Union County Fairgrounds Government approved for Dekko pledge won’t permit oil

pipeline under Missouri River

The Union County Fair Board plans to update the fairgrounds buildings with two large buildings: one to hold swine, sheep and a show arena, and the other to hold cattle. Poultry, rabbits and other small animals will be housed in the two southern barns.

By BAILEY POOLMAN are,

we are planning on replacing all of them with one building,” said A d a m - Adamson son, who is also the building committee chair.

Originally, board members looked into providing one building for the upgrade, which was decided after the past Union County Fair over the summer, when it became apparent they had a problem: the current buildings couldn’t hold any more show animals.

“We were extremely happy,” Adamson said when he and the other board members found out they received the pledge. “We knew from the word ‘go’ on these buildings, we had said the only way we could do it

AFTON — After months of planning, Ben Adamson and his fellow Union County Fair Board members received word Nov. 15 they were approved for a significant pledge from Dekko Foundation.

Adamson, Union County Fair Board vice president, said the board will receive a total of about $500,000 from the foundation as a pledge to accompany the rest of the cost to upgrade the fairgrounds.

Dekko Foundation provides money for various projects aimed at promoting education.

“What we’re going to do, or what the plan is, where the existing cattle barns, hog barns, sheep barns, small animal barns

was if we had large support from the Dekko Foundation, and Dekko really liked our proposal.”

Pledge Dekko Foundation offered support in the form of a pledge beginning as a match. For every $1 the board receives for the building project, the foundation will pledge $1, with a maximum of $100,000.

When the board has successfully raised $100,000, Dekko Foundation offered a second pledge of $400,000 to be payable once the complete amount has been accomplished.

The total amount of the project is estimated at $1,545,000, and the board now has 501(c)3 status, allowing the members to accept large donations from private organizations or people.

“4-H’s formula of encouraging young people to

pursue projects that interest them is so effective,” said Sharon Smith, Dekko Foundation program director. “It helps youth build persistence, responsibility, respect and confidence. For that reason, we are pleased to come alongside Union County to support this opportunity to improve the community’s 4-H facilities.”

Building In the past, the board wanted to build one large building similar to other Iowa fairgrounds designs.

However, that plan did not work because of elevation issues. The next idea was to build two separate animal barns.

The plan is proposed at 110 feet wide by 240 feet long and will house swine, sheep and a new show arena.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has refused to grant permission for the Dakota Access oil pipeline to cross under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota. American Indians say it’s a major victory in their push to reroute construction of the pipeline that they say could harm Standing Rock Sioux cultural sites and drinking water supply.

Pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners says the 1,200-mile pipeline through the Dakotas, Iowa and Illinois will be safe and that the Corps’ decision is politically motivated.

Here’s a guide to the latest developments and key back-

ground about the protest:

Easement denial The Corps on Sunday denied an easement for a pipeline crossing beneath Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir and the source of drinking water for the nearby Standing Rock Reservation. Assistant Secretary for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy said her decision was based on the need to consider alternative routes.

Protesters who have been camped near the pipeline route for months have praised the decision. North Dakota leaders including Gov. Jack Dalrymple criticized it.

Trump taps former campaign rival Carson as housing secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump, moving to complete formation of his Cabinet and decide other key posts, chose former campaign rival Ben Carson on Monday to be secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Trump’s decision, announced by his transition office, comes as the real estate mogul continues a series of interviews, meetings with aides and other deliberations aimed at forming his administration. He announced several Cabinet ap-

pointees last week.

In a statement, Trump said he was “thrilled to nominate” Carson, describing the retired neurosurgeon as Trump having “a brilliant mind” and saying he “is passionate about strengthening communities and families within those communities.”

INSIDE DEKKO:

DEATHS Robert Foland Lorimor

Robert “Bob” Bruce Foland, 86, of Lorimor died Saturday, Dec. 3, 2016, at Westbridge Care and Rehabilitation Center in Winterset.

Services will be 10 a.m.

Wednesday, Dec. 7, at Kale Funeral Home, 301 S. Main St., in Osceola with the Rev. Foland Dwayne Henrichs officiating. Visitation with family present will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6, at the funeral home. Interment will be in Murray Cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be directed to his family for a fitting tribute to be decided later. Online condolences may be left at www.kalefuneralhome.com.

Robert “Bob” Bruce Foland, son of Eldon Johnny Foland and Ruby Estell (Baker) Foland, was born Feb. 20, 1930, in Torrington, Wyoming. Bob grew up in the Grand River area and graduated from Grand River high School in 1948.

On Aug. 26, 1950, he married Baunadine Perry in Grand River. Bob worked for several farmers in the Grand River and Thayer areas before purchasing his own farm south of Thayer.

TRUMP: CONT. FROM | 1A

Carson had been coy about joining the new administration, saying shortly after Trump’s election victory that he wasn’t Carson certain he’d fit into a Cabinet-style role. The discussion at that time centered on speculation that Carson might be selected to head the sprawling Department of Health and Human Services.

“Ben shares my optimism about the future of our country,” Trump said, “and is part of ensuring that this is a presidency representing all Americans.”

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Carson had no credentials for the job and was a “disconcerting and disturbingly unqualified choice.” She said the country deserves someone with “relevant experience to protect the rights of homeowners and renters.”

Carson was among the 16 Republican candidates who challenged Trump for the Republican nomination. He was a favorite of religious conservatives and a strong fundraiser, but his team burned through money quickly and he failed to win any of the early primary contests.

Trump treated Carson harshly during the primary, saying he had a “patholog-

He farmed for many years before retiring in 1985, when he sold the farm and moved to Lorimor. He was an Archer Oil Dealer for more than 45 years. He delivered the Sunday Des Moines Register and Creston News Advertiser.

Robert is survived by his wife of more than 66 years, Baunadine Foland of Lorimor; son Craig (Julie) Foland of Bedford, son Brian (Carmen) Foland of Murray and daughter Bonnie (Mike) Decker of Lorimor; grandchildren, Eric (Melinda) Foland of Afton, Bruce (Heather) Foland of Osceola, Dawn (James) Petrik of Osceola, Dillon (Peyten) Decker of Lorimor and Sarah Brown of Des Moines; great-grandchildren, Trevor Henry, Daniel Giles, Rylee Petrik, Owen Petrik, Mason Petrik, Reece Petrik, Tysen Decker, Maya Decker and Marcy; sisters-in-law, Marge Foland of Phoenix, Arizona, Louise Driskill of Murray, Katie (Mike) Kelly of Illinois and Linda (Jack) Williams of Des Moines; several nieces and nephews; as well as other relatives and many friends.

As a Trump supporter, Carson was both loyal and critical. He conceded that Trump had “major defects” and said at one point that he would have preferred a scenario other than Trump winning the Republican primary.

Last week, Trump announced that he planned to nominate former Goldman Sachs executive Steven Mnuchin as his Treasury secretary and billionaire investor Wilbur Ross to lead the Commerce Department.

He chose Betsy DeVos to be secretary of education and Elaine Chao, the wife of Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, to be transportation secretary.

Trump also has turned to retired Marine Gen. James Mattis to be secretary of defense.

He now has expanded his pool of candidates for secretary of state, raising a question about whether former CIA Director David Petraeus’ guilty plea for leaking classified information disqualifies him to serve as the nation’s top diplomat.

Trump’s aides had confirmed that the president-elect had settled on four finalists for the post.

But over the weekend, two people close to the transition told The Associated Press that Trump is moving away from two of the four: former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.

“That’s one building. The other building, where the existing show arena is at today, we’re going to take that arena down and we’re going to build a 100 foot wide by 160 foot long cattle barn,” Adamson said.

The current two cattle barns to the far south on the fairgrounds will house the poultry, rabbits and other small animals.

Adamson said the plans are a bit oversized, but he and the other board members wanted to plan for the future to prevent being back in this same position quick-

Energy Transfer Partners, of Dallas, said the decision is politically motivated and that President Barack Obama’s administration is just delaying the matter until he leaves office.

Protesters, who describe themselves as “water protectors,” say they have no plans to leave despite the Corps’ decision, with President-elect Donald Trump, a pipeline supporter, set to take office in January.

The company last month asked a federal judge to allow it to move ahead with the river crossing. A decision is pending.

Eviction notice The Corps said in a letter to Standing Rock Sioux tribal leader Dave Archambault late last month that all federal lands north of the Cannonball River will be closed to public access Dec. 5 for “safety concerns.” The order includes the sprawling encampment called Oceti Sakowin, or Seven Council Fires camp, that’s a living protest against the $3.8 billion pipeline.

The Corps cited North Dakota’s oncoming winter and contentious clashes between protesters and police.

The agency says “it has no plans for forcible removal,” but anyone on land north of the river after the deadline

ly.

Timeline To kick off the fundraising, Union County Fair Board members plan to have a reception and dinner at Three Mile Lake Lodge next month. The details have not been finalized, but the board plans to unveil the official architectural rendering and host a formal event to discuss the project.

“This is an outstanding opportunity. Not just for Afton or Creston, but for Union County as a whole, to where we have an outside organization willing to invest half a million dollars,” Adamson said. “Now it’s up to us to come together to make this happen.”

The next step in the timeline is getting more accurate amounts from the three original contractors who bid on the project. Board members will review the updated bids, select a contractor and begin construction after the

will be trespassing and may be prosecuted.

The agency previously said it would not evict protesters because they are exercising their right to free speech.

North Dakota officials contend the protesters need a permit. Dalrymple last week issued a “mandatory evacuation” for the main encampment but said no one would be forcibly removed.

More than 550 people from throughout the country have been arrested since August. In a late-November clash between police and protesters near the path of the pipeline, officers used tear gas, rubber bullets and large water hoses in freezing weather. Organizers said at least 17 protesters were taken to the hospital, some for hypothermia and one with a serious arm injury. One officer was injured.

North Dakota officials say law enforcement at the protest site has cost the state about $20 million.

Disputed land The Oceti Sakowin camp is the overflow from smaller private and permitted protest sites nearby. It began to grow in August and has been called the largest gathering of Native American tribes in a century.

Standing Rock tribal members and other Native Americans believe the land with the encampment is

2017 Union County Fair.

However, this is all dependent on when the funds can be raised.

“If we’re successful with these buildings and getting this project completed, we have other plans in place,” Adamson said. “They’re not set in stone, though. We will potentially be doing some needed renovations to the horse barn, some needed renovations to the exhibit hall and the ASPIRE building and things like that. This is not a one-and-done project.”

To give a donation for the new fairgrounds facilities, contact Adamson at 641202-0091 or any of the other board members Chad Rieck, Marla Gilliam, Tim Loudon, Cole Miller or Vince Taylor.

Numbers A main reason for the upgrade is the number of kids active in 4-H has increased in the past few years. There were 194 4-H participants

rightly owned by the Sioux through a more than century-old treaty with the U.S. government.

Protest organizers said they don’t intend to leave or stop their acts of civil disobedience.

The origins Energy Transfer Partners got federal permits for the pipeline in July, about two years after it was announced. The pipeline is projected to move a half-million barrels of crude oil daily to an existing pipeline in Patoka, Illinois, for shipment to Midwest and Gulf Coast markets.

Supporters say the pipeline will have safeguards against leaks, and is a safer way to move oil than trucks and trains, especially after a handful of fiery — and sometimes deadly — derailments of trains carrying North Dakota crude.

The Standing Rock Sioux, whose reservation straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border, are suing federal regulators for approving the pipeline. They have challenged the Corps’ decision to grant permits at more than 200 water crossings and argue that the pipeline less than a mile upstream of the reservation could affect drinking water for more than 8,000 tribal members and millions downstream.

The tribe hasn’t fared well in court. A federal judge in

in the 2011-12 year, 197 in the 2012-13 year, 205 in the 2013-14 year and 221 in the 2014-15 year.

Also, the number of animals shown increased from 2013 to 2015. Beef cattle animals increased from 130 to 174, sheep went from 124 to 143, goats increased from 20 to 29, horses went from 48 to 54, pigs from 99 to 120 and rabbits from 41 to 91.

Poultry increased from 32 other poultry in 2013 to 62 other poultry and 105 broilers in 2014. There were no poultry shown in 2015 because of the avian flu epidemic.

Clover Kids participants, who are children in kindergarten through third grade, have also been consistently around 100 for the past five years.

“It’s all about kids, and it’s not just a limited number of kids,” Adamson said.

“It’s for any kid in Union County that wants to be in FFA or 4-H.”

September denied its request to block construction of the entire pipeline. An appeal is pending.

Missing link The pipeline is largely complete except for the section that would pump oil under Lake Oahe.

The Corps of Engineers granted Energy Transfer Partners the permits needed for the crossing in July, but the agency decided in September that further analysis was warranted given the tribe’s concerns, leading to Sunday’s decision.

The company responded by asking U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to declare that it has the right to lay pipe under Lake Oahe. The judge isn’t likely to issue a decision until January at the earliest.

Obama raised the possibility of rerouting the pipeline in early November, and Archambault has said that would be acceptable to the tribe provided the new route isn’t near the reservation. But Energy Transfer Partners CEO Kelcy Warren told The Associated Press that that the pipeline won’t be rerouted and the company has no alternative than to stick to its plan.

Trump holds stock in Energy Transfer Partners.

Pipeline opponents worry that Trump’s investments could affect any decision he makes on the project as president.

Hartman, Panther girls bowling team takes season opener

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Creston’s girls bowling team began its season looking to replace a pair of four-year starters in Charlie Parcher and Madison Hance.

The Panthers may have found suitable leaders who can step up and help lead the Panthers.

Senior Livi Hartman gave the Panthers a strong effort as they rolled their way to a 2,050-1,646 win over Norwalk at Pine Valley Bowling Center.

Hartman bowled a team-best series of 356. Her score was only three pins off the best performance of the day overall by either a girl or a boy.

The best score was thrown by Norwalk’s Caleb Bangs, who scored a 359.

Behind Hartman’s efforts, the Panthers started their season off the right way.

“We needed someone to step up and be a leader,” said assistant coach Jerry Hartman. “Livi did a really nice job taking up that leadership role.”

Hartman was consistent in her two-series game in the Bakers. “(Head coach) Ron (Pendegraft) has been working with her on a daily basis, making sure we get her line put down, making minor adjustments she needs to do. It was a real-

ly good first outing for her.”

Laura Weis was second on the team with a 270 singles series.

Weis came in with a minimal amount of varsity experience.

“For her to come out and roll as consistent as she did was very encouraging,” Hartman said. “She hit the line, hit a mark. She did a good job coming back and picking up spares. She had a really nice game.”

The Panthers led 1,543-1,248 after singles and extended that margin in the Baker games.

Saturday’s efforts showcased what the Panthers have been working on in practice can show in the meets.

“It says a lot about the kids,”

Hartman said. “They’re taking practice real serious. They’re trying to get better every day. It comes through on game day.”

On the boys side, Creston fell 2,150-1,967.

Creston was rallying in the Baker games, having entered them trailing 1,622-1,284.

“In the Bakers, we really started coming on,” Hartman said. “That was pretty cool to see. It tells me we’re better than what we showed in individual frames.”

The Panthers picked off 100 pins in the first two games of Bakers.

“I really commend them,” Hartman said. “They didn’t give up.

They fought hard towards the end.”

Tay Wright led the Panthers with a 293 two-game individual series.

Dylan Linch was second with a 293.

Zac Hague had a 285.

“Tay did a nice job throughout the day,” Hartman said. “Dylan Linch had a good series. He was right up there in the top 5. Zach Hague kind of struggled. He struggled to find that line. Normally he’s 30-40 pins higher than what he did. All three of those guys did pretty well.”

The difference was Norwalk picking up their spares more often to Creston, Hartman noted.

“We preach it every day,” Hartman said. “Get strikes when you can and when don’t, pick up spares.

You look at the top performers and that’s what they did.”

UP NEXT — Creston’s girls and boys are at Red Oak Tuesday.

“We’ll definitely have to be at the top of our game,” Hartman said. “Red Oak throws really well.

They’re a perennial state bowling team. We’ll have to do well.”

Girls — Creston 2,050, Norwalk 1,646 Creston individual scores — Jordan Swedlund — 101, 83, 184; Sophie Schuler — 105, 130, 235; Laura Weis — 122, 148, 270; Casey Batten — 124, 122, 246; Kim Orr — 150, 102, 252; Livi Hartman — 172, 184, 356.

Rutherford’s big night Panther senior erupts, Creston girls top Glenwood n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Creston’s Cammy Rutherford has been a regular in the gym working on her basketball game The senior’s hard work is starting to translate on the court.

She showed it against Glenwood Friday.

Rutherford poured in a career-high 19 points as the Panthers rallied past Glenwood 55-46 in Hawkeye 10 Conference play.

She had her big night on an efficient 8-of-14 shooting.

“It’s great,” Rutherford said. “I’ve been working for this to happen.”

She used a variety of moves, such as driving to the basket or pulling up from mid range.

“I just think attack, attack, attack the play,” Rutherford said.

Rutherford was a force against an undersized Glenwood front court.

“They couldn’t guard Cammy,” said Creston coach Ryan McKim. “That gave us something to go to on offense when we were struggling to find anything

to go to.”

Rutherford’s work away from the game showed in Friday’s contest.

“She’s spent so much time playing basketball and you can tell,” McKim said. “I’m glad her hard work pays off and glad she saw that.”

Rutherford found her groove even while spending long stretches of the game on the bench with foul trouble.

Staying in the game for longer stretches is an area she knows she must improve on.

“I’ve got to work on it to stay out of it,” Rutherford said.

Rutherford and the Panthers came alive in the fourth quarter.

Creston needed it to overcome a 35-32 deficit heading into the final minutes.

Creston’s effort and intensity over the final eight minutes was unlike what it showed the first three quarters.

“The fourth quarter was good,” McKim said. “That was the first time we started playing hard was that fourth quarter.”

Breanna Wallace and Lexie Little joined with Rutherford to spark the fourth quarter comeback.

Wallace had several big plays defensively, including a steal and bucket that sealed the win.

Wallace finished with 11

points, and five steals.

Wallace’s efforts on both ends was critical for the Panthers’ success.

“She’s our glue for us,” McKim said. “She does a little bit of everything. She

plays good defense. She’s a good shooter. We need her on the court.”

Little had 10 points and eight rebounds. Of her 10 points, six came on triples in the fourth quarter as Cres-

Bearcats breeze forward to semis n Preparation cited heavily in Northwest’s defensive dominance

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

MARYVILLE, Mo. — A week’s worth of diligent and exhausting preparation led to the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats running rampant over the Harding University Bison 35-0 at Bearcat Stadium.

Both squads came into Saturday afternoon’s NCAA Division II national quarterfinals undefeated, the Bearcats at 12-0 and the Bisons at 13-0.

For Creston native Collin Bevins, the newly-minted sackmaster at Northwest Missouri State, prepping for the Bisons was a different task.

“Coach (Rich) Wright had a great gameplan all week,” Bevins said.

“We took probably 180-190 snaps against the triple-option this week in practice and it paid off once it came to game time.”

Bevins’ role consisted more of fulfilling gap responsibilities and taking away the threat of one of the Harding players on particular plays against the Bisons’ vaunted rushing BEARCATS | 0A CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

Swank, Panther wrestling impressive Saturday n Four Panthers take titles as team wins at DC-G

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

GRIMES — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg junior Mitchel Swank came into the championship match of Saturday’s Dallas Center-Grimes Tournament plenty motivated.

Standing across was Prairie City Monroe’s Xavier Miller.

The last time they met, Miller edged Swank 9-7 in sudden victory in the first round of the state tournament.

Swank gained the upper hand this time, pulling out a 5-3 win to claim the title at 145 pounds. “He kind of wanted revenge,� said Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Darrell Frain.

Swank reached the final with a 3-1 sudden victory

win over Webster City’s L u k e Rohmiller. “ H e had a really good Swank semifinal match,� Frain said. Swank was one of four champions for the Panthers.

Swank’s win was a big springboard for him early in his junior season. “That was huge for Mitchel to get that win and prove that he can do that,� Frain said.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg, ranked third in Class 2A, used its strength from 182 pounds on up to claim the team title with 208 points. Ankeny Centennial was second with 166 points, while Webster City was third with 162 points. “From 182 on up we did well,� Frain said.

Chase Shiltz pinned Interstate 35’s Dante Arzani for the second time in a week for the title at 182. Jackson

Mikkelsen picked up the title at 195 with a 10-5 decision win over Des Moines East’s Tanner Tillotson.

Kadon Hulett kept the winning going with a second period pin over Ankeny Centennial’s Riley McClaskey at 220 pounds. “Chase dominated like we anticipated,� Frain said. “Jackson had a couple close matches. Kadon dominated.�

Cody Tanner pushed topranked Cooper Lawson for a full six minutes before Lawson edged ahead for a 6-4 win.

Tanner led 2-0, then the match was tied at 4-4. Tanner was in on a takedown attempt that would’ve tied the match at 6-6 late in regulation, but couldn’t finish it off in time.

Tanner moved forward mentally when it came to a tight match. “In the past, that’s the type of matches that are really tight that come down to the wire, I don’t know what happens, but he psychs himself out,� Frain said. “He

was a totally different person.�

The Panthers added a runner-up finish from Jacob Goodson at 113 pounds.

Kelby Luther was third at 126. Cade Vicker was fourth at 132, while Trevor Marlin was fourth at 138. “Our guys in the consolations all wrestled well,�

Frain said. “Kelby, Colby, Trevor were probably not where they wanted to be, but they contributed quite a bit for us.�

The Panthers took a couple steps forward overall in its first traditional tournament of the season. “That’s what we’re shooting for,� Frain said. “We’re not preaching anything about wins and losses. We want to keep getting better. That will go a long way.

Hopefully this is a stepping stone for the rest of the way.�

UP NEXT — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg opens Hawkeye 10 Conference dual meet action Tuesday in Red Oak with the Tigers and Atlantic.

Atlantic comes in as the preseason favorite to win the Hawkweye 10 dual meet title.

The Panthers will have a significant test right out of the gates. “We’re going to be the underdog in seven or eight matches,� Frain said. “We’re going to have to have a couple of upsets if we want to knock them off.�

The Trojans, who won the Joe Fitch Invitational Friday in Humboldt, enter with six ranked wrestlers.

The Panthers will find out where they stand early in the Hawkeye 10 dual season. “The kids will get tested,�

Frain said. “We’ll figure out where we’re at and hopefully we can build off that.�

Anderson lights up the Well, Tigers top Panthers

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — Lenox’s boys basketball team needed a breakout effort from an individual player heading into Saturday’s nonconference tussle with Creston.

Senior Kaleb Anderson provided the spark the Tigers needed in order to keep up with the Panthers.

Anderson erupted for a career-high 46 points as the Tigers down the Panthers 89-81 at Wells Fargo Arena. “Playing two classes up, you’ve got to have someone have a special night,� said Lenox coach Jesse Cox. “He sure did.�

Anderson did not sleep well Friday night after the Tigers’ 65-51 Pride of Iowa Conference loss at Bedford.

Anderson felt considerably better Saturday.

He erupted for a career-high 46 points as the Tigers outscored Creston 89-81 at Wells Fargo Arena.

Anderson was hitting from all over the court. He buried nine 3-point baskets, four 2-point field goals and made 11-of-11 at the free throw line. “I couldn’t sleep very good, didn’t sleep very well last night knowing what happened,� Anderson said. Cox was looking for his team to rebound after two tough losses to open the season, Monday at Orient-Macksburg and Friday at Bedford.

They did so against the Panthers. “Coach Cox was saying we need to get the bad taste out of our mouths,� Anderson said. “That’s what we were trying to do and we got it done.�

Anderson felt better from the start, scoring 21 points in the opening 16 minutes.

It carried over the momentum he had earlier in the day when his shootaround in Lenox and pregame shoot inside Wells Fargo Arena went well. “I felt really good,� Anderson said. “We shot before we came here and up here at Wells before the game. Both places it felt good.�

Every time the Tigers needed a key points, he provided. Two Anderson free throw gave the Tigers a 1613 lead in the first quarter.

Lenox led 18-15 after one quarter.

Later in the first half, a triple by Anderson pushed the Tigers lead out to eight, 39-31. Another Anderson triple put the Tigers up 12, 43-31 late in the second quarter. Lenox led 44-34 at the break.

Creston had no answer defensively for Anderson and company. “They definitely had some guys knock down some shots,� said Creston coach Taylor Phipps. “Credit them for making them.�

The Panthers’ struggles early were disconcerting for Phipps and company.

It marked the second

straight game the Panthers had a slow start. Creston scored only 13 points in the first Anderson half of Friday’s loss at Glenwood. “For whatever reason, we didn’t come out ready to play,� Phipps said. “It was very frustrating.�

Phipps had high hopes Saturday would be better.

It wasn’t early on. “I was hoping we’d bounce back after (Friday),�

Phipps said. “It didn’t work out that way.�

Anderson’s offensive eruption came on the heels of scoring one point in Friday’s loss at Bedford. “That did not feel good,�

Anderson said of Friday’s game. “I wanted to bounce back. It felt good.�

the Tigers struggled to keep up with the athletic Panther wing. “He can penetrate. He can get rebounds,� Cox said.

While Smallwood was effective, he wasn’t on the court for significant stretches with foul trouble. Smallwood fouled out with fiveplus minutes left.

Creston’s offense struggled to find a consistent rhythm down the stretch. “That definitely changes our lineup when he’s not in the game,� Phipps said. “That’s something we’ve got to work on.�

Lenox took the lead for good late in the third quarter when Still connected on two free throws.

The Tigers pushed the lead to eight, 77-69, on a Johnston bucket.

Creston closed to within three, 77-74 , on a Brenden McDowell three with 1:45 to go.

But Still countered with

Carter Still — that was his best night. He’s got the potential. He can take it to the hole. It was his best game.�

Creston came out in the third quarter with much more life than it did in the first half. The Panthers went on a 16-5 run to take a 60-57 lead.

Buzzer beater finish

Wolverine boys rally twice, edge Eagles n

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

AFTON — Nodaway Valley boys basketball senior Dallas Kreager has waited for his chance.

With the game on the line in multiple situations, Kreager came through in a big way Friday at East Union.

Kreager hit a 3-pointer to send the game into overtime and then hit the game-winning buzzer beater from the top of the key to give Nodaway Valley a 69-68 win. “Dallas Kreager carried us the second half,�

Nodaway Valley coach Darrell Burmeister said. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been involved in a game with one player hitting a three at the end of regulation to send it into overtime and then hitting a three at the end of the first overtime to win it.

What a moment for Dallas Kreager.�

Just getting to overtime was a feat in itself for the Wolverines. A raucous atmosphere pervaded the East Union gym for much of the night and intensified in the second half. The Wolverines took a 29-28 lead into the locker room with a Spencer Thompson putback.

It was the Eagles who took control in the third quarter.

A spurt fueled by the trio of Casey Walter, Gabe Nixon and Mason Gossman had East Union up 45-37 to end the third quarter. “To their (EU’s) credit, they did a nice job driving the ball to the basket,� Burmeister said.

After a Walter bucket nine seconds into the fourth quarter put the Eagles up 10, the largest lead for either team of the game, the Wolverines responded. Beau Weinheimer, who had 14 at the half, had his biggest string of plays of the game following the Walter bucket.

Weinheimer scored on a putback of his own shot, and then quickly hit a left-handed layup on Nodaway Valley’s next possession.

Immediately after that, Weinheimer tipped a pass with the Wolverines pressing. The ball ended up in the

Nodaway Valley senior Dallas Kreager watches and holds true to form after shooting what proved to be a game-tying 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter of Nodaway Valley’s 69-68 win at East Union Friday. The shot sent the game into overtime after the Eagles failed to advance the ball past halfcourt on the ensuing inbounds pass. Kreager went on to hit the game-winning 3-pointer as time expired in overtime.

hands of Brandon Mangels, who passed to Brady Hilpipre for an easy deuce to make it 47-43.

Minutes later, two free throws from Weinheimer made it 54-51 with East Union still clinging to a lead.

Weinheimer, who fouled out late in the fourth, finished the evening with 21 points and hit four first-half 3-pointers.

Brady Hilpipre nailed a 3-pointer from the left wing with under a minute left in regulation to pull Nodaway Valley back within two at 58-56.

After several frantic possessions and Spencer Lamb fouling out, Nixon went to the free throw line with 16.7 seconds left. Nixon hit 1-of2 to put East Union up 5956.

Nodaway Valley ran down the court, got the ball in the hands of Kreager and the senior hit one from deep with several seconds remaining.

East Union got the ball back inbounds but was unable to advance it against the Nodaway Valley press and the game went into overtime with the score 5959.

Kreager hit a a 3-pointer early in OT, but East Union grabbed a lead after a buck-

et and two free throws from Ryan Collins. The Eagles stretched the lead to 67-63 when a cutting Nixon scored at the rim.

The ball ended up in the hands of the Eagles’ Kyle Campbell who went to the line with 10 seconds left and with a 67-66 lead. After a Burmeister timeout, Campbell sunk the first.

After another Burmeister timeout, Campbell’s second attempt hit the rim and backboard before falling off to the left. Hilipire grabbed the board and passed the ball to Thompson. The senior advanced the ball up the court to the left wing.

Hounded by two defenders, Thompson passed the ball to a cutting Kreager. Kreager took three dribbles to the right, gave a slight head fake to get East Union’s Walter off of his feet into the air. As Kreager released the shot, a leaping Dillon Weis just barely missed blocking the shot. The ball went through and the Wolverines had yet another win over the Eagles.

Burmeister was already

looking at the long run after the game. “This conference is wide open this year and there’s no reason why East U n i o n can’t be there at the end,�

Burmeister said. “It’s go- Burmeister ing to be like this every night in the Pride of Iowa.  There’s going to be a lot of buzzer-beaters in the Pride of Iowa this year. There’s no dominant teams.�

It was evident from the experienced juniors and seniors of East Union just how badly they wanted the victory over the Wolverines. Walter finished with 20 points for the Eagles. Nixon had 17 and Gossman had 16. “This is the closest we’ve gotten to Nodaway Valley in a long time. We’ve still got work,� Walter said. “We play them one more time before Christmas. We’ve

shots we needed down the stretch. They were critical.

She stepped up.”

Even if they didn’t show up on the scoresheet, McKim was pleased with the efforts of all.

“I’m proud of them,” McKim said.

As strong as the Panthers’ effort was in the fourth quarter, McKim would like to see more of that throughout the game.

“We need to find a way to make sure that we can string together 32 minutes instead of 8, 10, 12,” McKim said.

Glenwood led much of the way, holding an 11-8 lead after one quarter, 31-25 at halftime and 35-32 after three quarters.

The Panthers turned it on in the fourth quarter.

The victory wasn’t the prettiest, but it still gave Creston its second win of the season and first in Hawkeye 10 play.

“You’d rather win ugly than lose ugly,” McKim said.

In the JV game, Creston won 42-27.

attack.

“Your alignment assignment has to be impeccable,” Northwest Missouri State coach Adam Dorrel said.

“Our guys did a great job with that we continued to mix up what we were doing.

Who’s got dive. Who’s got pitch? Who’s got quarterback? I think that’s important that you don’t show them the same look over and over again.”

Harding’s vaunted rushing attack ran for 4,960 yards on the ground through 13 games, good for 381.5 per game.

Saturday Harding ran for just Bevins 119 yards on 43 carries Saturday and that averaged dropped to 362.8 yards per game on the ground.

“They got off blocks well.

If you watch film, their defensive line is outstanding,” outgoing Harding coach Ronnie Huckeba said. “They run to the ball well, they don’t get out of position.

They keep the ball in front of them.”

Bevins had three tackles, one solo and two assisted.

He also was involved in hurrying Harding quarterback Park Parish twice among his six pass attempts, one of which ended up being an interception that landed in the hands of Jarrod Bishop.

“They would tell you that’s the last type of offense that they would like to play against,” Dorrel said.

“They’d rather play against a team that throws the ball 40 times a game and they can look pretty coming off an edge. If you go back and watch the film, between the B-gaps, there’s nothing pretty about that. That was

hard,” said coach Britt McRoberts.

The Panther freshmen won 34-25 in the first time they’ve played a full game this season.

“The girls are getting settled into our offense and we were able to get some good looks for our guards. Heylee Shields had a solid offensive game hitting shots for us, as well as Kara Kinsella inside,” coach Mallory Peterson said.

trench warfare in there today.”

Dorrel gave props to his defensive staff and the kids for coming in focused and prepared as they have ever been.

“Our preparation going into today was absurd the amount of time and energy that our kids put in,” Dorrel said.

Huckeba was impressed not only with the preparation put in by the Bearcat, but also by the pure talent that the defense possessed.

“They have more than two defensive ends that are outstanding,” Huckeba said. “73 (Cass Weitl) and 11 (Collin Bevins), those are Division One players.”

Part of the Bearcats’ success came in special teams play. The Bearcats blocked a punt. Kicker Simon Mathieson booted five field goals and Bevins blocked a field goal attempt in the third quarter in what was Harding’s best scoring opportunity of the game.

Jordan Grove of Adel factored into the offense with a 58-yard touchdown reception and a two-yard direct snap touchdown on the ground.

Bevins has made a run to the Division II national title with Northwest in each his freshmen and junior seasons.

Now in his senior year, his team sits one win away from being in a position to battle for a title again.

“It was special. But now to do it as a senior and to really experience it as a senior, it’s awesome,” Bevins said.

The Bearcats (13-0), will host Ferris State (12-2) at Bearcat Stadium Saturday at 2:30 p.m. for a chance to go to the title game on the line.
