Panther band takes sixth during morning at ValleyFest

Creston Schools raised more than $4,200 during last year’s Box Tops contest. Here’s where that money goes.

■

They’re on your boxes of Lucky Charms and Cocoa Puffs. They’re on your Green Giant vegetable cans. There’s even one on your box of Kleenex.

They’re called Box Tops for Education, and one by one, these collectable bits of cardboard and plastic are helping fund education at area schools.

The Box Tops label can be found on hundreds of grocery, kitchen and office items sold by participating companies (see sidebar).

Clipping a Box Top from a product and donating it to a participating school allows that school to redeem it for 10 cents. Schools receive checks two to three times during the year and can use the money as they choose.

And those dimes accumulate quickly. Last year, Creston Community Schools raised $4,283.80 through the program.

During a two-week fall fundraiser this year, it raised another $700.

Scott Driskell, Creston third- through fifth-grade principal, said the elementary uses Box Tops money to offset field trip expenses, purchase recess equipment and other things that sometimes might not be built into the budget.

However, unlike other money-raising strategies, Driskell said Box Tops drives don’t pressure businesses, parents and community members to donate to yet another fundraiser.

“This fundraiser isn’t hitting up businesses ... or hitting up parents,” he said.

“It’s just getting them to pay attention to what’s in

This was one of many challenges the principals completed to reward the elementary students for the number of Box Tops for Education they had donated.

their cabinets.”

In recent years, teachers have used Box Tops money to purchase books for family literacy nights, fund a fourth-grade trip to the Science Center of Iowa and more. The funds from this fall’s contest will purchase student rewards for the school’s Positive Behavior in Schools behavior reinforcement program.

Last year’s total nearly doubled what Creston has averaged in years past, said Becky Baker, who’s been Creston’s Box Tops coordinator since 2004. Baker attributes this to the PTO’s organization of a contest among the classrooms.

“It’s amazing what competition can do,” Baker said.

Erin Kiley, Creston PTO secretary, organizes the Box Tops contests. Last year, she said, winning classrooms got to spraypaint the hair and spray silly string on Driskell and elementary principal Callie Anderson.

After the students met the $1,500 spring goal, the final challenge was to kiss

PARTICIPATING BRANDS a goat. For this year’s $700 fall fundraiser, the two principals will race find a piece of gum inside a pie without using their hands, then blow a bubble.

“This always excites the kids to see the principals get directly involved,” Kiley said.

Although she hasn’t made official plans yet, Kiley anticipates another contest beginning in February.

Driskell said the PTO plays a valuable role in helping the school raise these funds, through Box Tops and other ways.

“It’s incredible to me the energy, the ideas and the amount of money they’ve been able to help raise,” Driskell said. “Without them, we’d be lost when it comes to those extra funds, and I know every one of our teachers feel that way.”

To donate Box Tops to Creston Schools at any time, send them to Panther

You can also drop them off in designated boxes at the early childhood or elementary school foyers or send them with a student.

If you live outside Creston and want to contribute to your area school, mail them to the office of your school of choice, drop them off or send them with a child.

At its final weekend stop before traveling to state contest, the Creaton Panther Marching Band took sixth and ninth Saturday in the morning and evening competitions at ValleyFest in West Des Moines.

Director Mike Peters was pleased with the band’s morning performance, as it placed only .6 points behind the fifth-place team. There were 10 class 3A bands scheduled for the morning competition.

“We did really well,” Peters said. “It was a great show for the kids.”

Peters said the event is always good preparation for the band because of the caliber of the competition and judging.

“It gives my kids a chance to see some of the best bands in the Midwest all in one show,” Peters said.

The Panther Marching Band will perform 3:05 p.m.

Saturday in Glenwood, vying for its 27th consecutive Division I rating at state.

“I am very excited for the kids to get there and really perform,” Peters said.

Richardson is preparing for retirement in the coming months.

“I am pleased to have the opportunity to work with Larry the next few months,” Kerber said. “His experience and dedication are significant and he has established a strong pharmacy presence at the medical center.”

She is originally from Charles City. Kerber and her husband reside in Greenfield.

ValleyFest: The Creston Panther Marching Band performs its field show, “Imagination in Color,” during Saturday’s compe-

Democratic debate a chance for O’Malley, others DES MOINES (AP) — Stuck far behind Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, Martin O’Malley needs a breakout moment in the party’s first debate to catch up to the front-runners.

And he knows it.

“This will really be the first time that nationally voters see that there’s more than one alternative to this year’s inevitable front-runner, Secretary Clinton,” O’Malley said.

“It’s a very, very important opportunity for me to not only present my vision for where the country should head, but also 15 years of executive experience, actually accomplishing the progressive things some of the other candidates can only talk about,” he said.

The former governor of Maryland and mayor of Baltimore got into the race at the

The debate will air 7:30 tonight on CNN.

place in the race as a liberal firebrand promising political revolution.

“We have to draw contrasts,” O’Malley said. “I think we can do it in a respectful way.”

Expect Chafee, the former senator and governor from Rhode Island, to go after Clinton for her 2002 vote to authorize the war in Iraq.

Chafee, at the time a Republican, opposed the invasion and he’s said Clinton’s support for the war, which she has more recently called a “mistake,” is at the center of his decision to run.

Webb, a Vietnam veteran and former Virginia senator, has deep experience on military issues and foreign policy and has been critical of Clinton’s handling of the conflict in Libya. Last year he said the Obama administration’s unilateral decision to use military force in Libya was improper.

end of May, after telegraphing for some time his plans to seek the White House in 2016.

The entries of the two others who will be onstage Tuesday night in Las Vegas, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb and former Rhode Island Sen. Lincoln Chafee, were surprises to most.

But all three have one thing in common — an inability so far to generate any of the enthusiasm among voters that has pushed Sanders into and kept Clinton at the top of the field. All three poll in low single digits in early preference surveys, well below even Vice President Joe Biden, who has yet to say if he’ll make a late entry into the race.

O’Malley has been openly critical of the Democratic National Committee and the

decision to hold six primary debates, with four scheduled in early primary states before the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1.

He has mounted a push for the party to expand the number, even encouraging protests in front of Democratic Party headquarters.

The party hasn’t budged, but O’Malley is undaunted. He has campaigned aggressively in Iowa and New Hampshire, far more than Webb or Chafee. He is critical of Clinton for her recent shifts on policy issues, among them her opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, which he calls a “reversal.”

O’Malley also touts his executive experience in dealing with issues such as gun control, in which Sanders’ record matches more with his largely rural home state than his

OPINION The Pope’s visit

It’s been a few weeks now since Pope Francis visited the U.S. and the afterglow of his visit still lingers.

Catholics and non-Catholics alike were impressed by his kind demeanor, his obvious affection for people, and his willingness to address serious religious and societal issues. He didn’t win us over 100 percent, of course.

His call for addressing man-made climate change and eliminating the death penalty irritated many folks, and the presence at a gathering with the Pope of the county clerk who discriminates against same-sex couples disappointed many others.

Still, his visit was historic and I wish he could have stayed longer.

Having such a gentle person in our midst was a welcome contrast to the angry voices that flood our airways. One might assume it’s this long presidential campaign that

In other words June Bower

arouses so much discourse among us, but the fact is we Americans have been angry for a long time.

We’re angry about constant war in the Middle East, the collapse of our economy in 2008, the maiming of so many of our service men and women and the shoddy treatment many received since returning from the battle field. We’re angry that some American citizens have done extremely well over the past few years while most are just treading water to stay afloat.

We’re angry about the state of race relations in America and the never ending arguments about immigration. Some are mad at

the Wall Street millionaires, and some are mad at people who apply for food stamps. According to the “2-cents worth” column in the Des Moines Register, there are even people angry about those who lock their cars more than once causing the horn to honk for a second. Now there’s a serious issue for you.

The Pope’s visit did appear to calm us down a little, and we began to wonder, might it be possible for us to be more conciliatory even when we emphatically disagree?

Could members of Congress finally abandon their partisan ways for the good of the nation? Could the rest of us tone down our rancor towards fellow Americans who think differently about issues than we do?

Would it be possible that the conflict that has festered for decades — you know, the pro-choice vs. pro-life thing — could be ad-

dressed primarily as a difference of opinion of when life begins, rather than an issue of good versus evil?

Could we possibly become more like the Pope and respect those whose beliefs are different than our own?

Perhaps if there were more civility among Americans, we could disagree on various aspects of illegal immigration, but still get something done about it. If we committed to being nice to one another, we could differ on the morality of same-sex marriage, but would stop being so angry, judgmental and confrontational about it.

Psychologists will tell us that all this anger is not good for us.

It causes stress in our bodies that can result in high blood pressure and any number of other ailments.

It damages relationships among friends and relatives and caus-

es real conflict among different groups of people. Angry politicians and pundits add to the damage by creating a hostile environment that makes us feel there is nothing right with our world. There’s no doubt this constant exposure to bitter and divisive dialogue is having a negative effect on us all.

It wasn’t long after the Pope returned to Rome that our congressional leaders resumed their battles. It wasn’t long before one of our states carried out the death penalty the Pope so vehemently opposes. And it wasn’t long before America had another tragic mass shooting.

Still, the nation surely benefited from his visit and maybe — for a day or two anyway — he created some tranquility in our national psyche. I suspect it would be very good for us if he visited more often.

DAR sponsors annual American history essay contest

Once a person becomes a candidate for a political office, letters to the editor will no longer be accepted from that person (or person’s campaign) regarding that campaign or any other political campaign or candidate during the election.

The Creston News Advertiser reserves the right to edit letters to conform to style and length and to remove potentially libelous statements. Letters that are obviously mass produced or form letters will not be printed.

We like to hear from you!

From Bonnie Riepe Afton

The Nancy McKay Harsh Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is again sponsoring the DAR annual American history essay contest. This year’s topic for grades fifth through eighth is “A Colonial Family’s Reaction to the Stamp Act.” March 22, 2015, marked the 250th anniversary of the Stamp Act. Passed by the British Parliament in 1765, this new tax required all colonists to pay a tax on every printed piece of paper they used.

The Stamp Act was viewed by the colonists as “taxation without representation.” Describe a colonial family’s discussion about the new

Stamp Act and what role it played in organizing the colonists against the British King and Parliament.

The title for the grades ninth through twelfth contest is “Columbus and Lindbergh: A Journey Across the Atlantic.” Discuss the similarities and differences between Christopher Columbus’ voyage to the new world and Charles Lindbergh’s first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. What effect did the 400 years between their accomplishments have on what each man hoped to achieve, the challenges they faced and the skills essential to their success?

A $10 cash gift, a medal and a certificate will be awarded to the local winner in each of the fifth through eighth grade levels and also to the

winner of the Christopher Columbus essay contest. Winning entries will then be sent to the state society. State level winners will be chosen there and forwarded on to the district and national contest.

This is a good learning experience for students. It is open to all students in public and private schools and also to those who are home-schooled. The deadline for entries is Dec. 15. Entries should be sent to Bonnie Riepe at the address below. For more information and a copy of the rules, please contact Bonnie at 641-346-2566 or briepe@iowatelecom.net.

PEOPLE ‘Pan’ lacks magic at the box office; ‘The Martian’ soars LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Pan” produced no Neverland magic at the box office.

The fantasy, which cost an estimated $150 million to produce, earned $15.5 million in its opening weekend, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday making it one of the worst bombs of the year. Early tracking did not look promising for the Joe Wright-directed film but still predicted that “Pan” would open at least in the $20 million range.

The PG-rated epic, sold as a Peter Pan origin story and a lavish visual feast, has had a bumpy ride from the beginning, starting when actress Rooney Mara, who is white, was cast as Tiger Lily, who is historically Native American. The film, starring Hugh Jackman and Garrett Hedlund, also had been pushed from July to October. It has not been well-received by critics, either.

“Pan” now ranks among 2015’s biggest flops, including “Fantastic Four” and “Tomorrowland.” Interna-

tional earnings don’t look promising either. The film brought in a weak $20.5 million. For comparison, “The Martian” earned $58.1 million.

“This had a lot going against it,” said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst for Rentrak.

He also believes competition in the family market from the Halloween-themed animated feature “Hotel Transylvania 2” hurt “Pan.” “Family films always have an audience, but that audience is extremely fickle and hard to please, just like the kids who go to these movies,” Dergarabedian said. “You just never know what’s going to resonate.”

Sony’s high-wire spectacle “The Walk” also stumbled in its first weekend in wide release, after debuting on IMAX screens last week.

The tale of Philippe Petit’s tight-rope walk between the towers of the World Trade Center earned $3.7 million this weekend, bringing its total to $6.4 million. Joseph

Gordon-Levitt stars in film directed by Robert Zemeckis.

Not all was bleak at the box office, though. Ridley Scott’s space adventure “The Martian” earned a solid $37 million in its second week in theaters, nabbing the top spot once more. Its domestic total now stands at $108.7 million.

“Hotel Transylvania 2” took second place in its third weekend with $20.3 million, bumping its total to $116.8 million. “Pan” came in at No. 3.

Nancy Meyers’ workplace comedy “The Intern” earned $8.7 million, and

the border thriller “Sicario” brought in $7.4 million, rounding out the top five.

Outside the top 10, “Steve Jobs,” the biopic of the late Apple CEO directed by Danny Boyle and written

by Aaron Sorkin, opened in four theaters in New York and Los Angeles to a powerful $520,942. Its $130,000 per-theater average ranks as the best of the year and should bode well for the film’s expansion across the next two weeks.

“This is a movie everyone’s talking about, and now they’re going to be talking about it even more,” Dergarabedian said.

IRS warns consumers of possible scams relating to South Carolina flood victim relief WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Internal Revenue Service recently issued a consumer alert about possible fake charity scams emerging due to severe flooding this month in South Carolina and neighboring states.

“When making donations to assist flood victims in South Carolina and elsewhere, taxpayers should take steps to ensure their hard-earned money goes to legitimate and currently eligible charities,” said John Koskinen, IRS commissioner. “IRS.gov has the tools taxpayers need to check out the status of charitable organizations.”

Following major disasters, it is common for scam artists to impersonate charities to get money or private information from well-intentioned taxpayers.

Such fraudulent schemes may involve contact by telephone, social media, email or in-person solicitations.

The IRS cautions people wishing to make disaster-related charitable donations to avoid scam artists by following these tips: • To help disaster victims, donate to recognized charities.

• Be wary of charities with names that are similar to familiar or nationally known organizations. Some phony charities use names or websites that sound or look like those of respected, legitimate organizations.

The IRS website at IRS. gov has a search feature, Exempt Organizations Select Check, through which people may find legitimate, qualified charities; donations to these charities may be tax-deductible. Legitimate charities may also be found on the Federal Emer-

gency Management Agency (FEMA) website at fema. gov.

• Don’t give out personal financial information such as Social Security numbers or credit card and bank account numbers and passwords to anyone who solicits a contribution from you.

Scam artists may use this information to steal your identity and money.

• Don’t give or send cash.

For security and tax record purposes, contribute by check or credit card or another way that provides documentation of the gift.

• If you plan to make a contribution for which you would like to claim a deduction, see IRS Publication 526, Charitable Contributions, to read about the kinds of organizations that can receive deductible contributions.

Bogus websites may solicit funds for disaster victims. Such fraudulent sites frequently mimic the sites of, or use names similar to, legitimate charities, or claim to be affiliated with legitimate charities in order to persuade members of the public to send money or provide personal financial information that can be used to steal identities or financial resources.

Additionally, scammers often send email that steers the recipient to bogus websites that appear to be affiliated with legitimate charitable causes.

Taxpayers suspecting disaster-related frauds by email should visit IRS.gov and search for the keywords Report Phishing. More information about tax scams and schemes may be found at IRS.gov using the keywords scams and schemes.

Debate on TV: LCD or LED? Dear Heloise: Our children are going to buy us a LARGE-SCREEN TV, but I don’t know the difference between LCD and LED. Is there much? — Arnie K., Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Yes, there is, and you’ll love high-definition, or HD, televisions. Oh my, is the picture amazing. You will see every hair on a cat’s whiskers!

LCD, liquid-crystal display, uses fluorescent tubes to illuminate a nice, clear picture.

LED, light-emitting diode, replaces the fluorescent tubes with backlighting technology.

This image is even sharper!

The screen itself is very, very thin.

This type is different and usually hangs on a wall or sits on a special stand. — Heloise P.S.: LED costs a lot more than LCD, but they both provide stunning pictures.

DIRTY CLOTHES Dear Heloise: When my husband and I travel, I take two inexpensive, medium-size cloth or mesh dirty-clothes bags. One is colored, and the other is white. After the clothes are dirty, they are put in the appropriate bag. When we arrive home, they are sorted and ready for the laundry.

That is, if you have communicated with the carrier and he or she wants them. — G.R., via email Very nice thought, and do check with the carrier.

Home runs hit by the Cubs Monday, an MLB postseason record by one team in a single game.

National Digest

Bombs lift Cubs CHICAGO (AP) — On a rare off night for Jake Arrieta, the Chicago Cubs rookies bashed their way to the brink of the NL Championship Series — and into the record book.

Jorge Soler, Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber connected as the Cubs set a postseason mark with six home runs in beating the St. Louis Cardinals 8-6 Monday for a 2-1 lead in the NL Division Series. Arrieta struck out nine before departing in the sixth inning, and the bullpen finished the job in the first playoff game at Wrigley Field in seven years.

The Cubs held a share of the previous postseason homer record, hitting five in Game 1 of the 1984 NLCS against San Diego.

A third straight win for the Cubs on Tuesday afternoon, and the once woebegone franchise will advance to the NLCS for the first time in 12 years.

The Cardinals, who led the majors with 100 wins this season, have won at least one playoff series in each of the last four years.

Spurrier retires COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier has told his players that he is retiring, effective immediately.

The person says the 70-year-old coach informed players of his decision Monday night, said a person close to the situation. South Carolina has not named an interim coach but likely would announce someone to finish out the season by Wednesday, the person said.

The Gamecocks are 2-4 and 0-4 in the Southeastern Conference for the first time in Spurrier’s 23 seasons coaching in the league at Florida and South Carolina.

Sarkisian fired LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California fired Steve Sarkisian on Monday, one day after the troubled football coach was put on leave.

Athletic director Pat Haden made the move one day after determining Sarkisian showed up at school in no condition to lead practice, although Haden refused to reveal specifics about the coach’s condition.

Offensive coordinator Clay Helton was appointed interim coach Sunday.

USC hasn’t elaborated on Sarkisian’s problems, but the second-year coach had an embarrassing public display in August at a pep rally where he appeared to be intoxicated while giving a speech. Sarkisian later apologized and said he had combined alcohol and medication, but promised not to drink again during the season.

Sarkisian’s unsteady appearance Sunday prompted Haden to make the program’s fourth coaching change in just over two years.

Panther crowd includes overseas visitor

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

It wasn’t homecoming week at Creston High School, but a special visitor to Friday’s game against district rival Harlan made Panther quarterback Moritz Johannknecht feel a little more at home.

Peter Daletski, coach of the Paderborn Dolphins junior program, was at Panther Field to watch “Mojo” play quarterback for Creston/O-M. Johannknecht, 17, led Daletski’s team to a 19-and-under championship last season in the German Football League Division II and also coached him in 17-and-under competition.

“It’s pretty amazing to see him playing here,” Daletski said. “The competition level is definitely different.

MARYVILLE — Junior defensive tackle Collin Bevins of Creston had 3.5 tackles for losses and one sack in Northwest Missouri State’s 69-0 victory over Lindenwood Saturday at Bearcat Stadium.

“It was nice pitching a shutout,” Bevins said. “We saw some things we could really exploit. Once we decided what was working, we settled into a good groove for our defense.”

Bevins totaled three solo tackles and two assisted tackles as the Bearcats held the Lions to 78 total yards.

Northwest is now 6-0 and ranked No. 3 in the AFCA top 25.

Running back Jordan Grove of ADM had a 13yard touchdown run for the Bearcats.

Northwest travels to Pittsburg State Saturday before facing Fort Hays State in the homecoming game at 2 p.m. Oct. 24.

Iowa State enters brutal stretch vs TCU, Baylor

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — A somewhat promising start has given way to a troubling reality for Iowa State in Big 12 play.

If that sounds familiar to Cyclones fans, it should.

The Cyclones (2-3, 1-1 Big 12) beat lowly Kansas to start league play and then allowed Texas Tech to pile up a school-record 776 yards in a 66-31 win last weekend. It was a bad way to get ready for the two top teams in the Big 12: Iowa State hosts No. 3 TCU (6-0, 3-0) on Saturday before a road trip to No. 2 Baylor (5-0, 2-0).

It will take arguably the biggest win in school history just to earn a split over the next two weeks — and Iowa State would still be below .500 with five games to go.

“We didn’t need a wakeup call. But there’s a realization

16 or 17 can play both (divisions), and get twice the experience,” Daletiski said.

“Last year we went to Tex-

of what’s ahead,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. “If we don’t adjust to it, we’ll see more outcomes like we did” last week.

What was most troubling for the Cyclones was how their supposedly improved defense performed against Texas Tech.

Iowa State allowed just seven points against Northern Iowa in the opener and was solid in losses to Iowa and Toledo, both of whom are now ranked. Kansas managed just one offensive touchdown.

The Red Raiders, however, threw for 515 yards and six TDs without an interception. They also ran for 261 yards — on 8.4 yards per carry — and three more scores.

They converted all but four of their 15 third downs. And Texas Tech has already lost to TCU and Baylor.

“We’ve got to play faster,”

as for the U15 state selection team to represent our country in the (World Youth Football) tournament. The other quarterback was from Dusseldorf. Moritz’s mechanics and techniques were a difference maker for him in making the team.”

To date, Johannknecht has completed 70 of 130 passes for 846 yards with five TDs and seven interceptions in seven games.

With injuries sidelining the only two upperclass varsity quarterback candidates, Johannknecht’s arrival as a foreign exchange student living with the family of linebacker Seth Maitlen proved to be fortunate for the team, as well as the young German, who has a dream of playing for a college football team in the United States.

“That’s what all the (German) kids want who play football,” Daletiski said. “I hope he gets a shot.”

Rhoads said. “We got a little intimidated early in that game Saturday with the speed of Rhoads it ... I’m talking about the speed of the actual plays, and then early success of theirs created a little fear in our guys.”

On offense, there’s been some rumbling from fans hoping the Cyclones will soon turn to sophomore backup quarterback Joel Lanning. Sam Richardson had three picks against the Red Raiders, and he continues to throw passes Iowa State would rather not see come out of a senior’s hands.

Richardson will start

BOONE — Southwestern’s young team was playing its best volleyball at the conclusion of the rugged DMACC Tournament over the weekend.

The Spartans went 1-3 for the two days, including two losses to teams ranked in the top three of the nation’s Division II volleyball poll.

Third-ranked Johnson County (Kan.) took a 3-1 victory over the Spartans, 24-26, 26-24, 25-12, 25-21.

Carmen Subbert had 13 kills and 17 digs.

Xuntong Zhang had 11 kills and six digs.

Brooke D e c k er added Subbert 10 kills.

Krechele Brown had a team-high 28 digs and four service aces.

Hesston College (Kan.) then swept Southwestern 2512, 25-17, 25-21.

Subbert was the only Spartan to reach double figures in kills with 10. Brown had 16 kills and two aces. Hanna Luther had 21 setting assists.

Southwestern opened Saturday’s play against Division II top-ranked Parkland Community College (Ill.) and the Spartans fell in three sets, 25-19, 25-11, 25-13.

After dropping the first set to Metropolitan Community College-Longview (Mo.) 2520, Southwestern took three straight for its only victory of the tourney, 25-18, 25-21, 25-19.

Brittany Landendoerfer added 10 digs.

“It was a tough tournament, but we didn’t play too bad,” Southwestern coach Ting Liu said. “The last match against MCCLongview was our best game. We had many receiving errors when we played against Parkland and Hesston. The one against Johnson County was close, especially the second and fourth sets.”

Southwestern, now 1113, travels to Fort Dodge Wednesday to take on an Iowa Central team that is receiving national rankings votes with a 15-12 overall record, 4-1 in ICCAC play.

Area football Mount Ayr 42, Earlham 0 MOUNT AYR — In a similar fashion to last year’s Class A quarterfinal victory over Earlham, Mount Ayr overwhelmed the Cardinals in the second half here Friday for a 42-0 win.

Mount Ayr only ran about 14 plays on offense in the first half, as Earlham succeeded in chewing up clock. But the Raiders still took a 13-0 lead into the half, thanks to a pair of touchdown passes from Jacob Taylor to Kyle Dolecheck.

Things snowballed in a hurry in the second half, though. The opening kickoff was mishandled by Earlham, which led to Mount Ayr recovering on the 2-yard line and a Cal Daughton touchdown run.

Kyle Dolecheck intercepted Earlham on a first down pass, which led to a Taylor touchdown run. Dolecheck added a touchdown run and Caleb Schnoor had a pick six, as Mount Ayr scored four touchdowns in a 7-minute span.

“It really snowballed there in that third quarter,” Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter said. “Once we got going, they couldn’t stop us at that point. The second half, we played a lot better defensively. They had 168 yards rushing. I’m sure well over 100 of that had to be in the first half. We did a nice job second half of shutting them down.”

Caleb Schnoor led the M o u n t Ayr defense with nine tackles and the i n t e r c e p - Schnoor tion return for a touchdown.

“Caleb Schnoor really had an outstanding ballgame,” Showalter said. “Really was, I thought, his best ballgame of the year. Outstanding job of leading our defense.”

Taylor finished 5-of-9 passing for 131 yards and two touchdowns, as Dolecheck caught three passes for 83 yards. Nick Wurster added one catch for 42 yards.

Taylor had 51 rushing yards and Daughton added 48.

Kade Means also finished with nine tackles, while Logan Stark and Clay Wimer each had eight tackles.

Mount Ayr improved to 5-2 for the season and 5-0 in Class A District 8, setting up a showdown with unbeaten and fourth-ranked Pleasantville for the district title at Pleasantville on Friday.

Nodaway Valley 30, MSM 13 MARTENSDALE — Nodaway Valley took another step in keeping its playoff hopes alive with a 30-13 win here Friday against Martensdale-St. Marys.

The Wolverines improved to 3-4 for the season and 2-3 in Class A District 8 with the win. Nodaway Valley still needs to win out against Southeast Warren and Bedford in the final two weeks of the season to earn a playoff berth.

Brennen Weiland ran for 307 yards and four touchdowns on 43 carries, and Jared Corder added 95 r u s h i n g Weiland yards and one touchdown on seven carries to lead the Wolverines to victory.

“Our line did a great job against a bigger team,” Nodaway Valley head coach Steve Shantz said.

The Wolverines had a rocky start to the game, however. The Blue Devils returned the opening kickoff to the Nodaway Valley 2-yard line.

“Here is where the defense set the tone and after stops on first and second down, forced a turnover recovered in the end zone,” Shantz said. “Our offense took over and after an 11-play drive, scored. We are getting better executing on both sides of the ball and continued this throughout the game.”

The Wolverines held Martensdale-St. Marys to just 146 total yards of offense on the night, surrendering only seven first downs.

Nodaway Valley hosts Southeast Warren (2-5, 1-4) on Friday.

MS FOOTBALL: Continued from page 7A

Late in the second quarter, Creston/O-M quarterback Cael Kralik put his team in scoring position with a long run around the right side before he scored from 2 yards and a 12-7 Panther lead.

After a scoreless third quarter, Creston/O-M again scored on a Hulett 14-yard run around the right side with blocking by Steven Mills and Brance Baker.

The Cardinals put together a scoring drive to come within the final three-point margin.

Keegan Smith covered the ball on Clarinda’s onside kick attempt to seal the victory.

Hulett rushed for 94

yards on 12 carries with two touchdowns. Kralik ran for 38 yards and passed to Jackson Kinsella for a 22-yard gain during a scoring drive.

Defensively, Hulett had a team-high six tackles with a 10-yard sack.

“Clarinda made us play physical football for the first time this year, and our boys rose to the challenge,” coach Dick Clark said. “We had to finally put together some sustained drives on offense and make some adjustments on defense to their power formations. It was also the first time since I’ve been here that a team has made a place kick against us, and it was a dropkick!”

Creston/O-M assistant coach Jerry Hartman was likewise pleased.

“We knew from talking to their coach we were in for a battle,” Hartman said.

“We had told the boys that they were quick and ran an offense based on deception. The boys did what they needed to do to get the win, and it woke them up as to the level of play needed to consistently win.”

the backdrop of what happened last season.

Numerous players during fall camp alluded to the fact that the 2014 team adopted a losing mentality and culture as the losses piled up.

Iowa State lost its last nine games and finished a dreadful 2-10.

Rhoads said he’s not concerned about that happening again. He just hopes the Cyclones can simply start fast enough to build the confidence needed to pull off a monumental upset — or

two.

“There’s no give up in this football team. There’s a lot of fight in this football team,” Rhoads said. ___ Online: AP college football website: www.collegefootball. ap.org ___ Follow Luke Meredith on Twitter at www.twitter.com/ LukeMeredithAP and on Facebook at www.facebook. com/LukeMeredithAP

But Lanning has been slowly getting more and more playing time as the season has gone along — and Richardson’s hold on the job might not last long if he keeps turning the ball over.

“He didn’t throw it with the accuracy we’re accustomed to. He’s got to get back to doing that,” Rhoads said of Richardson.
