by Adair County Cattlemen’s Association.

RAGBRAI has come and gone, but Creston is still feeling its effects.

After the Creston RAGBRAI committee’s late-August wrap-up meeting with RAGBRAI corporate, it was announced the Creston RAGBRAI committee finished with a $9,000 surplus.

Creston RAGBRAI Treasurer Steve Crittenden said the Creston RAGBRAI committee was able to finish in the green despite income falling short in several areas.

“The big takeaway was it

Campaigns pin hopes on turnout efforts in closing weeks IOWA CITY (AP) — Over pizza and cupcakes, Jose Nunez implored a crowd of University of Iowa students to pull out their smartphones and start sharing with online friends their personal reasons for backing Hillary Clinton for president.

Early voting in Iowa begins in late September, and the digital aide for the Clinton campaign said earnestly: “These stories are going to start making a difference.”

Sponsored: Adair County Cattlemen’s

was a long, hilly ride and it really took its toll on the riders. Therefore, a lot of our activities were not attended as well as we had planned,” Crittenden said.

“Our income was down on bus shut- Crittenden tles, down on beverage garden area.”

But, thanks to RAGBRAI’s $8,500 sponsorship and approximately $20,000

It’s a scene Clinton’s campaign is replicating in about a dozen of the most contested states as their aggressive voter turnout effort kicks into high gear for the sprint to Election Day, Nov. 8.

In Iowa alone, 25,000 volunteers are helping send real-time data on voters back to the campaign’s New York City headquarters, where dozens of analysts model the electorate.

RAGBRAI: CONT. FROM | 1A

in sponsorships from local businesses, Creston RAGBRAI finished with a surplus.

The executive committee and advisory committee took a vote and settled on splitting that $9,000 surplus between the three campgrounds for the event: McKinley Park, Southwestern Community College and Creston Community School District.

“Once all our bills have been in and we know everything is settled, we should give each of the campgrounds $3,000 apiece,” Crittenden said. “Without

VOTING: CONT. FROM | 1A

The campaign says it has about a half-million volunteers in swing states, including 40,000 in North Carolina. In Florida, the largest of those pivotal states, it claims 90,000.

To be sure, Clinton’s debates with Republican Donald Trump or a late-inthe-campaign surprise could reshape the White House race in the final stretch. But Clinton’s team believes winning the 270 electoral votes needed to secure the presidency relies on its yearlong, multimillion-dollar investment in sophisticated analytics and an army of volunteers now making contact with individual voters.

Trump, with heavy assistance from the Republican National Committee, is trying to replicate some of those efforts, bringing new staff on and hoping they can make up for lost time.

On Saturday, the RNC expected to have about 1,000 employees and 4,000 volunteers knocking on doors in Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin and elsewhere.

But the billionaire businessman — who told The Associated Press earlier this year that he believes the use of data analysis in campaigning is “overrated” — is also banking on a wave of mo-

the support of those organizations, there’s no way we could have housed that many riders. We felt it was important to put it back to those areas.”

Volunteer Committee Co-chairperson Gary Bucklin said a bulk of the work the day of RAGBRAI was done at the three campgrounds.

“Everybody deserved a little bit of payback for that sort of thing,” Bucklin said. “It was just a little bit Bucklin of gratitude we could show those

people for opening up their facilities for the people.”

In addition, Crittenden said Creston RAGBRAI was able to refund the $350 vendor fee to all the local nonprofits that paid vendor fees.

One of the big positives from the event was the volunteer turnout in Creston.

“We had tremendous volunteers,” Crittenden said. “We had volunteers signed up for one shift and ended up working two or three shifts. The community did a tremendous job of showcasing Creston.”

Bucklin said following July 4, more volunteers started signing up.

“It was a great turnout by volunteers,” he said.

“We would have liked to have a lot more, but we got the job done. I thought the turnout by the community and helping out was really good. We learned a lot.”

Crittenden and Bucklin agreed the teamwork shown by different committees could prove beneficial for Creston down the road.

“The other big positive in my mind was the networking all the volunteers were able to do amongst all the committees in Creston,” Crittenden said. “I think our community will be stronger for it because of the networking we went through during this process.”

mentum to carry voters to the polls in November.

“This is an incredible movement. The world is talking about it,” Trump said during one of his recent rallies, which have served as a main way of collecting information about voters.

Republicans scoffed at then-Sen. Barack Obama for speaking in similarly sweeping terms during his 2008 presidential campaign. But it wasn’t Obama’s rhetoric that propelled him to victory. It was an expensive and painstaking effort to convert the crowds he generated into a data-driven voter turnout operation run by many of the same people now working for Clinton.

RNC officials talk publicly about having made gains since Obama won re-election in 2012, and there’s no doubt the party has focused more on voter targeting in recent years. But GOP officials are well aware they have something to prove, even to those within the party who privately question the strength of the turnout operation.

“We know we have to be better than we have been before to win a tight election,” said Rick Gorka, a communications adviser to the RNC and a former campaign aide to Mitt Romney, the 2012 nominee.

While the contest between Clinton and Trump is close, Clinton has more ways to 270 than does Trump, who

almost certainly has to win Florida and Ohio to pull out a victory. Even then, Clinton could win without them.

The biggest unknown is how voter turnout will be affected by the unusual combination of high interest in the election and low approval for both candidates.

Do voters dismayed by their options choose to stay home on Election Day or does interest in the race push more people to vote?

Clinton aides expect turnout to exceed the 129 million total from the 2012 contest between Obama and Romney. That’s due in part because turnout was suppressed in 2012 in heavily populated areas of New York and New Jersey as a result of Superstorm Sandy.

While few Republicans will openly cheer for low turnout, that scenario could help Trump. Clinton has an edge over Trump with blacks, Hispanics and young people. But she needs those groups to show up in big numbers to offset Trump’s strength with white, working-class voters.

In Florida, for example, her team is aggressively registering residents moving from Puerto Rico, who tend to vote Democratic.

Republican pollster Whit Ayers said that even if the GOP turnout effort is on track, Trump has a tougher task in Florida.

“Republicans say they are

signing up more white voters,” Ayers said. “But I’ll be very surprised if they can sign up more white people than Clinton can sign up Hispanics.”

In Iowa, a less diverse state, Clinton’s staff has set up a text messaging competition between University of Iowa and Iowa State University this weekend to see which school can attract more new registered voters.

Marlon Marshall, Clinton’s director of states, said that nearly all Democratic-leaning voters in swing states have had some level of contact from the campaign by this stage in the race.

“And if not, you will soon,” Marshall said.

As in past elections, Democrats are urging people, particularly less reliable voters, to vote during early voting periods. RNC officials know Democrats have a better chance of banking more votes during early voting, but they too are instructing field staff to push low-propensity voters to vote before Nov. 8, to try to offset Clinton’s advantage.

Jeremy Bird, Obama’s chief data analyst in 2012 and a Clinton consultant, said that if the campaigns are doing their jobs right, early voting data will tell the story of the election.

“Sophisticated campaigns will know by mid-October how the election is likely to end up,” Bird said.

Fire director says 9 dead in Memphis house fire MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Nine people — five children and four adults — died early Monday in Memphis’ deadliest house fire in decades, and one other child is fighting for life at a hospital, authorities said.

Firefighters were called about 1:20 a.m. to a house in south Memphis and found light smoke coming from the one-story, woodframe residence, Memphis Fire Services Director Gina Sweat said at a news conference.

Fire crews entered the house and found four adults and three children dead inside, Sweat said.

Two other children died after being taken to Le Bonheur Children’s Hos-

pital in extremely critical condition, she said.

One other child remains hospitalized, said Sweat, calling it the deadliest fire in Memphis since the 1920s. More recently, seven people died in a fire in Memphis in 2008, fire department spokesman Wayne Cooke said.

The identities of the dead have not been released.

Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland asked for prayers for family members of the dead.

“It’s a very sad day,” Strickland said. “We are all in mourning.”

The fire apparently began in the living room, but an exact cause has not been determined,

Sweat said. Some of the victims had signs of smoke inhalation, while others had burns, she said.

A smoke detector was found in the building, but it was damaged and officials didn’t immediately know if it was working at the time of the fire, Sweat said.

The home also had bars on the windows. Sweat said it was not immediately clear if those inside tried to escape through the windows. Sweat said window

bars present a danger for people trying to escape a house fire, though many window bars have releases that can open them from the inside.

“They could have been simply overcome by smoke and never had an opportunity to escape,” she said.

Sweat went to the site and spoke with firefighters.

“You could feel the heavy in their hearts, and you could see the pain in their eyes,” she said.

About 800 sex offenders have moved to Newton prison NEWTON (AP) — Iowa has moved about 800 sex offenders to the Newton Correctional Facility, where they will now be housed.

The Des Moines Register reports state officials decided to move the sex offender treatment program to the Newton prison because it is more secure than the Mount Pleasant Correctional Facility it was based at before.

Associate Warden Sean Crawford says having a secure facility with cells gives the program options.

“We have that opportunity where if somebody is removed from treatment for a behavioral report or some sort of incident, we can keep them here and work them through a process in order to get them back into treatment,” said Crawford, who oversees sex offender treatment. “At Mount Pleasant, we would have to transfer them to a higher-security facility.”

The Newton prison has 1,264 inmates. The number of sex offenders will be limited to about 800.

Officials with the union that represents corrections officers say they aren’t aware of any problems that have come with the transfers to Newton.

Newton Warden Kris Weitzell said the location of the sex offender program shouldn’t create any new worries about public safety.

The medium-security prison is surrounded by fences topped with razor wire, and it is monitored by surveillance cameras and other sensors.

“We continue our main mission, which is to protect the public, the staff and the offenders,” Weitzell said. “We continue to follow all of our security protocols.”

Label this ‘irritating’ Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about clothing labels. A reader wrote: “Why do clothing manufacturers persist in putting scratchy labels in the necks of shirts and nightwear? I have two brand-new garments that I put holes in trying to remove the uncomfortable labels!

“The least they could do is give us a fighting chance of successfully removing the labels (without damaging our new clothes) by sewing them in with long stitches in a contrasting color of thread. Better yet, no label in the neck at all.

Horoscope For Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Use tact and diplomacy to avoid conflict with others at work today! Silly errors and delays at work might be part of this picture.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Parents must be patient with their kids today; likewise, romantic partners must be patient with each other. In sports, fights and accidents are likely.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Domestic tension on the home front is likely today, especially with a parent or an authority figure. Instead, use your feisty energy to work on home repairs and DIY projects.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Mercury retrograde is wreaking havoc in your life, causing transportation delays and mixed-up communications.

This could be the reason that you are short-tempered with others today. Chill out.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Arguments about money and possessions are likely today.

Don’t throw your weight around. Remember that you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the Sun is in your sign at odds with fiery Mars.

This makes you aggressive, quick to bark and quick to anger. Your best friend will be your own patience. Remember this.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Something going on behind the scenes might bother you today. Because you feel generally disgruntled, you will be impatient with others. Do your best to stay calm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A fight with a friend or a member of a group might break out today, especially about money, funding or a particular possession. You gain nothing by fighting with anyone, right?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) An authority figure might get your goat today. If so, do not sound off, because this could cost you in the long run. Instead, go out for a jog or a bike ride. You love the outdoors!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they quickly will disintegrate into arguments. Ego conflicts are taking place everywhere!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Disputes about inheritances and shared property are likely today. Don’t get involved, because this will resolve nothing. Stay frosty.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) An argument with your partner or close friend might break out today because of sheer impatience and frustration. But what will this gain? It won’t improve anything.

YOU BORN TODAY You are hardworking and ambitious, and you like things to be in order. You are caring and

most generous. Initially, this year begins quietly, which is why you might not see major changes until next year; however, it will be a year of growth, construction and building. Do what you can to reduce your debt and strengthen your financial position, because you are building for your future!

“DSP Recognition Week is one way we try to say, ‘thank you’ to the people who turn the intentions of our laws and regulations written to provide opportunities for people with disabilities into actions,” said Barbara Merrill, CEO of ANCOR. “It’s also a very im-

portant reminder to our legislators and policymakers that this workforce is essential, and their wages and training deserve attention as states set rates for home and community based services.”

Area football: East Union pulls away from Murray

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

AFTON — Defenses ruled much of the first half in Friday’s Eight-player District 6 matchup between East Union and Murray.

East Union was finally able to crack the Murray defense in the second half in rolling to a 44-12 win.

The game was delayed by 45 minutes because of inclement weather around halftime.

The delay allowed the East Union coaching staff an opportunity to make some tweaks to its offense.

A night for the ages n

Shiltz goes wild as Panthers topple Harlan

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

It’s not an ordinary night for anyone in football to account for eight touchdowns in one game or to do so in five different ways.

Then again, not many people are surprised anymore when Chase Shiltz pulls off what to others would be unthinkable.

Shiltz ran for 307 yards and four touchdowns on 28 carries, scored a 38-yard receiving touchdown, and returned a kickoff (90 yards) and fumble recovery (off of an Evan Jacobson forced fumble) for scores in a 7049 Creston/Orient-Macksburg win over Harlan to kick off Class 3A District Morrison 7 play.

“He’s an exceptional player,” Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Brian Morrison said.

“He deserves what he gets because he works hard. He’s a very humble kid. He just works hard and shuts his mouth and does what needs to get done. Pleased with him getting all of the accolades that he gets because he’s a deserving kid.”

Shiltz even threw a touchdown for good measure.

“It was pretty ridiculous,” Shiltz said. “I mean, going back-and-forth, that’s not always the way you want it to happen but our offense was doing real well tonight and our defense came up with some big plays too.”

The good came with the bad in this one. As topsy-turvy as the game was, euphoric highs and befuddling defensive mistakes were just a matter of a few quick ticks of the clock throughout the night.

“It’s never as good or bad as you think it is,” Creston/O-M co-coach Ryan McKim said.

For the offense, it was every bit as good as it sounds.

After Harlan missed a 35yard field goal on its first drive of the game, Shiltz took a run going right, cut it left and sprinted down the Harlan sideline for a 70-yard gain on the Panthers’ first offensive play from scrimmage. Two Shiltz runs later, the Panthers were down to CRESTON| 7A

Creston/Orient-Macksburg quarterback sophomore Kylan Smallwood breaks away for a gain, chased by Harlan sophomore Jon Owens (34), senior Nick Tarney (35) and senior Jacob Wingert (30) during Friday’s Class 3A District 7 football game at Panther Field.

a cannon and toward the end zone for a 59-yard score.

Harlan then forced the first the first Creston/O-M punt of the game on the ensuing drive.

Starting on its own 10 with 1:22 remaining in the third quarter, the Cyclones ran a few plays before switching sides for the fourth quarter. Lined up to punt, Harlan pulled off a successful fake punt. A long pass from Deren Schmitz to Josh Cheek for 68 yards put the Cyclones deep in Panther territory immediately thereafter. Several plays later, Nick Foss found pay dirt once more in the form of a two-yard touchdown.

With 10:15 left in the game the Panthers were up just 5649.

The Panthers responded.

Harlan chose to kick the ball to the sideline, and out of bounds, after being burned several times by Shiltz and Carlson.

But it didn’t matter, as a Shiltz direct snap run moved the Panthers from their own 35 to the Harlan 34. Six plays later, Shiltz was in the end zone once more to increase Creston/O-M’s advantage to 63-49. “All of our guys played great,� McKim said. “Chase carries the ball a lot and he gets the spotlight and Chase is an elite, phenomenal, once-in a lifetime type of player, but we have everybody on all three phases doing their job and playing the next play and that’s what will get us to where we want to be.�

Game-changing turnover With Harlan driving again on the Panthers’ side of the field, Jackson Mikkelsen came up with what might have been the play of the

night when he stripped the ball from the Cyclones’ Foss with about six minutes remaining. Kolby Tomas made the recovery. “Those three turnovers really dictated the outcome of the football game,� Morrison said, referring also to Smallwood’s first-half interception and Shiltz’s fumble recovery for a touchdown.

A Smallwood 23-yard run and a handful of bulldozing Shiltz runs landed the senior back another score, this time to seal the deal with 2:25 to go with the Panthers up 7049.

McKim couldn’t recall being part of such a wild game. “Never been a part of anything like that,� McKim said. “I was proud of how our guys kept playing. That was a marathon and our guys just kept playing and we keep talking to them all the time, about ‘next play, next play’ and you know for four quarters we did, we kept playing to the next play.�

On the night, Creston/O-M had 517 total yards, 377 coming on the ground. “We felt very strong offensively as far as coming into this game what we could do against this team,� Morrison said. “Our offensive line is getting better every week and it shows. They physically dominated the football game from the get-go. And our skill kids did an outstanding job, the scheme was set up perfectly for their defense.�

The Panthers weathered the Cyclone storm. Creston/O-M surrendered 645 yards, a school-record for Harlan. The Cyclones ran for nearly 300 yards in addition to their 300+ passing.

Without a doubt, Morrison has some things he wants to address with his team’s defense. “Definitely have to watch

film and see what we were doing wrong,� Morrison said. “Defensively we were out of place, we weren’t doing the right thing it seemed like a majority of the time. Based on their formations, they showed us a lot of different looks, we just weren’t lining up against those looks.�

Panther volleyball takes third at Shenandoah Tournament

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

SHENANDOAH — From a physical standpoint, Creston’s volleyball team has the pieces to be consistently successful on the court.

It’s the part between the ears that coach Polly Luther’s team needs to work on right now.

The Panthers found out how they need to grow in the mental game after going 4-2 Saturday at the Shenandoah Tournament.

The Panthers defeated Fremont-Mills and Bedford and fell to Essex in pool play. The Panthers fell to Shenandoah in the semifinals, P. Luther but defeated Stanton for third place.

“We played well at times, at other times we did not play well,” Luther said.

The mental part of the game has the most room for growth going

forward.

“Sometimes, we don’t succeed at that part of the game, that’s the biggest thing,” Luther said. “The skill is there. The mental side is something we really need to focus on.”

The Panthers won the first set in both of their losses, but then dropped the next two.

“Momentum is huge,” Luther said. “When you have that rolling your way, you have to continue with that. That’s something we have to figure out.”

Some changes the Panthers

made in 10 days between matches worked well.

“We moved around some people in different spots,” Luther said. “I was happy with Maitlen most of that.”

Now it’s fine-tuning the mental side of the game.

“They know what they need to do,” Luther said. “It’s gaining that confidence. They’re capable of doing it. We need to continue to do

East Union’s offense responded.

“We were able to make some adjustments,” said East Union co-coach James Hardy. “That’s part of the game is making adjustments.”

The Eagles tweaked a few of their blocking schemes.

Those adjustments paid dividends.

“We were able to go in and talk about some of the blocking schemes against what they were doing,” Hardy said. “That really made a different. Part of the game is making adjustments.”

The Mustangs were without ace running back Jack Jones. Jones suffered a toe injury in a freak accident while lifting on Wednesday.

Jones’ absence was felt, particularly on offense.

“Not having Jack Jones hurt,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton.

Jones’ injury, which smashed his big toe when weights fell on it, required 22 stitches to seal up.

“It really, really hurt not having Jones,” Fulton said.

“He feels pretty bad about it.

He thinks he let everybody down. It could’ve happened to anybody. It was just unlucky.”

The timing of the injury limited the adjustments Murray could make before playing East Union.

“We didn’t have a lot of time to get in there and prep,” Fulton said.

Murray’s offense struggled to find any consistent momentum without Jones in the backfield.

“Losing a player of Jones’ caliber hurts,” Fulton said.

“East Union is big and physical and we lost a physical runner.”

Murray’s defense kept East Union’s offense at bay for much of the first three quarters.

“Our defense played amazing the first half,” said Fulton.

East Union’s lone first half score came on a 28-yard pass from Sanden Cheers to Gabe Nixon with 25 seconds left before halftime. Cheers and Nixon connected on the two-point conversion for an 8-0 lead.

Murray reached the scoreboard later in the third quarter on a 19-yard run by Zane Black. The pass for the twopoint conversion failed, leaving East Union with an 8-6 lead East Union’s defense held firm throughout. The Eagles held the Mustang offense to three yards rushing on 35 attempts. Murray was held to 65 yards of total offense.

“Our defense played great until we could figure out what we needed to do with our offense,” Hardy said.

The Eagles defense even was a part of the scoring column when Mason Gossman returned a Black pass 37-yards for a touchdown that gave East Union the lead for good, 14-6 late in the third quarter.

Murray countered in a 42-yard touchdown run by Dustin Teas late in the third quarter. The two-point try was again unsuccessful, leav-

ing East Union up by two, 14-12.

East Union took over from there. Cheers and Gossman connected again on a long touchdown pass, this time from 60-yards. The conversion run failed, pushing the lead to 20-12.

After a Murray turnover, East Union quickly capitalized. Cheers finished a short drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. Matthew Wittstock’s run for the two-point conversion extended the lead to 28-12.

Wittstock kept the momentum going for East Union later in the fourth quarter with a 2-yard touchdown run. He then ran in for the two-point conversion, pushing the lead to 36-12.

Wittstock capped the scoring with a 5-yard run. A Cheers pass to Gossman for the twopoint conversion produced the final scoring.

Wittstock rushed for 95 yards on 22 carries. Cheers completed 9-of-19 passes for 141 yards and two scores.

Gossman caught five passes for 84 yards and one score.

Nixon caught seven passes for 88 yards and one score.

For Murray, Teas had 34 yards rushing on 13 carries.

Black completed 9-of-25 passes for 62 yards and two interceptions. Bryce Keller had seven catches for 43 yards.

Defensively for Murray, Teas had six solo tackles and nine assists. Josh Barber had six solos, six assists and two tackles for loss. Devin Slaughter had a fumble recovery. Josh Webb had four solos, four assists, a fumble recovery and an intercep-

tion.

Defensively for East Union, Cheers had eight solo tackles. Nixon had four solos and two assists. Lane Ripperger had three solos and three assists. Colton Abell had four solo tackles and one assist. Beau Boswell had four solos and three assists.

UP NEXT — East Union (3-0, 2-0) is on the road at Mormon Trail. The Saints (0-3, 0-1) fell to Bedford 18-0 in a game called late in the first quarter.

“We’ll get in, get our film prep in and get to work,” Hardy said.

Murray (2-1, 0-1) is on the road at Lenox. The Tigers (2-1, 1-0) defeated Wayne 50-14 Friday.

Friday is Homecoming night in Murray.

“We’re looking forward to playing in front of a nice home crowd,” Fulton said.

“Hopefully we can perform for them. We plan on playing a heck of a game. Lenox has good guys and a good program. They’re well coached.

Lenox is going to be a good game and we look forward to the test.”

ter the lights automatically turned off at 11:45 p.m.

By the time the game was completed around 12:20 a.m.

Saturday morning, the Cardinals were able to complete a solid 29-13 win.

All of the delays challenged the mettle of both teams.

“That was pretty crazy,” said Central Decatur coach Jon Pedersen. “It’s awfully tough to play a game like that. You’re ready, then you sit. You’re ready and then you sit.”

Central Decatur quarterback Carter Boothe and company had good success both in the air and on the ground. Boothe passed for 198 yards and two touchdowns.

Cayla Maitlen had 30 kills and 10 digs. Taylor Buxton had 17 kills and 15 digs. Breanna Wallace had 13 kills, 11 digs and 10 ace serves.

Hannah Hood had 12 kills. Megan Haley had 13 mills and three ace serves. Jaxie Luther had 74 assists and eight ace serves.

Creston (4-4) is at St. Albert Tuesday then hosts Denison-Schleswig Thursday, then travels to Red Oak for a tournament Saturday.

The Cardinals took advantage of mistakes by the Raiders. A couple bad snaps resulted in Central Decatur scoring the game’s first two points on a safety early in the first quarter.

Mount Ayr was mounting a charge on the ensuing drive. The Raiders drove inside the Cardinals’ 10-yard line and looked like they had scored, but the ball was ruled out of the Raiders’ ball-carriers’ hands before crossing the goal line. Central Decatur recovered and took over on its own 1-yard line.

Boothe and company responded. Boothe found Lukas Meyer for a 61-yard strike. After a successful extra point, Central Decatur led 9-0.

“We were practicing that all week making sure we were nice and crisp,” Boothe said.

Boothe was impressive on tape leading into the game and showed it.

“He’s everything that we expected him to be,” said Mount Ayr coach Delwyn Showalter.

Boothe also showed off his legs, rushing for 83 yards on 18 carries with one touchdown.

“We gave him some alleys to run,” Showalter said. “We were really concerned with their passing game. They had some nice passes, but we never really forced them to have to pass.”

Central Decatur’s front line overpowered Mount Ayr on both sides of the ball much of the game. The Car-

dinals rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns.

The Cardinals defensive line also controlled the Raiders offensive line effectively much of the game.

“That’s what we told our guys all week that it was going to be won or lost up front, whoever controlled the line of scrimmage,” Showalter said. “They were better on the line than we were.”

Later in the first quarter, the big-play capability of Central Decatur struck again. Boothe connected with Micky Morgan on a 73yard pass for a 16-0 lead.

Early in the second quarter, the Cardinals moved the lead to 23-0 courtesy of a 9-yard Tyke Walker touchdown run.

Central Decatur’s offensive line created plenty of room for the Cardinals to run and time for Boothe to pass.

Then with 4:11 before halftime, Mother Nature took over. An impressive display of lightning sent both teams back to their respective dressing rooms. The lightning persisted for some time, before finally abating around 10:30 p.m.

Mount Ayr was able to finally put together a sustained scoring drive. John Young capped the drive with an 8-yard touchdown run to cut Central Decatur’s lead to 23-6.

“You take a guy like that out its going to make a difference,” Showalter said.

Tullberg, Tigers race past Wayne

CORYDON — Wayne stopped the Lenox option attack early in Friday’s Eight-player District 6 matchup.

The Tigers adjusted, and adjusted quite well.

Behind a wide-open attack, the Tigers were able to find plenty of room to maneuver in rolling to a 50-14 win.

Lenox coach Matt Malausky noted how a shift to the trips package allowed the Tigers to control the game offensively.

“They did a good job shutting down our option at first,” Malausky said. “We do have a trips package. We started throwing the ball a little bit.”

One deep pass early from Dawson Tullberg was a sign of things to come.

While the pass was just barely incomplete, Tullberg the Tigers knew they could throw.

“We came back into that package,” Malausky said.

Tullberg found an open Jared Hensely for a 70-yard touchdown.

The Tigers never looked back.

“That got the ball rolling,” Malausky said.

Lenox’s ability to be diverse offensively showed in adjusting to the Wayne defense.

“We told them after the game that (the pass) wasn’t in our game plan at all,” Malausky said. “It shows how versatile they can be.”

Wayne adjusted its defense to cover the Lenox receivers.

All that did was open gaping holes for Tullberg to run through. Thanks to good blocking up front and from the receivers down the field, Tullberg was able to find the endzone five times on the ground. He scored on runs of 44, 45, 45, 22 and 3 yards.

“Dawson had a lot of rushing yards out of that (the trips) formation,” Malausky

said. “They manned up on their coverage. There would be a running lane. One guy would miss and he’d be off to the races.”

Tullberg showed his versatility, using his arm and his feet equally effectively.

Tullberg finished completing 8-of20 passes for 152 yards and Malausky two touchdowns. He had 218 yards rushing on 21 carries and the four touchdowns.

Tullberg’s strong mental approach shined.

“He didn’t want to make a bad decision with the ball so he made it with his feet,” Malausky said. Hensley caught three passes for 106 yards and a touchdown, while for 42 yards. Sam Donaldson had two catches for 26 yards and one touchdown.

The Lenox defense more than held its own against the Wayne offense. The Tigers held the Falcons to minus-17 yard in the first quarter.

“The defense has been doing a great job the past couple of weeks,” Malausky said.

Derek Venteicher led the defense with seven solo tackles, four assists and a sack.

Aaron Schmitz had five solos and six assists. Brenden Christensen had three solos, four assists and a fumble recovery. Colby Lange had a sack. Tullberg had an interception for a touchdown.

The game was delayed by an hour because of lightning.

There was some discussion about coming back Saturday, but between it being a long trip for Lenox and the players having other commitments, the decision was made to play on.

“We went back and treated it like it was the beginning of the game again,” Malausky said.

UP NEXT — Lenox (2-0, 1-0) hosts Murray in Eight-player District 6 play.

The Mustangs (2-1, 0-1) fell 44-12 at East Union.

“Every game is a big district game,” Malausky said.

“You’ve got to put yourselves in position to be in that top one or two spots.”

Timberwolves hang tight with Earlham EARLHAM — Southwest Valley’s defense kept the Timberwolves in the game for much of Friday’s Class A District 7 game at Earlham.

The Timberwolves offense just couldn’t come up with a big drive it needed. The Cardinals then pulled away late to earn a 32-14 win.

Earlham led 20-14 late in the fourth quarter when it s c o r e d twice in the waning moments.

T h e C a r d i n a l s Donahoo offense played keep away from the Timberwolves for most of the second half.

After a scoreless third quarter, the Timberwolves defense held for most of the fourth quarter.

But the Cardinals seldom gave the ball up.

“We couldn’t the ball back,” said Southwest Valley coach Anthony Donahoo.

The Cardinals jumped out to a 20-14 lead at halftime behind a bruising attack.

“It was hard fought on both sides,” Donahoo said.

“It started chippy. The kids weren’t ready for their physicality right off the bat.”

The Timberwolves got back in the game late in the second quarter to make it 20-14.

Earlham’s defense contained Southwest Valley’s rushing attack most of the game. When the Timberwolves had to pass, quarterback Chance Cobb was often flustered.

“Chance Cobb didn’t have much time to throw. They sent a lot of pressure,” Donahoo said. “We couldn’t get

anything going on the ground.

That mades it tough.”

Earlham’s defense prevented Southwest Valley from changing the game with a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

“We couldn’t get anything going,” Donahoo said. “It was one of those games where I wish I had one more possession.”

Cobb was held to 4-of-13 passing for 99 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Cobb led the way on the ground with 79 yards on 11 carries. Grant Maurer had three receptions for 80 yards and one touchdown. Jerad Shires had the other touchdown.

UP NEXT — Southwest Valley (1-2, 0-1) hosts Griswold Friday. Griswold (2-1, 1-0) defeated Riverside, Oakland, 36-12.

Friday will be Homecoming night in Corning.

The Timberwolves will look to snap a two-game skid.

“We told the kids that winning solves everything,” Donahoo said. “We’ll see what we did wrong and get after it.”

Falcons roll past Wolverines GREENFIELD — The good news for Nodaway Valley during Friday’s Class A District 7 game against St. Albert was it finally found the endzone for the first time this season.

Jared Corder found the endzone on an 80-yard run.

Another bright spot was improved pass blocking by the Wolverines’ offensive line.

“Our pass blocking was really good,” said Nodaway Valley coach Steve Shantz.

“We really worked on our pass blocking.”

But it was one of the few bright spots for the Wolverines on this Friday.

The Class A fourth-ranked Falcons flexed their muscle in rolling to a 65-6 win.

its offense to work with. The Falcons picked off a Wolverines pass on Nodaway Valley’s first drive. A few plays later, the Falcons found the endzone.

Disaster struck Nodaway Valley early in its next series when the Wolverines fumbled deep in its own territory.

A handful of plays later, the Falcons were back in the endzone.

Nodaway Valley was forced to punt. The Falcons returned it inside the Wolverines 20yard line. A few plays later, the Falcons scored again.

The Falcon defense forced a safety for two more points.

St. Albert then took the ensuing kickoff back for a touchdown.

“It was a tough one,” Shantz said. “It was a mess.”

Things got worse for the Wolverines as middle linebacker and offensive guard Josh Allsup went down with a knee injury St. Albert’s size and speed was too much for Nodaway Valley.

“They’re l o n g . Shantz They’ve got some tall guys that are athletic.

They’ve got some size to them,” Shantz said. “They’re a good team.”

Nodaway Valley’s second team was able to play the entire second half, a bonus after the Wolverines had to cancel their JV season because of a lack of numbers.

“That was good for them,” Shantz said. “They don’t get to see to much of that this year. They competed. Our kids never quit.”

UP NEXT — Nodaway Valley (0-3, 0-1) is on the road at Oakland against Riverside.

The Bulldogs (0-3, 0-1) fell to Griswold 36-12.

“We need to get some confidence right now,” Shantz said. “Hopefully we can do that.”

Cy-Hawk game: Hawkeyes dismantle Cyclones 42-3 AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY (AP) — Funny things tend to happen when Iowa and Iowa State get together.

This year’s matchup was a record-setting rout for the Hawkeyes — and it ended with a wedding engagement for one of Iowa’s biggest stars C.J. Beathard threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns and 16th-ranked Iowa throttled Iowa State 42-3 on Saturday night, its biggest win over the rival Cyclones in 18 seasons under coach Kirk Ferentz.

Matt VandeBerg had 129 yards receiving and a touchdown for the Hawkeyes. But VandeBerg’s performance will likely be his second favorite memory of a night he finished by proposing to his girlfriend, who said yes.

Asked if he would’ve popped the question had Iowa lost, Vandeberg joked that “we didn’t lose, so I don’t have to answer that question.”

Losing never seemed like an option for Iowa.

LeShun Daniels rushed for 112 yards and a TD to help the Hawkeyes (2-0) beat Iowa State in consecutive seasons for the first time in six years.

Beathard put the game out of reach with the three TD passes in the first half — including a brilliant 12-yard toss to a heavily defended VandeBerg.

“Certain games, when you get a couple of completions and you get in a groove,” said Beathard, who was 19of-28 passing. “The guys were making the plays that needed to be made.”

By jumping out to a big

lead, the Hawkeyes negated Iowa State’s efforts to get star back Mike Warren going after a rough opener.

Warren, who led all freshmen nationally with 1,337 yards a year ago, had just 28 on seven carries.

Joel Lanning was 8 of 20 for 86 yards and an interception for Iowa State and was pulled late in the third quarter for Jacob Park, setting up a potential quarterback controversy just two games into the season.

“I think we’ll sit down and figure that situation out and really make the best decision as we move forward,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.

THE TAKEAWAY IOWA: The Hawkeyes offense has the potential to be one of the best that Ferentz has ever had. Iowa did basically whatever it wanted in the first half, gaining 153 yards in the air, 113 on the ground and scoring 28 points. Beathard and VandeBerg, both seniors, hooked up for a number of tough receptions in tight windows and Daniels and Akrum Wadley — who had a rushing and receiving TD — combined for their second straight strong performance. “It’s a lot of hard work. Everyone was doing an excellent job of executing on the offensive side of the ball,” Daniels said.

IOWA STATE: Former coach Paul Rhoads said in his final press conference that the Cyclones would go to a bowl in 2016. That looks highly unlikely — and it’s only the middle of September. Iowa State was hoping to pull off an upset over the favored Hawkeyes like it did in 2012 and 2014. But by the middle of the first quar-

ter, it was clear they didn’t have a chance.

POLL IMPLICATIONS The Hawkeyes could potentially move up a few spots — simply because

they’ve done what they were expected to do while other teams have stumbled.

NOTABLES Iowa State had a fourthdown and 1 at the Iowa 36

late in the first half down 28-3. The Cyclones were flagged for an illegal formation, and Lanning was sacked to end the half. Iowa State was also called for two

ineligible receiver penalties in three plays in the fourth quarter. ...Allen Lazard had 111 yards receiving in a losing effort.

Heartland Homecoming paintings on display GREENFIELD – The Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield is the destination of a treasure from Aug. 1 to Sept. 30 in housing the Duende as Art display, Heartland Homecoming.

Duende is a Flamenco Dance term which means “when the Spirit and the dancer become one.” Its website is www.duendeasart.com.

What makes this particular art show of abstract acrylic paintings so unique is the paintings are done collaboratively by three artists. The trio has a diverse background with Katherine Rody from Wisconsin and Angela Meijer born in Oregon, while Adriaan Meijer

hales from the Netherlands.

Life has brought them to Ankeny.

This artist collective has no preconceived visions of what the finished art may become as it is a flow of change. A work may take an entirely different direction by one of the artists introducing a new idea and by the others adding new twists. At times, each may take a turn on a painting as a soloist, but at other times they simultaneously paint together. All three artists deeply identify with these co-created works.
