Looking for a way to stay motivated for fitness and weight loss goals after the new year starts?

Team registration for Live Healthy Iowa 10 Week Fitness Challenge begins today online at livehealthyiowa.org.

Registration is $20 for each participant.

L i v e Healthy Iowa Director Nicole Bruce gave a 45 minute presentation to indi- Bruce viduals and business representatives at Greater Regional Medical Center Friday to encourage teams from

the area to participate.

Live Healthy Iowa started as a prototype in 2002 and has grown to more than 30,000 participants in all 99 counties in 2013. The web-based challenge offers a chance to track activity minutes and/or weight loss.

“We launched our website in 2007 and then relaunched a new platform just a couple of years ago,” Bruce said.

“So just a lot of upgrades that makes it easier for each individual user to get the access that they need to participate.”

New for 2014 is the ability to sync your Live Healthy Iowa profile with a variety of apps and devices. Individuals can also design specialized fitness plans and easier reporting features.

In Creston, the Southern Prairie YMCA fitness classes organize into teams to partic-

ipate in the challenge.

Individuals who do not have a membership will still be able to purchase Steffen a pass to some classes after registering for Live Healthy Iowa.

Participants can also take advantage of a discount for a statewide finale 5K. Bruce said it may be a good goal to use the specialized fitness plan to prepare for the race.

“Especially this time of year when people are really recommitting to fitness, people start out with a bang,” said Executive Director Jacki Steffen. “With Live Healthy Iowa, there’s incentives along the way, and the Y is going to be encouraging that, as well.”

Healthiest state Live Healthy Iowa is a supporter of Gov. Terry Branstad’s effort to make Iowa the healthiest state in the nation by 2016.

Iowa is currently ranked ninth in the polls, jumping from 16th in 2012.

Progress is measured by the Gallup-HealthwaysWell-Being Index which tracks five domains that make up an individuals well being — purpose, social, financial, community and physical.

“Making Iowa the healthiest state in the nation is not only critical to the economic viability of our state, but also critical to the quality of life for all Iowans,” Gov. Branstad said in a press release.

Union County Attorney Tim Kenyon recently filed a petition to remove Michael Fry — mayor of Arispe — from his mayoral duties.

Why? Fry allegedly compromised a credit card from Southern Prairie Solid Waste in October. According to a Union County Sheriff’s report, Fry allegedly used the agency’s credit card to purchase gasoline for his personal vehicle four times in September and twice in October. The total improper charges to the agency account is estimated at $330.

“I felt like — given the Fry facts presented to me and my office, I had no other alternative — under Iowa Code — than to file a petition for removal,” Kenyon said.

He was charged with to fourth-degree theft Kenyon and misconduct of office in October. He resigned from his position of chairman of the Southern Prairie Solid Waste Board shortly after the charges were filed.

However, he did not resign as Arispe mayor — an office he’s held since 2011.

Kenyon said he’s currently suspended from his mayoral duties until a hearing slated 9:30 a.m. Dec. 23 at the Union County Courthouse.

That day, a judge will decide if Fry is allowed to serve the remainder of his term as mayor of Arispe.

Arispe City Clerk Randi Cass said this morning Mayor Pro Tem Darcy Johnson will take over mayoral duties for Fry until the December hearing.

programs — including Live Healthy Iowa — to give Iowans the best opportunities to get involved and live healthier lives.

Challenge success Since 2002, Iowans have lost more than 1 million pounds and track 8.3 million hours of physical activity with Live Healthy Iowa.

Each team is composed of two-10 members. Team captains can help teammates track their activity. All participants have access to recipes, workout videos and health information.

“Everything is team based,” Bruce said. “That team component really provides the support and en-

vironment for success. It is also something that makes us unique. Any apps and devices that you have on your phone, that doesn’t give you a real person saying, ‘hey, how was your workout today?’”

Besides the 10 week challenge, Live Healthy Iowa offers programs all year to encourage attention to fitness all year.

Strut your pup is a “team” event for dog lovers to encourage them to go on walks.

It is $8 to register online and like Live Healthy Iowa, participants are connected to help encourage each other.

Other programs include burst your thirst, the next step and healthy families challenge.

DES MOINES — Mikayla Dolch of Southwest Valley High School was among the top students in the country selected to attend the World Food Prize Global Youth Institute Oct. 17-19 in Des Moines, during the Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium, which drew 1,500 people from more than 65 countries to discuss the world’s hunger and food security issues.

Students from across the United States and abroad researched global food security issues in the country of their choice, and then submitted papers on those critical topics, which they also presented to renowned experts and scientists.

At the three-day World Food Prize Global Youth Institute, Dolch and 150 other high school students had the opportunity to interact with a diverse group of internationally renowned World Food Prize Laureates and leaders in food, agriculture and international development.

Global Youth Institute attendees participated in symposium sessions featuring: • His Excellency Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, president of Iceland; • His Eminence Cardinal Peter K.A. Turkson of

Dolch presented a paper on the theme “Ending

Hunger In Our Lifetime: A Call to Action” and participated in roundtable discussions with experts in industry, science, academia and policy. Research for the paper focused on major issues in global agriculture, development and food security in developing countries.

Participants also helped with a hands-on service project packaging meals for Outreach International, a hunger-fighting organization that serves people in Iowa and abroad, toured an Iowa farm and took part in an Oxfam Hunger Banquet to experience the realities of global hunger and poverty.

At the Global Youth Institute, Dolch interacted with students and teachers from numerous states and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as Bangladesh, China, Mexico, Nigeria, Turkey and South Africa.

Participants also viewed the 2013 World Food Prize Laureate Award Ceremony.

Cross-state presidential rivalries building (MCT) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Rep. Paul D. Ryan are friends and political allies, one helping the other in 2012 when Walker faced a recall attempt and Ryan ran for vice president on the Republican ticket.

But when it comes to winning the White House, Walker has sounded less than supportive of a candidacy by his fellow Badger State lawmaker, suggesting someone more like himself.

“There’s no doubt, as much as I love Paul and some other people mentioned, in my mind it’s almost a given that not only for the future of the party but for the future of the country we need to elect either a current or a former governor,” Walker, a possible 2016 contestant, recently told USA Today.

The next race for president is still in the embryonic stage, with no major candidates declared and the election calendar not even set. But in a lineup unprecedented in modern times, the field of possible candidates includes several hailing from the same handful of states.

In addition to Wisconsin’s Ryan and Walker, the Republican field could include two hopefuls from Texas — Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Ted Cruz — and two from Florida, former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio.

Among Democrats, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is seen as a prohibitive favorite, though her home-state governor, New York’s Andrew Cuomo, has also been mentioned as a possible candidate in 2016.

Some may end up deferring to others. Even before he finished a round of Washington book-tour interviews, Walker had qualified his comments about Ryan, telling reporters the eight-term congressman was “one of the exceptions” to his beyond-the-Beltway rule.

But if just a handful of those same-state prospects were to run, the result would

be a contest more sharply competitive than usual, as candidates would vie in not just the usual steeplechase of cross-country caucuses and primaries but also would fight for home-state donors, strategists, campaign volunteers and even bragging rights as a favorite son or daughter.

It is a prospect that some are dreading. “It’s going to be awkward as hell if both of them run for president at the same time,” said Tom Slade, a former Florida Republican Party chairman and longtime GOP activist, speaking of Bush and Rubio. “I’ll probably go fishing until they sort it out. Then help whoever the Republican nominee is.”

For now, protocol — and political strategy — require prospective White House candidates to eschew interest in anything beyond the 2014 midterm elections.

Some, like Walker and Ryan, have to win reelection next year before they can safely look ahead to a presidential bid in 2016.

That has not, however, stopped some early sniping.

Perry, who is serving out his last term as governor and mulling a second run for president after a failed 2012 attempt, has taken several shots at Cruz, who was elected to the Senate just last year. Cruz’s unremitting opposition to President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and leading role in October’s government shutdown have made him a favorite of tea party conservatives. Already, he has ventured to several early-voting 2016 states.

the education reforms will cost $60 million annually until they become incorporated into the yearly K-12 state aid formula.

LSA documents indicated the state closed fiscal 2013 last June with a $927.9 million ending balance surplus on top of the $649.6 million in the cash reserve and economic emergency fund.

The current fiscal year’s surplus is projected at $854.1 million while the fiscal 2015 surplus is projected at $622.1 million.

Using historical data of past economic cycles, the LSA analysts devised a recession scenario employing the same spending assumptions but projecting two years of 2 percent declines in state revenue for fiscal years 2016 and 2017.

That would be followed by a rebound of 6.7 percent yearly growth during a three-year recovery.

Under that outlook, the budget had a $66.8 million imbalance in fiscal 2016 that grew to $993.3 million the following year.

DES MOINES (MCT) — State lawmakers got some sobering projections from tax and budget experts Friday indicating that multiyear commitments made last session could erase an $854 million surplus by fiscal 2018, even if they maintain modest spending growth and don’t embark on new initiatives.

The fiscal picture painted by Legislative Services Agency (LSA) senior analysts Dave Reynolds and Jeff Robinson got significantly worse when they factored in the possibility of an economic recession during the study period through fiscal 2020 that could blow a gaping hole in the state budget under a worse-case scenario.

“I think there’s this expectation around the building that we’re flush with money,” said Sen. Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City.

“This would kind of indicate that may not be the situation.”

Using assumptions of 3.8 percent average yearly revenue growth and annual spending increases of 2 percent for K-12 school aid, 4.8 percent for Medicaid, 2.5 percent for employee salaries and benefits, and 1.7 percent for other government programs, the LSA fiscal experts projected legislators would have to make a $40 million adjustment in fiscal 2018 to meet the state’s expenditure limitation law.

“The projections are fairly reasonable,” Reynolds told members of the Legislature’s Fiscal Committee.

Reynolds noted the figures were not predictions but rather benchmarks intended to help lawmakers gauge the effect of property tax cuts and education reforms they passed last session.

The property tax relief will grow to $278.7 million a year in fiscal 2017 while

No chewing at the table Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about using CHEWINGTOBACCO in public: “I read your column about spitting in public being disgusting. I have something even worse! I was at a child’s birthday party inside one of those bouncing places, and a young man was sitting at our table.

He started chewing tobacco, and he used his drinking cup to spit in as he was chewing, right at the table. I found it so disgusting that I had to move tables. — G.T. in San Antonio” Yuck and double yuck! It’s not only disgusting to watch, but it can cause cancer in the throat, stomach, tongue, mouth and esophagus, among just a few ramifications! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other giftwrap ideas: • Newspapers from home for someone out of town.

• Sheet music for a musician;

Hints from Heloise comic pages for children.

• A receiving blanket for a baby gift.

• Use pretty leftover fabric.

• A map for a traveler.

— Heloise RUGS ON CARPET Dear Heloise: My kitchen is carpeted, and I have a half-circle mat at the sink and a small mat at the doorway. Nothing I have tried will keep them from gradually moving out of position. I cannot find any product that is designed for rugs on carpet. Tape, upholstery tacks and nonslip pads don’t work, and I don’t want to nail them to the wooden floor underneath the carpet. Any suggestions? — J. Holloway, Fort Wayne, Ind. I, too, have carpeting in my kitchen. They do make nonslip pads specifically designed for rugs on carpeting. Look at a carpet or home-improvement store for the exact product.

Also, a heavier rug will stay put better than a light one. I use a large carpet sample (you can buy them pretty cheaply)

If the one by the sink is next to the underside of the cabinet, you might be able to secure the edge of the rug to the cabinet.

It may take a combination of things to stop the rugs from moving. Keep trying, and I hope these hints help! — Heloise PANTRY RAID Dear Heloise: Here is a hint I use every few months to clean out my pantry: Go through and pull out the extra stuff. Then I look up recipes using what I have. For example, if I have a can of diced tomatoes, I search “recipes with canned diced tomatoes.” Then I look through what comes up and pick a recipe I like.

Horoscope Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful, and pay attention to everything you say and do. Today’s Full Moon can make you accident-prone.

This means verbally as well as physically.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Disputes about financial matters might arise today because of the Full Moon energy. You might not know what to put first: your own financial interests or those of others. Tough call.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Naturally this will make you more emotional and excitable with relationships.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon is your ruler, which is why you feel the Full Moon tension. Today’s Full Moon is more subtle, because it takes place in a hidden part of your chart. Nevertheless, you feel it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Difficulties with female acquaintances might arise today, especially in group situations, because of the tension of today’s Full Moon. Just be agreeable and patient with everyone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the Full Moon is taking place at the top of your chart.

This is the only time all year that this happens. This is why tension with authority figures might exist. Be cool.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Avoid controversial subjects like politics and religion, because today’s Full Moon will only aggravate these kinds of discussions. Wait until another day, when things are more mellow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disputes about shared property, inheritances, insurance matters, taxes and debt might arise because of the culminating energy of the Full Moon today. Just cope as best you can.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today the only Full Moon all year that is directly opposite your sign is taking place. This will increase tension with partners and close friends, but this angst is gone in 48 hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today’s Full Moon could create tension with co-workers, customers and clients. To off-

set this, you will have to be patient and tolerant. This can only benefit you in the long run.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Parents must be patient with children today, because everyone — including the family dog — feels the tension of today’s Full Moon. Stay calm.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Family disputes might flare up because of strong emotions due to today’s Full Moon. Don’t take what others say personally.

YOU BORN TODAY You are disciplined and hardworking.

You also are a practical realist. You like tangible results because you live in the physical world. You have amazing powers of concentration and can accomplish a lot when you set your mind to it. This year, something you’ve been involved with for nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new.

The number of points scored in the NFL Sunday, a single-day NFL record.

NATIONAL DIGEST

On a roll AMES — Iowa State rallied Friday for an 8582 victory against 23rdranked Iowa at Hilton Coliseum.

It was a late-night win that provided the 8-0 17th-ranked Cyclones the program’s best start since Tim Floyd’s 1996-97 outfit won its first 10. It moved the Cyclones up the RPI ladder to seventh as they remained the Big 12 Conference’s lone unbeaten.

The Hawkeyes led 4333 with 1:12 to play in the first half. Georges Niang started the ISU comeback with a jumper and free throw, then his reverse layup on an inbounds play with 20 seconds left resulted in an 83-82 lead.

Chiefs sail OAKLAND, Calif. — Jamaal Charles turned the Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff clinching party into a game-long celebration right from the start.

Charles scored the first of his team record-tying five touchdowns on a 49yard screen pass on the first play from scrimmage, sending the Chiefs to a 5631 win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday that clinched at least a wildcard spot.

“A big part of this team depends on me, Charles said. “Once I’m healthy this offense can go a long way and this team can go a long way.”

Alex Smith threw four of his five TD passes to Charles, going 17 for 20 for 287 yards to make the Chiefs the fourth team ever to make the playoffs a year after losing at least 14 games. Kansas City (11-3) is tied for first place in the AFC West with Denver but needs help to win the division because the Broncos swept the season series.

Matt McGloin threw four interceptions and lost a fumble while sharing time with Terrelle Pryor as Oakland (4-10) allowed the most points in franchise history and lost its fourth straight game. The Raiders had seven turnovers overall.

Panthers pick up pair of weekend wins Panther

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — The Creston boys basketball pulled away from a pesky ADM team here Saturday in a 70-59 win, while also earning valuable experience playing at Wells Fargo Arena.

Jay Wolfe scored Creston’s first 10 points of the game, as the Panthers darted to an early 11-point lead at 20-9 when Alex Nielsen hit Cole Thompson for a layup of an inbound play early in the second quarter.

“Early, we got a couple of turnovers, hit a few shots,” Creston head coach Billy Hiatt said. “This big gym is hard for us to play in sometimes, as far as shooting outside. We kind of came out flat, a little sluggish — I think a little bit of a hangover from last night playing Atlantic on the road.”

But, ADM used a 13-2 run to take a brief lead at 22-21 midway through the quarter, before entering the half trail-

ing Creston 30-26.

Creston responded with a 10-4 run to open the second half capped off by a Thompson 3-pointer from the wing, rebuilding a 10-point lead.

“We kind of went to a press on them, caused some turnovers,” Hiatt said. “We started attacking the rim.

Cole Thompson started playing well, started attacking the glass, started getting to the free throw line.”

Thompson took over in the final quarter, scoring eight of his team-high 19 points in the final quarter. Six of those eight Thompson points came from the free throw line in the closing minutes.

LEON — Team balance carried Creston/O-M to a surprisingly large margin over third-ranked Albia Friday night at the Central Decatur Invitational.

The unranked Panthers already had a lead of more than 50 points after the semifinal round, where seven Panthers

advanced to the finals.

Then, Creston/O-M won three of those title matches and went 5-1 in third-place matches to win going away, 292 to 206, over the Albia lineup that featured five state-ranked wrestlers. (A sixth, second-ranked Griffin Osing, was out of the lineup, costing the Demons approximately 25 points.)

But, Albia’s five champions weren’t enough to overcome the scoring onslaught

Creston/O-M champions were Chase Shiltz (145 pounds), Gavin Leith (152) and Trevor Frain (182).

Shiltz did it the hard way, going through the 145 bracket unseeded and starting with a pigtail match just to get into the main bracket. Then he defeated top-seeded Erik Freed of Mount Ayr, 7-1. In the finals he beat 10th-ranked Caleb White of Albia, 3-1.

“It was a really good day for Chase,” Frain said. “He was seeded eighth and had to go in the pigtails, but that was all right because he was warmed up before wrestling Freed.”

With Albia’s Osing out, the 152 class was wide open and Leith got the No. 1 seed.

The Panther senior got to the finals with a 49-second fall and 11-0 major decision.

Then he pinned Central Decatur’s Wyman Reed in 4:50.

“That was Gavin’s first time this year at 152 and I felt good about him placing high there,” Frain said. “That was the best day he’s had in a long time. Now he needs to be consistent with that.”

The Creston girls gained their first Hawkeye 10 Conference victory in a defensive-oriented 40-34 victory over Atlantic here Friday.

The win improved the Panthers to 1-1 in league play and 3-3 overall heading into Tuesday’s varsity doubleheader at No. 1-ranked Harlan.

Atlantic fell to 0-2 in the conference and 1-5 overall.

It was not a pretty offensive game on either side, as the Panthers tried to grind out scoring opportunities against the Trojan zone defense, and Atlantic struggled against the Panthers’ aggressive defense.

Creston won the game despite 22 percent shooting from the field and 17-of-30 shooting at the free throw line. The Panthers had 10 steals to Atlantic’s six, but struggled to convert with 23 turnovers in the game to Atlantic’s 20.

“In the first half, we got about four steals that we got nothing out of because we turned it over on the other end,” Creston coach Larry McNutt said. “Defensively I thought we were pretty good. Early on that kind of set the tone and we got a lead.”

The Panthers led 7-3 in the opening minutes and 21-14 at halftime. The margin reached 13 points at 3421 late in the third quarter.

Atlantic staged a rally in the fourth quarter, drawing within two possessions (34-28) on Erin Olsen’s 3-pointer with 2:10 left.

The Panthers continued to play good defense and made just enough free throws down the stretch by guards Brenna Baker and Chelcee Downing to hold off the Trojans.

Natalie Mostek led the Panthers with 11 points and Baker finished with nine.

Jenna Taylor tallied eight.

Packers rally ARLINGTON, Texas — If this was Matt Flynn’s last start in place of Aaron Rodgers, it was quite a memorable one.

Flynn threw four touchdown passes in the second half, Eddie Lacy had the winning score on a 1-yard plunge after an interception by Tony Romo gave them one more chance, and the Green Bay Packers matched the biggest comeback in franchise history in a 37-36 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Romo tossed two interceptions in the final 3 minutes, the first one giving Green Bay a chance for the go-ahead score with the Cowboys in position to run out the clock with a 36-31 lead.

Lacy scored with 1:31 to go for Green Bay’s first lead since the first quarter and after the Packers trailed 26-3 at halftime.

Playing on the same field where Rodgers was the MVP when they won the 2011 Super Bowl, the Packers matched the 1982 team in a September game against the Los Angeles Rams for the largest rally.

Area boys basketball Lenox 44, East Union 40 AFTON — Lenox cocoach Steve Tussey got the upper hand in the battle of father vs. son, as the Lenox Tigers scored a 44-40 win over East Union here on Friday, knocking off Thad Tussey’s Eagles.

East Union built an early lead in the game, but Spencer Brown scored 16 first-half points to lead the Tigers into the half with 24-23 lead.

“We played well out of the gate against their halfcourt trap and built an early lead,” Thad Tussey said. “Defensive mistakes let Lenox cut into the lead.”

East Union scored just two points in the third quarter, and shot only seven free throws for the game.

“Those numbers won’t win many games,” Thad Tussey said. “Our defensive effort was better the second half.

Our kids are building character by handling adversity better and better, and responding to challenges. We don’t want to be an easy W.” Jesse Akers led the Eagles with 10 points in the loss.

Cole Campbell added nine points, while Trevor Barnett dropped in seven. Brandon Hulsey and Dustin Hoyt each netted six points. Sean Schmitz added two points.

Brown led Lenox with 20 points, while Caleb Lange a d d e d 12 more.

F r a n k M a r t i n e z Brown scored seven points, as Dawson Tullberg scored three and Todd Stoaks added two points.

Nodaway Valley 74, Southwest Valley 49 CORNING — Nodaway Valley held a 26-4 first-quarter lead and never looked back in a 74-49 win over Southwest Valley here on Friday.

“Our press and rebounding were the keys to the game,” Nodaway Valley head coach Darrell Burmeister said.

The Wolverines forced 36 turnovers, 27 of which came on steals. They also outrebounded Southwest Valley 31-19, with 14 offensive rebounds.

TJ Bower led the Wolverines with 29 points, six assists and six steals. Jackson Lamb chipped in 15 points with five assists and seven steals.

Delson Grantham added 12

“Nodaway Valley jumped out to an early lead on great shooting in the first half,” Wolverine head coach Tom Thompson said. “Shooting 5-of-8 from 3 makes the game look easy, but Southwest Valley really turned on the pressure in the second half, which caused NV to turn it over a lot.

Josie Carter led the Wolverines with 17 points, including 3-of-5 shooting from 3-point land, to go Carter

Sophomore guard Taylor Briley was held out Friday and will likely sit out Tuesday as well after suffering a concussion last week against Shenandoah.

foul trouble for much of the game after scoring the first 10 points for Creston. Junior post player Alex Nielsen added 10 points, while Christian Groumoutis netted seven and Trey Benson scored six.

With Wolfe averaging 23.3 points per game through the team’s first three games, Hiatt said it was important to have other play- Wolfe ers step up Saturday when Wolfe was on the bench with foul trouble.

“We’ve talked about it at practice, talked about it even after games,” he said. “We’re going to have to play as a team, and we’re going to have to have other guys contribute besides Jay, for nights he has an off night, has foul trouble or an injury. You never know when a guy will go down, so you’ve got to have a guy step up in his place and keep the tide going.”

The Panthers improved to 4-0 for the season with the win over ADM, while the Tigers drop to 2-3.

Hiatt said it was important to get this year’s players some quality playing time at Wells Fargo Arena.

“Coming up here, the guys we started tonight, they don’t have a lot of experience up here,” he said. “They played some when we had quite a bit of success last year. But actually playing from the start, it’s a good experience for them.

Hopefully we can come back up here again this year.”

The Creston seventhgrade girls defeated Winterset Thursday, 37-29, in its closest contest of the season to date.

Brielle Baker had 11 points, eight steals and five rebounds for Creston (40). Megan Haley had nine points and Keisa Stewart added eight points. Taylor Buxton collected a teamhigh 15 rebounds along with six steals.

Creston led 12-8 and 2416 after the first two periods.

“It wasn’t our cleanest offensive game by any means,” Creston coach Larry Peterson said, “but I thought we did the things we talked about on defense.

Most impressive was the post defense by Megan Haley on their 6-foot-2 center.

She fronted her and denied the entry passes, allowing only two points by that player in the second half after a 12-point first half.”

Creston held off Win-

Saturday’s win against ADM came on the heels of a hard-fought Hawkeye 10 Conference road win against Atlantic on Friday, 43-39.

“It was a battle, back and forth,” Hiatt said. “Atlantic played well. They have a new coach there and had a lot of energy. It’s a tough place to play there.”

The Panthers trailed 13-8 after the first quarter, 20-16 at halftime and 31-29 at the end of the third quarter.

With just :23 left in the game and Atlantic leading by one, first-year Trojan head coach Alan Jenkins was whistled for a technical foul, giving the Panthers two free throws and the ball.

Creston converted on both free throws, and pulled out the 43-39 win.

“It was close,” Hiatt said.

“He got that technical, and it was big. We got two free throws and the ball out of it.

Kind of benefitted our way. I was really proud of our guys.

That was the first time I’ve beaten Atlantic since I’ve been here, so that was a big win for our program.”

The win moved Creston to 2-0 in Hawkeye 10 play, leaving the Panthers as one of only three conference teams unbeaten in league play. Creston joins Kuemper Catholic (3-1 overall, 3-0 in Hawkeye 10) and Harlan (3-0 overall and 2-0 in Hawkeye 10) as unbeatens in the conference.

It sets up a big week for the Panthers, as they travel to Harlan on Tuesday and Kuemper Catholic on Friday.

JUNIOR VARSITY The Creston JV team improved to 2-1 for the season with a 51-36 win over Atlantic on Friday.

“Our defense played great the entire game,” Creston JV coach Michael West said.

“Our defense set up our fast break and offense, and that’s what won the game. It was our most complete game thus far.”

Sam Hartsock led a balanced attack with 14 points, while Christian Groumoutis netted 13. McClain Haines and Jake Miller each scored nine points.

FRESHMEN The Creston freshmen posted a 60-28 road win over Atlantic on Friday.

Cody Crawford led the way with 26 points, while Seth Thompson added 10 points and Deavon Reese scored seven.

“I thought we shot the ball extremely well,” Creston freshman coach Anthony Donahoo said. “We came out strong and kept the pressure on the entire game. Cody and Seth were shooting from the arc really well, so it opened it up for our posts to work inside. Defensively we came out in a zone, but played it aggressively, which I liked.”

terset 24-23 in the second game. It was tight all the way, tied 12-12 at halftime with an 18-17 lead entering the final period. Jesse Vicker’s nine points led Creston.

Devon Buls had a teamhigh eight rebounds and six points.

“What a great experience for that group, to learn how to finish a close game and be successful,” Peterson said.

Creston concludes the pre-holiday portion of its schedule Tuesday at Shenandoah.

Trevor Frain won by two pins on his way to the championship bout against Trenton Wells of CD. Frain squeaked out a 4-3 win.

“The (CD) kid scored on three escapes and Trevor wasn’t ever in trouble against the kid who beat out (Adam) Baker for state last year,” coach Frain said, “but it was kind of an uneventful match.”

Third-seeded Spencer Wray got second behind top ranked Shadow Leshan at 132 after a big victory by fall in overtime against second-seeded Tanner Mertz of Red Oak in the semifinals.

Baker was second at 170 to Albia standout Dalton Folkerts, after another close (1-0) victory in the semifinals over Chariton’s Connor Grgurich.

Spencer Benton of Van Meter pinned Seth Maitlen in the 220-pound finals to give the Panthers another runner-up finish. One of the big stories of the day for the Panthers came at 195, where freshman Kadon Hulett took second behind fourth-ranked Carter Isley.

Hulett was seeded sixth and made it to the finals on the strength of a pin and 16-7 major decision over second-seeded Jarret Maggard of PCM. “Kadon responded well and looked dominant until going against Isley, who is on another level right now,” Frain said.
