Father figure farewell

Former students remember longtime Creston principal for calm leadership ■

Ice storm: Ice covers the branches of a bush on West Adams Street in Creston this morning after an ice storm moved

through the area Sunday night and this morning. Creston received approximately .4 inches of precipitation during the ice storm that had much of the area in an ice-storm advisory.

Inauguration in sight, Trump continues Twitter assault NEW YORK (AP) — His inauguration days away, President-elect Donald Trump is continuing to lash out at critics in the intelligence community and Democrats in Congress who are vowing to skip his swearing-in ceremony.

The tough-talking Republican q u e s tioned whether the CIA director himself was “the l e a k e r Trump of fake news” in a Sunday night tweet.

The extraordinary criticism from the incoming

president came hours after CIA chief John Brennan charged that Trump lacks a full understanding of the threat Moscow poses to the United States, delivering a public lecture to the president-elect that further highlighted the bitter state of Trump’s relations with American intelligence agencies.

“Now that he’s going to have an opportunity to do something for our national security as opposed to talking and tweeting, he’s going to have tremendous responsibility to make sure that U.S. and national security interests are protected,” Brennan said on “Fox News Sunday,” warning that the president-elect’s impulsivi-

ty could be dangerous.

Trump shot back in a Twitter post Sunday, saying: “Oh really, couldn’t do much worse - just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good!

Was this the leaker of Fake News?”

The president-elect remained behind closed doors in his Manhattan high rise for the weekend as his team worked to answer questions about his plans at home and abroad once he’s sworn into office on Friday.

Among Trump’s immediate challenges: the United States’ complicated relationship with Russia, crafting an affordable health care alternative that doesn’t

strip coverage from millions of Americans and dealing with an assertion by Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights icon, that his election was not legitimate.

Without providing details, Trump promised his plan to replace the nation’s health care law would provide universal coverage, according to a Washington Post interview published late Sunday.

“We’re going to have insurance for everybody,” he said. “There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.”

In a separate interview TRUMP | 2A

This week, Creston pays respect to the longtime father figure of its high school.

For nearly a quarter century, Ron Levine served the district as a high school assistant principal and principal.

Levine died Wednesday at the age of 89, but his legacy as a school and community leader lives on.

Visitation is 2 to 7 Levine p.m. today at Powers Funeral Home, with family receiving friends from 5 to 7 p.m. Celebration of life services will be 10:30 a.m.

Tuesday at Salem Lutheran Church in Creston.

A long list of former students during Levine’s regime became education professionals, including three local school administrators.

In interviews with the News Advertiser, they remembered his calm leadership style and genuine interest in Creston students, often long after they graduated.

Callie Rieck-Anderson is principal for pre-kindergarten through second grade and a 1991 graduate of Creston High School. Scott Driskell, a 1990 graduate, is principal for grades 3-5. Brad Baker graduated in 1985 and is middle school principal for grades 6-8.

Levine moved to Creston as assistant principal and athletic director in 1968 and retired as high school principal in 1992, a position he assumed in 1975. At that time, the late Curt Olson arrived as assistant principal and for a generation of students in Creston, they were associated with each other as an effective leadership team.

Both were inducted into the Creston High School Hall of Fame.

“I always associate he and Oly together, kind of like good cop, bad cop,” Rieck-Anderson said. “Oly brought the boom. I try to be like Ron, who would exhibit patience in the most challenging times. But in some situations I have to channel my inner Oly.”

Driskell said Levine and Olson supervised the school in their own unique ways.

And, Levine also had a different approach than iconic local principal Russell Hobbs, a strong, stern pres-

ence at Creston Junior High.

“Mr. Olson was the loud, boisterous one, and Mr. Levine was the calm, cool and collected one,” Driskell said. “They both had the same message, just different ways of doing it. Basically, they were saying that somebody is always watching and you need to do the right thing. As an administrator, I just admired how he carried himself. He was passionate not only about athletics, but the other activities in the school, too. He was always professional looking and always seemed to be around when something was going on at school.”

Baker likened Levine to a father figure at school, someone you didn’t want to disappoint. One time he failed in that regard.

“I got in trouble in my senior year and Mr. Olson brought me in and handed out the discipline,” Baker said. “It was the end of my senior year, National Honor Society (nomination) time and all that. I remember Mr. Levine talking to me like a father, telling me that my timing was bad. But he was always very professional and you respected him. You hated to disappoint him.”

Baker said it meant a lot to him later in life — once when he was a principal at East Union and later when L e v i n e Baker asked him to speak at a Creston Kiwanis function — when Levine told him he was proud of what he was doing in education and in serving the Creston school district as a leader.

“It was really special to hear Mr. Levine say something like that to you,” Baker said.

“I TRY to be like Ron, who would exhibit patience in the most challenging times.”

26, 1945. Jeannie graduated from Diagonal High School in 1964 and attended the American Institute of Business in Des Moines. She worked at Greater Community Hospital in Creston, National Farmers Organization in Corning, Recording and Statistical in Des Moines and then 36 years for the state of Iowa in data processing for the Department of Human Services at the Hoover Building in Des Moines.

On May 19, 1968, Jeannie married Luther “Lou” John Haight. They have resided at their home in Urbandale since November 1974.

EU nations react with surprise, defiance to Trump remarks BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union nations reacted with surprise and defiance Monday to Donald Trump’s comments that he believed NATO was “obsolete” and that more member states would leave the 28-nation EU. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the U.S. president-elect’s view on NATO and criticism that allied members weren’t paying their fair share has “caused astonishment.”

At a meeting of EU foreign ministers, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said the best response to such an interview was simple — a united Europe.

In Berlin, Chancellor Angela Merkel said that even though Trump’s positions had been well known “I think we Europeans have our fate in our own hands.”

“I’m personally going to wait until the American president takes office, and then we will naturally work with him on all levels,” she told reporters.

Some EU officials fear Trump’s frequent, often acerbic Twitter postings might be the prelude to a caustic presidency after Friday’s inauguration.

“We are going to move away from, I guess, a kind of Twitter diplomacy, and then into a reality,” said Danish Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen, adding that reality could be “perhaps more difficult than what is going on on Twitter.”

Although Trump had made similar statements about NATO during his election campaign, his recent comments still came as a bit of a surprise since his choice for defense secretary, retired Marine Gen. James Mattis, stressed his support for the NATO military alliance in his U.S. congressional confirmation hearing last week.

“WE ARE going to move away from, I guess, a kind of Twitter diplomacy, and then into a reality.”

with German daily Bild and The Times of London, contradict Mattis, Steinmeier said.

There has even been fears the U.S. military commitment to Europe would wane under Trump.

A German newspaper group reports that Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite has urged Trump to continue meeting the U.S.’s financial obligations toward the alliance.

“Since World War II, the presence of U.S. troops has been a prerequisite for rebuilding the continent, safeguarding peace and ensuring security,” she told the RND network of some 30 German papers.

“We expect continuity from the new U.S. administration. Trump must maintain this leadership role, to ensure security, stability and peace,” she was quoted as saying.

Trump indicated he was indifferent to whether the EU stays together or not, a sharp break from the Obama administration, which encouraged British people to vote to remain in the EU in the June referendum.

“I believe others will leave ... I do think keeping it together is not gonna be as easy as a lot of people think,” Trump said in the interview.

The British exit from the EU would “end up being a great thing,” he said.

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said it’s “very good news that

Driskell was the starting pitcher for Creston in a state championship baseball g a m e against S p e n c e r Driskell in 1990.

Levine was a huge baseball fan, having coached the sport in several schools, including many years in Creston with Ron “Fox” Clinton. The players received some extra incentive from Olson before the game.

“We were warming up for the state championship game and Mr. Olson came over,” Driskell said. “He said, ‘You know, Mr. Levine

with the Times of London, Trump indicated that he could lift sanctions imposed on Russia for its military intervention in Ukraine in exchange for a nuclear arms deal. The suggestion met a frosty reception in Moscow.

Meanwhile, a growing number of Democrats in Congress have vowed to skip Trump’s inauguration.

“We cannot normalize Donald Trump, and we certainly cannot turn our heads and ignore such a threat to the institutions and values of our democracy,” Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York said Monday in a statement.

Trump’s lieutenants pushed back hard, particularly against Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a civil rights legend who said Russian interference in Trump’s election delegitimizes his presidency.

“I think it’s incredibly disappointing and I think it’s irresponsible for people like himself to question the legitimacy of the next United States president,” incoming White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said of Lewis on ABC’s “This Week,” insisting that Republicans did not question

Lifelong interest Yet, he remained a servant to the community in many ways, holding leadership roles in Kiwanis Club and volunteering at Greater Regional Medical Center and for Meals on Wheels.

As much as he could, Levine kept himself updated on former students and their accomplishments.

“After we won the state championship in 2014, I got a handwritten letter from Ron congratulating me Belger and the the legitimacy of President Barack Obama’s victory eight years ago. Vice President-elect Mike Pence said on “Fox News Sunday” that he hopes Lewis will change his mind and attend.

Priebus later acknowledged that conservatives — led by Trump himself — spent years questioning Obama’s eligibility to serve as president, suggesting he was not born in the United States.

Trump has done little to encourage unity in recent days, instead inflaming tensions with his critics through a series of tweets. The incoming president tweeted Saturday that Lewis should pay more attention to his “crime ridden” Atlanta-area district, adding that the civil rights leader was “all talk.”

Questions about Trump’s relationship with Russia have dominated the days leading up to his inauguration.

Michael Flynn, who is set to become Trump’s national security adviser, has been in frequent contact with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. in recent weeks, including on the day the Obama administration hit Moscow with sanctions in retaliation for the alleged election hacking, a senior

February trial set for 3rd kidnapping defendant OTTUMWA (AP) — A February trial has been scheduled for the last of three people accused of kidnapping an Ottumwa woman.

Court records say Joel Herrarte Jr. has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and other charges. His trial is set to begin Feb. 14.

Constance Griffiths pleaded guilty last week and was given 10 years in prison. Jacob Rauscher also has been sentenced to 10 years.

Authorities say the three kidnapped the woman in late February and held her captive for several days.

team,” said Scott Belger, a CHS classmate of Driskell’s who coached Southeast Polk to consecutive state baseball championships. “To me that emphasized how much he cares about people from Creston.”

Belger recently completed his master’s degree in school administration from Drake University and is serving as interim assistant principal at Southeast Polk High School. Levine was a role model.

“I watched him and thought, that’s how I want to lead,” Belger said. “He got to know the students and was connected in what was going on at school.

That’s not always easy for a principal.”

Tracy Hook was a 1977 CHS graduate. He said he’s proud that both he and daughter Summer had Levine as a high school principal. Hook is now superintendent of the Colfax-Mingo School District.

“He was a good role model in that he was always very positive toward kids,” Hook said. “He was calm and cool all the time, and he was always visible around the school. When I’d see him, he always kept track of what I was doing and showed an interest. He was just a good guy.”

Known as a storyteller,

bridging consecutive tales with his trademark phrase — “so on and so forth” — Levine loved a good conversation.

Baker is a veteran official in basketball and football, and served as a baseball umpire with Levine on occasion. Those were memorable nights, he said.

“Ron was all business and he loved being behind the plate,” Baker said.

“He just loved the game so much. When you got in the car it was baseball talk all the way up and baseball all the way home.”

Driskell credits Levine and Olson for his interest in education administration.

“When I was at Earlham and working on my master’s, I saw him in Creston one weekend and he had one piece of advice,” Driskell said. “He said don’t get into it (administration) before you’re 40. I think because of the stress and the hours, and he knew what it took. He said I’d have plenty of time. I was 39 when I started here, so I was close.

“You always wanted to do something that would make him proud, like a father figure,” Driskell added. “You admired and looked up to him. He just had a unique way of handling himself.”

U.S. official said.

After initially denying the contact took place, Trump’s team publicly acknowledged the conversations on Sunday.

“The conversations that took place at that time were not in any way related to the new U.S. sanctions against Russia or the expulsion of diplomats,” said Pence.

Repeated contacts just as Obama imposed sanctions would raise questions about whether Trump’s team discussed — or even helped shape — Russia’s response.

Russian President Vladimir Putin unexpectedly did not

retaliate against the U.S. for the sanctions or the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats, a decision Trump quickly praised.

Trump has repeatedly called for a better relationship between the U.S. and Putin’s government. He suggested in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Friday that he’d consider easing the latest sanctions on Russia.

“I think he has to be mindful that he does not have a full appreciation and understanding of what the implications are of going down that road,” Brennan said.

Levine suffered more than his share of disappointment, outliving four of his six children and his wife, Jo. He was loyal in caring for Jo when her health was failing, cutting back some of his activities such as scorekeeping at high school basketball games.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Frustration is in the bag

HOROSCOPE For Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today the Moon is 180 degrees opposite your sign, which means you have to cooperate with others. This is not a big deal. It just requires a little patience and tolerance.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today you want to be efficient in everything. This is why you might be impatient with others if they get in your way. Be careful that your impatience doesn’t create more problems!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)This is a playful day. You are in touch with your creative vibes. Enjoy sports events, social outings and fun activities with children.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)A conversation with a female family member might be significant today. In any event, you will want to cocoon at home, if possible.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Short trips, conversations with others and a busy to-do list will keep you on the go today. It’s a strong day for writers and people in sales, marketing, teaching and acting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Avoid disputes about money and cash flow today, because they might arise. Nevertheless, your focus is on financial matters, shopping and earning money.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which gives you a slight advantage over all the other signs. Use this if you can; it happens for two days every month.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might prefer to work alone or behind the scenes today, even though this is a busy time for you.

This is an ideal day to catch your breath and get some perspective.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A conversation with a female acquaintance could be important today. Why not share your future goals with this person to get her feedback?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Personal details about your private life might become public today, because the Moon is high in your chart. Just go with the flow - you can handle this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today you want to do something different to break up your routine.

That’s because you want a little adventure and a chance to learn something new. Good luck!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance issues

might be your focus today. Wrap up loose details in these areas, if you can.

YOU BORN TODAY You always appear confident to others. You are hard-working and ambitious. You also are charming and charismatic. Although you respect tradition, you will work for social reform.

This year is the start of a new nine-

year cycle for you. It will open up many possibilities! You might start a new business activity or change residence. Open any door, because the future is in your hands.

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF comes from a reader whose frustrations center around the bags inside breakfast-cereal boxes.

Jim S. in Houston wrote: “One of my pet peeves is the difficulty in opening plastic bags inside boxed items such as cereal. One would think that in this technological age, someone would have figured out how to make easy-to-open bags. Do you have any solution other than scissors?”

Jim, the best solution I have is scissors, because it’s only sometimes that “the powers that be” are on your side and these bags can be easily opened. Since that’s a rarity, your best bet is a pair of scissors. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some things you can consider making when you have skeins of leftover yarn: * Crochet simple scarves or mittens and give to homeless shelters.

* Knit baby caps and give to hospitals for NICU (neonatal intensive-care unit) babies. * Knit or crochet large squares or rectangles and send to animal shelters for bedding or covering. * Make articles of clothing and place in donation boxes/ stations. * Search the web for free patterns for one-skein projects.

– Heloise GOOD USES FOR EXTRA SKEINS Dear Readers: I just gave you some hints for using up those extra skeins of yarn, which are listed in the Fast Facts. A reader wrote in about what she does with her skeins, and since it supports the column so well, I thought I’d share it with my readers.

– Heloise “I crochet small projects and have leftover yarn. My winter project is combining the leftover skeins and making 50-by-6-inch scarves with multicolored tassels on each end and donating them to a local food pantry.

“I use simple crochet stitches, such as single and double. It keeps me busy, and someone can always use a warm scarf. A word of caution: Don’t make them with

scratchy-fiber-type yarn.” – C. Duffy in Alabama FOLLOW-UP ON BINDER CLIPS Dear Readers: I’ve seen a few letters cross my desk with other ways to use binder clips. The ones below are hints I’d not considered but were great hints nonetheless.

– Heloise Mary H. in Arlington, Va., wrote: “When the ‘stand’ on my digital egg timer broke, I used a medium-size binder clip to replace it. Worked perfectly.”

Emily S. in Borger, Texas, wrote: “I read your column in the Amarillo (Texas) Globe-News each day and just finished reading your hints for binder clips. I am a quilter and use them to hold the quilt top, batting and backing taut so that I can start pinning everything together before quilting.”

Alice A. in San Antonio wrote: “I make and quilt baby quilts and pads. Instead of pinning the quilt pieces together for sewing, I roll them together and place about five large, black clips on the roll.

It holds the pieces in place and allows me to free-motion quilt with ease.” (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

CRESTON/O-M WRESTLING

Four Panthers victorious Saturday Team claims title at Centerville

■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

CENTERVILLE — Creston/Orient-Macksburg crowned four champions leading to a strong showing at the Centerville Big Red Tournament Saturday.

The Panther wrestlers picked up wins from Jacob Goodson (113), Trevor Marlin (138), Chase Shiltz (182) and Kadon Hulett (220) in winning the tournament.

“We had some good

matches as a whole,” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Darrell Frain.

S h i l t z Shiltz won the tournament for the fourth straight year. He was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler of the 14-team tournament.

Both Shiltz and Hulett won all of their matches by pin.

“Chase and Kadon dominated all the way through,” Frain said.

Marlin won a pair of exciting matches to claim the title at 138.

Goodson handily won all of his matches at 113.

“Jacob Goodson controlled Hulett everything,” Frain said.

Goodson, Marlin, Shiltz and Hulett looked sharp all day.

“All four champions wrestled well,” Frain said.

“That’s what we need.”

Jackson Mikkelsen was third at 195.

“Jackson Mikkelsen’s bracket was loaded,” Frain said.

Cody Tanner was fourth at 285 after a close loss in

the semifinal.

Tanner was finally back on the mat after an extended absence.

All 14 wrestlers scored points.

“We wrestled well as a whole,” Frain said. “Everybody scored points. That’s the best part.”

Creston/Orient-Macksburg won with 248.5 points.

Iowa City High was second with 217 points.

“Iowa City High was right there with us, so that was a good win for us,” Frain said.

Three Missouri schools that were scheduled to come — Kirksville, St. Joseph Benton and Lee’s Summit West — could not come up because of inclement winter weather in Missouri.

UP NEXT — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg is on the mat Thursday at Shenandoah, with Denison-Schleswig in Hawkeye 10 Conference dual meet action.

SOUTHWESTERN MEN’S BASKETBALL

Strong conference start for SWCC Spartans remain perfect, move to 17-0

■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

For the second time in a week, a Southwestern team has defeated a defending national champion.

The Southwestern Community College men’s basketball team opened ICCAC play by fending off a feisty effort from visiting foe Kirkwood, 94-83.

Kirkwood, the defending NJCAA D-II national champs, came into the game ranked No. 14 in D-II. Previously on Wednesday, the women’s basketball team defeated Kansas City Community College, the defending Division II national champs, 63-61.

SOUTHWESTERN WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

No. 1 Kirkwood soars past Spartans

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

For almost two quarters, the Southwestern Community College women’s basketball team played like a team coming off a road win over a nationally-ranked team.

It didn’t last the full four quarters in a 103-69 loss to NJCAA Division II topranked Kirkwood Community College.

The Eagles set the tone for their conference season while the Spartans struggled to keep up with Kirkwood’s athleticism and skill in the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference opener for both teams.

Julanie Carter scored 17 first-half points and seemed

destined to carry the Spartans to a fight with its their visiting foe, but in the second half Kirkwood displayed why it is ranked best in Division II. The two teams traded punches in the first quarter as Carter scored nine points and Southwestern trailed 27-22 after one.

Kirkwood’s Deleyah Harris found her sweet spot on the floor against the Spartan zone. The left corner 3-ball proved lethal to Southwestern. Harris hit three treys from the left corner in the first quarter, and five in the first half on her way to 19 first-half points.

What was a 31-27 game turned sharply in the Eagles’ favor with a 12-0 run early in the second quarter.

The 49-35 halftime lead

did not indicate how closely the two competed for most of the first 20 minutes.

The second half was less friendly to the hosts.

The Eagles outscored SWCC 54-34 in the second half. Kirkwood roared out of the locker room, outscoring Southwestern 25-11 to start the quarter as Southwestern faded.

But Southwestern coach Todd Lorensen was more impressed with another facet of his game.

“The biggest thing I think he brings our team at times is his ability to guard the ball defensively,” Lorensen.

KeShawn Wilson kicked his game into gear late in the game with several clutch buckets. Calvin Chambers

scored 13 points with strong play in the game’s first 20 minutes.

“All of our guards are capable of having a big night,” Lorensen said. “It just depends who has a mismatch or who maybe has a shot falling more on a given evening.”

Southwestern had a 15-point lead at the half and a double-digit advantage for early portions of the second half, but the visiting Eagles caught up.

Eagles catch up Byron Harp and Miles Wentzien combined for 24 points in the second half and both made big buckets

to assist in bringing the Eagles back. Chris King hit a 3-pointer and a layup that closed the gap and after another bucket, Lorensen was forced to call a timeout with 9:30 to go, up 65-62.

A Johnson step-back jumper and a Wilson stepback 3-ball put Southwestern back on top by seven, 71-64.

The Eagles closed the gap to three again when Chris King knocked down two free throws.

Wilson responded again with a long jumper.

Harp answered with a 3-pointer and Kirkwood trailed 73-71.

Having had enough of Kirkwood’s responses, Johnson hit a cold-blooded 3-pointer with the shot clock expiring to push the lead to five and Wilson’s triple right in front of the Southwestern bench gave the Spartans a 78-71 lead and the breathing room they needed.

“I just seen that the game was close and I knew we had a target on us and we had to go after them and just try to remain undefeated. Let everyone know we’re number one in the conference,” Wilson said.

Johnson knocked down 7-8 free throws in the final minute to clinch the first conference victory.

1st half offensive success Early on in the contest, it was Brodric Thomas who got the Spartans going offensively. Thomas netted nine of Southwestern’s first 16 points. His thunderous alley-oop slam gave the Spartans a 16-15 lead in what was an offensive footrace from the beginning.

“We just came out with

the same game plan we come out with every night it’s just to come straight from the jump and have energy,” Thomas said.

Two more Thomas buckets gave the Spartans a 2824 lead minutes later, and Southwestern carried that momentum to its 15-point halftime lead, which was also largely fueled by the energetic play of Chambers.

“One-through-14 can come in at any moment and be the spark plug,” Thomas said. “That’s what’s great about our team is if two people aren’t having his best night we’ll have four other guys that come off the bench that do just as well as the starting five.”

Kirkwood jumped between man and zone defenses as it tried to slow Southwestern’s athletic lineup.

“It slowed us down for a little bit but once we get that ball moving it doesn’t matter what defense we’re going against, we can score on anybody,” Southwestern assistant coach Scott Davis said.

The Spartans virtually matched their season output, as the Spartans are averaging just over 94 points per contest (94.6), good for eighth in Division II. UP NEXT — Southwestern (17-0, 1-0) has a home date with Pure Prep Academy Wednesday at 7 p.m.

DIAGONAL — Like a typical Friday night basketball game in Diagonal, every square inch of parking space around the school building and gym was occupied for a good few blocks.

On Homecoming night, the Maroonettes came from behind against a five-girl Mormon Trail squad to prevail 47-42 in overtime.

Late drama Late in the fourth, Emily Newton, whose 22 points led all scorers, shot-faked and tossed in a layup to put Diagonal up 37-36 with 41 seconds remaining in regulation. “Emily knows that she needs to perform in order for us to win the game,� Diagonal coach Gina Gunsolley said. “If she doesn’t play well then we struggle. We are dependent on her and Katie (Sobotka) to get us going and then everybody else’s game develops out of that.�

After the Saints’ Payton Gwinn hit one of two free throws, the Maroonettes several had a couple of opportunities but missed two shots to send the game into overtime.

In the extra period, the foul situation finally caught up to Mormon Trail. Katelyn Dent picked up her fifth foul with the game tied 3939.

Following a made Newton free throw that put the Maroonettes’ up one, Mormon Trail’s four-player offense came up with a bucket on a jumper by Gwinn.

Diagonal’s Cassidy Lohmann proceeded to get fouled and knocked down two free throws. On the ensuing Saints’ possession, Lohmann drew a charge that lit up the gym. “She’s known for her taking charges,� Gunsolley said. “She’s not afraid to step in there. We actually give stickers for that. She gets a gold star for that and she likes tallying them up.

She’s probably got seven or eight on the season already if not more.'

Lohmann was fouled again and once again, stepped to the line and hit two freebies, which put Diagonal up 44-41.

Mormon Trail’s Kaylee Palmer knocked down a free throw to make the visi-

tor’s deficit two, but the Maroonettes picked up a free throw from Newton, a defensive stop, and two more free throws from Newton to seal away the game.

Just getting there was a task in itself. The Saints’ five players were on the same page for much of the night, hitting the open player against the press and in their half-court offense, often for easy off-the-glass layups. “I didn’t feel like we did a good job of communicating defensively,� Gunsolley said. “But luckily we got to the free throw line and then they go themselves in foul trouble where we could capitalize on it.�

The Maroonettes allowed the Saints just three points in the second quarter but trouble came early in the third.

Turning point Diagonal gave up the first six points of the half without a score itself, and Gunsolley subbed off everyone. “I chewed on their butt that we just won against Grand View, one of their goals of this season was to beat Murray, and they weren’t performing the way they should be,� Gunsolley said. “We were afraid and backing away from Mormon Trail’s pressure instead of having Mormon Trail fear us for what we have accomplished this year. I chewed on them hard for they need to live up to their expectations.�

(The coverage of the boys game can be found on the CNA website, www.crestonnews.com.)

Saints exchanged blows for the rest of the third and Diagonal took the message to heart with a fast start in the fourth thanks to buckets

by Lohmann and Cassidy Becker and claimed its first lead of the game when Katie Sobotoka hit a jumper from the top of the key with just over two minutes left in regulation. The two battled until the final sequences that led to overtime.

Lohmann and Sobotka finished with eight points each.
