The Exira-EHK girls basketball team locked up the Rolling Valley Conference basketball title with 74-53 win over the CAM Cougars on Friday night. The Spartans jumped out in front early and took advantage of a mistake prone first half for CAM. The Cougars turned the ball over 15 times in the first half and the Spartans pulled out to a 21 point lead by the break. CAM clawed back within 12 a couple of times in the second half but the Spartans held them off with some good outside shooting.

Macy Emgarten led the Spartans with 24 points. Quinn Grubbs and Mollie Rasmussen each added 17. Rasmussen buried 5 threes on the night. The Spartans improved to 19-0 on the season and have one more regular season game on Monday at Boyer Valley.

CAM was led by 12 points from Zoey Baylor and 10 from Molly Venteicher. The Cougars fell to 14-5 on the year and have a make up game at Audubon on Saturday before finishing the regular season against Paton-Churdan.

The Spartans had a tough moment late in the game when senior Tatum Grubbs went down, aggravating a knee injury she has been trying to recover from. Grubbs was hurt in practice right before they played the Cougars the first time and was trying to get back into the rotation.

Iowa travels to Maryland on Oct. 2, with that contest moving from Oct. 23, which now becomes the open date on the Hawkeyes’ schedule. Penn State visits Iowa City on Oct. 9 as originally scheduled. Iowa’s Homecoming contest against Purdue moves from Oct. 30 to Oct. 16. The Hawkeyes close the month with a trip to Wisconsin on Oct. 30.

The final month of the regular season begins with Iowa traveling to Northwestern on Nov. 6. Home dates with Minnesota (Nov. 13) and Illinois (Nov. 20) remain unchanged.

Cardinals deal Fowler to Angels

Sports

February 5th, 2021 by admin

ST. LOUIS, Mo., February 4, 2021 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced this evening that they have traded veteran outfielder Dexter Fowler to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for a player-to-be-named-later or cash considerations.

“We are extremely grateful for everything that Dexter has done for us over the past four years, both on the field and with his generous work in the community,” said Cardinals President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak.  “With the expectation that we will have plenty of competition in the outfield this season, and with Dexter’s approaching free agency, we felt that this deal made the most sense for all parties.”

The switch-hitting Fowler played in 389 games for the Cardinals from 2017-20, and had a career-best 19 home runs and 67 RBI during the 2019 season, as the Cardinals advanced to the National League Championship Series.

Fowler, 34, will be a free agent following the upcoming 2021 season.

With tonight’s trade announcement, the Cardinals 40-man Major League roster currently stands at 36, including outfielders Harrison Bader, Dylan Carlson, Austin Dean, Tyler O’Neill, Lane Thomas and Justin Williams.
