GRMC gets new tech in Varsity time for flu season football start times moved up

By ALEX FELKER

CNA staff reporter afelker@crestonnews.com

The purchase of a new infectious disease identification system was approved during Greater Regional Medical Center’s (GRMC) monthly board of trustees meeting held Sept. 25.

The machine, a FilmArray 2.0, checks patient samples for a variety of respiratory viruses and stool infections among other diseases. It was purchased from biotechnology company BioFire Diagnostics for about $45,000, and is expected to be operational by mid-November.

“This is an instrument that the technology is very, very current,” said GRMC Director of Laboratory Barb Kenyon. “Five years ago, this wasn’t available ... this machine actually looks at the organism’s Kenyon D N A .

A n d three years ago, we got our first nucleic acid instrument, but this BioFire Film Array checks for so much more.”

The machine is capable of identifying common illnesses like the flu, whooping cough, RSV, pneumonia and food poisoning, but can also identify organisms responsible for causing rare infectious diseases and even some parasites.

“It checks for all sorts of different viruses,” said Kenyon. “Some that we haven’t even heard of. But they can make you sick, and it’s important we catch them fast.”

The kickoff times for three area football games tonight have been moved up because of the threat of inclement weather.

Creston/O-M’s home football game against Class 3A 10th-ranked Glenwood has been moved up to a 6 p.m. start time.

In addition, Creston Community High School Activities Director Jeff Bevins announced the band/practice soccer field will be closed off to parking tonight. Fans are asked to park in the old bus barn lot instead.

The booster club’s recognition of volunteer and fan of the year, scheduled for tonight’s football game, has been postponed until wrestling season, while the gold

Pictured is the BioFire FilmArray 2.0 infectious disease testing system. GRMC recently approved the purchased of a two-module version of the machine at its Sept. 25 board meeting.

Kenyon said one of the machine’s best qualities is how quickly it can process samples.

“Well, you think maybe they (a patient) have food poisoning,” said Kenyon, “and you want to know quickly if that’s true because there’ll be other people involved. And in about an hour, you’ll know if this person is positive for the

marker for the right organisms for that.”

Using the hospital’s previous technology, similar tests would have taken at least 24 hours, if not longer, according to Kenyon.

The machine will generally be used for ER patients with flu-like symptoms.

Kenyon expects it to receive almost daily use during flu season, and frequent use

during the summer months, too, for gastrointestinal problems.

Dr. Steven D. Reeves of GRMC also believes the new machine to be particularly worthwhile for the hospital.

“This is a big deal,” said Reeves. “This puts us on the cutting edge of being GRMC | 2A

Effort to restrict ‘bump stock’ draws unlikely supporters WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Rifle Association has joined the Trump administration and top congressional Republicans in a swift and surprising embrace of a restriction on Americans’ guns, though a narrow one: to regulate the “bump stock” devices the Las Vegas shooter apparently used

to horrifically lethal effect.

The devices, originally intended to help people with disabilities, fit over the stock and grip of a semi-automatic rifle and allow the weapon to fire continuously, some 400 to 800 rounds in a single minute. Bump stocks were GUNS | 2A

a great convenience.

“It’s a pain for the patient, for the family — it’s a cost to put somebody in isolation. This way, you could probably hold them in the ER for an hour to get results, and then you can decide to put them in isolation.”

GRMC sent out 129 respiratory samples and 55 stool samples for testing using its previous method in 2016. And just through July of this year, the hospital has already sent out 304 respiratory samples and 95 stool samples, costing the hospi-

tal about $135,000 through July 27.

With the new machine, Kenyon says the same amount of testing would have cost the hospital about $79,000.

To add, the new machine means these tests will now be completed in-house, and in a fraction of the time they previously took.

“So that’s a real good thing for the care of the patient,” said Kenyon. “The doctors are real excited about this. It really gives us a lot of information in a short amount of time.”

GUNS:

partment at SUNY Cortland, who watches the gun industry closely, said he was surprised.

Still, he said, “it’s a pretty small concession in the realm of gun stuff. We’re not talking about banning assault weapons here. It’s a very specific accessory.”

The device, which retails for around $200, is not known among gun dealers as an item that is hugely popular. It was created ostensibly to help people with disabilities more easily fire AK- and AR-platform long guns.

The device causes the gun to buck back and forth, repeatedly “bumping” the trigger against the shooter’s finger. Technically, that means the finger is pulling the trigger for each round fired, keeping the weapon a legal semi-automatic. Because it creates a significant rocking motion it also means that the gun is “spraying” bullets and it’s difficult to hit a target.

The stocks have been around for less than a decade. Many Capitol Hill Republicans said this week they had never even heard of them before the shooting in Las Vegas. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms during the Obama administration gave its seal of approval to their sale in 2010 after concluding that they did not violate federal law.

Now, some Republicans appear inclined to blame

the Obama administration for allowing their use in the first place.

“We have to get more education on what they are,” Ryan said. “Was it a regulatory misstep by ATF some years ago?”

The issue of bump stocks came up aboard Air Force One as President Donald Trump traveled back from visiting Las Vegas on Wednesday, according to GOP Rep. Mark Amodei of Nevada, who was on board and said Trump sounded open to a change.

But Democrats insisted that a regulatory change by the ATF would not be sufficient.

“Federal regulations won’t be able to fully close this loophole,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who introduced a bill this week to ban the devices. “Legislation would make crystal clear that Congress is banning all devices that allow a weapon to achieve an automatic rate of fire, regardless of how a weapon is altered.”

It was uncertain whether Congress would go that far.

At the same time, the attention on the devices was already causing an industry response. Slide Fire, the leading maker of bump stocks, suspended sales of the items. In a post on its website, the company said it was not taking any new orders “to provide the best service with those already placed.”

CONT. FROM | 1A

found among the gunman’s weapons and explain why victims in Las Vegas heard what sounded like automatic-weapons fire as the shooter rained bullets from a casino high-rise, slaughtering 58 people in a concert below and wounding hundreds more.

Thursday’s sudden endorsements of controls came almost simultaneously from the NRA and the White House.

The NRA, which famously opposes virtually any hint of new restrictions, said in a statement: “The National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations.”

Moments after, at the White House, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders praised the announcement.

“We welcome that and a conversation on that,” Sanders said. “It’s something we’re very open to.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan added his support, as have other top Republicans.

“Obviously we need to

look at how we can tighten up the compliance with this law so that fully automatic weapons are banned,” the Wisconsin Republican told reporters at an Ryan event in Chestertown, Maryland.

It was a rare concession for all concerned. The nation’s largest gun lobby and most Republicans have stood firmly in recent years against stricter gun regulations, even as one mass shooting after another horrified the nation. They blocked background check legislation after the shooting deaths of elementary school children in Connecticut in 2012, and took no action despite intense pressure from Democrats, including a House floor sit-in, after last year’s bloodbath at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Even gunfire that left House Majority Whip Steve Scalise near death at a baseball practice earlier this year didn’t change the equation.

But this time, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, combined with the opportunity to back a limited change that could potentially be accomplished administratively, spurred a shift.

Learn about honeybees at the library 2017 Iowa Honey Queen Carly Vannoy will present a honeybee learning event 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11, at Gibson Memorial Library in Creston.

Participants will learn how bees make mummies,

the color of mystery honey and historic uses for beehives. Vannoy’s goal is to visit every county educating about honeybees, and inspire interest in beekeeping. This program is free and open to the public.

Vannoy started beekeeping three years ago through the Iowa Honey Producers Association’s Youth Scholarship Program, and currently manages three hives of her own. After serving locally and representing

her local beekeeping club as the Friendly Beekeepers of Iowa Honey Queen, she was able to advance to state and now represents honeybees, honey and beekeeping on a statewide level.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Keep an eye on this number

HOROSCOPE For Saturday, Oct. 7, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today is a good day to think about your assets and what you are worth. Information is power, especially when it’s about money and wealth.

Don’t be left in the dark.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you a little bit luckier than all the other signs. However, it also makes you more emotional. Grab the luck!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) For some reason, you want to lie in the tall grass and watch the world go by today. You need a little time to take a rest from your busy schedule.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good day to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone, especially a female acquaintance. Why not ask for this person’s take on your ideas?

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Whether you know it or not, people are talking about you today. For some reason, you are high-viz and will get noticed today. Just be aware of this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You want to escape your daily routine and do something different today. If you can’t travel, you at least want to learn something fresh and exciting.

Do something different!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Wrap up some loose details about shared property, bills, taxes and insurance issues. You’ll feel good if you know you’re on top of your game.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you’ll have to go more than halfway when dealing with others.

This just takes a little patience and tolerance - it’s no biggie.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It will please you to work efficiently today, because you want to be effective and productive. You want the most bang for your buck when it comes to your efforts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a fun-loving, playful day! Enjoy a movie, a sports event or a fun activity with children. Call up a friend for a warm chitchat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If you get a chance to cocoon at home today, you will be glad to do so. You need the luxury of enjoying some privacy among familiar

surroundings.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)This is a busy day! Grab your to-do list and hit the road. Enjoy short trips and conversations with others.

YOU BORN TODAY You are determined, when it comes to getting what you want. However, you also are charming and tactful. This year you will review your past triumphs and failures,

because you are finishing a nine-year cycle. Some of you will let go of people, jobs, places and things in order to move on to something new.

Fortunately, it’s a time of also moving away from heavy burdens.

Birthdate of: Dylan Baker, actor; Toni Braxton, singer; John Mellencamp, musician. (c) 2017 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: Most people know enough not to give out their Social Security number to just anyone, but we all freely hand out our CELL NUMBERS. Your cell number is unique to you and is a gateway to your identity. It provides entrance to all the data contained on your phone, and can connect your other information to you, such as your email address and physical address.

Most Americans are unaware of “smishing,” which is the act of sending a text message containing questionable links to websites that might not be in your best interests to visit. Last year, approximately 161,000 consumers had their mobile phones taken over by smishing. Be very careful about who has your phone number, and ask why they need it. – David J., Suwanee, Ga. SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com TOWEL TROUBLES Dear Heloise: What is the best way to make thick Egyptian towels more ab-

sorbent? – Frances W., via internet Frances, here is a triedand-true method I’ve used, and so did my mother: * First, wash towels in warm water with only half of the normal amount of detergent and a cup of white vinegar. * Do not use fabric softener, because that will make towels even less absorbent. * To make towels even fluffier, add 1/2 cup baking soda and 1 cup vinegar, but no detergent, in warm water for colors and hot for whites. * Dry in medium heat, not hot. – Heloise IDENTIFYING MEDICINE Dear Heloise: I carry a few headache pills and other meds in a pretty pillbox in my purse. If I ever forget what the medicine is, I can type the number etched or printed on the pill into the search engine on my phone – it will tell me what the medicine is, and what it’s used for. – Dana C. in Illinois CLEVER SHIPPING IDEA Dear Heloise: In the past, I saved all the packing peanuts that came in packages, but now everyone seems to use air-filled packag-

ing of one kind or another. Unfortunately, many of those “bubbles” are already popped when the package arrives. Wadded-up newspaper goes flat and offers no protection for items in transit.

My solution is simple: I save all my empty water bottles with a tight-fitting cap. I make sure they are washed and dried and never have liquid in them. This is an economical idea, and the water bottles can be stored in a box and kept in the garage.

Make sure they are empty.

After all, you wouldn’t want to spring a leak. – A Woodsman, via email A USE FOR PILL BOTTLES Dear Heloise: Regarding use of prescription pill bottles: My neighbors and I collect empty pill bottles, remove the labels and donate them to no-kill shelters. The shelters clean and reuse them, thus saving the expense of purchasing them.

All you have to do is call and ask the shelter if it would like to have the empty pill containers. – Barb C., via email (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Lions Club

Creston Lions Club met Oct. 3 at the Pizza Ranch.

The meeting was opened

by President Jerry Katzer leading in the Pledge of Allegiance. Delmer Brown gave the invocation.

Following the meal, Katzer introduced Gary Borcherding. He is on the Parks and Recreation Board for the city and is also a Lions Club member.

He presented information about the responsibilities and accomplishments of the board. He thanked the Lions for their assistance with various projects. He stated this has been a good year for the board. The new bridge over the lake and the area around it are important improvements.

Some recent projects at McKinley Park have been funded with monetary donations from several grants. There are several goals the Parks and Recreation Board have. These include improving the VFW Ball Field on Highway 34 and putting new arches at a location along McKinley Street. In past years, there were arches honoring WWI veterans. The areas in Creston the board is responsible for include Rainbow Park and all the ballfields located around Creston. Borcherding then answered questions.

Katzer presided over the business meeting. Brown made a report about the APPY HOLIDAYS! pork chop dinner, a fundease note our special

raiser held in September, sponsored by Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions clubs. Seven members volunteered for the annual candy days project, which raises funds for Lions projects.

There were six referrals for further testing.

Margo Fuller gave a report about new shirts being ordered by Lions members.

Pins were presented for years of membership to Fuller for 15 years, Brown for 20 years, Braymen for 45 years, Tom Henderson for 50 years and Roger Turk for 50 years.

Dean Brant gave his congratulations to the pin recipients and then presented information about a project that is receiving support from other Lions Clubs. It is called Tori’s Angels and it is a foundation helping kids with life-threatening medical challenges.

The annual Lions district meeting will be held in November in Exira. The club will make a gift basket available for raffle to those attending the meeting in Exira. The next meeting of Creston Lions will be 6:30 p.m. Nov. 7 at the Pizza Ranch.

CARSPA

Creston Area Retired School Personnel Association (CARSPA) held its meeting Sept. 12 in the cafeteria near the Del Richardson Conference Room at Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston.

Following breakfast, 10 members enjoyed an informative presentation

by Kathy Ralston, director of The Learning Center (TLC) of Southwest Iowa. This is a nonprofit organization in Creston that offers intervention services for students with learning difficulties in kindergarten through 12thgrade. They believe every child can learn. They provide every child with a positive learning atmosphere. Every student is assessed for placement.

Various curriculum programs are utilized to assist students with basic curriculum for reading, math and learning processes. The staff often includes five to nine teachers who experience ongoing training and professional development.

A like learning center in Des Moines or larger cities usually charges $50 - $75 per hour for intervention services. TLC considers income and family size when determining their hourly rate and pos-

sible discounts. The average rate is $35 per hour.

In addition to services for students, parental support programs and family enrichment programs are offered.

There are many generous donors in the form of businesses and individuals in the community who assist the organization. Everyone is very fortunate to have TLC in the community.

A business meeting followed. Members were reminded of the IRSPA annual meeting Oct. 4-5 in Cedar Falls. Members’ monetary contribution of $17 was collected and donated to TLC for the purchase of extra Kleenex tissues during the school year. The next meeting will be Oct. 10 featuring Tom Hawks with some other area veterans who have traveled on recent Honor Flights to Washington, D.C. — — — — — —

DEPOSIT SPECIALS Red Cross urges donors of all blood types to help maintain a diverse supply LENOX – The American Red Cross urges eligible donors of all races and ethnicities to give blood to help ensure a diverse blood supply for patients in need.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Oct. 10, donors have the opportunity to give at Lenox High School, 600 S. Locust St., in Lenox.

Some blood types are unique to certain racial and ethnic groups, so a diverse blood supply is important to meeting the medical needs of an increasingly diverse patient population.

Patients who need repeated transfusions, like 11-year-old Tymia McCullough who has sickle cell disease, must have blood that is matched very closely. Patients are less likely to have complications from blood donated by someone with a similar ethnicity. Donors of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as all blood types, are needed to help patients fight sickle

cell disease, alpha thalassemia and other illnesses.

Make an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-

“The girls did a nice job of fighting back after dropping set one,” Keeler said.

No small task: Altuve hits 3 homers for Astros HOUSTON (AP) – Jose Altuve hit three home runs in an unprecedented show of power for the diminutive major league batting champion as the Houston Astros roughed up Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox 8-2 Thursday in Game 1 of the AL Division Series.

Buoyed by chants of “MVP” in each trip to the plate, the 5-foot-6 Altuve hit solo homers in the first and fifth innings off Sale.

Creston picked a good time to play its best volleyball of the season.

The Panthers, playing at home against a Glenwood team with a better record and higher standing in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, were trailing 2-1 and on the verge of defeat.

Then, all of a sudden coaches Naomi Sharp and Mallory Peterson saw the spark they were looking for in Wednesday’s practice that focused on serve receive and offense.

“Halfway through that fourth game, I thought to myself, ‘We’re going to get this.’ They were playing more together than they had been,” Sharp said.

“Communicating better.

Just laying as a team. And, Cayla Maitlen was on tonight. After she got her first three kills I told her, ‘Welcome back. Glad you came tonight!’”

Full head of steam ■ East

Union heads to POI tournament after strong serving display

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

AFTON — Lauren Mitchell’s serve provided a blistering hot start for the East Union Eagles in Thursday’s Senior Night sweep of visiting Interstate 35.

East Union (14-9) shot out to a 17-4 lead in set one on its way to winning 25-11, 25-15, 25-13 to head into Monday’s Pride of Iowa tournament opening round with a full head of steam.

The Eagles celebrated Senior Night, honoring the careers of Eckels, Cassidy Riley and Lauren Mitchell.

It was Mitchell who demonstrated a thing or two she’s picked up in her time as an Eagle.

Mitchell served 22 of 23 with six aces, and had service runs of 10 and eight points.

“Lauren really stepped

up her serve on the serving line,” East Union coach Gail Thatcher said. “I know she spent a lot of time in practice working on it.”

Jayden Welcher also went 20 of 20 on serves, and is now 240-254 on serves this season.

“Keeping her on the service line is an important thing,” Thatcher noted.

Olivia Eckels warmed up her right swinging arm in set one with several hard winners, and dominated set two, leaping high and swinging hard for six kills on her way to 11 for the night. She also tallied nine digs.

Panthers brave Trojans’ rainy quest ■ Creston

runs in the rain at Atlantic

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

ATLANTIC — A change from Atlantic’s Golf and Country Club to the area around the high school might have saved the grass on the course, but sure

didn’t spare anyone in field of hundreds of runners from getting caked in mud at Thursday’s Atlantic Invitational.

Creston coach Pat Schlapia noted that his team took the stormy conditions in stride, and if anything, embraced the conditions.

The runners were (mostly) all laughs, taking selfies and having laughs at the expense of their teammates’

shared wet misery.

Some teams, like Lewis Central and Shenandoah, chose not to even run.

“In between races, they’d put sawdust down, lay some treatment down for better footing,” Schlapia said.

“From middle school all the way up to the high school it was like competing and surviving,” Schlapia said.

Both the boys and girls

and girls squads were in a field with numerous stateranked teams, with the Panther varsity girls taking sixth place, behind four state-ranked teams, three of which (Glenwood, Denison-Schleswig and Atlantic) are Hawkeye 10 Conference foes they will see again at Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 meet in Clarinda.

Dallas Center-Grimes took first on the boys and

girls side, the girls in close fashion (82 team points to Glenwood and Denison-Schleswig’s 88), while the Class 3A top-ranked boys dominated (34 team points, 54 better than second-place ADM).

Brielle Baker and Braelyn Baker took fifth and sixth, respectively, in the field of 128 varsity runners among 18 programs.

The varsity girls didn’t pack together as well as they typically do leading to several varsity girls slipping down (the race order, not on the ground).

“Our pack wasn’t as tight as it had been previously,” Schlapia said. “We still had with our five scorers... We were still in then top half,” Schlapia said as Paige Davis, Morgan Buxton and Allivea Skarda still finished in the top half of the varsity field.

The junior varsity girls did pack together well, as Ali Christensen (20th), Angelina Chuong (23th) and Sydney Hartsock (25th) all finished in the top fifth of the junior varsity field.

East Union’s Jayden Welcher prepares to push the volleyball over as senior Olivia Eckels looks up at the play.

Glenwood fell to 12-11 overall and 4-4 in the conference.

Maitlen led the Panther attack with 20 kills. Breanna Wallace and Kelsey Fields each had 10, with Megan Haley providing nine. Haley and Emma Hanson each had two blocks.

The key to setter Breanna Ross having 49 assists Thursday was the passing of back row players like MaKenna Hudson, Taylor Buxton, Maitlen and Wallace. Hudson finished with 29 digs and Maitlen had 21.

“Maitlen was on tonight with some crucial kills for us,” Peterson said. “We just did a really good job distributing the volleyball tonight.

We fought to get sideout when the other team started a run. And, we had worked on offense a lot. I knew they were a shorter team than we had bee playing, and we wanted to take advantage of that and mix things up.”

After ill-timed serving and serve receive errors hampered the Panthers in the 25-20 loss in the third set to fall behind 2-1, everything looked sharper starting in the fourth set after recovering from an early 6-2 deficit.

A Maitlen kill and Wallace ace serve closed the gap to 9-8 and the Panthers were on their way to seizing the momentum. Ross, who was ill before the match, fired off four straight points for a 1611 lead. Wallace then started a string of four service points with an ace to take it to 24-20.

After finishing the 25-21 win, Peterson and Sharp decided to keep Wallace on her hot streak and put her

With Dylan Linch out of action, every Panther boys Stafford runner competing Thursday was a freshman or sophomore.

The other Panther boys ran in packs, but toward the back end of the field.

“We really need to have 1-2 boys jump out ahead of that pack and take hold of us,” Schlapia noted that assistant coach Gary O’Daniels said.

Despite having seven runners stay below 23 minutes, Schlapia was hesitant to celebrate those times.

on the service line to begin the deciding set. She helped trigger a 4-1 start.

Maitlen blasted two kills while building a 7-4 lead in the set to 15 points. After Glenwood got going briefly to get within 9-8, Creston was back in front 12-8 on another good run behind Wallace’s service.

Glenwood coach Chelsey Harvey called a timeout, but to no avail as Wallace finished it out for the 15-8 win.

Hanson’s block provided the clinching point.

“Emma Hanson stepped up,” Peterson said. “We haven’t even practiced that.

We had been struggling with one rotation, and Emma had played a lot of (JV) middle. In that set we went with her and she finished the whole thing! That was great for her.”

Maitlen agreed with Peterson’s assessment that the final two sets were the best volleyball played by Creston this season.

“I’d never felt it before like that on the court,” Maitlen said. “I just had so much confidence in my back row that they could get the passes up, and confidence in

couple of weeks,” Peterson said. “This is a big conference win going into Harlan next week and then having Red Oak here for senior night on the following Monday. Then we turn around and go back to Shen for the (regional) tournament. We don’t usually play well when we’re down, so we showed tonight we can do that when we need to.”

And, none of this may have happened without the rapid recovery of Ross prior to the match. She made the offense go by keeping the Glenwood defense guessing on who she would set up for the attack.

“Yeah,” she said grinning afterward. “I didn’t feel good when we were getting ready. I threw up a couple of times in the dressing room and coach Peterson came in and asked if I was OK. I said I felt a lot better then. My stomach was still trying to settle a little bit in the first set, but after that I was OK. We went out to eat before the game like we usually do, and all of a sudden I didn’t feel good. I got better. It was fun to see us play like that.”

“We play Sidney, which is a really good smaller school team, along with Ballard and Coon Rapids-Bayard in pool play,” Peterson said. “We’ll see some good teams and get a lot of playing in.”
