LENOX — For the 44th straight year, the Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) will not pass through the town of Lenox.

But, Lenox will be coming to RAGBRAI. Again.

The Lenox Bike Club will be 16 strong in joining the 10,000 bicyclists and visitors arriving in Creston one week from today. Most of them have been pedaling across the state in this annual event for more than three decades.

Pass-through towns on the way from Shenandoah

to Creston on July 25 are Essex, Bethesda, Villisca, Nodaway, Corning and Prescott. So, this year’s ride will come within about 10 miles of Lenox.

“It’s kind of tough for them to go through Lenox,” said longtime club member Hank Schneider.

“They don’t want to go on Highway 34 because it’s too busy. J20 comes in south of town, then you could go up

to Lenox and back down to Clearfield and Diagonal, I suppose. The year it stopped overnight in Bedford and went through Mount Ayr, they stayed down on Highway 2.”

On a recent Saturday morning training ride, five members of the Lenox Bike Club rode from Lenox to breakfast in Clearfield before returning to Lenox.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As Republicans gather to anoint their presidential ticket in Cleveland, uncompromising opposition to “Obamacare” is getting politically riskier.

Few people were covered under President Barack Obama’s health care law when the GOP held its last convention in 2012. Now, Donald Trump’s plan to replace the program would make 18 million people uninsured, according to a recent nonpartisan analysis.

Reviled as it may be, Obama’s law has changed the nation in ways that many may not want reversed. It means people don’t have to worry about being denied coverage due to medical problems, or fear policies that max out while a patient is undergoing chemotherapy. Millions who couldn’t afford health insurance now have financial help.

Capturing the White House would finally let Republicans make good on their vow “repeal and replace” the health care law.

But ripping apart the social safety net would be politically self-defeating, a new

dilemma for the GOP. “I don’t think they can credibly do ‘repeal’ until they have a solid legislative proposal to replace it,” said Lanhee Chen, policy director for the 2012 Mitt Romney presidential campaign.

“Politically, you can’t really do ‘repeal’ without the ‘replace’ coming in right behind it.”

Trump “has made some vague pronouncements, but that’s not a plan,” he added.

Many conservatives are hoping House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., will have the answer. Ryan has put together a framework for a replacement plan, and he’s trying to build GOP consensus.

A President Trump would do everything he could administratively to unwind the health care law, while Congress would take on the main work of repealing it and designing an alternative.

“He is going to rely heavily on the Republican House and the Republican Senate to put substantive bills on his desk,” said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., chair of the GOP platform committee.

Death Helen Stutt Creston

Helen Stutt, 85, of Creston died Wednesday, July 13, 2016, at Creston Specialty Care in Creston.

Private family services will be held at a later date at Prairie Lawn Cemetery.

Pearson Family Funeral Service, 809 Stutt W. Montgomery St., in Creston is in charge of the arrangements.

Online condolences may be left at www.pearsonfuneralhomes.com.

Helen Jean Stutt, daughter of Alfred August and Mabel Belva (Filmer) Stutt, was born Feb. 5, 1931, on a

Even with Ryan’s policy expertise, that scenario is also filled with uncertainty.

If Republicans can keep the Senate, they’re not expected to have a 60-vote majority that would allow them to ram through legislation. They might have to scale back their health care aspirations from the start.

Possible outcomes could shift from full repeal to rescinding parts of the law that Democrats don’t much like either, such as its tax on high-value insurance plans, the employer coverage requirement, and a Medicare cost-control board. Call that “repeal lite.�

A GOP replacement — while scrapping Obama’s unpopular individual requirement to carry health insurance — would likely have other features similar to the president’s approach. Among them are tax credits to help people afford insurance and a provision for people with medical problems to get coverage. Some conservatives would dismiss that as “Obamacare lite.� “Don’t get me wrong, there would be a lot of turbulence,� said Jim Capretta, a health care policy expert at the business-oriented American Enterprise Institute. “Proposing to move in a different direction will be rocky politically no matter what the circumstances are.�

That raises another question: How much political capital would a newly inaugurated President Trump, with far-reaching ambitions on trade and tax policy, want to spend on “repeal and replace�?

All the uncertainty is making people covered under the health care law uneasy. Millions previously uninsured have gotten coverage. The nation’s uninsured rate is about

farm near Creston. Helen graduated from Orient High School with the class of 1948.

Helen moved to Denver, Colorado, shorty after graduation, and she worked for many years for Safeco Insurance Company as the personnel manager. Helen also lived in Des Moines until moving to Creston in 2015.

Helen never married and was a very private person during life.

Helen is survived by her sister Marilyn (Wes) Geidel of Creston; nephews, Doug (Becky) Geidel of Creston and Greg Geidel of Sarasota, Florida; and great-nephews, Justin, Brady and Galen Geidel.

Helen was preceded in death by her parents, brother Robert “Bob� Stutt and sister-in-law Irene Stutt.

9 percent, a historic low.

Deborah Paddison, a freelance editor and writer from Phoenix, says she would become uninsurable without the Affordable Care Act. As a youngster, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that attacks the joints and tissues of the body. She’s had more than a dozen surgeries and a kidney transplant. Currently she is getting rehab following an operation to stabilize an artificial hip.

Paddison’s monthly premium for a plan through HealthCare.gov is $429, for which she gets a subsidy of $235. Her share comes out to $194. “There are so many people like me, with a history of chronic disease, who don’t yet qualify for Medicare,� said Paddison. “We work, we are productive citizens, but basically we would be uninsurable.�

The Ryan plan provides a pathway for people who maintain “continuous coverage� to avoid insurance limitations based on their medical histories. But important details remain to be worked out.

While two-thirds of Republicans want the health care law completely repealed, a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that other Americans have different ideas.

About half of Democrats would like Congress to expand what the law does, as Hillary Clinton proposes.

Overall, 33 percent of Americans want the health care law repealed, while 28 percent want to expand it.

Others are in the middle.

Those numbers point to enduring divisions, not a clear mandate for repeal.

But don’t look for Republicans to back off. “We are committed to take this on again,� said Barrasso. “We have an obligation to the people who voted for us to proceed with ‘repeal and replace.’�

CLUB: CONT. FROM | 1A

Those enjoying a stopover with omelets and hash browns at the Clearfield Cafe were Schneider of Lenox, 63; Jon Skillern of Shenandoah, 53; Ron Sickels of Mount Ayr, 58; Dr. Steve Sawyer of Lenox, 63; and the Rev. Pete Brantner of Lenox, 60.

35th ride Sickels is the veteran of the group. The event piqued his interest when it passed through Tingley in 1981. He and a friend living in Clarinda joined the ride the following year, and Sickels will start his 35th RAGBRAI in Glenwood on Sunday. “He knew some guys over in Clarinda that were in RAGBRAI, so we just decided to go,� Sickels said. “He went on a bike that was way too small for him, and I went on a bike that was way too big for me. I wore jean shorts and T-shirts. I’ve been going ever since. It gets to be kind of a habit.�

Likewise, each of the other bike club members on this weekend breakfast ride had his own RAGBRAI origin story.

Schneider, a retired teacher and coach in Lenox, had no idea there was a bicycle ride across Iowa until 12 years after its 1973 inception.

Next week, he’ll ride in his 32nd straight RAGBRAI. “I started with these guys in 1985,� Schneider said. “That year was 540 miles, the longest it had been, with back-to-back 100-mile days. I just wore coaching shorts. I think I trained about 800 miles.

It’s a good excuse to make you get out and ride your bike.�

East Union ties Skillern was a teacher

guys and ready to ride. Up ahead of us, Alison and Sean were the lead two in a pace line. I’ll never forget that year.�

Brantner was working as a pastor in Mount Ayr when the ride passed through in 1992. Meanwhile, he had stricken a friendship with Sawyer, who had become a bicycle enthusiast. “I was jogging a lot and my knees just weren’t good enough anymore,� Brantner said. “Steve said I should try riding a bike. It was my first year as a pastor in Mount Ayr and I watched all those people go through. It went up to Osceola after an overnight stay in Bedford. You can’t fathom how many people it is until you see it.

I went on it the next year in 1993.�

in the East Union district when a colleague, Terry Carr, introduced him to his co-riders from the Lenox club. He and Dave Koets, Lenox teacher who participated in several rides, were drivers for the club in 1992.

Both of them decided to give it a try. “Koets and I both said, ‘We’re doing this next year!’ This is too much fun,�

Skillern recalled. “I told my wife I wanted to do it one time. But it’s infectious.�

Sickels was a patient in Sawyer’s dental office when he brought up the subject of biking one day. “I had gained a lot of weight the year before and I felt I needed to do something,� Sawyer related. “Ron talked about riding his bicycle. So, I got a bike and the next year I went on RAGBRAI. That was 1984.�

More than just the physical fitness benefits hooked Sawyer. “I have always said, for a mental vacation, it’s perfect,� Sawyer said. “All you’re concerned with is getting to the next town.

I found myself not thinking about the problems at home.�

It became a family tradition. Sawyer’s daughter, Alison Sawyer-Munter of Spencer, has joined the group on several rides.

One time, Skillern said his 10-year-old son, Sean, decided to try the ride and found a mentor in Sawyer’s daughter. Skillern had been a little apprehensive about the prospects of his son being able to handle 500 miles of riding. “I remember the day we were in a little town near Coralville,� Skillern said. “I’m getting up, and Alison had given Sean a (biking) jersey to ride in. I looked around for him, and he’s right in the middle of the

Mutual support Except for being sidelined by cancer nearly a decade ago, Brantner has been on every ride since. He said the camaraderie of the club makes it worth it. They’ve all experienced hardships.

Sawyer has dealt with treatment for a brain tumor and hip replacement. Several other club members had hip replacements or other physical ailments. Sickels recalled “blowing an Achilles� one year and finishing the ride, nonetheless. “I was young and stupid then,� Sickels said. “I wouldn’t do that now.� “This will be my 22nd RAGBRAI. I couldn’t ride in 2008,� Brantner said. “I think developing friendships is a big part of this.

We’ve all went through different spots in our lives where we had difficult moments. We’ve supported each other. We’re kind of accountable to each other.

Leland Anderson still rides with us at 74. He said he’s going to ride until he can’t.�

Sickels said he stopped

predicting when his last RAGBRAI would be. “Now I just say I’ll do it as long as it’s fun,� Sickels said. “Sure, there’s 10,000 people. But, people tend to get on the same schedule from year to year, so you see many of the same people every day. There are a lot of people I see once a year — at RAGBRAI.�

They build up some legendary stories through more than three decades of daily rides. Many of those tales involve Koets, known for stubbornly riding through pain of a bothersome hip that eventually required replacement surgery. “We’ve had some monster hills; some of them have names,� Skillern said. “One time we passed Koets and he said, ‘Stick a fork in me.

I’m done.’�

The guys cackled at that memory and put on their helmets in the cafe for the ride back to Lenox. After all, there were less than two weeks to prepare for their annual expedition across the state. “There are 10,000 people, but it’s really like 15,� Sawyer said, noting the closeknit nature of the club. “We pretty much ride together.

I remember one time we came up on a hill called Potter’s Hill in eastern Iowa that wasn’t even on the map. But a group of kids had a sign that said ‘Welcome to Potter’s Hill — 19 percent (incline).’ “I had always said the day I had to walk up a hill, that would be the end,� Sawyer said. “Well, it wasn’t, because I walked that day.

But, I did go back a month later on vacation and rode it.�

That’s the relentless spirit of the Lenox Bike Club.

Even if the town’s residents never get to experience Iowa’s largest rolling community.

Is mow-and-blow wasteful?

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about how lawns are mowed: “My complaint is about people who mow their lawn and blow all the grass and mowed garbage all over the sidewalks and out into the street.

“All this waste goes down the street and pollutes our water supply by going down our water drain. It also blocks the grates, which blocks drainage and causes large puddles.

“Why not sweep or blow the clippings back onto the grass to help protect it from the sun?” – A Reader, Syracuse, N.Y. Dear Reader: This is a discussion all over the country. Many areas say not to bag it – mulch it and leave it on the lawn. Others say bag it! You are right that it’s a shame and a waste to have it go down the water drain and clog the grates, as well as cause other problems. Readers? Comments? – Heloise

Our library makes an effort to track down the owner. If readers don’t have a bookmark, cut the corner off a used envelope and use that on the corner of the page they wish to come back to. – Trey P., via email Trey, thanks for the re-

GRADUATES OF 2016 Dear Heloise: As graduation approached, we found ourselves with a few announcements. We couldn’t attend all, but we sent cards with a monetary gift.

We sent a check in the amount of their graduation year. So, this year, graduates got a check for $20.16.

It wasn’t much, but it was something. With a fixed income, this was doable! – Beatrice S. in Pennsylvania Beatrice, great hint! A little math and money!

Horoscope For Tuesday, July 19, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a tricky day indeed! Be very careful about your relationships with authority figures -- bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. Be courteous. (Don’t quit your day job.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today. Meanwhile, expect travel plans to be canceled, changed or rescheduled.

Yikes!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Double-check your bank accounts and expect sudden changes or errors in matters related to inheritances, shared property, insurance issues and debt. Nothing is reliable today!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This is just one reason you might be at sixes and sevens when dealing with partners and close friends. Patience!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Matters at work will not go smoothly today, which means you have to be patient with co-workers. Avoid power struggles; just go with the flow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is an accident-prone day for your children or children you work with. Therefore, you must be vigilant! (Romantic partners must be patient with each other as well.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your home routine will be interrupted today. Do what you can to avoid domestic arguments. Small appliances might break down. Expect the unexpected!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Be careful and think before you speak.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Financial matters are unpredictable today. You might find money; you might lose money. If shopping, count your change, save your receipts and check your bill.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today the only Full Moon all year that is in your sign is happening. This can make relations with partners and close friends upsetting and too emotional. Easy does it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Expect changes at work and in your daily routine. Even your health might cause you concern. (Things will be more

normal in 48 hours.) Guard your pet against ailments and accidents, because something unexpected might occur.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A friend might shock you or do something unexpected today.

Alternatively, you might meet someone who is a real character. Be careful dealing with others today.

YOU BORN TODAY Your sweet nature embraces an impulsive spirit; however, you want emotional security and continuity. You are persistent,

courageous and adventurous.

Great news! You are now heading into one of the most powerful years of your life -- a time of accumulation. This is a good year to buy and sell.

Whatever you have done in the past will now ripen, because it’s your time of fruition. At last!

Experienced Panther softball team ready for state challenges

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Creston athletics is breeding a formula for success that has yielded high performance at a state-level for several years.

The Panthers softball team finds themselves back in Fort Dodge, looking to make an impact for the second consecutive year.

This group of experienced seniors and youth-filled, energetic ballplayers come in looking to once again turn heads and compete among the best that the state has to offer.

“I think since a lot of us played in the state tournament last year, it made it even more of a goal. It made it even more important this year to go back because we knew what it was like and we wanted to experience it again, especially our senior year,”

senior Josie Sickels said.

Six Panther seniors make their return voyage to Fort Dodge.

Sixth-seeded Creston, 24-11, will start things off with a Tuesday match-up against three-seed Fairfield, 27-11. The game is slated for Mittera Field at 5:30 p.m.

The Panthers’ fate after the opener is determined by the result of a contest between Oskaloosa, 27-7, and Perry, 24-12.

Winterset pitcher stymies Creston Panthers end season at 15-16

WINTERSET — Winterset eighth-grade pitcher Casey Young brought some of the better pitches in his arsenal to Friday’s Class 3A District 15 baseball game.

Creston’s offense had no answer for the Huskies hurler. Young thwarted the Panthers throughout in a 2-0 win.

Winterset, 19-12, advanced to face Glenwood, 19-15, tonight in the district final. The Rams advanced with a 2-0 win over Atlantic Friday.

Creston’s season ends at 15-16.

Young scattered three hits. He walked one and struck out four.

“Casey’s been throwing pretty well for us,” said Winterset coach Travis Nedved.

“He throws a variety of pitches all across the plate.

He comes from different angles. That makes it tough on hitters.”

The Panthers could only muster singles from sophomore Michael Scherer in the first, junior Brody Frain in the second and junior Gavin Woods in the fifth. The Panthers advanced a baserunner to second in the first, second and fifth, but could not put a runner beyond there.

Creston coach Steve Birchard applauded Young for his fine outing.

“When you can only muster three hits, you tip your hat a little,” Birchard said.

The Panthers had a couple of loud outs. In the fifth, junior Cody Crawford ripped a

shot into the right centerfield gap that was caught on the run by senior Cory Spillman with two runners on. Sophomore Dustin Merritt hit a hard drive in the seventh that was caught on the run by senior Nick Nelson in left.

“Our defense played really well,” Nedved said.

Creston just couldn’t catch a timely break.

“Merritt hit one right at them. The ball that Cody hit to right, if that gets down, it’s a new game. If we could get one of those to fall, who knows what goes on.”

Creston junior pitcher Kadon Hulett found himself in a bit of a jam in the first inning. Hulett surrendered a solo home run to senior Parker Klimesh on an 0-2 pitch to right field. “(Catcher) Jaden (Driskell) said it wasn’t a bad pitch. The kid managed to get it to right center,” Birchard said.

The Huskies then strung three straight hits together, all singles.

Hulett allowed only two runs, but fell on the wrong end of second run. a 2-0 loss to the Huskies.

Hulett recovered to record the next two outs without any more damage done.

“I said this isn’t looking good. I might have to make a quick change,” Birchard said.

After the rough half, Hulett settled into a nice rhythm. A couple of times, he worked out of jams. He helped keep the Panthers in the game.

LENOX— Nodaway Valley senior Jackson Lamb has played in many high-pressured games in basketball, played in several golf tournaments where there has been much riding on each shot.

Saturday was one of the few times he’s been in a high-profile situation on the baseball diamond.

Lamb and his teammates

handled the challenge of playing in a district final brilliantly.

Behind a strong outing on the mound from their senior ace and timely hits in the first and seventh, the Wolverines moved on with a 9-1 win over Lenox in the Class 1A District 14 final.

aforementioned game. That game will take place on Thursday, July 21 at 1:00 p.m.

If Creston falls to Fairfield, it will take on the loser of the Oskaloosa-Perry game on Wednesday, July 20 at Veterans’ Field at 12:00 p.m.

Creston coach Mike McCabe is content to take a onegame at a time approach, with Fairfield in full-view.

He is not overly concerned with the Trojans, though he respects the skilled team his girls are about to face.

McCabe has seen Fairfield play at the annual Oskaloosa tournament, and spoke highly of their lineup and pitching.

“They’re very aggressive, looking to get after it early in the count,” McCabe said.

“It’s going to be really important that we’re able to hit spots and not find ourselves behind in the count.”

The Trojans field a group that boasts two players who were all-state performers last season and return this year: junior Brynna Bowman and sophomore Ashtyn Drish.

Fairfield has three players in its lineup (Drish, junior Kaylee Watson and junior Sara Trent) who have at least 30 runs batted in.

Creston on the other hand, fields a more balanced lineup as seven players have 20 or more RBIs. McCabe expects his lineup

and Pride of Iowa Conference rival Martensdale-St. Marys, 28-12, Tuesday in Creston. First pitch is set for 7 p.m. at Panther Field.

Martensdale-St. Marys advanced with a 7-0 win over Wayne Saturday.

Lenox’s season comes to an end at 15-12.

“Baseball, if I look at it, is the least pressurized sport,” Lamb said. “I’ve played in state basketball games, substate basketball games.

I know what pressure feels like. This one, it was there, but it wasn’t as much.”

The experience on the hardwood helped him on the diamond.

“I learned how to keep my cool, take deep breaths, relax and compose myself all the time.”

Lamb was in a zone through the first six innings.

He scattered three hits, all singles. Lenox didn’t have a baserunner past first base until the seventh.

He and junior catcher Joe Herr were dialed in throughout.

“Joe and I got big-time chemistry going on,” Lamb said. “I follow what he does, read his mind.”

Lamb was aided by finding out where the zone was in the top of the first for Lenox starter junior Kaleb Anderson and later junior reliever Jared Hensley.

“The advantage was that

If Creston falls to Fairfield, it will take on the loser of the OskaloosaPerry game on Wednesday, July 20 at Veterans’ Field at noon.

I have so much love and respect for everyone that is a part of Creston softball and none of us want to let each other down. I don’t think a lot of teams have that.

I love every single person on this team and we’re playing for each other. We before me, all the way.”

Alli Thomsen

Creston senior softball player

to face off against Trojans senior pitcher Alli Deao, who maintains a 13-7 record and a 1.67 earned run average. Deao has walked just nine batters this season, so Creston will have to work to not fall behind in the count early when possible.

The Panthers very well could see Haley Beard in the circle. Beard is 14-4, has worked fewer innings and starts than Deao, has a 1.98 E.R.A. and has a lower opponents batting average (.210).

The Panthers players are much less concerned with the numbers. They’re just giddy about getting back to state and having the opportunity to try and prove themselves once more.

The girls feel that their experience down the stretch last season will, and has, played a huge part of this year’s state trip.

“If we take the way we played ADM last year and the way we played Winterset this year and Glenwood this year then we should take that experience and play well this year,” senior Jami Sickels said.

Senior Shelby Palser echoed that sentiment.

“Last year we went through a lot of situations where it was iffy games, 5050 and it came down to the last inning,” Palser said. “We battled through it and we have almost all of us back and we’ve all been through that so we know how to play through the last inning.”

Jami Sickels recalls vividly just how daunting being in that situation at state can feel.

“When something happens (at state) it’s so much louder than it is at a normal softball game,” Jami Sickels said.

Senior Taylor Briley has had as much pressure heaped on her shoulders as any Panther, having been the pitcher of record in each of Creston’s three playoff wins.

For her, the key to success is relaxing and knowing that she has the experience to handle whatever is thrown at her.

“We’ve been there before, so it’s just a normal routine, it’s just like any normal game,” Briley said. “You have to stay relaxed, stay

calm and play like we know how to play.”

While Briley has handled most of the pitching duties since the beginning of the tournament, McCabe has a reliable second-option whose numbers are comparable to Briley’s in junior Cali Foglesong.

Sophomore Chloe Hagle, who has caught for both Briley and Foglesong for several years now, is excited about what is to come.

“It’s really cool because I’ve kind of gotten better with them (Briley and Foglesong) because I’ve grown up with them and stuff…It’s just cool that I get to go with the pitchers that I’ve caught for two years now,” Hagle said.

Hagle of course, had the opportunity to watch Natalie Mostek catch Haylee LaMasters at state last year.

“I’ve got more responsibility this year, Hagle said.

“I try to kinda of keep calm and just go out there and play with confidence.”

A whole crew of youngsters will be able to soak in

how big the entire event is.

That includes a connection to the fans in attendance.

To many on the team, the sense of connection and appreciation that they feel with the community that comes to support them was the most exhilarating memory from last year’s tournament, and perhaps what they look forward to most this week.

“The support that the community brings, it’s just a great feeling,” Alyssa Higgins said.

“It was really fun. The atmosphere was amazing,” Josie Sickels added. “It was so awesome to see our whole community come so far to watch us compete.”

Even with community support, nothing feels better in a team sport than truly feeling a part of a unit. The memories and experiences the Panthers are about to share become all the more special when done with a team that does everything for one another.

“We play for each other. I have so much love and re-

Lamb was able to watch the top of the first inning, see where the strike zone was,” said Lenox coach Jesse Cox. “Anderson couldn’t hone in on it and it even took Hensley a while to find where the zone was. Jackson was able to watch that. He was dialed in the whole way.”

Lamb located his curveball effectively all night.

“I knew if my curveball was working, I’d catch them a couple times,” Lamb said.

“I’m a spot pitcher. I hit my spots real well.”

Lamb worked out of a bit of trouble in the seventh. Lenox’s first three batters reached, prompting Nodaway Valley coach Dan Jameson to make a visit.

The fiery Lamb told Jameson he could finish off the Tigers.

After a popout to brother Spencer Lamb, Jackson Lamb struck out two of the next three batters to seal the win.

“Jackson got it,” said Nodaway Valley coach Dan Jameson. “He gave us a good fighting chance.”

Nodaway Valley’s offense gave Lamb all the support he needed in the first. Four of the Wolverines’ first five batters reached. Two, junior Beau Winheimer and Herr, who reached on a walk and a hit batter respectively, scored on senior Ryan Jensen’s base hit. Three batters later, Lamb, who singled, scored on junior Brandon Mangles’ base hit.

The Wolverines’ plate discipline and approach keyed

the big first inning.

“We talked about it in the pregame that we needed to come out and get on the board first, get after it,” Jameson said. “The guys took pitches and worked the count a little better than we have been. We came up with some timely hits and got going.”

Cox pulled Anderson after Lamb’s base hit to load the bases.

“The first pitch looked pretty good and he didn’t get the call and that deflated him right there. He couldn’t get it done. The ball deflects off that (the third baseman on Lamb’s single) and you could see his whole body language go down. We couldn’t leave him out there.’

Hensley was in a groove over the next five-plus in-

nings. At one point, he retired 13 Wolverines in a row, and 15-of-16 from the end of the first through the sixth.

“He did a good job of holding them there,” Cox said.

Lamb was in control thoughout in shutting down the Tiger offense.

“If we could’ve mustered something, put some pressure on them it would’ve made a difference,” Cox said.

Hensley ran out of gas in the seventh. The Wolverines batted nine and scored six to pull away. Jensen drove in two with a double. Lamb and eighth-grader Tyler Vandewater each drove in a run.

Other runs scored on a wild pitch and an error.

Lenox wraps up a solid season.

Cox sees a plenty of potential next season with the core of his lineup back. Lenox only loses two seniors. Spencer Brown was limited to one game with a knee injury while Leevi Marshall served as the designated hitter.

The majority of the Tigers will be back, joining a good group of upcoming eighth-graders.

“We have an excellent seventh-grade class with a couple of kids next year that will help us out,” Cox said.

“We’re looking to next year.

The future is bright. Hopefully this is just a stepping stone. With (junior Dawson) Tullberg, Hensley and Anderson back, we’re going to have a lot of senior leadership.

“If they follow, good things should come.”

spect for everyone that is a part of Creston softball and none of us want to let each other down,” senior Alli Thomsen said. “I don’t think a lot of teams have that. I love every single person on this team and we’re playing for each other. We before me, all the way.”

Thomsen was able to experience the rush of her teammates coming after her when she recorded the last out in the regional semifinals and finals.

She wants that scenario replicated again.

In a year in which many upper-echelon Class 4A squads were knocked out before state, 2016 is as ripe a year as any for upsets to shake up the Class 4A softball landscape.

The Panthers are set for fun too. The girls recalled playing “Spoons,” board games, and even challenging another team to a wiffleball game last year at state.

The girls already have a match-up scheduled at state with Hawkeye 10 foe Atlantic in what should be an epic wiffleball contest.

There’s no uncertainty about the fun the Panthers are about to have. All fun aside, the end goal is clear.

“We’ve proved ourselves,” Thomsen said. “We don’t have anything to lose.

We just need to go out, play relaxed, and if we play good softball, I don’t know why we couldn’t win the whole thing.”

Nodaway Valley advances to a place no Wolverine team has been before. The Wolverines will be playing in their first substate game against their Pride of Iowa Conference rivals.

The Wolverines won the regular-season meeting, 3-2 on June 24 in Martensdale.

“They’ll be ready to pay us back,” Jameson said. “We’ll have to be ready. The guys are up for the challenge.”

second after a hit and a twoout single to senior Chris Dillinger and in the fifth on a leadoff double by Klimesh Hulett escaped both jams unscathed.

“He settled down,” Birchard said. “As Kadon does, he got stronger.”

Hulett’s effort was good enough to win, but not on a night where the Panther bats were rendered ineffective by Young.

“He pitched well enough to beat most teams,” Birchard said.

Creston’s season ends below .500, a disappointing mark for the squad.

Still, Birchard was proud of how his team performed.

“Sure we didn’t want to be sub-.500, but I’m proud of them. We played good ball.

We didn’t have any meltdowns, didn’t have any terrible games. I’m proud of how we handled some situations internally.”

The Panthers lose no seniors, bringing back a strong core for next season.

“The junior class showed great leadership,” Birchard said. “We didn’t have any seniors, but we had leaders.”

Expectations will be raised for the Panthers going forward.

“We expect nothing but to be better,” Birchard said. “Hopefully everybody has the same expectations.

Hopefully we keep plugging away.”
