Southwestern Community College’s Spartan Court bares its bones while workers construct the ceiling of the first floor of the building. The residence hall will have three floors and is expected to be finished in July.

Southwestern Community College Board of Directors approved several bid packages for the new dormitory project.

All board members were present.

Spartan Court, the selected name for the new residence hall located south of SWCC’s Instructional Center, will house 92 students and include community room and group study lounges.

The three-story building was estimated to cost $6.2 million. However, Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development, said there is a possibility the college will save money.

“I hate to jinx myself, but I’m going to say we’re going to be a little below budget,” said Lesan.

The project’s expected completion date is July 14.

Bids After holding public hearings, board members voted to approve consideration of bids for 15 bid packages.

However, construction for Spartan Court is behind because of weather.

“Two weeks behind is what they’re telling me, but nothing they don’t think they can’t make up,” said Lesan.

Currently, the first floor is under construction.

Floors two and three have not been constructed yet.

(MCT) — With nearly three-and-a-half months before Republican voters pick a U.S. Senate candidate, Mark Jacobs is claiming to lead the sixperson field – even claiming a “small” lead over the likely Democratic nominee.

Jacobs’ campaign released a Hill Research Consultants poll Monday that found the former energy company executive leading state Sen. Joni Ernst of Red Oak 22 percent to 11 percent in the race for the GOP nomination. Businessman and former U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker and college professor Sam Clovis polled 8 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Businessman Ernst Scott Schaben and attorney Paul Lunde, both of Ames, also are seeking the nomination.

Jacobs also has a “too close to call” lead – 42 percent to 41 percent – over U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, a four-term Democrat from Waterloo, in the race to succeed retiring Sen. Tom Harkin, according to Hill.

The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percent for the poll that had a base sample of 500 Iowans likely to vote in November 2014 general election.

That was supplemented with interviews with 300 additional Republicans. All interviews were conducted by telephone Feb. 12-13, including at least 30 percent on cellphones.

The numbers aren’t as positive as the Jacobs’ campaign is saying, according to Ernst’s polling firm.

The so-called Jacobs lead is the product of a $600,000-plus statewide media blitz that shows a candidate “failing to gain traction among Iowa Republicans,” said Ed Goeas, president of The Tarrance Group. Under Iowa law, a candidate needs 35 percent of the primary election vote, not 22 percent, to gain the party’s nomination.

“As the old saying goes, you can’t buy Iowa voters and you can’t buy Iowa values,” Goeas said.

“Jacobs may continue to spend his personal wealth in an attempt to buy support, but the closer voters look at this race and his credentials, particularly when others start their own paid media program, he may find himself in a deep downward spiral.”

Brian Dumas of the Jacobs campaign called the

SENATE: Continued from Page 1

results significant, especially the fact the West Des Moines Republican has a 40 percent to 38 percent advantage over Braley among independent voters despite Braley having nearly twice the name recognition of Jacobs.

Jacobs “will doubtless fare better” if he can improve his name recognition, Hill said, because among voters who “know” both candidate the Republican leads 52 percent to 35 percent.

A lead in February is meaningless, according to Braley spokesman Jeff Giertz.

“By the time the election comes around in November, Iowa votes will be well-aware of the clear contrast between Bruce, who is fighting to raise the minimum wage and protect Social Security and Medicare, and his Republican opponent who is siding with out-of-state oil billionaires at every turn against an increase an increase in the minimum wage and against Iowa families,” Giertz said.

However, Dumas believes the poll results confirm that Jacobs’ background as a business problem-solver and his focus on job creation is what people are looking for in their

next U.S. senator.

What the poll confirms is that Jacobs spent “hundreds of thousands of dollars on TV and radio and, of course, he has more name ID than the rest of us,” said Chuck Laudner of the Clovis campaign.

“I wouldn’t have had to spend a lot of money on a poll to tell you that,” he said.

“Even if I had $1 million I wouldn’t spend it on TV over the Christmas holidays.”

Among the Republican field, Jacobs leads in name recognition and favorability, according to Hill. He was known by 34 percent of the 800 Iowans likely to vote in the November general election and was viewed favorably by 13 percent.

While Jacobs’ advertising may have given him a name ID bump, Laudner said “there’s another tier of voters who haven’t engaged yet.”

Jason Klindt of the Whitaker campaign called the poll “simply a snapshot in time.”

“Whitaker is the most electable conservative in the race,” he said.

asking, ‘Can we reserve a room in the new dorm?’” said Lesan. “I’ll feel a little better when the second and third floors are done.”

Landscaping The bid package for landscaping did not have any bids. However, the college’s spring 2014 Introduction to Horticulture students have plans to landscape both Spartan Hall and Spartan Court.

“This year’s class that’s meeting right now will design the plan, and next year’s class will plant, and do all of that stuff,” L e s a n said.

Lesan also said there is the possibility a Lesan local landscaper will be hired to do the actual landscape labor.

The plans will be different since Spartan Hall has existing landscaping, and has a vertical heating and cooling system outside, while Spartan Court will have new ground and a horizontal heating and cooling system that landscaping can’t be in front of.

“So, a great experience for the students,” Lesan said. “I really believe it is, and Erica Blair, the instructor, she’s saying the same thing.”

The landscaping could take six to nine months, but there is a chance it could take up to a year to complete.

Other bids SWCC Board will hold a public hearing 5:30 p.m.

Feb. 27 for bid packages for fire sprinklers and electrical. The designs for fire sprinklers were not up to code, and the changes were not made in time, while the bid for electric was rejected.

A bid was received for electrical work by Van Maanen Electric in Newton for $1,308,900, but the amount budgeted for electrical was $643,861, less than half the bid amount.

The bid was unanimously rejected.

Electrical and fire sprinklers will most likely be done mid-April.

Spartan Court will be furnished by Contract Supply, the company Southwestern currently uses to furnish Spartan Suites. The contract is proposed for $164,384.50, compared to a competitive quote by Savoy Supply for dorm room furniture, excluding installation, for $179,547.50.

—————— Lacey Ann Malson, 19, 610 N. Birch St., was charged with fifth-degree theft 1:50 p.m. Feb. 14 at her residence.

According to a Creston Police report, officers were dispatched to Dollar General, 703 W. Taylor St., in reference to a female believed to be attempting to leave the store with items without paying for them. The female left, and officers were given the license plate number of the vehicle she was in. Officers did not find the vehicle, and spoke with employees at the store. Employees advised the female had a handful of makeup and other items, but when she went to the register she only had two cans of soup. Employees asked if she had anything else, the female said no, became upset and left the store. Officers then went to the house of the registered owner of the vehicle and located the female, who was identified as Malson. She was questioned, and lied to officers. Officers then located the purse she had while in the store, and inside were several items that matched the description given at Dollar General.

Malson was released on promise to appear.

OPINION

Electile dysfunction in the big easy NEW ORLEANS — A security guard and a lawyer walked into a bar. Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. It’s bad, all right, but no joke.

Everyone in this town, including two drinking buddies, was talking about the federal public corruption trial of former mayor Ray Nagin.

“So,” the guard asked the lawyer, “what’s going to happen?”

What happened was this: Nagin was convicted of accepting bribes and found guilty of 20 out of 21 counts. Nobody yet knew the outcome the recent day I listened to men and women on the street, in cafes, stores and bars. The trial was in progress. But Nagin already was toast in the court of public opinion.

Back to the bar scene. After a long response that detailed in legalese the bribes accepted by Na-

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

gin — including exotic vacations, meals, granite for the family business and money — the lawyer predicted Nagin would do time.

The security guard frowned and said: “I bought him a Big Mac once, and he super-sized it.”

That, in a nutshell, was the beef on the street against Nagin. While everyone in Post-Katrina New Orleans was struggling, living like refugees, hurt to the quick, Nagin super-sized the perks of his office.

He made hay while the sun definitely was not shining.

Nagin became nationally fa-

mous when Katrina smote his city. His televised appeals for help were dramatic, the profanity heard ‘round the world. And after Katrina, voters rewarded him with a second term, giving him the benefit of the doubt about his sometimesemotional and erratic performance as mayor.

After all, there was a flood of emotion, a tsunami of confusion. I defended in print both Nagin’s curses and thenGov. Kathleen Blanco’s tears.

It was a time to cuss and cry.

Everybody knew he played hooky, acted cocky, but we couldn’t know for sure his sins weren’t mostly those of omission. Until now. Nagin was the 60th New Orleans mayor and the first ever to be charged with corruption. Probably plenty of others deserved to be, but he

was the first.

Among the 21 charges were wire fraud, bribery and money laundering. A real smorgasbord of corruption. Before and after Katrina, prosecutors proved.

Nobody seemed all that surprised it happened. A mayor on trial is just one more thing to laugh about in the Big Easy. People here have seen smoke, fire and rain. They have seen a former governor sent to prison and return to star in a reality television show. “But Nagin really disappointed me,” a young engineer told me.

In the latest edition of Krewe du Vieux’s spoof newspaper, all kinds of “electile dysfunction” is mentioned. And in its wild and vile Mardi Gras parade, a man marched in this sandwich sign: “Ray Nagin took us for granite.”

T-shirts with similar messages are on sale. But then Nagin always has been good for T-shirt sales.

While irreverence and humor might be better coping mechanisms than crying over spilt milk, you have to wonder if the threshold for tolerating corrupt officials isn’t now higher than the levees.

Not just in Louisiana, but across the American political horizon.

“Dirty politics” is becoming as redundant as “cold beer.” And we keep buying the burgers. *** To find out more about Rheta Grimsley Johnson and her books, visit www.rhetagrimsleyjohnsonbooks.com. (c) 2014 Rheta Grimsley Johnson Distributed by King Features Syndicate

George Washington’s Birthday was celebrated at Mount Vernon HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

George Washington’s Birthday was celebrated at Mount Vernon Monday with speeches and the Fife and Drum Corps. Admission was free. George Washingon is greatly beloved because he’s the only president who never blamed his troubles on the previous administration.

History of the crisis fund

From Jim Morris

All letters reflect solely the opinion of the writer and are not necessarily the opinion of the Creston News Advertiser.

A large number of persons have approached me and asked that I prepare a letter to the editor outlining the origins of the crisis fund of the Union County Ministerial Alliance before those origins are lost.

In the mid-1970s, the Creston Ministerial Alliance, as it was then named, confronted a problem of persons in the county who were going from one church to another seeking funds. The Alliance decided to take action which would do two things: to provide a unified approach to those who were in need and deal with the abuse.

Three persons were appointed to research what others were doing, and to make recommendations to the alliance. Father Art McCann was appointed chair of the committee, with Rev. Dale Cunningham, long-term pastor of the Presbyterian Church and Rev. Jim Morris, head of the 10-church larger parish in the eastern part of the county, as members. Much work went into their report, which was reported to the Alliance at a regular meeting where the report was presented, discussed at length, amended and adopted by the group. All the churches in the county except three

subsequently adopted the report.

The report included the following guidelines: 1. The name adopted was the crisis fund of the Creston Ministerial Alliance.

2. All funds which came into the Creston Ministerial Alliance would be directed to the crisis fund, so that every contributor would know their contribution went entirely to alleviate community crisis needs.

3. The treasurer of the Creston Ministerial Alliance would administer the crisis fund under the direction and guidance of the Alliance.

4. Funds would be administered in a system of trust, confidentiality, and in an honor system to include all of Union County.

5. Any and all changes in the administration of the fund would be dealt with at a regular meeting of the Creston Ministerial Alliance prior to their implementation.

6. A monthly report of the income and disbursements of the crisis fund would be shared by the treasurer at all regular meetings.

7. The place of the crisis fund distribution would be reconsidered at the election of a new treasurer.

Handicapped accessibility would be the primary consideration.

itself has chaged its name to the Union County Ministerial Alliance. The areas served have been enlarged to include persons coming from beyond the county, such as Orient, Macksburg, Diagonal, Tingley and Clearfield. The size of grants and their frequency have been changed many times, most recently in January 2013. But all income of the Union County Ministerial Alliance has always gone into the crisis fund. All policies and procedures have always been carefully and prayerfully considered by the Alliance prior to implementation.

Those in need in the county who are in crisis may still come and receive aid. At the present time, that help is limited to $30 in the form of a gas voucher, a direct gift, or a Christmas club voucher. Aid will only be given every 60 days. There is also an agreement with Super Eight Motel for a one-night stay for homeless persons or families.

All of these guidelines are subject to change by the Union County Ministerial Alliance at any time.

These are what I recall as the origins of the crisis fund, which continues to do a great deal of good in Union County. Father McCann and his committee did solid and enduring work, and we owe much to him.

Get credit for signing Dear Heloise: With all the identity theft, should I SIGN THE BACK OF MY CREDIT CARDS or not? — Janice W., via email Yes, you should sign credit cards, even if there is concern that someone might practice your signature and then use the card. Credit-card companies tell retailers not to accept the card for use if it is not signed, so if you want to be sure you can use it, you’d better sign it.

Merchants can ask you to sign the card in front of them (if it is not signed when you hand it to them) and then produce another form of ID with a matching signature. If you refuse, the credit card may be declined for payment. — Heloise P.S.: You can add the words “Check ID” by your signature and hope retailers will look at the back of the card, see those words and ask for it, but it is no guarantee.

Eagles sidelined in overtime, 48-45

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

National Digest Ice gold SOCHI, Russia — Through 17 years of grueling practices, of defeats and victories, Meryl Davis and Charlie White insist they’ve never considered parting ways.

A perfect pairing, they were nearly flawless at the Sochi Olympics, and on Monday they became the first Americans to win an ice dance gold medal.

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada, the 2010 champions, took silver, while bronze went to Russia’s Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov.

Davis and White won silver in Vancouver, but in the four years since they have overtaken the Canadians, their training partners in Detroit under Russian coach Marina Zoueva.

New No. 2 NEW YORK — Syracuse is still No. 1 in the AP college basketball poll, but it is no longer a unanimous choice.

The Orange (25-0), who won two games in the final seconds last week, are on top for a third straight week but they received 64 first-place votes Monday from the 65-member national media panel. They were a unanimous choice the last two weeks.

Florida (23-2), which won at Kentucky on Saturday, moved from third to second and received the other first-place vote.

Wichita State (27-0), the only other unbeaten Division I team, moved from fourth to third while Arizona, which lost to Arizona State last week, dropped from second to fourth.

Duke moved from eighth to fifth and was followed by San Diego State, Cincinnati, Kansas, Villanova and Saint Louis.

UCLA, at No. 23, and Gonzaga, at No. 25, return to the rankings replacing SMU and Pittsburgh.

AFTON —Trevor Barnett’s 3-pointer from the top of the key at the buzzer on an out-of-bounds play to force overtime seemed to be a momentum boost for the East Union boys Monday night.

The Eagles were looking for better luck in the extra session against Mormon Trail to open Class 1A District 12 play, than the 53-50 overtime loss to Orient-Macksburg on Friday.

Barnett ignited cheering screams in the Eagles’ gym when he swished his late 3-pointer after curling off Barnett a screen from the low block, receiving the inbounds pass from just in front of the East Union bench. That tied the score 42-42, as East Union had seemingly recovered from a stagnant third quarter.

The Eagles (4-17) had bolted to a 10-point halftime lead (28-18), only to see the entire margin disappear in Mormon Trail’s 13-3 third quarter. The Saints led 42-39 when East Union took the ball out of bounds with just 1.2 seconds left.

East Union teammates Tyler Kelley (32) and Mason Gossman (44) greet Trevor Barnett (14) after Barnett ended regulation with a 3-point basket at the buzzer to tie the score with Mormon Trail, 42-42, in their Class 1A district tournament game Monday in Afton.

Barnett had a team-high 18 points in his final game for the Eagles, as Mormon Trail advanced with a 48-45 victory.

gles regained the ball and coach Thad Tussey set up the tying play.

“We had just run our default side out-of-bounds play, so I didn’t want to run the same thing,” Tussey said. “We did some screen the screener action after Trevor started on the ballside block. He hit it.”

But East Union’s execution wasn’t as sharp in the overtime period, and some crucial free throw misses paved the way for Mormon

Trail to advance with a 4845 victory.

The Saints (11-10) meet 21-0 Lamoni at 8 p.m.

Thursday in Lamoni, after Lenox takes on Diagonal at 6:30 p.m.

“Lamoni will be a tough one,” Mormon Trail coach Aaron Palmer said. “When we started overtime tonight, I told them we’re a better team than they are, and we just have to go out in the next four minutes and show them that

we are. In the second half we slowed down and set up the offense better. We seemed pretty flustered in the first half.”

Those opening 16 minutes went almost exactly as Tussey had designed. The Eagles led 10-9 after one period and 28-18 at the break.

“Our scouting report worked in the first half,” Tussey said. “We wanted to full-court pressure number 21 (Kelton Stansbery)

and make him give up the ball sooner than he wanted to. He’s their best player.”

Stansbery finished with 18 points, many on quick drives into the lane on the fast break. Seniors Barnett and Jesse Akers finished with 18 and 12, respectively, for the Eagles, who shot only 8-of-15 at the free throw line.

“Our problem is three points in the third quarter,” Tussey said. “We got outscored 13-3 and there goes your 10-point lead. We went four minutes without scoring in the third quarter. Shooting 50 percent from the free throw line, that’s not going to win you games.”

Tussey was disappointed that the Eagles couldn’t hold a one-point lead with under two minutes to play in the fourth quarter, after Dustin Hoyt’s free throw created a 45-44 advantage.

With 42 seconds left, an East Union baseline shot missed, and after the Saints took over possession, Stansbery scored a layup to put Mormon Trail ahead 46-45 with 32 seconds left.

Then East Union turned it over at the 15-second mark, requiring fouls to stop the clock. Jakob Horton sank both free throws to make it 48-45 in Mormon Trail’s favor.

Barnett wasn’t able to recreate the earlier magic, missing from 3-point range at :04. A quick foul after Please see EAGLES, page 9A

Brackets drawn in Class 1A Spartans lack energy up would be against sixthBy SCOTT VICKER

The Class 1A State Wrestling Tournament brackets are set and the seven area wrestlers who qualified in Class 1A now know what their paths to the podium look like.

Wrestling action in Class 1A kicks off at 7 p.m. on Thursday, with the first round and first round consolation matches scheduled to last until 10:15 p.m.

Here is a look at each of the seven area state qualifiers and what their brackets look like.

Going for gold

113 class

SOCHI, Russia — The work began before the U.S. women’s hockey team reached the medal round, before it arrived in Sochi, before the roster was even selected.

Four years ago, the Americans left the Olympics with a silver medal.

And Julie Chu was determined to be back.

“When that buzzer goes off and it erupted in the arena and we fell short of our goal of being the best in the world, that hurts,” the four-time Olympian said after the United States beat Sweden 6-1 on Monday to reach the gold medal game in Sochi. “The last four years, that’s been our goal.”

Megan Bozek and Brianna Decker each had a goal and two assists, and the Americans outshot Sweden 70-9 to clinch no worse than a silver medal.

The U.S. has medaled in every Winter Games since women’s hockey was added in 1998, and just once — with a loss to Sweden in the 2006 semifinals — failed to reach the Olympic championship game.

Fifth-ranked Bedford/ Lenox freshman Jared Hensley, 35-1 for the season, o p e n s against Gannon C o o k (24-11) of East Buchanan, Winthrop. Hensley After that opening round match, Hensley will have to earn a trip to the finals. His likely quarterfinal match-

ranked Briar Cochran (413) of Moravia.

Also in Hensley’s half of the bracket are the top two ranked wrestlers in Class 1A at 113 pounds.

Highland Riverside Freshman Bryce West (43-1) and Clarion-Goldfield sophomore Josh Portillo (24-0) would meet in the quarterfinals if both win their opening round matches.

Either could be Hensley’s semifinal opponent, should Hensley make it to the semifinals.

120 class Eighth-ranked Bedford/ Lenox junior Dusten Reed (44-5) opens against Hinton junior Cole Mills (44-3).

The second round opponent for Reed, win or lose, would either be fourthranked Sheldon Ealy (32-6) of English Valleys or Jesup junior Colton Dietrick (388).

Also in Reed’s half of the bracket is third-ranked Riley Klein (46-4) of Underwood and top-ranked Fort Dodge St. Edmond senior Kaden McClintock (24-1).

Klein or McClintock could be a semifinal opponent for Reed.

138 class

Mount Ayr senior Erik Freed, ranked eighth in the state at 138 pounds with his 50-4 record, opens the tournament against Northwood Kensett junior Coleby Bratrud (35-5).

Freed’s second-round opponent will either be fourthranked Conner Shulista (365) of Alburnett or Westwood, Sloan freshman Drew Anderson (42-6).

Top-ranked Jeren Glosser (45-1) of Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont would be a potential semifinal opponent for Freed, as would seventhranked Wilton junior Zach Keppy (35-8).

145 class Unranked Bedford/Lenox sophomore Hunter Russel faces a tough test in his opening round match at 145 pounds with Eddyville-BlakesburgFremont junior Blake Marolf (34-2), ranked third.

Awaiting Russel in the second round would be either Woodbury Central junior Luke Klingensmith (41-13) or Wapsie Valley senior Ethan Kleitsch (29-8).

IOWA FALLS — The Southwestern men’s basketball team was running on empty, it seemed, in a 79-61 loss to Ellsworth Community College here on Saturday.

The Spartans fell behind 8-3 early in the game and never really recovered, head coach Mike Holmes said.

“A couple times they got lost in transition, didn’t get identified very well,” he said. “We did not block out well throughout the evening.

We were lethargic defensively. We were also pretty sloppy with the ball.

Weren’t real crisp.”

Still, the Spartans hung around for a while.

“They were doing some different stuff — halfcourt trap, 1-3-1,” Holmes said.

“When we did handle the ball, we got some good looks. That kind of kept us in the game.”

Southwestern trailed 37-24 at halftime and tried to make a run in the second half, but fatigue and foul trouble derailed the Spartans.

Spartans drop two road games

BEATRICE, Neb. — The Southwestern women fell 6139 at Southeast (Neb.) Community College Monday night, two nights after losing 71-51 in conference play at Ellsworth.

Going into Wednesday’s 5:30 p.m. cancer Pink Out game against Iowa Central, the Spartans are 5-20 overall and 2-10 in ICCAC Division II. The Spartans are just a half game in front of 2-11 Iowa Lakes for the eighth and final spot for the regional tournament. Iowa Central presents a challenge Wednesday as the Tritons are ranked No. 13 in the nation at 21-4 overall, and in second place in the conference at 9-3 behind topranked North Iowa Area.

“Iowa Central is a good offensive team and they can hit their threes,” SWCC coach Addae Houston said.

“They’re a quick team, a pretty tough matchup for us.

Hopefully with the crowd there for the Pink Out game we can come out and play our best.”

The Spartans had problems early Monday night in falling behind 38-14. Southwestern actually outscored Southeast 25-23 after halftime.

“They came out and played us differently than in the past, a 1-3-1 zone rather than their usual man-toman,” Houston said. “That threw us off for awhile. We were missing the moment when our players were open for shots. We had 16 first-half turnovers. We played much better in the second half.”

Darian Polson led Southwestern with 12 points and five rebounds Monday. Peyton Russell tallied 11 points and was 2-of-3 on 3-pointers.

It was an opposite situation Saturday at Ellsworth, as Southwestern trailed only 27-21 at halftime before giving up 44 points in the second half of a 71-51 loss.

Area boys basketball Lenox 62, Red Oak 59 RED OAK — After Red Oak caught fire from behind the 3-point arc in the first quarter, Lenox slowly but steadily chipped away at the lead in a 62-59 win over Red Oak here on Friday.

Red Oak knocked down seven 3-pointers in the first quarter and led Lenox 36-15 with 4:00 to go in the first half.

But, Lenox outscored Red Oak 13-4 over the final four minutes of the half, cutting the lead to 40-28 at halftime.

Lenox still trailed 57-51 midway through the fourth quarter, but finally took the lead with 1:00 to go at 60-59 and a pair of free throws in the final minute gave Lenox the 62-59 win.

Caleb Lange had a big game for Lenox with 37 points and six rebounds.

Spencer B r o w n recorded a double- Lange double with 14 points and 13 boards. Todd Stoaks finished with nine points and seven rebounds.

Dawson Tullberg scored one point and dished out four assists, while Dustin Gordon finished with one point, five assists and three rebounds.

O-M 53, East Union 50 ORIENT — OrientMacksburg survived for a 53-50 win over East Union in Thad Tussey’s first game as an opposing coach against the Bulldogs here on Friday.

After taking a 31-26 lead into the fourth quarter, Orient-Macksburg saw that

lead slip away as East Union outscored the Bulldogs 14-9 in the fourth quarter to force overtime.

But the Bulldogs outscored East Union 13-10 in the overtime period for the 53-50 win.

“Too many self-inflicted mistakes,” Tussey said.

“Poor execution on both ends, missed easy shots, missed free throws, silly tunovers and giving up offensive rebounds do not lead to wins.”

Cole Campbell and Trevor Barnett both scored 14 points for East Union, while Dustin Hoyt added 10.

Sean Schmitz chipped in six points, while Gabe Nixon scored four and Mason Gossman added two.

Dylan Nichols led OrientMacksburg with 17 points, w h i l e Chantz Davidson scored 15.
