his lunch in a paper bag, said he wasn’t sure how much work had piled up during the shutdown. His primary job is determining the age of groundwater samples.

“We’re definitely behind,” he said. “I’m glad it’s over.”

more space is needed, West said arrangements had been made to use the third block of West Street, as well as Chestnut.

“We were at a show in Fredonia last weekend and there were 125 cars there,” he said.

“If the weather is nice — it’s supposed to be and they’ve even taken the rain out for Friday — I think we’ll have as many here.”

Among those being shown will be West’s 1935 Ford 2-door sedan, which he spent six years customizing from its original condition.

“Its all steel, not a kit car,” West pointed out.

The drive train is later model and the car has modern safety features, along with power steering, air-conditioning and disk brakes.

“We’ve had it to shows in Sacramento (Calif.), Tampa (Fla.)

and everywhere in between,” he said.

He is an original member of Iola’s Coachmen’s Car Club, which formed in 1958.

“I grew up with cars,” said West, 70, “and have always been involved with hot rods,” allowing that he was one of many Americans who have had a life-long fascination with cars as more than just a means of transportation.

Show participants

will vie for 61 trophies, given in various classes and for such things as best paint job, interior and engine. Motorcycles also will be shown.

Four prizes of $50 each will be given in a drawing open to those who bring cars to Iola, and the best-of-show winner will receive $100 and a special trophy.

“The show is going to be a lot of fun for owners as well as spectators,” West concluded.

in how the food they eat is grown or raised.

“If you have a policy of you eat what you grow, then those principles will likely change how you grow food,” Duwayne said. “We’re certainly not going to sell something we wouldn’t eat ourselves.”

The Beardens manage a heard of 25 Angus cows and 300 chickens. They sell the beef and broilers from their home. Bolling’s Meat Market stocks their eggs, averaging 20-30 dozen a week.

The cattle are grassfed with the addition of minerals and vitamins but minus hormones or antibiotics. The chickens roam around a spacious coop, producing about 100 eggs a day.

They are fed only grains with no additives.

Large-scale poultry producers add ground up feathers, “feather meal,” and bones from the poultry they have slaughtered to their chicken feed, Duwayne said with a disgusted look.

Before Cara Bolling opened her meat market and deli in Iola, Debbie drove to Wichita each Saturday morning to sell their eggs there.

“It went against our idea of local food for local people,” she said.

“I also was wasting all that fossil fuel to drive to Wichita, which didn’t

feel good.”

THE FARMERS Market reopened in 2009 due to the efforts of Debbie and her position as county coordinator at the Allen County Farm Bureau Association.

The market had ceased when vendors objected to the Kansas Department of Revenue insisting they include and report sales tax receipts.

Today, the practice is not a problem, she said.

Most vendors report their sales quarterly and are charged a 8.55 percent tax.

The market on the west side of the Iola square is on Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Last Thursday was the last for the season.

Good weather helped sales and attendance this year. Statistics gathered by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment showed an evening in July tallied 38 vendors catering to more than 1,000 shoppers and their families.

“That’s not only good for vendors but for all of the Iola merchants that extend their Thursday night hours, especially those around the square,” Debbie said.

Duwayne espouses the other benefits of the market.

“The market is a time of fellowship, bringing families and friends together. While parents shop, their children are

entertained at the reading booth. It also connects people with their food.

“It’s important to know where your food comes from and to have a relationship with the people who grow it. The United States doesn’t have a food problem — we have enough food — it has a nutrition problem. For a long time we as a country have not insisted on good principles of raising food.”

Both Duwayne, 56, and Debbie, 54, grew up on farms, he in Huntsville, Ark., and she in Havana.

They met at her parents’ dairy, where Duwayne worked while he was a student at Coffeyville Community College.

At the time, Debbie was a student at Kansas State University, where she received a degree in animal science with a minor in journalism in 1980.

“She came home one weekend and I saw the bounce in her step and the quickness of her

smile as she looked over her shoulder at me. It was inevitable,” he said of their marriage 18 months later.

They have been married 32 years. Their son Raudy died on July 19, 2002, from a drowning accident at a lake in Oklahoma while at a family reunion. He was 18. Their son Travis, 25, and his wife, Kayla, have two children.

Debbie homeschooled her sons for their entire educations.

Travis has worked for Murphy Roofing since he completed his requirements for a high school education.

Their son Bob lives in Humboldt with his wife Melanie and children Noah, 14, Emma, 11, Alayna, 11, and Maddox, 9.

Their grandchildren keep them very busy.

“We go and see all of their sporting events,” Beverly said.

She said she has always liked to work with kids. She was a paraprofessional for many years at McKinley and Jefferson elementary schools and helped set up a Bible study group for “tweens.”

“We started the Bible study in Humboldt last year,” she said. “We teach them about friendship and the Lord.”

The study group is now working on Christmas shoeboxes and they want to help a child in Humboldt for the Christmas season.

She recently started line dancing for exercise and enjoys helping at their church.

BOB IS in his 50th year at the Iola Register.

He originally went to Pittsburg State University to study math, and worked evenings at the Pittsburg Sun newspaper. That led to a professional career in journalism.

The first year, “I worked the 4 to midnight shift as a proofreader,” he said.

The next year he got a chance to write sports but he didn’t know how to type.

“I taught myself to type in a week,” he said proudly.

In 1964 he was asked to

be a sports writer at the Register.

“I thought I’d come do it and go back to school, but once we got married and had kids I stayed,” Bob said.

Since Bob started 50 years ago he has written more than 2,000 of his “At Week’s End” columns and, as it is with reporters in smalltown newspapers, he has had his hand in photography, feature writing, news and sports. In 2000 he won a Farm Bureau award for agriculture writing, in competition with reporters at all other newspapers in Kansas, large and small.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with Emerson and Susan,” he said. “It’s nice to keep the local flavor to the newspaper.”

Through the years Bob also coached local baseball for 18 years, including the American Legion when it won its first state championship in 1988, and was a trustee at Allen Community College for 12 years.

In their many years together, Beverly and Bob have traveled a lot.

They both agree Hawaii was their favorite place to visit.

“We just got done following the Oregon Trail” through northeast Kansas and Nebraska, Beverly said.

They also like to take vacations to see their grandchildren in Roswell.

While they have traveled far and wide, they enjoy calling Iola their home.

Being named the grand marshals of the Farm-City Days Parade came as a shock to the couple.

“It’s something I never expected,” Bob said.

“You never think about how much you do for the community. We’ve had a good time and it’s a good place to raise children.

We hope we’re here for a while longer.”

Crucial matchup may end Iola-Chanute rivalry

Special activities on tap Friday

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Iola High’s next opportunity to see how much the Mustang program has grown over the past two seasons will be a tough one.

The Mustangs will travel the familiar path down U.S. 169 to take on an old nemesis in Chanute High Friday, in what may be the final game between the two schools for the time being.

With the split of Class 4A into two divisions, and Iola moving last season from the Southeast Kansas League to the Pioneer League, the football schedule for 2014 and 2015 will not feature Iola-Chanute for the first time in decades.

Doug Kerr, IHS head coach, has paid little attention to that aspect of Friday’s game, nor does he much care how long its been since Iola has defeated Chanute — a 21-0 victory in 1988, for those keeping track.

More importantly to Kerr, Friday’s matchup starts district play. The games over the next three weeks will determine which schools will qualify for the postseason.

“These kids don’t care how we did against Chanute back in the 1990s or early 2000s,” Kerr said. “We haven’t talked about the history, and we won’t. All these kids know is they beat us last year.”

And Iola can’t put much weight on their most recent matchup, a 35-0 Blue Comet victory in 2012 played in monsoon-like conditions that de-

ACC picks up crucial victory

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

ARKANSAS CITY — A double-overtime victory Wednesday has Allen Community College’s women at a historic high.

Kyleigh Rowe’s goal on a cross from Lexi Godlove gave the Red Devils a critical 2-1 victory over Cowley Community College.

With the victory, Allen (7-7 overall and 5-5 in Region VI play) has seven wins for the first time in the history of the women’s program.

More importantly, Allen now has 15 points, just two behind Independence in the battle for the final seed in the Region VI playoffs.

It just so happens Allen will host Independence in a match Tuesday.

“The girls are thrilled about the opportunity,” head coach Jeremy McGinnis said. “We needed this win after our game at Dodge.”

On Sunday, the Red Devils led Dodge City late in the second half before giving up the tying goal in regulation and the winning goal in overtime in a 2-1 defeat.

The Red Devils rebounded with some familiar faces leading the way.

Godlove took a perfectly placed pass from Kristen Tainatongo, which led to a breakaway goal for Allen’s first tally against Cowley.

“We had some great opportunities in the second half,” McGinnis said. “Rowe had one shot off the cross bar, another See ACC | Page B4

Iola High’s Brice Aiello, center, and his Mustang teammates will face an attacking, physical defense Friday when they visit Chanute to open district play. Here, Aiello carries the ball against Wellsville last week. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN layed the start of the contest for about three hours.

If Iola is to snap its 24-game losing streak to the Blue Comets, the Mustangs will have to contend with an aggressive defense intent on creating havoc.

“They’re almost a high school version of the Kansas City Chiefs this season,” Kerr said. “They’re very good at getting to the ball, forcing

turnovers and giving their offense a short field. Their linebackers are very good.

“Their defense will be our toughest challenge to date,” Kerr said.

Meanwhile, the Blue Comet offense is keyed by first-year starting quarterback Christian Wiltse, who replaces graduating standout Brock Gilmore.

“That completely changed their offense,” Kerr said. “A lot of their offense last year was predicated on their quarterback getting the ball to their big receivers. Now, their quarterback focuses much more on running the option. They have some good backs and receivers.”

To counter the Chanute attack, Iola may look to borrow

CHANUTE — While their rivalry will remain in spirit, Iola High and Chanute High will show some cooperation Friday evening when the Mustangs visit the Blue Comets on the football field.

The Iola cheerleaders will join their Chanute counterparts for a unified half-time show, while Iola patrons are invited to wear pink along with the hometown crowd as part of Chanute’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities.

Friday’s football game will be the final time the two rivals play each other.

With Iola’s switch to the Pioneer League from the old Southeast Kansas League, and separation of Class 4A this fall into two divisions, the Mustangs and Blue Comets now find themselves in different leagues and state classifications.

When football schedules for 2014 and 2015 were announced earlier this month, Chanute was no longer on Iola’s schedule for the first time in decades.

a page or two from Central Heights, which controlled the ball for much of the game in a 28-7 win over Iola two weeks ago.

“Converting on third down will be pivotal for us,” he said.

“We want to keep the ball away See MUSTANGS | Page B4

Red Devils come back in win over Labette

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Roaring along with their most successful stretch in years, Allen Community College’s volleyball team came up with another victory Wednesday night, downing visiting Labette Community College.

It didn’t necessarily follow the same formula as many of Allen’s previous matches, but the Red Devils’ four-set victory still left head coach Jessica Peters happy with the result.

“It was almost a reverse of the way we’d been playing,” Peters said of Allen’s 21-25, 25-15, 25-22, 25-12 victory. “In the past, it was Allen starting quickly, then having a letdown in sets two or three, and then being challenged to win in five.

“If I had to pick, I’d probably choose tonight’s version,” she continued. “We got our bad play out of the way early and was able to leave it behind.”

Wednesday’s slow period was at the start of the match.

Allen and Labette traded points in the first set until the Cardinals broke an 18-18 deadlock with five straight points to seize control.

Many of Labette’s points came from Allen errors, Peters noted.

“They only earned 10 of

Allen Community College’s Adriee Munoz (5), Lizzy Huey (9) and Sidney Keith (4) go up for a block Wednesday in the Red Devils’ four-set victory over Labette. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN their points,” she said. “The other 15 came from hitting or serving errors from us. We actually had more kills in our first game than any other the rest of the night, but we also

had more errors.”

The early setback prompted Peters to alter her lineup slightly.

“We flipped our rotation, putting our front row to the

back row, so we could match up different blockers,” Peters said.

Allen men defeat Cowley, move back to .500

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

ARKANSAS CITY — One of Doug Desmarteau’s toughest coaching choices ever occurred earlier this year when he named Chase Tonkin the starting goalkeeper for Allen Community Colleges.

“That’s because we have two great goalkeepers,” he noted.

Rather than fret, Victor Ortega, Allen’s other goalkeeper, stayed positive throughout the season, and stepped up when needed.

He was definitely needed Wednesday.

When Tonkin exited Wednesday’s match against Cowley, Ortega stepped in and recorded several key saves in the Red Devils’ 2-1 victory.

The win lifts Allen to 6-6 on the season and 4-4 in Jayhawk Conference play.

“I’ve played goalkeeper,

and I know how hard it is to stay into the game if you’re not starting,” Desmarteau said. “Victor has done a great job when he’s had the opportunity.”

Ortega’s saves held up after George Georgiev scored See ALLEN | Page B4

Weight problems differ with diabetes Diet must be tailored to specific health issue Dear Dr. Roach: Can you tell me why there is so much emphasis on small portions for diabetics or prediabetics? If you are watching carbs and are extremely underweight, is there still a reason to limit portion sizes?

— C. Answer : The majority of people in North America with diabetes and prediabetes are overweight or obese, so limiting portion size makes sense for most people. However, for the minority of people with diabetes or prediabetes with normal or below-normal weight, portion size no longer has the importance it does in overweight people.

A careful diet is important for everyone with diabetes. I would be cautious about the term “carbs,” since there are several different types of carbohydrates. Simple sugars and starches are the problem for diabetics, since they are rapidly converted to blood sugar. However, fruits, vegetables and whole grains are much more slowly turned into

blood sugar, and along with high-quality protein and healthy fat, form the basis of a healthy diet for everybody — diabetics and non-diabetics alike.

Being underweight with diabetes should raise the possibility of

type I diabetes, which is caused by autoimmune destruction of the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Type I diabetics have no or almost no insulin, and absolutely need insulin by injection. Most people with type I are children or adolescents, but it can happen in adults. Type II diabetes is caused by resistance to insulin.

Most type II diabetics have normal or even high levels of insulin.

Insulin helps bring sugar from the blood into cells, but it also acts as a growth hor-

mon in adults, but as North Americans continue to have increasing rates of obesity, type II diabetes is showing up at younger and younger ages.

The situation is even more complex than I have made it here.

There are people with elements of both type I and II diabetes, and even rarer types. I believe type I diabetics should be managed by an endocrinologist. Sophisticated blood tests, including insulin, C-peptide and insulin antibodies, occasionally are necessary to sort out what kind of

diabetes is present.

Dear Dr. Roach: My husband has numerous skin tags under both arms. Now he’s starting to get them around his neck and on his eyelids.

We’ve been told to tie a string around them, or a dermatologist he saw told him to get a good pair of cuticle scissors and cut them off, but there’s way too many to do that. Is there anything else we might try?

— R.L. Answer: Skin tags are benign growths that are very common on the neck, armpits, groin or other places where skin rubs. They are harmless, and nothing needs to be done about them unless they are cosmetically important.

The best way to remove them is to have a dermatologist or other expert remove them directly. I don’t recommend trying to remove them yourself with scissors, since I have occasionally seen them bleed enough after removal to require a stitch.

The last time I wrote about skin tags, several readers wrote to recommend Tag Away, an over-the counter product. It may be worth a try, although the reviews about this product are rather mixed.

downing Northeast, 2510, 25-10, and JayhawkLinn, 11-25, 25-19, 16-14.

“The girls stepped up tonight to secure their wins,” JV coach Jamie Stodgell said. “They had to battle back from a large deficit in the second and third sets to take Jayhawk. Their teamwork and determination paid off.”

Leading the way in the JV match were Shauna Knight, 18 points and two kills; Kenzie Harrison, 16 points and two kills, Misty Storrer, 15 points and six kills; Tessa Olson, eight points, four kills and four blocks; Alex Thomas, seven points and two kills; Tanna Lutz, six points and three kills.

SCC sweeps matches LE ROY — Southern Coffey County High wrapped up its home schedule in style Tuesday, sweeping past visiting Hartford, 25-21, 25-13, and Marais des Cygnes Valley, 25-15, 25-19, in a pair of volleyball matches.

“The girls played with a lot of enthusiasm,” Lady Titan head coach Jeff True said, noting the match was the home finale for seniors Miranda Alumbaugh, Kianie David, Breanna Isch, Chenae Newkirk, Amanda Sherwood and Sarah Stewart. “It was great to see them get two

wins in their last home games. We did a better job of staying aggressive with their passing, setting and hitting.”

Newkirk had 19 digs and 10 assists, while Sherwood had 10 assists and 11 digs. Isch racked up 20 kills.

The Lady Titans served at a 90 percent clip on the night.

The seniors were recognized in a ceremony before the last match with Marais des Cygnes Valley.

“People will say, ‘Oh, you’ve got to beat these guys,’” Kerr said. “To be honest, with district play, I don’t care what color jersey the other team is wearing. We just

want to win.

“We’re still growing as a program, and that’s our ultimate goal — to get better,” he said.

solo blocks, and 25 others in which teammates combined for assisted blocks.

A trio of Red Devils took full advantage.

Sophomore Danielle Goodman blasted 17 kills, with a .326 attack percentage.

“Her teammates kept feeding her the ball, and she kept attacking,” Peters said.

Meanwhile, Lizzy Huey had several key blocks, particularly late in the third set.

Her block capped a 5-1 ACC run to give the Red Devils a 20-16 lead. Labette got no closer than

24-22 the rest of the set.

Andonae Magdziarz’s kill gave the Red Devils the set.

“Lizzy Huey was a blocking machine,” Peters said. “And Sarah Charbonneau did a nice job of keeping balls alive for us so our hitters could keep attacking.”

Huey wound up with four solo and seven assisted blocks. Charbonneau had a team-high 27 digs.

The fourth set was all Allen. Sidney Keith had three kills in a 14-3 run that gave the Red Devils an 18-7 lead.

twice for Allen to overcome an early 1-0 deficit.

His first came on an assist from Oscar Marrufo, the second on a corner kick from Erick Rivera.

“George plays on the back line, so he doesn’t get a lot of opportunities to score, but he does a great job with the ball in the air and on corner kicks,” Desmartau said.

“He’s been one of our

most consistent players.”

The Red Devils were without the services of Dorian Fox because of an injury.

“It’s good to see the guys step up and play to our strengths,” Desmarteau said. “Coming back from an early deficit isn’t something we’ve had to do a lot, so this was a good learning experience.”

Keith was her solid all-around self with 13 kills, 23 digs and five solo or assisted blocks.

The victory came after Allen received word that the Red Devils once again were receiving votes and are just outside the top 20 ranked NJCAA Division II schools in the nation.

The victory lifts Allen’s record to 22-10 overall — they’ve won 18 of 21 after a 4-7 start — and 5-3 in Region VI play.

Instead, the Red Devils continued their sterling defense in front of goalkeeper Keelie Arbuckle, who registered five saves.

It looked like the teams were headed for a tie until Rowe’s goal sent the Red Devils home on a high note.

“You could tell in the girls’ eyes they really wanted this win,” McGinnis said. “It was an awesome way to finish that game.”
