Tuesday weather

By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA staff [email protected]

I t was a challenging week-end for the 44 registered ballonists competing at the 36th annual South-

west Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days in Creston.

The weather cooperated for two of the four planned flights during the weekend celebration.

The fun flight on Friday and Sunday morning’s flight were cancelled because of too much wind.

While the clear skies and calm winds were near perfect condi-tions for spectators watching the balloons fly Saturday, the lack of wind made picking a di-

rection to fly a tough task.

“The winds were probably calmer than they ever have been,” said Balloon Days Event Coor-dinator Roger Lanning. “It was difficult for the competition because of the way the winds were so light.”

Matt Fenster of Bellevue, Neb., won the event. Brad Craig and Todd Isley, both of Carlisle, were second and third, respec-tively.

Shane Arends of Grand Is-land, Neb., was named rookie of the year.Weekend activities

As the balloons hung in the sky waiting for a breeze Satur-day morning, the view provided a backdrop for more than 125 runners as they circled McKin-ley Lake for the Southern Prai-rie YMCA 5K.

Then, the action head-ed uptown for the pa-rade and flea market.

“The bal-loonists were pushed to get back to the pa-rade in time,” Lanning said. “I flew, and we did not get back to the airport until after 10:20.”

At the airport Saturday af-ternoon, Lanning said partici-pation numbers in the pedal pull were way up. More than 70 youngsters competed in the pull.

Melvin F. Davis Creston

Melvin F. Davis, 86, of C r e s t o n died Sept. 19, 2013, at Mercy M e d i c a l C e n t e r in Des Moines.

M e m o -rial servic-es were 10 a.m. today, Sept. 23, at Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25. The Rev. Jerry White and the Rev. Tom Woodin officiated. Burial was in Graceland Cemetery. Me-morials may be given to the Methodist Church. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Melvin Franklin Davis, son of Bertha Leona (Liven-good) and Burton Reno Da-vis, was born April 3, 1927, in Pacific Junction.

Melvin graduated from Creston High School in 1945 and served in the U.S. Navy from 1945-1946, stationed at Treasure Island in San Fran-cisco, Calif.

On Oct. 5, 1947, Melvin

married Betty Louise Burich at the Little Brown Church in Nashua.

Melvin was a longtime Creston resident, where he worked for Burlington Northern Railroad for 42 years as a conductor, retiring in April 1989.

Melvin was a member of the United Methodist Church, United Transporta-tion Union, National Asso-ciation of Retired Veterans Employees and Iowa Model Steam Engineers.

Melvin is survived by his wife Betty Davis of Creston; sons, Mark (wife Gayle) Da-vis of Rock Island, Ill., and Phil (wife Judy) Davis and Wayne (wife Joy) Davis, all of Creston; grandchildren, Angela (husband Erich) Vi-erkant of Kohler, Wis., Brad (wife Julie) Davis of Balti-more, Md., Liza Cox of Fort Worth, Texas, Jessie (hus-band Jared) Carter of Cres-ton and Ben Davis and Anne (husband Kaj) O’Mara, all of Cedar Rapids; 11 great-grandchildren; brother-law Don Burich of Creston; sev-eral nieces and nephews.

drew about the same number of participants as last year.

After Saturday after-noon’s competitive flight, the balloonist gathered for the night glow event.

“I think it was probably

the largest crowd we have ever had,” Lanning said. “It was easily the longest night glow.”

The evening event is usu-ally a challenge for balloon-ist to stay grounded and keep the balloon upright be-cause of wind.

“I was amazed that night, usually you are holding on to the basket for dear life to keep it grounded,” Lanning said.

Lanning said it was great to see so many people in Creston participating in the weekend activities.

Group to assess state’s economic development plan

DES MOINES (MCT) — The Iowa Partnership for Economic Progress -- the state’s CEO-level, industry-led advisory board co-chaired by Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds -- has commissioned the Battelle Technology Partnership Prac-tice to examine Iowa’s eco-nomic development path.

Working with the Iowa Economic Development Au-thority and regional economic development organizations around the state, the study will review Iowa’s industry drivers and potential growth opportu-nities. The study will also look at how the state has fared in advancing innovation, job at-traction and retention since the last road map was devel-oped in 2004-05.

“Our charge as members of IPEP is stay on top of eco-nomic trends that will affect Iowa’s economy and to cre-ate an economic development strategy for the state,” Bill Fehrman, president and CEO of MidAmerican Energy and IPEP board member, said in a news release. “Although our members bring much of that knowledge to the table as leaders in their respective in-dustries, having a third-party

source conduct a compre-hensive analysis of the state’s resources, assets and existing gaps, will give us a foundation of quantitative and qualita-tive data on which to base our strategy development.”

The analysis will occur over the next year, starting with meetings among key stake-holders beginning in Septem-ber.

IPEP has set a number of objectives, including:

• Assessing the current position and recent trends in Iowa’s existing and emerging industry clusters across inno-vation, business attraction and business retention.

• Identifying where Iowa has the capacity to grow in specific market niches relating to its existing and emerging industry.

• Assessing the progress of past industry cluster strate-gies in Iowa and other eco-nomic development programs to identify gaps and provide insights on how better to streamline, revamp and inte-grate economic development efforts to better advance inno-vation, business attraction and business retention.

• Developing population, workforce and talent genera-

tion, retention and attraction strategies broadly for support-ing Iowa’s economic develop-ment efforts as well as focus-ing on specific requirements for key skill sets of its key in-dustry clusters.

• Assessing other develop-ment assets in Iowa critical to advancing the industry clus-ters and sustaining the growth of its targeted industry clus-ters and broader economy.

• Developing a forward-looking road map for Iowa’s economic development that focuses on advancing specific and tailored development plans for the targeted indus-try clusters, business attrac-tion and retention as well as addressing cross-cutting eco-nomic development priorities focused on strengthening Io-wa’s economic development tools and development assets.

Police Fredrick Raymond Wal-

ters, 60, 300 N. Walnut St., was charged with disorderly conduct 2:30 a.m. Saturday at the corner of Walnut and Mills streets.

According to a Creston Police report, officers were called to the 300 block of North Walnut Street five separate times for a male subject trying to enter the residence. Walters lives at the residence, but came home intoxicated and his family refused to let him inside because he gets confrontational when he drinks. Walters was advised to stay on the porch and not beat on the door anymore. On the fifth time going to the residence, Walters was charged and transported to the Law Enforcement Cen-ter.

Walters was released on $300 bond.

Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013ARIES (March 21 to April

19) It’s easy to be confused today, so don’t worry if this is how you feel. You’re not alone. Make an effort to make sure others understand your meaning.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Financial issues are subject to misunderstandings today, so be careful. If shopping, count your change and keep your receipts. Be alert to errors and slip-ups.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, but it is at odds with Neptune. This makes it easy to kid yourself about something. Don’t do it!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have second thoughts or self-doubts today. No worries. We all get these from time to time. However, today it’s as if there are weird spores in the air.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Conversations with others, especially females, are subject to confusion today. However, more than that, they also are subject to deceit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be clear in all your communi-cation with authority figures today. Don’t be tempted to lie in order to save face about something. (You won’t get away with it.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don’t be a sucker if someone tries to talk you into different ideas about

politics, religion and racial issues. It’s good to have an open mind, but today it’s better to be on guard.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances, shared property or how to divide anything. If you think you’re not getting your fair share, speak up!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Conversations with partners and close friends are subject to confusion and misunderstandings today. Be aware of this. Do your best to be clear in all communication.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Issues at work might be confusing today, because co-workers are either misin-formed or deliberately giving you wrong information. (Surely not.) Give others the benefit of the doubt, but double-check everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might be disap-pointed in a romantic interest today. Don’t take this seriously because you could be misread-ing signals. Parent should be vigilant about their children today, especially about ingest-ing poisonous materials.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Family conversations might disappoint you today. You might even wonder if some-one is being totally honest with you. (Perhaps he or she is afraid to tell the truth.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are free spirit who loves fun, whimsy and imaginative esca-pades. You adore travel and exploring new places and ideas. However, you long for something to sink your teeth into —a passion to which you can commit. You’re flirtatious and experimental, and yet, you want stability. This year an important choice will arise. Choose wisely.

Dear Readers: A lot of you responded to a SOUND OFF about bussers wiping tables and seats with the same cloth. Here is what just a few of you had to say:

A Reader, via email, wrote: “Even if the busser cleans the tables in that order, the NEXT table will be wiped off after the seats at the previous table. The only way around this is to have the busser change cloths after wiping down each table, and I really can’t see owners agreeing to that!”

Jim in Ohio wrote: “I think I can shed some light on this subject. I have worked nu-merous jobs ... and we always wiped down the table and then the seats, but the cloth was soaked in a disinfectant solution. The washcloths were rinsed out and stored in a bucket that contained this dis-infectant solution — it really isn’t as unsanitary as it may look.”

Louise, via email, wrote: “I was a manager at a chain res-taurant, and we were required to take two towels with us — one for the seats, and one for the tables. They were two dif-ferent colors, so there would be no mistaking it. If custom-ers brought it to a manger’s at-tention, everyone would be re-minded of proper procedure.”

This is one of the best ways I’ve heard or seen! Keep writ-ing and letting me know how you feel. — Heloise

share a hint my mother gave me: Save and use the bags that cereal comes in.

HEAVY VACUUMDear Heloise: I have a two-

story house and was tired of dragging my vacuum up and down the stairs. I bought a small, inexpensive vacuum at the store, and I leave it up-stairs. It fits nicely in a small storage closet that I have up there. No more dragging the vacuum up and down. — Ve-ronica in Mississippi

COORDINATING CUPSDear Heloise: I asked a

waitress how she remembered whose drink was whose. She replied that she remembered people’s ties and necklines. I have a huge variety of coffee cups. When company comes over, I match a cup to the color of clothing a person is wearing so we don’t get them mixed up. — Joanne B., Sa-lem, Ore.

BLANKET SIZESDear Heloise: I don’t like

that the blanket size today is the same for both the full and queen bed and is square. I solved the aggravation of centering it by folding the blanket in half and pinning a safety pin at the crease at the bottom. From this I can line up the pin to the middle of the headboard and have even overhangs. — Pauline S. in San Antonio

Panthers fall in stunning finishADM scores twice in final 44 seconds

By LARRY PETERSONCNA staff writer • [email protected]

ADEL — A tough dis-trict road victory seemed in hand.

Creston/O-M, which faced deficits of 14-3 and 21-10 in the first half, overcame some crucial early mistakes to take an 11-point lead on ADM (35-24) Friday night after a clock-eating drive in the fourth quarter.

Then, a bizarre set of cir-cumstances in the final 4:42 resulted in a stunning 36-35 Tiger victory. ADM came away 2-0 in Class 3A Dis-trict 1 play, and 3-1 overall, while dropping the Panthers to 1-1 and 3-1.Perspective

Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison, almost at a loss for words immediately af-terward, reminded his team later that the same thing happened a year ago — the team’s first loss was to ADM in a turnover-marred game on week two of district play — and yet the Panthers were playing Lewis Central on the final Friday for a chance at first place in the district.

“Things are no different, if anything it’s probably even more balanced in our district than last year,” Mor-rison said Sunday. “Teams will be going through these things week in and week out. We just have to learn from it, get better, and move forward.”

Elsewhere in the district,

Glenwood knocked off Per-ry Friday, 31-14; Lewis Cen-tral rolled over Atlantic, 42-0; and in non-district play, state-ranked Harlan lost to Carroll, 14-7. ADM travels to Lewis Central this week in another key matchup. The Panthers host Perry for homecoming.

In a game of momentum shifts Friday, the Panthers rallied from a 14-3 early def-icit to take a 25-21 halftime lead. ADM had scored on a 74-yard pass play on the first play from scrimmage in the game.

In the second half,

Creston/O-M used a ball-control offense led by the rushing of Adam Baker, to gain the advantage, 35-24. In building on their five-point halftime lead, the Panthers had a 45-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Phipps to Maxx Walters and Con-nor Pals’ second field goal of the game. Walters had also caught a TD pass near the end of the first half.

That 30-yarder by Pals for a 35-24 edge with 4:45 left capped a 17-play drive by the Panthers that used 7:11 of the fourth-quarter clock, starting at their own 30-yard

line. Baker carried nine times for 47 yards during the possession.

ADM got the ball back with 4:42 left, and escaped near-doom several times down the stretch. On fourth-and-11, quarterback Kolby Whisner hooked up with Jo-seph Sloss for a 22-yard gain to the Panther 34.Key ruling

A 14-yard pass took it to the 19, where the pivotal play of the game occurred with 2:24 left. A pass from Whisner went in and out of the hands of receiver Jona-

than Reel as he was hit by Walters in the Panther sec-ondary. Linebacker Gavin Leith scooped up the ball and returned it deep into ADM territory as the visit-ing crowd cheered wildly in celebration. The sideline chains were moved to indi-cate Creston/O-M’s posses-sion.

Then an officials’ huddle transpired, and the ruling was an incomplete pass, giv-ing the Tigers new life with the ball at the Panther 19.

“That play, I went over and asked that (official) over there, I said he didn’t catch it!” said ADM coach Mike Whisner. “They looked at it, and they said no, I don’t think he caught it.”

Kolby Whisner convert-ed a fourth-and-one on a keeper to the 8-yard line. Finally, with only :46 left in the game, he connected with tailback Grant Goeden on a screen pass to the left for a 2-yard touchdown. A two-point pass went incomplete, leaving the score 35-30 in Creston/O-M’s favor.Onside kick

ADM kicker Jacob Hut-zell stroked an onside kick that went bouncing toward the right sideline. Just be-fore it went out of bounds, past the first wave of Pan-thers, ADM’s Elijah Mc-Cartney pounced on it at the Panther 37-yard line with 34 seconds left.

“Getting the onside was

Panthers reachsemifinals at Red OakBy LARRY PETERSONCNA staff writer • [email protected]

RED OAK — Creston reached the semifinal round of the rugged Red Oak Tour-nament Saturday, falling to eventual champion Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln af-ter going 2-1 in the prelimi-nary pool round.

Creston (10-5) lost its first match of the day to eventual runner-up Red Oak, 21-12, 21-15. The Panthers then dominated Atlantic 21-16, 21-6; and then captured a key victory over Treynor, 21-17, 19-21, 15-12.

Creston coach Polly Lu-ther said it was a successful preliminary round for her team.

“We played with Red Oak in that first round, and han-dled Atlantic pretty well,” Luther said. “Treynor is a pretty good team, and we got it done with them. We really turned on our passing, which allowed us to get more balls up to target. We had the lead most of the third game. Our kids have been really good about playing hard to the end.”

AL got past the Panthers, 25-16, 25-19 before beating Red Oak in the finals, 25-18, 25-16. Red Oak defeated Clarinda in the other semifi-nal match, 18-25, 25-23, 15-11.

“I was very impressed with how we played in the semi-finals,” Luther said. “AL is very big, and very expe-rienced. They really get up and hit the ball at you. I re-mind myself that I look out there, and I see sophomores and juniors. The more ex-perience we get, the better we’re going to be.”

Raiders rush past Tigerhawks, 61-13By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Showalter said Friday’s game was the best his team has looked yet this year.

And it was easy to see why, as the Raiders rolled to a 61-13 win in the district opener against Colfax-Mingo here on “Shaken Baby Syndrome Awareness Night.”

“I thought in all three phases — offense, defense and special teams — it was our most complete effort of the year so far,” Showalter said. “We hope there’s even better ones to come. We were clicking in all parts of the game.”

The Raider rushing attack ran on all cylinders Friday night, picking up 322 yards on 40 carries, averaging 8 yards per carry as a team.

Mount Ayr, ranked sec-ond in Class 1A by the Des

Moines Register, powered its way to a touchdown quickly in the first quarter, marching 69 yards down the field on eight plays — seven of which were runs. Senior quarterback Jacob Sobotka capped the drive with a 3-yard dive up the middle for a score.

The Raider defense was tasked with trying to stop Colfax-Mingo’s high-pow-ered spread passing attack. The Tigerhawks converted on a third-and-6 on their opening drive, but the Raid-ers stuffed them after that.

Less than five minutes after the first score, Mount Ayr had already found its way back into the end zone, as Caleb Schnoor scored on a 5-yard run to the right side.

Schnoor’s touchdown run was set up by a Sobotka completion to Kyle Dolech-eck on a fade route down the sideline. Dolecheck went up over two defenders to make

the catch, took a hard hit and got a foot down inbounds, while hanging onto the ball for the catch.

“We threw the ball re-ally well,” Showalter said. “I thought that was as good a night as Jake has had throw-ing the ball. He had a lot of touch on the ball and hit our receivers extremely well.”

Sobotka completed 11 of 17 passes for 196 yards. He also picked up 108 yards on the ground.

One receiver who benefit-ted from Sobotka being on his game in the passing game was junior Lincoln Martin.

Martin caught three passes for 62 yards — all of them re-s u l t i n g in touch-d o w n s . M a r t i n s c o r e d from 20

yards, 10 yards and 32 yards.“He ran some really crisp

routes and once he caught the ball, he got upfield with it,” Showalter said about Martin. “I thought it was probably his best ballgame, at least on the offensive side, but he also had to work his tail off defensively, as well.”

Showalter praised Martin, Dolecheck, Erik Freed and Jacob Taylor for their effort defensively defending the Tigerhawks’ receivers, and for coming back to play of-fense, as well.

Dolecheck intercepted two passes on the defensive side of the ball, while Freed picked off one. Dolecheck finished with four catches for 73 yards on offense, while Freed caught two balls for 33 yards. They both ran the ball well, too, as Dolech-eck finished with 34 rushing

The Numbers Game

Two for twoLOUDON, N.H. —

Matt Kenseth made it two for two in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sun-day at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Kenseth followed his win in the Chase for the Sprint Cup champion-ship opener at Chica-goland with his series-high seventh victory of the season. Kenseth made his 500th career start and maintained his points lead as the series shifts to Dover. Kens-eth joins Biffle (2008) and Tony Stewart (2011) as the only drivers to win the first two Chase races. Stewart went on to win the title.Stenson wins Cup

ATLANTA — Not even among the top 200 players in the world two years ago, Henrik Sten-son capped off the best three months of his ca-reer with a command performance Sunday in the Tour Championship.

With a birdie to thwart a late charge by Jordan Spieth, followed by three pars from the sand, the 37-year-old Swede closed with a 2-under 68 on Sunday for a three-shot victory to capture the FedEx Cup. He walked away with $11.44 million - $10 million for the FedEx Cup ($9 million of that in cash) and $1.44 mil-lion for winning the Tour Championship.

Tiger Woods, the No. 1 seed going into the Tour Championship, never recovered from his 73-71 start. He closed with a 67 to tie for 22nd, his worst finish ever at East Lake, and wound up second in the FedEx Cup.Steelers 0-3

PITTSBURGH — The Chicago Bears are unbeaten. The Pitts-burgh Steelers can’t stop beating themselves.

Major Wright re-turned an interception 38 yards for a touch-down in the second quarter, and Julius Pep-pers picked up Ben Ro-ethlisberger’s fumble and raced 42 yards for a score in the fourth quar-ter as the Bears beat the reeling Steelers 40-23 on Sunday night.

Roethlisberger com-pleted 26 of 41 passes for 406 yards, and threw two touchdowns to An-tonio Brown, but the Steelers fell to 0-3 for the first time since 2000 thanks to an avalanche of mistakes. Pittsburgh committed five turn-overs, four of which led directly to points by the opportunistic Bears.

Jay Cutler passed for 159 yards and threw a 17-yard touchdown strike to Earl Bennett with just under 6 min-utes remaining.Big plays

IOWA CITY — Kev-onte Martin-Manley returned back-to-back punts for touchdowns; B.J. Lowery returned a pair of interceptions for TDs and Iowa rolled past Western Michigan 59-3 on Saturday.


Southwest Valley 59, CAM 20

ANITA — After falling behind early on the road, the Southwest Valley Tim-berwolves battled back for a key 59-20 win over a talented CAM team here Friday.

“We had a lot of respect for CAM going in,” South-west Valley head coach Kent Bass said. “We knew they had a lot of quality kids and coaches. Early on, they kind of handled us. We didn’t play with a lot of energy. We had a couple of sparks there in the second quarter that kind of catapulted us.”

One of those sparks was a 55-yard punt return for a score by senior Jordan Stuart, putting the Timberwolves on the board, giving them an 8-6 lead.

Bass said it was a last-minute substitution, as Nick Spring normally handles the punt return duties. But Bass felt Stuart could give the Tim-berwolves a spark, and that’s exactly what he did.

Stuart added three rushing touchdowns in the contest, in-cluding a 51-yarder on a quar-terback keeper in the fourth quarter.

Zach Barton led the Tim-berwolves’ rushing attack with 142 yards and two touch-downs on 19 carries. He re-corded the only reception of the night for Southwest Val-ley — an 19-yarder.

Southwest Valley came up with four interceptions in the game, including one returned 45 yards for a touchdown by Tyler Bissell in the third quar-ter.

“Tyler’s pick-six was huge for us there in the third quarter,” Bass said. “That was all film study. He knew what route was c o m i n g and he sat on it. Scott Vanderhoof’s pick was the same. The kids did a great job of film study.”

Spring and Gunnar Mc-Cuen also intercepted passes for Southwest Valley, now 4-1 for the season and 3-1 in Eight-Man District 8. The Timberwolves travel to Lenox on Friday to play the Tigers in their homecoming game.

“Lenox is again proven to be one of the top teams in this district,” Bass said. “It’s go-ing to be a challenge. I think our kids are going to be ready for the opportunity, but we’re going to have to be ready to play.”

Colo-Nesco 30,East Union 20

COLO — Trailing by two points late in the game, East Union was marching down the field Friday night with a win in sight.

But Colo-Nesco’s Taylor Hill had other plans, as he picked off a Cole Campbell pass and ran it back for a touchdown to give Colo-Nes-co a 30-20 win over the Eagles in district play.

“We got the punt back, and were trying to march down with a minute and a half, and Cole threw it and he (Hill) stepped up and made a play, and ran it back for six,” East

Union head coach Steve Kin-yon said.

Just prior to the pick-six, East Union senior Trevor Barnett had scored on a 1-yard run to close the score to 22-20.

The Eagles attempted an onside kick, and did not re-cover. But, the East Union defense held strong and forced Colo-Nesco to punt.

East Union recovered four fumbles in the game, but only converted one of those turn-overs into points.

The Eagles trailed 22-6 at half, as Hill proved to be dif-ficult to stop in the running game in the first half.

But, Kinyon said, the Ea-gles made adjustments at half-time and were able to hold him in check in the second half. East Union held Colo-Nesco scoreless in the second half until the pick-six.

Hill finished with 211 rush-ing yards for Colo-Nesco. Barnett led East Union with 51 rush yards on 12 carries and two touchdowns. He also caught two passes for 62 yards. M a s o n Gossman c a u g h t four pass-es for 47 yards and s c o r e d a 3-yard r u s h i n g t o u c h -down.

The Eagles, now 1-4 overall and 0-2 in Eight-Man Dis-trict 6 host Ankeny Christian Academy on Friday.

Murray 47,Wayne 22

MURRAY — Murray had its running game clicking Friday night in a 47-22 non-district victory over visiting Wayne of Corydon.

Andrew Rider rushed for 142 and four touchdowns, and Seth N e r n e s s picked up 153 yards and two TDs on 18 carries. T h a n e Simmons completed two passes for 28 yards.

After Wayne cut the score to 19-16 before halftime, Rid-er returned the second-half kickoff for an apparent touch-down, but it was nullified by a penalty.

“After Wayne stopped our drive and took over in-side our 30, we got a stop on fourth-and-seven from the 10-yard line,” said Murray coach Keith Shields. “That gave us some momentum for the rest of the second half, as we out-scored them 28-6 the rest of the way.”

The Mustang got some pressure on Wayne quar-terback Trent Moore in the fourth quarter, and Jack Jones came up with a big in-terception. On the next play, Rider went 50 yards to cap a three-TD Mustang flurry in five minutes.

“Our defensive continued to play well,” Shields said. “Wayne has a nice group of athletes and gives you a va-riety of formations you must prepare for.”

Sam Rockhold had 15 tack-les for the Mustangs. Four of George Barber’s tackles were for losses, and Nerness had a tackle for loss with 12 total stops.

This is the 60th year of Murray football, and some members of the first Murray

team were recognized dur-ing homecoming ceremonies Friday.

The win sets up a big game Friday for the district lead when the Mustangs (4-1 overall, 3-0 district) travels to Adair-Casey.

Adair-Casey running back Clayton Plowman became Iowa’s all-time leader in ca-reer rushing yards in eight-player football, snapping the previous record of 6,389 yards in the first quarter in a 79-14 victory over Mormon Trail on Friday night.

Plowman scored the Bombers’ first touchdown and broke Tyler Tonderum of Armstrong-Ringsted’s mark on the second possession.

Becoming Iowa’s top eight-player rusher ever moved Plowman to fourth on the national list, and another 30 yards would move him past Zac Cardwell of Lowell, Ore. for third all-time.

With the scores, the senior also moved into third-place in Iowa eight-player history in career touchdowns.

key,” coach Whisner said. “You work on those things, but you never know if it’s going to happen. It was a real hustle play to get the ball.”

After three incomple-tions, Creston/O-M was called for pass interference, giving the Tigers the ball on the 21. An ADM procedure penalty brought it back to the 26 with 20 seconds left.

Whisner, who had been under pressure from the Panther line much of the second half, had just enough time to heave it to the left side of the end zone, where Jacob Sloss was covered by both Bryce Briley and Pals. The pass was tipped in the air by Briley as he went for the interception, and it landed in the lap of Sloss seated in the end zone, for a touchdown with 12 sec-onds left. A two-point pass failed, leaving it 36-35 with 12 seconds left.

“Forty seconds is a long time when you give them a

short field,” Morrison said. “We had guys in position. He (Sloss) was double-cov-ered, and came down with it.”

Phipps’ first pass of the ensuing possession was picked off by ADM’s Dar-old Baker, clinching the un-conventional victory for the Tigers.

“We’ve had a lot of over-time games, some great vic-tories here,” coach Whisner said, “but I’ve never had a game like this. We were getting frustrated there in the second half, and Crest-on was playing good, physi-cal football. We just kept playing.”

Creston/O-M coach Bri-an Morrison struggled to find the words to describe the mindset of his team, fol-lowing the shocking loss.

“I don’t even know what to say,” the Panther coach said. “Two and a half min-utes left and we’re up by 11,” Morrison said. “We put ourselves in position in the fourth quarter to do what we always do. It just

didn’t work out that way. We played a physical, hard football game.”

For the game, Baker car-ried 25 times for Creston/O-M for 138 yards. Trevor Frain had two rushing touchdowns. Phipps com-pleted 9 of 23 passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns to Walters. He was inter-cepted three times.

Whisner was 14-of-32 passing for 251 yards and three TDs. He was inter-cepted twice. Cory Rathe led a good effort by the Panther defensive line with four tackles for losses.

Penalties continued to plague the Panthers, flagged 11 times for 88 yards Friday.

The varsity game was a mirror image of the fresh-man contest, in which the Panthers converted a late turnover into the winning touchdown with 1:09 left for a 14-12 victory. That re-port will appear in the News Advertiser Tuesday along with tonight’s JV contest in Creston.

yards on two carries and Freed carried five times for 44 yards and a score.

Mount Ayr held Colfax-Mingo’s passing attack in check, giving up 188 yards through the air — much of which came against the Raider reserves. The Ti-gerhawks managed just 3 rushing yards in the con-test.

“I felt really good about the way we defended them,” Showalter said. “I thought we took away the things they wanted to do. Their quarterback had been picking up a few yards on the ground. I think he was averaging about 70 yards a game, and we held them to 3 yards rushing.”

Mason Mercer blocked a punt in the end zone and fell on the ball for a touch-down during the third quarter. Cody Stackhouse blocked a kick in the game for the Raiders.

The Raiders, now 4-0 for the season and 1-0 in Class 1A District 7, move on to take on Des Moines Chris-tian on Friday in the Raid-ers’ homecoming game.Special ceremony

Prior to the game, a spe-cial ceremony was held in conjunction with “Shaken Baby Syndrome Aware-ness Night.”

After the Raider play-ers made their entrance in “the swarm,” senior Cody Stackhouse presented a football signed by all the Raider players to D.J. Tur-pen, of Afton, and his fam-

ily.Turpen, 5, suffers from

the effects of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Turpen, who was shaken as an infant, still cannot walk and has a very limited vocabulary.

The Connor Cares Foundation raised funds through the sale of calen-dars, posters and shirts.

“There were two babies injured in Iowa in July after being shaken by an adult,” said Patty Eaton of the Connor Cares Founda-tion. “One is suffering dai-ly seizures and is now blind and the second child was taken off of life support by her parents.”

Showalter said the cer-emony was a reminder for his players to keep every-thing in perspective.

“It really was an emo-tional deal for our guys,” Showalter said. “Patty with the Connor Cares Founda-tion has visited with our kids several times, and I think it really hit home for us Friday night when D.J. Turpen and his family was there.

“Just to see that little guy’s eyes light up when we handed him the foot-ball, that was something,” Showalter continued. “I think our guys understood the enormity of that situ-ation. Here’s a kid who is never going to get the opportunity to play foot-ball. We were glad to be a part of that (ceremony) and hopefully raise aware-ness for Shaken Baby Syn-drome, and hopefully we gave DJ and his family a little lift on Friday night.”

However, she suffered an ankle injury Sunday in the homecoming Powder Puff football game, and her status is “questionable” for Tues-

day’s home match against Class 3A third-ranked Carroll Kuemper.

“She was walking on it later (Sunday) night, which is a good thing,” Luther said. “She was elevating it and get-ting ice on it. But it’s been hurt and compromised. We really won’t know until Mon-day.”

Sports briefs Bearcats roll

HAYS, Kan. — Northwest Missouri State scored six first-half touchdowns in a 49-14 win on the road against Fort Hays State in MIAA play on Satur-day evening.

Trevor Adams completed 13 of 15 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns as the Bearcats outscored the Tigers 28-0 in the second quarter to lead 42-7 at halftime.

Richard Burton ran for 95 yards while Billy Creason had just 26 yards, but three touch-

downs for the Bearcats. Brady Bolles also saw some time at quarterback for the Bearcats, after leading Northwest in the come-from-behind win over Central Missouri last week. Bolles was 6 for 12 for 72 yards and one touchdown.

The Bearcats (3-0 overall, 2-0 MIAA) had 519 yards of total offense. Defensive end Collin Bevins of Creston had one tackle for the Bearcats.Mustangs sail

SIOUX CENTER — Top-ranked Morningside (4-0,

NAIA) dominated Dordt Sat-urday, 79-14.

The Mustangs passed for six touchdowns and rushed for five more. Ryan Kasdorf was 14-of-20 passing for 282 yards and four touchdowns against Dordt (1-3).

Morningside’s 79 points was its highest output since it drubbed Western Union Col-lege 79-0 during the 1933 sea-son.

Sophomore Alan Smith of Creston caught a 31-yard touchdown pass from Caleb Kluender in the third quarter.
