Crowd goes wild for softball team during welcome home championship pep rally

If you want something badly enough, you can make it happen.

It was one year ago during a welcome home reception for the Clarke’s runner-up state softball team that Coach Lindsay Diehl said, “We’re going to go back next year and we’re going to win the whole thing.”

She was right.

The 3A softball title game was a championship rematch between Clarke and Bondurant-Farrar.

Unlike last year, the odds turned in Clarke’s favor with the Lady Indians winning 7-6 after a walkoff home run by senior Carley Robins.

Back in town After winning the title game Friday afternoon, the softball team was escorted into Osceola by a fleet of law enforcement vehicles.

The last time Clarke won a softball championship title was in 1995.

A homecoming reception pep rally was held Friday evening as dusk began to fall and the lights were turned on around the courthouse square.

As the vehicles pulled in, “We Are The Champions,” by Queen was blared over the sound speakers that were set up.

Once the team and coaches made their way to the bandstand, the crowd erupted with cheers of “Coach, coach, coach, coach!”

They wanted to hear a victory speech, and they got one.

As Diehl made her way to the center of the stage, someone shouted to her, “Don’t cry!”

FORT DODGE — When “Yeah, I’ve cried enough,” Diehl said. “I don’t know if I Carley Robins stepped to have any more tears left, but, I was there in 1995 when they the plate here Friday afwon the state championship as a seventh grader. I couldn’t ternoon in the bottom of the seventh inning in the Please see Class 3A state championPEP RALLY, Page 4 ship game, at least one person believed she would hit a walkoff home run to give Clarke its second state softball championship.

Senior first baseman Devon Carson called the home run from the dugout. Carson’s prophetic words had right fielder McKenzi Otto convinced.

“When Carley got up to bat, I just knew it in my stomach,” Otto said. “Even Devon Carson, she was standing next to me, she was like, ‘It’s time for one of Carley Robins’ home runs.’ I knew we were going to score in that inning. Our lineup is solid all the way through.”

bat, I was like, “I feel Carley is going to hit one right now for us,’” Carson said. “And she did. I just started crying.

There were no words. I just started crying.”

For seniors Libby Bemis, Kennedy Crees and Brenna Paul, there was no doubt about where the ball would land after it left Robins’ bat.

“I knew it was gone right when she hit it,” Crees said.

“I ran out of the dugout. I was just screaming. I think I was in shock a little bit. I’m happy for her.”

“I knew it was gone,” Paul said. “It was gone! I was excited.”

Pitchers don’t typically like to see the ball leave the diamond in a hurry like the Robins home run did, but Bemis enjoyed this home run, which assistant coach Staci Ritchey estimated at 230 feet.

“As soon as she made contact, you knew it was gone,” Bemis said. “She just crushed that ball. We went crazy and it was an amazing feeling.”

imagine what that feeling was like, and I finally get to say that I took a bunch of kids up to Fort Dodge and we know what that feeling is like to bring home a championship!”

Celebration Later on in the rally, the softball team danced to Miley Cyrus’ song, “We Can’t Stop.” It was their unofficial anthem from the 2013 season.

A special cake that had been baked and decorated only a few hours before the rally was presented to the team.

At first, the cake was cut into even pieces and the girls ate it with good manners.

However, the situation turned into

a good-natured recipe for disaster because cake and frosting soon ended up getting smashed into people’s faces.

Diehl said she wanted to thank the crowd for supporting the team and celebrating the win.

Throughout the entire rally, Diehl had to pause in her speech for cheers, whistles and applause.

She joked that it seemed like the evening’s crowd was made up of the entire population of Osceola.

“This group of kids is so special,” Diehl said. “They have made a tradition that I plan on going back to Fort Dodge over and over, so I hope that you’ll do it with us again next year. Thank you so much.”

BACK IN TIME Osceola depots

By Marie White

Clarke County Historical Society

According to an Illustrated Historical Atlas of the State of Iowa circa 1875, the first C B and Q depot was located about four blocks west of the square on Jefferson Street.

The depot was moved sometime later to the Main Street location. The depot later was moved again by cable far enough west to clear the location for the new (present) depot that was to be built in 1907.

In February 1907, a traveling man had the solution for the future of the old depot, stating it would only take a small amount of space in the valuable paper to discuss it.

He went on to say that traveling men have many friends among the fair ladies of Osceola who meet them at the trains.

In stormy weather, it is hard upon both the men and the young ladies to walk to their homes after the trains come in, especially if it is a night train.

It struck him that the old depot could be repaired and fitted up in a cozy manner so the lady friends could entertain the men there and avoid the difficulties mentioned above.

Some of the good matrons of the city could chaperon the fair girls which would make the incident all that conventionality calls for.

This idea was somewhat of a departure from the present custom in Osceola, but he could

see nothing against it and that he would furnish $5.00 to a fund to put it through.

He had no doubt the other traveling men who came to Osceola regularly would also contribute their share.

He sent his name as an evidence of good faith, but not necessarily for publication. The letter was signed “Yours Respectfully, a Traveling Man.” It had been a settled fact the old depot would be quickly moved from its present site.

In May 1907, the old depot was purchased by J. V. Banta and Sons and was torn down and the lumber hauled to a lot owned by a McNeal family in the south part of town to be used in building of a residence at a future date.

SPORTS Area athletes shine at Shrine Bowl THURSDAY • JULY 31, 2014

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

CEDAR FALLS — The 42nd annual Iowa Shrine Bowl here Saturday at the UNI Dome featured five area athletes, all of whom made his mark on the game.

Playing on the South squad in the game were Trevor Frain of Creston/ Orient-Macksburg, Jacob Sobotka of Mount Ayr, Keegan Longabaugh of Southwest Valley, Andrew Rider of Murray and Briar Vogel of Interstate 35.

For four of the five, it was their first opportunity to play at the UNI Dome.

Only Rider had played in the UNI Dome, having played there twice for the Murray Mustangs.

“It was the greatest experience of my life,” Longabaugh said. “I’ve never

played on this field before.

First step in here, it was like a baby seeing brand new candy here. It was perfect.”

Defensive stalwarts All five area players played on the defensive side of the ball in Saturday’s game, while Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison, an assistant on the South team, coached offense.

The South held the North team to just one touchdown in the game, rolling to a 23-7 victory.

The defensive effort was led by Sobotka, who will be continuing his playing career at the University of Iowa.

Sobotka neared double digits in tackles and also recovered a fumble in the win, earning defensive MVP honors for the South squad.

Vogel saw time at inside

linebacker, while Rider played cornerback. Vogel made several tackles in the game.

“It was awesome, especially to compete with some of these kids with the level they’re going at,” Vogel said. “Great kids, big kids, athletic kids that are going places. It was awesome to see what they could Vogel do.”

Vogel said it was an experience he’ll never forget.

“What they’re doing with these kids and what they provide for us, I couldn’t be more appreciative of what they’re doing,” he said. “They informed us a lot of what the Shriners are for, and I’m just glad to be a part of it.”

Briar Vogel of Interstate 35 (right) wraps up a ballcarrier for the North squad, as South squad teammate Jacob Sobotka (12) moves in to help make the tackle in Saturday’s Shrine Bowl at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls. It was the final game of Vogel’s career, as he will be attending Iowa State University, but will not be playing football.

Rider, who made a career out of returning punts for touchdowns, did not get an opportunity to return any punts, as the North punted away from his side of the field.

“It would have been interesting to see him get his hands on the ball one time up there on the UNI Dome field, since he’s had great success for us up there in the past,” former Murray head football coach Keith Shields said.

Rider did, however, make a big open field tackle to prevent a big gain by the North.

“I think it was a situation where the North team had just gotten its touchdown and gotten the ball back,” Shields said. “It was a third and long play, and he stopped the quarterback after about 7 or 8 yards, and shut down their

momentum they had there, as well.”

In playing in the Shrine B o w l , R i d e r became the first Murray player to ever be selected to com- Rider pete in the game.

“It was exciting to see him get out and on the field,” Shields said. “I know it was exciting for him to interact with some of the kids. I thought that South group really worked well together. They really played a pretty good game.”

Morrison said being involved in the game gave him a greater appreciation of what it’s all about.

7 SPORTS Sandquist, Bemis play in IGCA All-Star Games OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

WAUKEE — Creston head softball coach Mike McCabe proudly represented Creston High School here Monday evening as one of the coaches for the White All-Star team at the Iowa Girls Coaches Association Senior All-Star Game.

McCabe, along with Akron-Westfield head coach Todd Colt, combined to lead the White team to a 1-1 record for the day.

It was an enjoyable experience for McCabe.

“Well, it was easy!” McCabe said. “They made it look pretty easy. It was a blast. I said I’m going to get to do this one time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of kids. They had a

THURSDAY • JULY 31, 2014

lot of fun with each other and played hard. Very talented kids and the nicest kids, too.

A tribute to their coaches and their parents. It was a lot of fun.”

One of the players on McCabe’s White team was Jenna Sandquist of the Pride of Iowa Conference champion Interstate 35 Roadrunners.

Sandquist played shortstop and pitched for the Roadrunners, but played third base in the All-Star Game.

“Good player,” McCabe said. “Great kid. I commented earlier, might be one of the nicest kids I’ve ever met.

Please and thank you, was eager to help with equipment — as were all of them. Just good kids.”

McCabe and Colt drafted six shortstops to play on their team, so some athletes had to

play different positions than they were used to.

Sandquist filled a void at third base.

“Yeah, it was a change.

I haven’t played third for about a year, when I played it for travel ball. We had six of our 13 girls were shortstops, so they were just kind of looking for people who had played third before.”

McCabe said the transition into different positions for his players went smoothly, with the only major concern being responsibilities on bunt coverage.

Despite not getting many opportunities to make plays in the field, Sandquist said she was pleased with how she performed, especially when she got a hit in the first game.

“I got a hit off of Paige Lowary, so that kind of made my day,” she said.

Lowary, of Dallas CenterGrimes, will continue her playing career next year at University of Missouri.

“I kind of just wanted to make contact, and I was pretty excited, because obviously I’ve heard of her and all my teammates had been able to go up and hit against her,” Sandquist said. “So I wanted to have a chance and just see what it was like for myself.”

Sandquist laced a single into right field, right on the foul line.

Playing in the final game of her softball career, Sandquist went out a winner as the White team defeated a Blue team that included Clarke’s Libby Bemis, 3-1.

“I was really glad when I found out I was going to be on this team, because no matter what happened in tournament play, I was still going to get to have two more games, because I’m not playing college ball,” Sandquist said.

“So it was nice that I still had these games to look forward to. When I realized it was the last time I’d put on my school jersey and a softball uniform in general, I cried a little bit.”

Bemis, on the other hand, will be continuing her playing career next year at Minnesota State.

Clarke head coach Lindsay Diehl said it was a new experience for her to watch Bemis play from the other side of the fence.

“I texted her when she was getting to come up here yesterday that I was really excited to get to see her represent Clarke one more time,” Diehl said. “It feels weird to be on the other side of the fence to watch her play and not be out there calling pitches. It’s great for her to be up here.”

Bemis pitched for the Blue team, which lost both of its games.

“I thought she did a nice job,” Diehl said. “It’s always tough to come into a situation where you’re playing with kids that you don’t know and you don’t anticipate what they’re going to do.

“I think that’s what’s so great about that group of

REDEMPTION

Robins’ walkoff homer lifts Clarke to 3A state title

By SCOTT VICKER

in a row to send the Lady Indians to the state tournament, last year’s slugfest against New Hampton in the semifinals, Libby Bemis’ perfect game against Spirit Lake in this year’s state tournament opener.

And now there’s the Robins home run that brings Clarke a Class 3A state championship.

“I definitely did not think it was going to be a walkoff home run,” Robins said. “I thought we were going to get out of it in the top of that inning. But that’s probably the best way to go out, I guess, on a walkoff.”

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

FORT DODGE — All week long, Clarke senior pitcher Libby Bemis said “second place isn’t an option.”

After losing last year’s Class 3A state title game to Bondurant-Farrar by a score of 6-3, the Lady Indians were hungry for a state championship this year.

Clarke took control early with a 6-1 lead over the Lady Jays in a rematch of last year’s title game, but saw BondurantFarrar chip away at that lead until eventually tying the score at 6-6 in the top of the seventh inning.

But it took only one swing of the bat from senior Carley Robins in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Clarke its second state softball championship, and first since 1995.

Facing a 2-2 count, Robins smoked a Keely Bycroft pitch over the left field fence, clearing the bleachers, sending the Clarke Robins dugout and cheering section into a frenzy.

The dugout quickly rushed onto the field and awaited a grinning Robins at home plate, as the Lady Indians prevailed 7-6.

“I always say to the kids, they talk about hitting a home run now,” Clarke head coach Lindsay Diehl said. “I always say, ‘No. Get a base hit. If you get a base hit, every now and then, it’s going to go over the fence.’

“I did picture Carley hitting that ball over the fence and said a little prayer,” she continued. “I thought if anybody’s going to do it, she’s going to do it. The way she’s performed in the times we’ve been up here at the state tournament, that’s just what she does. She hits the long ball when it matters.”

Seventh-inning scare

Robins broke the Class 3A record last year with three home runs in a single tournament.

she stepped to the plate in the seventh inning.

“I wasn’t trying to hit it, I just wanted to get at least a base hit,” Robins said. “I hit one Monday, so I was like, ‘I’m probably not going to hit another one.’”

But her teammates believed

in her. Senior first baseman Devon Carson even called the home run from the dugout.

Then, Bycroft grooved a pitch over the inside half of the plate and Robins took advantage.

“I’ve never ran around the bases that fast in my entire

life!” Robins said. “I didn’t cry. I didn’t know what to do. I was just running.”

Add the Robins home run to the list of noteworthy events in Clarke softball the past two years.

There’s the walkoff base hits in regional finals two years

Bondurant-Farrar had cut Clarke’s lead to 6-4 after the fifth inning. Still, the Lady Indians cruised along.

Until the seventh inning.

Bemis induced a pair of groundouts to start the inning, putting Clarke just one out away from the state championship.

But Emily Wilson put a 3-2 pitch into center field for a single. Then Bycroft laced a double to right field, scoring Wilson.

Bycroft was down to her last strike in the at-bat, and then popped a foul down the third base line. Catcher Lexy Carson and third baseman Sara Andrew both went for the ball. Carson had it in her glove, but the two collided and the ball popped loose, giving Bondurant-Farrar new life.

“I want kids to go 100 percent and both of them were going 100 percent for that ball, so you can’t fault a kid for going hard,” Diehl said. “That’s why communication is such an important part of this game.”

Bemis once again found herself one strike away from ending the game, but this time Annika Ekstam hit a single into right field, tying the game.

The Lady Indians finally got out of the inning on a comebacker to the mound.

“I knew to just stay calm and throw my pitches,” Bemis said.

“They’re good hitters and it was right in the middle of their lineup. I threw my pitches and they hit the ball, so I can’t really do anything about it. What

happens, happens and it happens for a reason.”

One key difference in the game came on defense.

Clarke committed just one

error in the game, compared to five by Bondurant-Farrar.

“That’s why we work on fundamentals so much,” Diehl said. “I talk to the kids all the

time. It matters in big games like this to be able to field the ball clean and make plays.

Vanessa Bakley, wow. I stood out there a couple of times

and complimented her on the way she played the ball. I can’t wait to see what she is when she’s a se- Bakley nior.”

But perhaps the biggest error of the game for Bondurant-Farrar was the pitch to Robins in the seventh inning.

“She just threw me that pitch,” Robins said. “She probably shouldn’t have thrown me that. I just wanted to get bat on ball.”

“As soon as she made contact, you knew it was gone,” Bemis said. “She just crushed that ball. We went crazy and it was an amazing feeling.”

Robins and Bemis were named to the Class 3A AllTournament Team for the sec-

ond consecutive year, and were joined by teammates Bakley and Ally Deutsch.

Bemis was Bemis named the captain of the all-tournament team.

Clarke ends its state championship season with a record of 27-8.

Seniors on the team were Bemis, Robins, Devon Carson, Mackenzi Otto, Kennedy Crees and Brenna Paul.

Coming home Diehl was a seventh-grader in 1995 when the Lady Indians made their first appearance at the state tournament and won the state championship.

“I’ll never forget being up here and seeing them win,” an

emotional Diehl said.

“I wish I could have done it myself as a player. But to do it as a coach is a Diehl really special experience. And to do it in my hometown is even more.

I’m so proud of these kids and I’m proud to be a Clarke Indian.”

Loebsack encourages students to apply for fall internships Congressman Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, announced his office is now accepting applications from Iowa college students to participate in a Congressional internship program in his Washington, D.C., office.

The internship program is open to undergraduate students and recent graduates, regardless of major. Fall internships typically begin around Labor Day and run through the end of the year, though some positions are available immediately and specific dates can be set for each individual.

“As a former educator, I have seen the benefits that

internships can provide by giving students a firsthand look into the government process,” Loebsack said. “I encourage all hardworking, motivated students and recent graduates to apply.”

Interns will have the opportunity to learn about the legislative process and the federal government by working closely with the legislative, communications and constituent services staff members. Interested candidates should email their cover letter, resume, a short writing sample and letter of recommendation to LoebsackInternship@mail.house. gov.

Championship win

By Chuck DeVos

Lead pastor LifePoint Church

CLARKE WINS! Congratulations to Coach Lindsay Diehl and the Lady Indians, 2014 Class 3-A State Champions!

But wait, you already knew that, didn’t you. It’s old news, but it’s news that never gets old!

The thing is, there was much more to the season than a game played at 2:30 p.m. last Friday.

There were preseason games, then conference games, then playoff games, then state tournament games, and all of those happened prior to, “The Big Game.”

And, while the team didn’t win every single game they played, they kept working hard, learning, training and playing until they reached their ultimate goal — a state championship. It took faith and heart, two ingredients for all success stories. Case(s) in point: Although it’s been more than seven decades since Babe Ruth played baseball and most of his records have been eclipsed by others, he’s still recognized as the greatest slugger who ever lived.

Time after time, Ruth stepped up to the plate and hammered one out of the park (much like Carley Robins last Friday).

Every survey and ranking lists Babe among the “greatest of the greats” — usually at the top of the heap. It’s no wonder the old Yankee Stadium is still known as “The House that Ruth Built.”

There’s another major league record holder worth noting. His name was Eddie “Cocky” Collins, who played as an infielder for the Athletics and White Sox. Collins played in the early 1900s, and several seasons overlapped with Ruth. Like Babe, Collins was at the top of his game. He led the Athletics to four pennants and three World Series titles. He was selected as the league’s most valuable player in 1914 (Babe Ruth’s rookie season.) One sportswriter recently called him the greatest second baseman in history.

Cocky Collins set a record that still stands today — almost a century after he retired from baseball. He is the all time major league BUNT leader. 512 bunts! That’s over 100 more than the guy in second place.

So, we have two baseball greats before us — one is famous for home runs and other (not so famous) for bunting.

At first glance, holding the bunting record seems less than inspiring. Home runs are much more exiting. The crowd, for instance, doesn’t go bananas when a player decides to OSCEOLA FULL GOSPEL CHURCH, 700 Colorado, Osceola, IA. Pastor James R. Sheesley.

lay down a sacrifice bunt.

With a deeper look, however, a bunt is a many splendid thing. Sacrificial acts for others are, indeed, noble and praiseworthy. We should all assume this posture as we relate to the people around us.

The most valuable players in any team, business or organization are those who ask “How can I serve you?” Rather than “How can YOU serve ME?” Those who selflessly invest their lives behind the scenes to help others advance are the greatest heroes — I think of teachers, medical workers, mothers, cooks, technicians, nurses, custodians, mentors, secretaries and other support staff. The world couldn’t exist without these unsung heroes.

This is what I saw in the 2014 Clarke Lady Indians. They adopted the position that, “It doesn’t matter who gets the credit, as long as the team is moving forward in the right direction.”

Here’s how Jesus said it, “13 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

(John 15:13, NLT) So there are two lessons here. The first, from Babe: Swing for the fence. The Bambino didn’t hold back. He didn’t hesitate. He went for it and took the necessary risk. He committed himself FULLY and didn’t just play it safe. The second, from “Cocky” Collins: Give yourself away. Be willing to sacrifice for others.

And the overall lesson? Well, God put it this way in Ecclesiastes 9:10: Whatever presents itself for you to do, do it with all your might.

Bottom line?

Have a heart like “Cocky” Collins with a faith like Babe Ruth.

When it comes to serving others — make the sacrificial bunt.

When it comes to taking bold steps of faith — swing for the fence.

It takes both to win, as the Lady Indians taught all of us this summer.

Thanks, Coach Diehl and Lady Indians, for a phenomenal season, and CONGRATULATIONS on the state championship! You’ve worked hard and set a great example of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and determination.

Lessons all of us would be wise to learn.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

OST photo by SCOTT VICKER

OST photo by AMY HANSEN

The Clarke softball team sings Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” during a welcome home pep rally Friday night on the square in Osceola. “We Can’t Stop” was the unofficial anthem from the 2013 softball season and it carried over into the 2014 season.

Clarke senior Kennedy Crees leaps into the arms of assistant coach Staci Ritchey following the team’s 7-6 win over Bondurant-Farrar in Friday’s Class 3A state championship game.
