hey may be the most improbable World Series champions since another team lacking national star power, the 2003 Florida

Marlins.

Local Kansas City Royals fans are looking to pinch themselves to make sure this incredible postseason ride is real.

After going through the Wild Card, American League Division Series and American League Championship Series unbeaten in eight games, with two wins at home tonight and Wednesday the Royals can claim their first World Series championship since the remarkable comeback against the St. Louis Cardinals 29 years ago.

franchise since that 1985 season.

On July 21 of this season, the Royals were 48-50 and no experts were predicting a deep postseason run.

It’s a team that ranked last in Major League Baseball in home runs with 95 home runs. But, they lead the majors in stolen bases, they play good defense and manufacture enough runs for one of baseball’s best bullpen to close out victories.

There’s a collective energy, an attitude of refusing to lose.

ATLANTIC (AP) — The attorney for an Iowa mother accused of lying about her daughter’s cancer diagnosis has requested a change of venue for her trial.

Council Bluffs attorney Jay Mez says in court documents that extensive media coverage and gossip among residents would prevent Leatha Slauson, of Atlantic, from getting a fair trial in Cass County. The trial is set to start Nov. 12.

The 30-year-old Slauson is accused of telling her community that her 5-year-old daughter had terminal cancer. An investigation this year determined the child was not sick.

The Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil Daily Nonpareil reports Slauson faces multiple charges, including child endangerment and drug distribution to a person under age 18. She has pleaded not guilty and remains at the Cass County Jail.

DES MOINES (AP) — Democratic candidate for governor Jack Hatch is back on television with a new ad.

Hatch stopped airing television advertising in late September. Campaign spokesman John Hedgecoth says Monday that a new ad, titled “Fresh Hatch Start,” will run through Nov. 3 on Des Moines and Cedar Rapids television stations. He could not immediately say how much the campaign was spending on the ad buy.

Gov. Terry Branstad has held a sizable lead

All that pent up emotion and support is reaching a crescendo now as the team returns home, trailing the San Francisco Giants 3-2 in the best-of-seven World Series.

Here are just four of the many local people hoping to “Take the Crown” this week: Please see ROYALS, Page 12

Nuns on a Bus coming to Creston Nuns on a Bus will be in Creston 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the campaign office, 119 N. Elm St. Come knock on doors in Creston to meet voters with the Nuns.

We the People, We the Voters NETWORK’s Nuns on the Bus are on the road again. This year, its 10-state, 36-city, 75-event tour will be driving so “We the People” can stand up against big money in the 2014 midterm elections.

We the People, in order to form a more perfect union, must:

• Vote: Strong voter turnout overpowers the influence of big money in politics. Dollars can’t vote, you can.

• Encourage Others to Vote: When we encourage people to vote, we make sure that the voices of the 100 percent are heard. Urge and help others to vote.

• Hold Candidates Responsible: When we demand that candidates commit to policies that benefit the 100 percent, we can all hold them accountable when elected. When the people vote, politicians listen.

Southern Prairie YMCA launches 2014 campaign to support community needs Southern Prairie YMCA is launching its annual campaign to ensure everyone in Union County has access to vital community programs and resources that support youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Every day, Southern Prairie YMCA works to support the people and neighborhoods that need it most by addressing community issues, such as obesity, chronic diseases and inactivity.

“Throughout Union County countless people know ‘the Y.’ But there’s so much more to our Y than one might think,” said Jacki Steffen, Southern Prairie YMCA executive director.

“The Y is more than a gym.

It’s a cause. As a charity, we’re dedicated to nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the nation’s health and well-being, and giving back and providing support to our neighbors.”

This year, Southern Prai-

rie YMCA hopes to raise $60,000. Funds raised will support the scholarship program in the following ways: $50 will help one child participate in afterschool for one week; $170 will allow a student to have a safe place to come after school and participate in youth programs; $250 will give a senior one year of functional fitness classes; and $550 will give a family a membership for a year.

Southern Prairie YMCA typically hosts a scholarship fundraiser in the fall. This fall, the Y has sent a donation request to its members.

The Y is planning a murder mystery scholarship fundraiser that will take place 5 p.m. Feb. 7 at Supertel Inn and Conference Center in Creston and feature a murder mystery dinner theatre and auction.

To learn more about how you can support the Y’s cause, contact Steffen at 782-9622 or visit www. southernprairieymca.com for more information.

Alliant Energy Trees Forever program sees 33rd grant planted in community since 1992 During the week of Oct. 15, the Southwestern Community College Agriculture Department and Creston FFA Chapter students planted 20 evergreens and 52 deciduous trees valued at $9,860 on the Creston High School, elementary and middle school campuses, Southern Prairie YMCA and Southwestern Community College campuses, McKinley Park and Graceland Cemetery. The trees were secured through Alliant Energy’s Trees Forever program.

The Trees Forever program encourages community tree plantings for energy efficiency and environmental awareness throughout Iowa. Alliant Energy provides funding to organizations that can match the grant through in-kind services, labor or monetary means, Trees Forever administers the program and provides technical and onsite assistance. Community volunteers plan and choose sites, select species, order trees and enlist community volunteers since the start of Alliant’s Trees Forever program in 1989, more than 1.4 million trees have been planted in communities across Iowa.

Tree planting efforts since 1992 have seen the Creston FFA membership and Southwestern Community College agriculture students (since 2010) plant 2,989 deciduous trees, 706 evergreen trees and 786 shrubs valued at $554,590 in 110 landscaping projects. The local FFA chapter has also provided the community 106,900 evergreen and deciduous seedlings to establish windbreaks and wildlife habitats.

Galen Zumbach, who was the Creston FFA advisor from 1977-2010 and currently an instructor at SWCC, said, “The Trees Forever grants have directly resulted in the planting of 1,828 deciduous and 698 evergreen trees worth $267,592.00 since 1992.”

This fall’s planting was one of 33 grants, since 1992, the Creston FFA Chapter has been awarded through Alliant Energy’s Trees Forever program.

During the past school year Zumbach prepared and secured two grants worth $19,845 through Alliant Energy’s Trees Forever program. The two grants saw 50 evergreens and 87 deciduous trees planted in seven planting projects.

An Alliant Energy Trees Forever grant was recently submitted by Zumbach and if approved will see trees valued at $10,000 planted at the VFW Softball Complex, the historical complex and walking trail located in McKinley Park. Trees Forever will notify the successful grant applicants in the spring of 2015.

“The impact our tree planting projects has on our community might not be obvious today but it is something future generations will come to appreciate,” said Creston FFA Chapter Advisor Kelsey Bailey.

Current Chapter President Darin Hatfield added, “Getting out in the community to plant trees is a great opportunity to build environmental diversity and adding to the natural beauty of our town, not to forget the hands-on learning that takes place when planting the trees.”

Earlier this fall, teachers across the U.S. Cellular footprint posted classroom projects for funding consideration that covered a variety of topics, such as language and literacy, math and science, music and the arts, health and sports and special needs. Some asked for classroom reading rugs, teaching easels and books while others requested foreign language tools and tablets. A technological aspect, such as iPads and tablets, was included in 45 percent of funded Iowa projects.

OPINION

Ebola Czar? We need a surgeon general The United States now has an Ebola czar. But what about a surgeon general? The gun lobby has successfully shot down his nomination — at least so far.

The Ebola epidemic is a global health crisis that demands a concerted, global response. Here in the United States, action has been disjointed, seemingly driven by fear rather than science. One clear reason for this: The nomination of President Barack Obama’s choice to fill the public health position of surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy, is languishing in the Senate.

You would think that an Ebola epidemic would move people to transcend partisan politics. But Vivek Murthy, despite his impressive medical credentials, made one crucial mistake before being nominated: He said that guns are a public health problem. That provoked the National Rifle Association to oppose him, which is all it takes to stop progress in the U.S. Senate.

Dr. Murthy’s statement on guns came in the form of a tweet: “Tired of politicians playing politics w/ guns, putting lives at risk b/c they’re scared of NRA. Guns are a healthcare issue,” he wrote in Oc-

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

tober 2012. A year later, the White House announced his appointment to the position of surgeon general, and on Feb. 4, 2014, he testified before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. He received bipartisan support in committee, but his nomination has not yet come up for a vote in the full Senate, ostensibly because Sen. Harry Reid knows the vote would fail. Nominations only need a majority of 51 votes to win approval. Since the Democrats have a 55 to 45 majority in the Senate (at least for now), Murthy’s approval as surgeon general should have been routine.

Fear of the NRA’s perceived power, however, prompted several Democrats -- those with tight re-election races in 2014 — to indicate they would not vote to support Murthy. Among those expected to vote against him were Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkan-

sas, and Mark Begich of Alaska.

These incumbent Democrats and others didn’t want to provoke the NRA before the midterm elections.

So the U.S. has no surgeon general.

What exactly does the surgeon general do? The position dates back to 1798, when Congress established the country’s first publicly financed health service to care for ailing merchant sailors. Now, the surgeon general commands more than 6,500 health-care workers in the “Commissioned Corps” who are tasked with protecting U.S. public health.

An equally important role of the surgeon general is to be “the nation’s doctor,” to use the position for public advocacy, to educate and inspire people to take health care seriously. So, while there is an acting surgeon general, Boris Lushniak, who is keeping the lights on at the organization, he hasn’t assumed the full public role that the position demands. In 1964, then-Surgeon General Luther Terry released a groundbreaking report, “Smoking and Health,” which prompted significant shifts in tobacco policies, like the printing of warning labels on cigarette packs and the banning of tobacco

ads on TV and radio. In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan’s surgeon general, C. Everett Koop, advocated for education and action to combat HIV/AIDS, against the wishes of Reagan, who didn’t even utter the phrase “AIDS” for the first six years of his administration as thousands died of the disease.

We can only assume that, were Dr. Murthy confirmed as surgeon general, he would be a leading voice of reason in the national response to the Ebola epidemic. Instead, we get ill-informed talking heads demanding a travel ban to and from West African nations, which every public health official acknowledges would exacerbate the epidemic, ultimately driving more infected people to cross borders illegally, avoiding the checkpoints where they might be directed to care. This scenario would definitely result in more cases of Ebola in the United States.

And what if the surgeon general also stumped for common-sense, data-driven policies to reform our gun laws? The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (named after President Reagan’s press secretary, the late James Brady, who

was critically wounded during an assassination attempt on Reagan) points out the scale of the problem with guns: On average, 128 Americans are killed or wounded by guns every day. More than 30,000 die from gun violence every year.

As far as we know, there are only two people in the U.S. currently with Ebola. There are 300 million guns. Ebola can be stopped with proper public health procedures and by rapidly deploying a massive influx of public health workers, equipment and other resources to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

The Senate should immediately vote to approve the nomination of Dr. Vivek Murthy as surgeon general. *** Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column.

I’ve talked to Tom Harkin, and I know he feels that Congressman Bruce Braley will continue this work for lowans. He has supported these issues while in the U.S. House of Representatives and will support them in the Senate. His opponent is full of sound bites even refusing to be interviewed by the Des Moines Register who conducts indepth interviews and will not let a candidate get by with sound bites or script. Please vote to keep progress for the middle class. You can vote at the courthouse during working hours now, vote by mail with an absentee ballot, or in person at the polls on election day Nov. 4.

A great deal has been said and written about the open Iowa Senate seat but I need to add a different perspective. When I returned to Iowa in 2005, many people bragged about the “balance” Iowans cherished. How they elected two very different U.S. Senators who worked together to represent this state. There was great pride in noting that with Sen. Harkin and Sen. Grassley our state was well served. It seems as if there is a move to make Iowa a “cookie cutter” state with one voice. I think that is a mistake.

I ask that you support Congressman Bruce Braley, the candidate who has supported those same causes Sen. Harkin brought to our country which improve lives for the middle class and the disabled.

I have not heard his opponent talk

about working to help the disabled, support for community colleges and public education, moving our health care system from crisis care to preventative care, nor for standing up for human rights.

The legacy left by our retiring senator was: pioneering U.S. human rights legislation, moving health care from a “sick care” system to a real “health care” system, and being the author of The Americans with Disabilities Act (landmark legislation). He fought for women to have equal pay for equal work, for women to be able to make choices about their bodies when it came to their reproductive health, to require all public buildings and transportation to be wheelchair accessible and for the workplace to be accessible for people with disabilities. He fought to see that Social Security would be there for those who work for years and see that as their only safety net

LAS VEGAS (AP) — O.J. Simpson’s appeal for release from a Nevada prison is now in the hands of the state Supreme Court.

Simpson Simpson lawyers argued in a final brief to the Nevada high court that a lower court judge was wrong to deny the former football star a new trial in his 2008 kidnapping and armed robbery conviction for a hotel room heist in Las Vegas.

The filing, submitted Friday, came after Clark Coun-

641-782-8402

Galanter, botched his case and had conflicted interests.

Galanter also handled a previous Simpson appeal that the state Supreme Court denied in 2010.

Galanter denies any conflict existed.

Both Palm and Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson declined comment Monday.

Simpson is now 67. He’s serving nine to 33 years in a northern Nevada prison after a jury found him guilty of multiple felony charges for leading a group of men in a September 2007 confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas hotel. Two of the men

testified they brought guns, at Simpson’s request.

Simpson didn’t testify at trial, but claimed he was trying to retrieve items that had been stolen from him after his 1995 acquittal in Los Angeles in the stabbing deaths of his ex-wife and her friend.

He testified in May 2013, when Clark County District Court Judge Linda Marie Bell heard his claims of ineffective counsel, that he never knew any of the men with him were carrying guns.

His lawyers now argue that his trial would have had a different outcome if the issues raised now had been raised then.

They argue that Simpson’s

multiple convictions and sentences for assault with a deadly weapon and robbery with use of a deadly weapon constitute double-jeopardy; that his lawyer should have challenged his multiple convictions and punishments; and that the jury should have been given a chance to consider lesser kidnapping and theft offenses when they deliberated.

Bell decided last November the evidence against Simpson was overwhelming, and that any errors at trial wouldn’t have changed the outcome of his trial.

Simpson isn’t eligible for parole until 2017.

Q&A: Mick Jagger, the film producer, heads to work NEW YORK (AP) — Song credits won’t be the latest place to feature Mick Jagger’s name. Instead, look to upcoming films and TV shows.

The Rolling Stones frontman has been busy producing projects, from this year’s James Brown biopic “Get on Up” to a not-yet-titled HBO series directed by Martin Scorsese.

Jagger is also behind the HBO documentary “Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown,” which debuts Monday (9 p.m. EDT).

The rock icon said he was asked to produce the documentary before the film.

“I was really interested, but I was kind of a bit documentary-ed out at that point,” the 71-year-old said with a laugh, explaining that he was asked to produce “Mr. Dynamite” around the time he finished working on the 2012 Stones’ documentary, “Crossfire Hurricane.”

“It’s very time-consuming ... but I said, ‘Yeah and I’d really like to do the documentary.’ Then I woke up the next morning and thought a feature film would be a great idea.”

Jagger asked Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney to work on the documenta-

ty prosecutors submitted documents Sept. 24 saying there was no need for another trial.

The Supreme Court could decide to hear oral arguments, or they could issue a ruling based on the written filings that have been submitted. The court usually hears oral arguments in fewer than 100 of the 2,400 new cases it receives per year. A decision in the Simpson case wasn’t immediately expected.

Simpson attorneys Patricia Palm, Ozzie Fumo and Tom Pitaro argue the former football star was wrongly convicted because his trial lawyer, Yale

“The fact that we were doing it after Mr. Brown had passed allowed people to be a little bit more free about talking about him,” Gibney said.

Gibney, whose credits include “Taxi to the Dark Side,” said he enjoyed collaborating with Jagger.

“I heard some things that made me nervous, but I had a great time. He’s a good producer,” he said. “I just heard rumbles ... but I didn’t find that to be the case. Just the opposite.”

Jagger’s other upcoming production projects include the films “Tabloid” and “The Tiny Problems of White People” with Colin Firth. He’ll play rescheduled dates with the Stones in Australia starting Saturday, and said in a recent interview that his production duties have helped him deal with his tumultuous year following the suicide of his longtime partner, L’Wren Scott. ____ AP: What was your relationship with James Brown?

AP: What other musicians would you like to do a documentary about?

Jagger: I have been asked to be involved in producing a movie on an adolescent Elvis ... so that’s in the works. And I’m doing a series on HBO which is very much music-orientated. It’s fictional drama. The lead character is the owner of a record company and it’s about his life.

Panthers advance by avenging loss to No. 14 Rams

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

Glenwood was ranked above Creston going into their regional opener here Monday, and already owned a five-set victory over the Panthers during the regular season.

The Rams were up 23-20 in game one, in the driver’s seat to take a 1-0 lead in the match.

Then, the Panthers went on a spurt that both coaches later pegged as a difference-maker.

Creston’s Jenna Taylor and Glenwood’s Courtney Magnussen exchanged kills. Creston’s Angela Sorensen had a block and a quick-reaction tip, and suddenly the Panthers were trailing only 24-23, with Haylee La Masters stepping to the service line.

LaMasters served out Creston’s 26-24 victory, aided by back-to-back kills by Panther junior outside hitter Sydney Dunphy.

The come-from-behind win propelled Creston to a 25-16 win in the second set for a 2-0

lead. Glenwood claimed the third, 25-21, but Creston responded by scoring the final nine points of the fourth set to finish the win, 25-12. Jami Sickels served eight points in a row, with Dunphy again providing the winner on a deep shot to an open spot in the Rams’ defense.

The Panthers, now 20-7, travel to Lewis Central (2114) for the regional semifinal Thursday night. Glenwood, which had reached No. 14 in the state 4A rankings last week, closed out at 16-14.

Creston coach Polly Luther said capturing the first set of such a competitive matchup was a key factor.

“That was huge,” Luther said. “The kids stepped up, never gave up, and knew they were capable of grabbing that.”

Glenwood coach Maria Jacobus said it was a reversal of circumstances from her team’s victory over Creston at home.

“We allowed that first set to slip through our fingers,” she said, “whereas when we were home, we rallied to get

that first one. From a mental perspective, I think that put us behind the eight ball a little bit.”

Glenwood again held a 1210 lead in the second set,.

From there, the Panthers went on the attack with a balanced effort at the net featuring Natalie Mostek, Dunphy, Marie Hood and Jenna Taylor, with some key blocks and tips by Sorensen in the middle. A 14-2 run put the Panthers in front 24-14 on the way to winning 25-16.

Glenwood then recovered to take a 25-21 win.

“In that third game I thought we came back really well,” Jacobus said. “I thought, OK, here we go!

Then we allowed them to rally off some points and got ourselves down in that fourth set. We just couldn’t dig ourselves out. Just little spurts here and there.”

Creston avoided going to a fifth set by bolting to a 7-3 lead en route to the 25-12 finCNA photo by LARRY PETERSON ish.

Panthers open playoffs with rematch against Rams

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

It’s a short week of preparation for the opening round

of the 2014 playoffs, but when Greene County (Jefferson) visits Panther Field Wednesday night, there is familiarity for both coaching staffs.

Creston/O-M defeated the Rams 23-7 on Sept. 19 in Jefferson. Despite having a 4-5 season, it was the worst defeat of the season for Greene County, who

Creston/O-M’s Bryce Briley (82) watches the incoming pass from quarterback Alex Nielsen for one of his two long touchdown receptions Friday at Atlantic. Briley had TD catches of 79 yards and 80 yards in addition to kickoff returns of 13, 84 and 89 yards, the latter for a touchdown, in the Panthers’ 63-28 victory.

Raiders prepare for familiar foe

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Class A eighth-ranked Mount Ayr opens the playoffs at home on Wednesday against a familiar foe in Colfax-Mingo.

The Tigerhawks, 6-3 for the season, played in the same district as Mount Ayr in Class 1A the previous two years.

The meetings in 2012 and 2013 are the only two meetings between the two teams, with Mount Ayr winning by scores of 54-16 and 61-13.

“They’re doing basically the same things,” Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Showalter said. “They’ve tweaked it a little bit. They w e r e a very young team the last two y e a r s . Showalter A lot of t h o s e

guys we’ve gone against are back. They’re really very similar to what they’ve been. It certainly does help to be familiar with what they do and their personnel.”

Colfax-Mingo comes in boasting Class A’s top passing attack, and the fifth-best air raid offense in the entire state.

The Tigerhawks are led by 6-2, 186-pound junior Jared Myers, who provides the offense with a dual-threat at the quarterback position.

Myers has completed 159 of 294 passes (54 percent) for 2,411 yards with 22 touchdowns compared to just nine interceptions.

He’s also the team’s leading rusher with 659 yards and six touchdowns on 156 carries.

Jake Lietz has the second most rushing yards with 180.

“They’re going to rely on the pass,” Showalter said.

“I think even more than Please see RAIDERS, page 8A

has played everyone on its schedule competitively.

Greene County was third in District 2 behind Carroll and Humboldt.

Included in the Rams’ regular season were a 28-27 loss to Humboldt, ranked eighth in the state this week; and Friday’s 14-0 defeat to fourth-ranked Carroll.

Since losing to Creston/O-M, the Rams have gone 3-2 including a 52-23 romp over Boone and close victories of 17-14 at Webster City and 24-21 at Perry.

“They are a better football team now than they were in week four,” said Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison. “The quarterback is a junior, I think he’s more comfortable now. They’re utilizing his athletic ability more in running the football. They are really good on defense. Their front seven is as good as we saw all year.

We cannot afford to start out the way we have against some teams this year. We have to come out and get after them.”

Tigers face powerful rushing attack in playoff opener

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

COON RAPIDS — For the second time in just over three weeks, the Lenox defense will square off with a powerful rushing attack here on Wednesday, when the Tigers take on Eight-Man sixth-ranked Coon Rapids-Bayard (8-1).

Lenox limited Fremont-Mills, averaging 261 rushing yards per game, to just 155 rushing yards in a 24-22 loss on Oct. 10.

Now, though, the Tigers must slow down Coon Rapids-Bayard’s dual rushing threat of Zach Evans and Brandon Riley. The Crusaders boast the fourth-best rushing attack in Eight-Man. Evans leads the Crusaders with 1,626 yards and 23 touchdowns on 194 carries for 8.4 yards per carry. Riley provides a dual-threat at the quarterback position with 630 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, averaging 9.8 yards per carry.

“They are big, physical,” Lenox head coach Allen Dukes said. “He’s (Evans) a very big back. His offensive

line does a good job of opening holes for him. If you slow him down, then the quarterback is also good.”

Dukes said Evans seems to be a smaller, but very similar runner to Fremont-Mills’ Spencer Phillips.

“If you don’t tackle him low, he’s going to punish you,” he said. “Then he has the ability to carry you down the field.

He’s got speed.

Our def e n s e a g a i n s t Dukes Spencer Phillips, we did a nice job. But we’re going to have to do this all over again and try to slow him down.”

The Tigers will try to slow down the Crusader rushing attack enough to force them into throwing the ball.

But Coon Rapids-Bayard has had success in the air, too.

Riley has completed 23 of Please see TIGERS, page 8A

likely travel to play against a district champion in the second round on Monday.

The Panthers, finishing 7-2 overall in the regular season and 5-1 in district play, are looking for their first postseason victory since a 28-20 win at Carroll in 2003. The last home playoff win was 21-6 over Pella in 2000.

Panther offensive coordinator Ryan McKim was an offensive lineman on the 2003 team, which lost 63-22 at home to Harlan in the second round.

“We need to come out and get a good start,” McKim said. “It’s a good football team.”

While the Rams defense resembles what the Panthers faced in September, Morrison said the offensive unit has some new wrinkles.

“They’re using what we call a ‘House’ formation, with three backs in the backfield,” Morrison said.

“They’re running isolations, counters, stretch and power flow all out of that formation. It really puts stress on your defense because they load the box.”

Senior Dylan Hamilton is still the main running back, finishing the regular season

with 775 yards and seven touchdowns. He had 106 yards in the first meeting with Creston/O-M. Chase Shiltz leads the Panthers with 706 yards and 13 TDs.

Moving up In Friday’s 63-28 victory at Atlantic, Panther quarterback Alex Nielsen moved to second place in the program’s all-time leader chart for passing yards in Nielsen a season, surpassing Eric Crittenden’s 1,732 yards in 2003. He now trails only G.G. Harris with 2,014 yards in 2005.

With 16 TD passes, Nielsen has tied the all-time best posted by Harris in 2005 and Luke Neitzel in 2011.

In the first meeting with Greene County, the Panthers outgained the Rams 325-251. However, a Greene County touchdown was called back on a penalty.

Eagles hit the road again for playoffs

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

TABOR — When East Union travels here Wednesday for its firstround playoff matchup with Eight-Man second-ranked Fremont-Mills (9-0), at least the Eagles will be used to traveling.

East Union, 5-4 this season, hit the road often during district play, traveling as far away as 137 miles one way to Blairsburg.

So Wednesday’s road playoff game will be familiar for the Eagles.

East Union faces the tough task of slowing down powerful runner Spencer Phillips, Fremont-Mills’ 6-2, 246-pound running back.

Phillips averages 108 rushing yards per game and has 18 touchdowns. Parker Powers adds 549 yards and six TDs, while Sam Phillips has 310 yards and four touchdowns.

“Pretty much what they want to do is run him down your throat,” East Union co-head coach James Har-

dy said. “A little bit like what we saw from Guthrie Center with the (Cale) Crowder b o y .

V e r y Hardy similar with the size and strength they bring to the table. Basically, what you have to do is tackle low. That’s one of the things we’ve been working on, is talking about how we have to hit them low, wrap them up and get numbers to the ball.”

Spencer Phillips is also the leading receiver for Fremont-Mills quarterback Jason Rusten. Rusten has completed 33 of 60 passes (55 percent) for 650 yards with 12 touchdowns and two interceptions.

Spencer Phillips has nine catches for 206 yards and four touchdowns.

Sam Phillips also has nine catches for 146 yards, while Please see EAGLES, page 8A

Spartans split in triangular

RAIDERS: Continued from page 7A

they did a year ago. They do a nice job. They spread the field. They show some different formations. They don’t pass deep. It’s a pretty safe passing game. They’re trying to get the ball to their skill people out in space.”

The Tigerhawks have six receivers with at least 230 receiving yards, led by Blake Summy’s 41 catches for 648 yards and five touchdowns. Jimmy Abell (6-2, 151 pounds) provides the team with a big target and has 22 catches for 465 yards and six TDs. Myers has a run or pass option on almost every play, working out of the shotgun formation.

Showalter said his team will look to take advantage of the lack of extra blockers created by Colfax-Mingo’s spread offense.

“That’s where we feel like we have an advantage on

our side” he said. “They can spread guys out there, but then they’re going to have to figure out how to protect with fewer blockers in there.”

The Raiders take pride in playing defense, and are coming off a 79-0 shutout of Southeast Warren, in which the Raiders allowed just 1 yard of total offense for the game.

“We enjoy playing defense,” Showalter said. “Our guys like it. They’re aggressive and they attack. We’re looking forward to the challenge.”

Defensively, the Raiders are led by Riley Weehler’s 28 solo tackles with 35 assisted tackles. Joe Ricker has 17 solo tackles for loss, including six solo sacks.

Twin brother Jake Ricker also has six solo sacks.

On the other side, the Raiders will have to contend with a Tigerhawk defense that excels at taking the ball

away from its opponent.

Colfax-Mingo leads Class A with 14 interceptions for the season. In total, the Tigerhawks have 27 takeaways.

On the injury front, senior receiver and defensive back Lincoln Martin returned to the team in Friday’s win in a limited role after being out with mononucleosis.

Martin L o g a n S t a r k tweaked an ankle in the win, but is expected to play.

Kyle Dolecheck, who suffered a fractured wrist on Oct. 3, is due to be re-evaluated this week. Showalter said he is cautiously optimistic to have Dolecheck back in some capacity for the playoff run.

Namanny, who measures at about 6-2, 170 pounds.

“He’s a tall receiver, but I think we’re probably going to spy him with Dawson Tullberg,” Dukes said.

“Dawson’s got some speed and he’s not a small kid, as far as height. He’s been playing really well. We’re going to say here he is, it’s your job to stop him. The last couple of days, Dawson’s been up to the challenge.”

Despite the recent loss of senior fullback and defensive end Caleb Lange, the Tigers recently received a lift with the return of tailback Dustyn Rauch from injury.

Rauch averages 5.9 yards per carry with 567 yards and seven TDs this year.

Carson Cline has completed 52 percent of his passes this season for 933 yards and 16 TDs compared to seven interceptions. Spencer

Brown has 32 catches for 538 yards and nine touchdowns.

Defensively, Brown has 12 solo sacks. His ability to pressure Riley could be a big factor in the game.

Coon Rapids-Bayard head coach John Kesselring knows his team needs to be ready for a battle.

“We are going to have to match their effort and intensity,” he said. “The thing that sticks out to me is just how hard Lenox plays. I don’t think there has been a better program in the last 10 years than what coach Dukes has been able to create at Lenox. They are going to come here without any fear, with a big following and a lot of pride. Those things are hard to beat, and that is not even taking into account the great football players that they have, as well.”

TIGERS: Continued from page 7A

40 passes (57.5 percent) for 559 yards and 12 touchdowns with no interceptions.

Logan Namanny has been the top target with 10 catches for 307 yards and six TDs. Reno Doty has four catches for 61 yards and four TDs. “They don’t throw it very often, because they’re able to pound you,” Dukes said.

“We have to try to slow their run game down and try to force them to throw some balls. I think our pass defense has really improved over the last month.”

Dawson Tullberg has emerged over recent weeks as a shutdown corner for the Tigers.

Lenox will rely on him to lock Tullberg down on

EAGLES: Continued from page 7A

Mackenzy Lang has eight catches for 131 yards. Broc Hansen has four receptions for 148 yards.

“We have to jam their ends and throw their timing off,” Hardy said. “We have to get as much pressure on their quarterback as we can. They’ll run, run, maybe two-thirds of the time. Occasionally, they’ll sneak that end or a back out of the backfield and get behind your coverage.”

Kyle Seales and Tyler Kelley will need to get into the Fremont-Mills backfield for the Eagles, creating pressure on Rusten.

Seales leads the Eagles with eight solo sacks, while Kelley has six.

On the other side of the ball, East Union will look to continue getting its run game going, while mixing in more of its short passing game.

Mike Ward leads the team with 1 , 0 2 6 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns.

C o l e Campbell has 594 Ward yards and 12 TDs. Brandon Wittstock has rushed for 364 yards and

four scores.

Campbell has completed 50 percent of his passes for 855 yards and 14 TDs, compared to six interceptions. Brandon Hulsey and Mason Gossman have been the main targets, with 413 and 209 receiving yards, respectively.

“I think our possessions on the offensive side are going to have to be very precise with the type of plays we’ll be looking at and where to focus our point of attack,” Hardy said. “We’re going to have to disguise a few things.”

Ball control, field position and physical play will be keys for the Eagles, according to Hardy.

“We need to match their physicality as much as we can,” he said. “I think a lot of it for them is to try to wear you down and get you frustrated, and take advantage of that. We have to keep our heads in the game and stay focused and physical for four quarters.”

Aside from losing senior running back Jonathan Weis early in the year to a knee injury, the Eagles have stayed healthy all year long.

“It’s your normal bumps and bruises from the games we’ve played in,’ Hardy said. “At this point in time, a majority of our kids are

The Southwestern volleyball team edged Highland (Kan.) Community College, 3-2, to start off a triangular competition Friday on the Spartans’ home court.

Southwestern won 2025, 25-20, 25-19, 27-29, 1513.

Marshalltown Community College, a Division I team in the ICCAC, swept Highland 25-16, 25-23, 2511 and then finished the night by taking three sets from the Spartans, 25-19, 25-20, 25-23.

REMATCH: Continued from page 7A

Nielsen rushed for 66 yards and passed for 196 in that game, overcoming two firsthalf interceptions. As has been the case most of the season, Nielsen utilized five different receivers in the game.

Christian Groumoutis, Bryce Briley, McClain Haines and Chase Shiltz all have more than 300 yards receiving this season.

Briley is coming off a big game at Atlantic, where he had three catches for 163 yards and two TDs in addition to kick returns of 84 and 89 yards, the latter for a touchdown.

Kicker Conner Pals had Creston’s all-time second-longest field goal at Greene

Panther lineup County of 52 yards, which is tied for 32nd on Iowa’s alltime chart.

Morrison said other than outside linebacker Colton Bolinger, out for the season with a knee injury, the Panthers should be healthy going into Wednesday’s game.

Tyson Tucker, outside linebacker and defensive back, is expected to return to action after missing two games with a knee sprain.

Other matchups in Class 3A of local interest include ADM at Carroll, Knoxville at Dallas Center-Grimes, Norwalk at Bondurant-Farrar, Spencer at Sioux City Heelan, Webster City at Ballard and Winterset at Carlisle.

Second-round matchups are expected to be announced

by the Iowa High School Athletic Association late Wednes-

block early in Sickels’ eightserve string, and Dunphy notched two of her 12 kills during the final three points.

“You don’t want that fifth game,” Dunphy said, “because it only goes to 15, and if you don’t start out well, then it’s hard. Polly encouraged us to just keep playing our game, and we’d be fine.”

“Sydney was great tonight,” Luther said. “She has gotten better throughout the year.

She hits the ball very hard.

When we are able to utilize all of our attackers, it’s a big deal.”

Jacobus said Mostek, who had a team-high 17 kills Monday, and Taylor, who matched Sorensen with nine, were Creston’s primary threats in the regular-season match.

“All the credit in the world goes to Creston,” Jacobus said. “They really took advantage of that outside attack tonight. They have some wonderful hitters on the outside. We kind of thought they would make some changes from the first time, when they attacked quite a bit from the right front and some out of the middle.”

Sorensen and Mostek also changed things up and found holes in the Rams’ court with some tips and dumps.

“Everyone was doing their part,” Luther said. “The back row was getting up balls, the setter was putting it where it needed to be, and hitters were terminating. We didn’t want to go to game five.”

This year, Region 3 appears to be wide open with 15th-ranked ADM taking on Norwalk on Thursday. Norwalk defeated Winterset 3-0 Monday.

Balanced region Both Lewis Central and Creston are unranked in the other regional semifinal, but had been ranked in the bottom third of the top 15 earlier in the season. Glenwood actually had the highest ranking in the region at 14 going into postseason play.

“You look at the regional, and you kind of figured anybody could grab it,” Jacobus said. “All of us were kind of like, whew, Harlan’s not here!

It’s anybody’s regional. We are all evenly matched.”

Coach Luther was a junior setter on the last Panther team to go to the state volleyball tournament 27 years ago.

This 20-win Panther team is the most successful since that state team in 1987, and stands two wins from matching that accomplishment.

“It’s been in the back of our minds that we haven’t had a volleyball program like this for a long time,” Mostek said.

“It means a lot to the school and the community. We have to come out Thursday firing on every single point. When we have everybody on, we’re tough.”

Hanna Luther, battling back issues, put up 53 assists in a busy night setting up Panther hitters. A hustling defense was led by Sickels as the libero with 13 digs. LaMasters

and Alli Thomsen had 10 and nine, respectively. Five Panthers were perfect at the service line and Dunphy missed only one of 17 tries.

There were fewer errors of all types than in a 3-1 loss to Lewis Central at Atlantic on Oct. 2.

“We have to play our game, and then we’re going to compete,” Luther said.

“It was tough, at a neutral location and the crowd just wasn’t there,” said Mostek, among the seven Panther seniors who were victorious Monday in their final home appearance. “Hopefully we’ll have a few more fans over there and have an atmosphere.”

ROYALS: Continued from Page 1

Travis Bryant

Travis Bryant wasn’t a big kid, so growing up in a baseball-crazy community like Lenox during the coach Steve Westphal regime was perfect.

“Baseball is my sport,” Bryant said. “It doesn’t matter how big you are. Watching the Royals is kind of like our Lenox team under coach Westphal. A lot of small ball, making things happen.”

Bryant was part of the Tigers’ state championship team in 2006. He still has the ring and cherishes that memory.

But what’s happening now with his favorite Major League Baseball team since he was 10 years old is pretty special, too. Especially since he’s an employee of the organization!

Bryant is manager of ballpark services at Kaufman Stadium.

“Our department is in operations,” Bryant said. “Ours maintains and cleans the stadium. We have a day crew that cleans it, washes seats, wipes things down, sweeps the concourse. I work every game in charge of the restroom attendants, sweepers and maintenance. Then we have a contracted night crew that comes in after games.”

This is Bryant’s third season with the ballclub, and it’s been incredible to watch the rise to greatness up close. It’s been a hectic time, though, as he and wife Andria had their first child, daughter Brooklyn, just six weeks ago as all of this was about to unfold.

With so much excitement, lack of sleep hasn’t been a problem.

“When we clinched the ALCS, I was down on the field and watched all of the celebration,” Bryant said.

“They had a toast for all of the employees in a conference room. My office is in

the tunnel where the players walk out, so I see them all the time. Everyone has been in such a great mood.”

One of Bryant’s first memories is attending a Royals game as a child and having relief pitcher Jeff Montgomery stop and sign some memorabilia for him at the ballpark.

“Now he’s our pregame and postgame TV guy,” Bryant said. “After we won the pennant, at the postgame party, I talked to him and told him the story of how he’s part of my first memory at a Royals game. He said, ‘You just gave me chills!’ He told me his dad always told him to sign things and make people happy.”

He said the team’s trade that brought pitcher James Shields to the team seemed to push the Royals over the hump this season. He said you could tell that many of the young players coming up the past three years were going to be special someday.

That someday is now.

“It’s fun to show the world what we have here,” Bryant said. “Being a part of it, in the front office and having a role in the organization, I take a lot of pride in that. It’s impossible to describe how that feels.”

Mike & Donna King

Mike King says he doesn’t want to stop to think how much he and wife Donna have spent on tickets for postseason games since the Kansas City Royals rallied to beat the Oakland A’s in the American League Wild Card game.

Sometimes children and grandchildren have been in tow.

But, to Mike King, it’s an experience of a lifetime.

“It’s like a dream,” King said. “It’s like we’ve been on this magic carpet ride. All of the ushers and people around us know us by name now.

We’ve probably seen a dozen different teams play this year

against the Royals. It’s fun to go to the games, and Donna has always been a baseball nut. She’s like a 16-year-old kid down there!”

Tickets have gone for anywhere from $400 to $2,500, but King said he has not had to buy on the high end of that scale. Normally they purchase tickets through the team’s ticket office, so they get “credit” along the way toward the ability to buy postseason tickets. He has also used third-party brokers like StubHub. “We got lucky enough to get approved for the Wild Card game through signing up with Major League Baseball, and we’ve just gone from there,” King said. “Hey, my health isn’t the best. I turned 60, I’ve got a pacemaker. I told Donna, if we’re ever going to do it, let’s do it! Let’s see the games when we can.”

Greg Abbott

Greg Abbott was a kid when the Royals were strong in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

He and boyhood friend in Creston, Craig Campbell, now of Nashville, Tenn., used to go to Royals games on trips with their fathers.

They couldn’t resist putting a hit on the bank account and grabbing a memory of a lifetime.

“We made our minds up we were going no matter what,” Abbott said, of their plan to meet in Kansas City last Wednesday to attend the second World Series game, a 7-2 Royals victory.

“I was a freshman in college the last time they went to the World Series,” Abbott said. “I wasn’t missing it this time. It’s been a long time.”

“We went down to Kaufman Stadium about 2:30 p.m. and the tailgating was amazing,” Abbott said. “It was like a college football, or Chiefs football game. Tents

were everywhere, people eating and drinking and having a great time.”

Strategically, Abbott and Campbell waited to buy tickets until prices dropped closer to game time.

“We scalped two tickets for $500 each five minutes before the game,” Abbott said. “There was some talk earlier of $2,500. Ten minutes before, the same guy wanted $1,400 for the two of them.

We said we’ll give you $1,000 cash right now. He said OK.” “I have a buddy who helps me get tickets during the season and we’ve done most of the last five or six opening days,” Abbott said. “But this was just beautiful, to be sitting there during a World Series game in Kansas City.”

Troy & Dylan Hoepker

Creston third-grader Dylan Hoepker got the surprise of his life last Tuesday.

During the lunch hour, his father, Troy, showed up at school and Dylan was called

to the office to meet him.

“Troy asked Dylan if he wanted to go to a World Series game,” said Corina Hoepker, Troy’s husband and Dylan’s mother who teaches fifth grade at the school.

“Dylan said, ‘Sure!’ So Troy said, ‘Then let’s go!’ Troy had gotten tickets to the first World Series game.”

Dylan can rattle off the names and statistics of all of the Royals players. This father-son trip to see them play in the World Series was a dream come true.

“You know, they lost the game,” Corina Hoepker said, “but they got to go. They ran into (former Royals pitcher) Bret Saberhagen in the team’s store and shook his hand, before he (Saberhagen) threw out the first pitch that night. They are diehard Royals fans, and this was a once in a lifetime deal.

“Troy asked Dylan what his favorite part of the day was,” Corina said, “and he said tailgating, and playing catch there with dad.”
