Over the weekend, law enforcement executed search warrants on multiple properties near Thayer and, in doing so, did discover the skeletal remains of a second individual.

“We had to use some excavating equipment and the use of a dog team to help locate the skeletal remains (of the second victim),” said DCI a g e n t M i k e Motsing- Motsinger er during a press conference at the Union County Courthouse around 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

Jerry Dillinger, 37, of Thayer was charged on two counts of first-degree murder Saturday evening.

These charges come after his ex sisteri n - l a w J. Dillinger Loretta Dillinger was found dead in a stock pond near the intersection of Redwood Avenue and 105th Street in rural Union County on Dec. 2.

Loretta’s death prompted a full investigation by local law enforcement and Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI), and through that investigation, law enforcement was in-

ported to the State Medical Examiner’s office in Ankeny for identification and forensic examination.

Meanwhile, an autopsy is currently being performed on Loretta’s body.

Jerry Dillinger is currently being held in Union County Jail on a $2 million cash only bond pending further proceedings. The cause and manner of the two deaths are not being released until autopsies are complete.

DCI, Union County Sheriff and Union County secondary roads, Iowa State Patrol, Creston Police, Department of Natural Resources, State Medical Examiner and North American Police Work Dog Association all aided in this investigation.

The News Advertiser will have more information on this case as it becomes available.

Peac Love,

Dorothy Lines

in-law Joyce Lines; daughter Linda Jeske; daughter Cinda Carbone; son-in-law Bob Carbone; five grandchildren; three step-grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren and so very many more that knew and loved her as mom or grandma.

Dorothy was a lifelong resident of Creston until moving to Naples, Florida, in 2003. She was a member of Creston United Methodist Church and Order of the Eastern Star. She worked as a bookkeeper and secretary at Irving School where she loved being with all the kids.

In her 50th Creston High School reunion book, she wrote she had “50 years of happy memories, with enough sorrow to appreciate the good times and not dwell on the bad. My greatest pleasure has been my

close relationship with my family. We have had some great times together…” The well-being of her family and friends stood first and foremost in her selflessness, patience, dedication and understanding. She leaves a legacy of love, so much laughter, overwhelming kindness and boundless devotion for all of us to emulate. She always told us to count our blessings and we count her as one of our greatest blessings.

She led her life with love and caring for all. Her adventurous spirit and endless energy took her ice fishing, dog sledding, wave running, boating, fishing, snorkeling, boogie boarding, four wheeling, shelling, hiking, cruising, touring Europe in an old Chevy, remodeling houses and sometimes just

floating or napping, always with the motto that she may not have another opportunity. She was well known to always have a smile to share with everyone she met. Her love of all animals and nature was a huge part of her life. Her joyful wonder of our surroundings taught us to appreciate the extra colors in our lives.

She will always be alive in our hearts.

Interment will be at the Graceland Cemetery in Creston. Her wishes were for all the family to spend as many birthdays and holidays with her as possible, with the family scattered across the country. In lieu of a service, the family honored those wishes by spending very special time with her in 2015. There will be no formal services planned.

Getting a better grip Dear Readers: Here’s this week’s SOUND OFF, about slick containers: “I am a cancer survivor, and one of the side effects of chemotherapy is neuropathy.

Dishwashing liquid, shampoo, conditioner, shower gels, etc., are packaged in plastic containers. The ones I like are hard to grip securely. I would suspect I am not the only one who has this problem.

“I purchased a new cellphone, and the case has ridges, which makes it easier to hold. I wonder if companies could use containers that are not as slick — put dots or ridges on the containers.” — Ann G., via email Ann, thank you for writing, and I’m sure many people are affected by neuropathy for various reasons. Neuropathy often can cause numbness, mostly in hands and feet.

Some say it may feel tingly, or like little pinpricks, similar to when your foot falls asleep.

Here’s a hint for you: Put big rubber bands around the containers to give you a good grip.

Also, a wet or damp washcloth wrapped around the slick container will allow you to pick it up more securely.

Hopefully, manufacturers will look at their packaging

Carolina’s 38-point win over Atlanta Sunday was the largest margin of victory in franchise history

National Digest

Still unbeaten CHARLOTTE, N.C. —Cam Newton raced from one end of the Carolina Panthers’ sideline to the other in the final moments of a 38-0 rout of the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, raising his arms to the crowd as fans cheered on their emotional MVP candidate.

Newton — and the fans — had plenty of reason to celebrate.

The fifth-year quarterback completed 15 of 21 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns, and the unbeaten Panthers clinched a firstround bye in the NFC playoffs in what Newton described as the team’s most complete game.

The Panthers outgained the Falcons 424230, forced four turnovers and matched the franchise’s largest margin of victory.

Patriots roll HOUSTON — New England coach Bill Belichick downplayed the return of Rob Gronkowski on Sunday night since he’d only been out for one game.

Tom Brady was far more effusive in his delight at having his tight end back.

Brady threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns and the Patriots snapped a two-game skid and clinched a playoff spot with a 27-6 win over the Houston Texans.

The Patriots (112) moved ahead of the Denver Broncos and the Cincinnati Bengals in the race for the top AFC playoff seed and can clinch the AFC East with one win, or with one loss or tie by the New York Jets.

New England hasn’t lost three straight games since 2002.

ISU wins AMES, Iowa — Iowa State’s previous game featured a one-point win over a state rival and a swarm of fans storming the court, which left a local columnist with a broken leg.

The Cyclones were more than happy to post an unimpressive but largely drama-free victory on Sunday.

Jameel McKay scored 18 points with eight rebounds, and No. 4 Iowa State defeated Arkansas-Pine Bluff 78-64 for its ninth straight win.

Matt Thomas had 17 points in his first start of the season for the Cyclones (9-0). They rested guard Naz Mitrou-Long, who is still working his way back from offseason surgery to repair both hips.

“We just weren’t very good,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said. “But we never devalue winning, man.”

The Golden Lions (2-8) hung around for about 35 minutes against an Iowa State team three days removed from an emotional 83-82 win over Iowa. But Monte Morris’ alley-oop to McKay gave the Cyclones a 70-54 lead with just more than 5 minutes left.

Panthers crown 6 champs in dominating CD tourney

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

LEON — Thirteen Creston/O-M wrestlers placed in the top three — including six champions — as the Panthers rolled to the team championship of the Dan Christensen Invitational Friday night at Central Decatur High School.

Only 126-pounder Carson Wheat, forced to injury default in the consolation round with a back injury, didn’t place in the top three for the dominant Panthers.

Creston/O-M is ranked second behind Albia in tournament rankings by The Predicament, and first

by IAwrestle.com. Friday’s outcome was a statement for the Panthers, even with a less than full strength Albia squad participating.

“I thought we’d probably be in pretty good shape when a couple of Albia’s kids didn’t wrestle, but I did not anticipate that much point-wise,” said Panther coach Darrell Frain.

Creston/O-M accumulated 300.5 points and Albia

was a distant second with 193.5 and three individual champs. Pleasantville (104.5) won a close battle for third with Moravia (99.5), Panorama (99) and Van Meter (94).

“We got a lot of guys seeded high and we had lots of pins, which is something

we’ve really been trying to push,” Frain said. “I guess we’ll find out this week for sure how we’re doing with that.”

Important week

The Panthers host Denison-Schleswig and Glenwood in a conference double dual Tuesday, with

the much-anticipated dual between state-ranked rivals Glenwood and Creston/O-M concluding the event, slated to start sometime between 7:30 and 8 p.m.

On Friday and Saturday the Panthers again participate with top teams from

several states in the Kansas City Stampede at Hale Arena, 1701 American Royal Ct. Kansas City, Mo. Frain said his team showed the ability to wrestle on back-to-back days by claiming the Central Decatur title one night after taking a double dual in Atlantic also involving Clarinda.

“We got home about 1 a.m. (Saturday) and went in and practiced again at 7:30,” Frain said. “It’s always tough to wrestle your first match Saturday morning in Kansas City right after our toughest matches of the season on Friday night, so we’re getting them ready for that situation.”

He was pleased with his team members meeting or exceeding their seeds in amassing 300 points Friday night.

Winning championships were Wyatt Thompson (138), Mitchel Swank (145), Cameron Leith (160), Jackson Mikkelsen (182), Seth Maitlen (195) and Kadon Hulett (220).

Panther girls rebound to hand Atlantic first loss, 43-29

By LARRY PETERSON mance restores some of

CNA sports writer lpeterson@ crestonnews.com

Taylor Briley said the Creston girls basketball team had something to prove Friday.

The Panthers were coming off a dismal performance on Tuesday in a 43-31 loss to a young, rebuilding Shenandoah lineup. Creston has a veteran squad of three seniors and two juniors in the starting lineup.

“Today we wanted to come back and show that we are a good team,” Briley said Friday night, “and we’re not the team we were on Tuesday.

All of us were off that Briley night.”

It was a significant turnaround here Friday, as the Panthers held previously 4-0 Atlantic to nine points in the first half in securing a 43-29 victory. However, it was not the matchup that counts in Hawkeye 10 standings. That occurs Feb. 6 in Atlantic.

Still, Friday’s perfor-

Sitting out much of the second half with four fouls, senior post player Jenna Taylor still managed 11 points, including 7-of-7 at the free throw line.

Junior center Cammy Rutherford snared 12 rebounds while scoring four points, and Taylor grabbed nine as the Panthers owned the battle of the boards.

“The difference tonight was our effort,” said Panther coach Brent Douma.

“We had two really focused days in practice, and you saw the focus and intensity right from the start tonight.”

in taking a 40-33 halftime lead. The Lady Bulldogs went on to post a 76-65 win over Mount Ayr, staying undefeated for the season.

Mount Ayr committed a total of 26 turnovers against Bedford’s press, with many of those turnovers coming during Bedford’s big run.

“Our girls played with a ton of confidence. They were just jacked up,” Mount Ayr head coach Thad Streit said. “And then that second quarter just killed us. We didn’t do our press breaker very well. We changed our press breaker and then we just threw some long passes. They’re too fast to get those long passes.”

Macy Larsen, Megan Warin and Tess Shields all hit 3-pointers in the early going for Mount Ayr, while Kelcie Shields dominated in the post in the 24-9 run to open the game.

But the Raiderettes came into the game averaging only 48.0 points per game, while Bedford was averaging 65.6 points per game.

ATLANTIC — Atlantic came out of the gates firing and Creston’s young basketball team couldn’t keep pace with the Trojans in a 74-53 Hawkeye 10 Conference loss here Friday.

The Panthers traded baskets with the Trojans for awhile, but Atlantic eventually outpaced the Panthers to a 26-11 lead after the first quarter. That lead expanded to 42-20 by halftime.

“They got on a run midway through the first quarter,” Creston head coach Taylor Phipps said. “We were able to kind of match it the first couple minutes of the game and play with them, but we couldn’t stop the bleeding there the rest of that first quarter.”

Atlantic hit a couple of outside shots and then was able to take advantage of its height and length on the inside to get rolling.

Senior post player Ryan Hawkins scored 23 points on 11-of-18 shooting with 12 rebounds, seven steals,

five assists and five blocked shots. Junior Garrett Franken added 22 points with seven rebounds and six assists.

Scott Leonard finished with 13 points and six rebounds, shooting 5 of 5 from the floor.

“They did a really nice job getting it down on the block to their big guys,” Phipps said. “They had an advantage at several positions with length and height. They did a good job of utilizing that.

They did a good job of kicking it out and hitting threes after we collapsed on them in the post.”

Atlantic led the Panthers 65-33 after three quarters, but Creston was able to chip into the lead with a 20-9 advantage in the fourth quarter.

“We had been talking about keeping together and keep building and taking steps in the right direction,” Phipps said. “After the game, talking to the team, that loss felt a lot different than the loss Tuesday. We’re still taking steps. This team, this is only their fifth game BOYS | 8A

Bedford pulls away from Raiders Spartans roll past Central JV

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Two big runs — one at the end of each half — propelled Bedford past Mount Ayr here Friday night in a battle of Pride of Iowa Conference unbeatens.

With the 54-38 win, Bedford stayed undefeated in the conference, joining Interstate 35 as the only other unbeaten in the conference. Mount Ayr, meanwhile, fell to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in POI play.

The two teams went back and forth through the first quarter and Mount Ayr took a 17-16 lead early in the second quarter after Nick Wurster hit back-toback buckets and Rhett Murphy made a free throw.

But Bedford finished the half on a 17-3 run, taking a 33-20 lead into halftime.

Colt Scott exploded during the run, scoring 12 of the 17 points.

Scott, who entered the game averaging 24.0 points per game, tallied 19 points by halftime.

Coming out of the halftime break, the Raiders went box-and-one on Scott, with either Caleb Schnoor or Kyle Dolecheck chasing Scott around the court.

That held Scott in check, as Mount Ayr chipped away at the lead. The Raiders cut the lead to 34-29 with 2:44 left in the third quarter.

Bedford did not make a field goal until more than 6 minutes had passed in the quarter.

“We wanted to make sure in that halfcourt set we were doing a good job of getting him (Scott) off that double screen,” Mount Ayr head coach

CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER

Mount Ayr senior Caleb Schnoor tries to split Bedford defenders Dylan Davis (45) and Colt Scott (5) on a drive to the basket during Friday’s 54-38 loss. Schnoor scored six points in the loss.

Bret Ruggles said. “We figured they were going to set screens for him somehow, some way, but we wanted to make sure absolutely we were guarding him with a guy in his face at all times, because he was hot. Unfortunately, good players show up for big games and he’s one of them.”

Bedford ended the third quarter with a 38-31 lead and then outscored the Raiders 16-7 in the fourth quarter, including a 12-0 run.

Scott finished with a game-high 28 points, scoring more than half of Bedford’s points. He added a game-high 14 rebounds for a double-double. No other Bulldog scored in double figures, as Max McMillin scored nine points.

“I thought there were two big mental lapses, with maybe about 2 minutes to go in the first half and about 2 1/2 to go in the second half,” Ruggles said.

“We just got mentally tired and when you get mentally tired, you make silly mistakes. There were a couple of inbound passes that got stolen right away for layups. They shot the ball really well and unfortunately, we’ve had a couple of nights now where we’re not shooting it real well.”

Bedford shot 45.6 percent from the floor compared to just 26.4 percent for Mount Ayr. Nick Wurster led the Raiders with 17 Wurster points.

“We put a lot of pressure on him, because when he gets that ball on the press, he’s got to take it all the RAIDERS | 8A

Terrance Smith and Simon Joseph each scored 18 points as the Southwestern men cruised past Central College JV Saturday, 9463.

The Spartans, now ranked ninth nationally among Division II junior colleges, improved to 13-2 heading into Tuesday’s road test at Division I 16thranked Indian Hills (12-2).

“We played OK, considering we were coming off three straight Division I opponents, finals week coming up and Indian Hills on the horizon,” SWCC coach Todd Lorensen said.

“We didn’t play (point guard) Ahmad Newsome.

He hurt his non-shooting hand at the end of the Marshalltown game and we were being cautious with it.

Lorensen said Central’s JV lineup was “undersized” and Joseph was effective inside with a teamh i g h e i g h t t w o p o i n t f i e l d Joseph goals.

Smith scored inside and out, including a pair of 3-pointers.

Freshman point guard Calvin Chambers chipped in 14 points. TJ Bower and Sergio Antelmi each added nine.

Jacob Hay, sophomore guard from North Cedar, made four 3-pointers in leading Central with 16 points.

Lorensen said the Spartans face a stiff challenge Tuesday night.

“They are what you would expect,” Lorensen

said. “Long and athletic, a lot of talented guys. Their starting five is all Division I transfers or guys who have signed to play Division I next year. From a talent aspect they are as good as anybody we will play. It’s a great challenge for us and playing it there will be a fun experience, as well.”

CHAMPS: CONT. FROM | 5A

Marlin (132) and Joey Huntington (152). Third-place finishers were Cade Vicker (106), Jacob Goodson (113), Brody Frain (170) and Cody Tanner (285).

Thompson and Maitlen remained undefeated for the season and were not challenged Friday night.

Thompson (100) pinned Moravia’s Nicholas Martin in the 138-pound finals.

Thompson “He really hasn’t been threatened yet,” Frain said. “Next week will be big for him.”

Maitlen (10-0) won a 20-5 technical fall over Isaac Benton of Van Meter in the 195-pound finals. “ S e t h Maitlen and Kadon (9-1) were never really threatened either,” Frain said. Hulett pinned Central Decatur’s

Trace Carson in the finals in 3:42.

Swank looked dominant as the No. 1 seed at 145, pinning Kale Baird of D a v i s County in the finals in 56 sec- Swank onds.

“Mitchel gets after it. He’s powerful and explosive, and really showed that Friday,” Frain said.

Moving up

Leith improved to 10-1 for the year and gained revenge in the process by taking a 4-0 decision from Wayne’s B l a y d e Leith Baker.

“The kid in the finals pinned him at the John Harris Tournament last year and knocked him out on the first night,” Frain said.

“He caught him that night in a headlock. Cam wrestled smart in this one. He’s looking as good as anybody for us right now.”

Like Leith, Mikkelsen seems to have reached a new level this season, improving to 10-2 with his 3-1 decision over Albia’s Ben Mason in the 182-pound finals.

“The Albia kid was the No. 1 seed,” Frain said. “I think Jackson got some confidence Thursday night in beating Atlantic’s (Drake) Roller, and carried that over to Friday. He won by a tech fall, a pin and the 3-1 decision in the finals. The Albia kid is no slouch. Last year we felt Jackson was right on the edge, losing some close matches in those type of matchups. He’s winning a lot of those this year.”

The Panther coach said Luther wrestled well in reaching the 120-pound finals, but faced an early deficit in the finals that he couldn’t make up in losing an 8-4 decision to Van Meter’s Nate Vento.

Two-time state placewinner Briar Cochran derailed Marlin in the 132 finals by a technical fall. Joey Huntington had a good third period but it wasn’t enough in a 12-4 loss to Albia’s Blake Lawless in the finals at 152.

Albia’s nationally-ranked 106-pounder, freshman Aden Reeves, moved up to

113 where Goodson took third. Likewise, Vicker had solid wins at 106 including a pin in the third-place match against Red Oak’s Cam Vanderhoof.

Brody Frain (8-4), filling in for state champion Chase Shiltz at 170, came from behind to pin Mount Ayr’s Cal Daughton in the third-place match. Tanner won his thirdplace match at heavyweight over Panorama’s Dalton Bennett by a fall in 3:22.

Frain said Shiltz will be medically evaluated today in regards to availability to return for Tuesday’s double dual.

Also taking place Tuesday will be a performance by the young cheerleaders (kindergarten-fourth grade) during the break between duals. They were scheduled to practice today with the high school wrestling cheerleaders.

to keep it lower. But when we were up 24-9, I was like well keep it going, I guess. We did get too fast.”

Meanwhile, Bedford coach Kenny Weed felt Mount Ayr’s pace of play was playing into his team’s hands.

“We wore them down. We got down and we didn’t panic,” Weed said. “We knew we had enough depth to wear them down and we had girls come off the bench and do their job. Once we got them running a little bit and got our press on, it changed the ballgame a little bit.”

Bedford’s run continued into the second half, as the Lady Bulldogs built a lead as large as 16 points in the fourth quarter.

But Mount Ayr bounced back, closing to within six points at 68-62 after Tess

Shields hit one of two free throws. Warin scored or assisted on 14 straight Mount Ayr points during the second half leading up to Shields’ free throws.

The Raiderettes were unable to get any closer, however.

Warin finished with 26 points in the loss, w h i l e Kelcie Shields a d d e d 21 points and 15 rebounds.

B e d f o r d Warin was led by Calfee’s 28 points, while Fallyn Beemer added 19 points and Callyn Bonde chipped in 10.

The game kicked off a stretch of five straight games against ranked teams for

The Raiderettes fell to 2-2 overall and 2-1 in Pride of Iowa Conference play with the loss.

Bedford, meanwhile, improved to 6-0 and 3-0, surviving its first big test of the season.

“We told the girls this was a big game,” said Weed, who earned his 300th career victory earlier in the week. “They’re one of the top teams in the conference. To come over here and get a win is really big for our program, big four our team.

looks and we rebounded pretty well,” Douma said. “Cammy had to step up without Jenna in there.

We were able to score just enough by running through our offense with some good ball movement and player movement.”

Atlantic fought back in the third quarter, catching up six minutes in as Taylor sat out much of the period with four fouls. Atlantic took its only lead at 23-22 with :34 left in the quarter. Briley scored on a nifty pass by freshman Brielle Baker for a 24-23 edge entering the fourth period, which Creston dominated 19-6.

“Brielle had a nice assist there to get us a little momentum coming out of the quarter,” Douma said. “We were able to get Jenna back in the game about a minute later and get back to the free throw line.”

Baker, the season’s JV scoring leader — including 26 points in Friday’s win — gave a timely cont r i b u t i o n Baker as senior Camryn Somers suffered an eye injury and did not return to the floor.

“Brielle came in and did a nice job defensively, and she gives you another dimension with her ball handling and shooting,” Douma said.

“She did a nice job. Camryn got poked in the eye pretty good and Brielle was doing all right, so we just let it be.”

“I was very impressed with how Brielle handled it (varsity), because the first time can be scary,” Briley said. “I think tonight we realized that on Tuesday our energy level was very low, and we real-

ized we can’t play like that.

When we watched the tape of the Shenandoah game we realized we were much slower than we normally are, so we knew we needed to get more active.”

Shorthanded

Atlantic coach Kelly Juhl — whistled for a technical foul in the fourth quarter that led to two Taylor free throws for a 36-25 Panther lead with 1:36 to play — looks for a different outcome in the February matchup. He said his squad wasn’t at full strength Friday.

“Erin partially separated her shoulder Tuesday at Red Oak and didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday,” Juhl said. “She is still sore and tender. Skye Thompson got the flu right after that game and wasn’t in school Wednesday or Thursday. We were patching in different girls in practice and we just didn’t get it gong tonight. We had a lid on the bucket.”

Another big challenge awaits the Panthers, traveling to third-ranked Harlan Tuesday in a varsity doubleheader. The Cyclones improved to 2-1 with a 50-22 victory at Denison Friday.

The Cyclones’ only loss is 5654 to Class 4A fourth-ranked West Des Moines Dowling Catholic.

Creston is now 4-1 overall and still 1-0 in conference play.

Northwest Missouri State defensive end Collin Bevins gestures “No. 1” to the home crowd after the final defensive stand of a 38-23 victory over West Goergia Saturday, sending the 14-0 Bearcats to their ninth NCAA Division II national championship game this weekend at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. Bevins had two tackles, including a tackle for a 1-yard loss, and a quarterback hurry.

Northwest (14-0) will take on Shepherd University (13-0) at 3 p.m. Dec. 19.

The Shepherd athletic director is B.J. Pumroy, married to Creston native Kayla (Wallace) Pumroy, daughter of Dean and Betty Wallace of Creston.

playing together. We still feel like we’re taking steps.”

Phipps said his team was better with its defensive positioning in the second half, as well as playing with more patience on the offensive end to get better shots.

“We challenged them at halftime to get more physical,” Phipps said. “I thought they came out and played with a lot of effort and showed a lot of heart in the second half.”

Freshman Kylan Smallwood led the Panthers with 21 points on 8-of-16 shooting.

He also posted a team-high Smallwood eight rebounds.

Sophomore Evan Jacobson added 10 points with three assists. Cody Crawford scored eight points with a team-high five assists.

Tucker Flynn grabbed five rebounds and Cooper McDermott hit two 3-pointers.

“I think Kylan played really well,” Phipps said.

“For us to be competing in games, we’re going to need him staying aggressive on both ends of the floor. Our upperclassmen showed great leadership in continuing to play and continuing to grind even though we were down. That’s good when you see your team do that.”

The Panthers, now 1-3 overall and 0-2 in Hawkeye 10 play, travel to Harlan on Tuesday in a non-conference matchup, before hosting Kuemper Catholic Friday in a game that counts in the Hawkeye 10 standings.

JUNIOR VARSITY The Creston JV team fell to 0-4 for the season with a 54-41 loss to Atlantic on Friday.

The Panthers trailed 2420 at halftime and by just five points going into the fourth quarter before Atlantic pulled away early in the fourth quarter.

“We talked about the importance of coming out and digging into the fivepoint deficit after the third quarter,” Creston JV coach Todd Jacobson said. “Atlantic outscored us 8-0 and we lacked quality offensive possessions to get back into the game. This group is really improving, though, and our goal is to put together four quality quarters.”

Kyle Somers led Creston with 11 points and Curtis Palmer added eight.

Creston (41) — Kyle Somers 11, Curtis Palmer 8, Ian Burns 4, Joe Eblen 4, Cole Higgins 4, Mark Rounds 3, Patrick Normandeau 3, Brenden McDowell 3, Dustin Merritt 1.

Halftime score — Atlantic 24, Creston 20.

Atlantic (54) — Chase Mullenix 17.

Safe: Andy Akers cross-

es home plate for an insidethe-park home run as the throw sails over catcher Cierra Featherstone’s head in the bottom of the first inning of a coed softball tournament in Afton Saturday. Held at the Afton Rec fields, the tournament welcomed five teams of a minimum of five women and five men. The tournament was a fundraiser for the East Union Art Club’s trip to the Art Institute of Chicago in the spring.

Akers hit two home runs in the game — one inside the park and one over the fence — but it wasn’t enough to keep his team from falling 21-10 to Featherstone’s team, “Hard Knocks.”
