The Audubon Wheelers were able to rally back from a 2 set deficit in a Regional Final with Grand View Christian to make it to the State tournament and they hope they can start faster on the state stage. Audubon (27-6) will face a tough challenge in the Quarterfinal round on Wednesday night in Cedar Rapids against Springville (28-7).
The Wheelers have had a week to let the accomplishment of being the first team in school history to head to the state tournament set in. Audubon Head Coach Molly Lange said it was a great accomplishment to come back and get the win in the Regional Final.
Coach Lange said they have focused in now on performing well at the state tournament and says the Wheelers will need to play a good team game against a well balanced Orioles opponent. Lange knows a key to winning will be to start faster than they did in the Regional Final.
Springville comes in to the match with three players over 200 kills and two more with 130+. Oriole Head Coach Claude Howard said that balance is the strength of his team.
The Orioles played some tough competition, especially to start the season, to prepare themselves for the type of teams they see in the postseason.
Will have coverage of the Wheelers and the Orioles in their Class 1A Quarterfinal round match at the US Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids. Pre-match coverage will begin at 7:30pm and play is set to begin at 8:00pm on court #2.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Even as the losses mount at Iowa State, Allen Lazard’s numbers keep climbing. The junior wide receiver was the No. 1 recruit during the seven-year tenure of former coach Paul Rhoads, and he’s living up to the billing for first-year coach Matt Campbell.
The Cyclones might be 1-8, but it’s certainly not because Lazard has failed at his job. Campbell says if people came to practice they’d see that Lazard is as locked in as anyone on the football team. He says Lazard has a chance to become one of the best players in college football.
Lazard leads the team in receiving (48 catches), yards (658) and touchdown catches (five) and is steadily climbing the school’s career records list. He has caught a pass in all 32 games he has played and now ranks fifth in career receptions (145) and TD catches (14) and third in receiving yards (2,059).
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Dee Ford was a bust, a laughingstock in Kansas City, the punchline to jokes that usually referenced broken-down pickup trucks and ended up with them never getting where they were supposed to go. That was last year. Things have changed this year.
Now, the 2014 first-round pick is among the league leader in sacks, the emerging star for a defense that has pushed the Chiefs into AFC West contention, and he’s the one having all the laughs. Ford says it’s human nature for athletes.
The Chiefs were roundly criticized for drafting Ford with the 23rd overall pick two years ago, when he was rated a second- or third-round talent by many. The Chiefs already had Justin Houston and Tamba Hali at outside linebacker and many other needs on a team in the midst of a rebuild.
Reid says quarterback Alex Smith will start Sunday at Carolina. Nick Foles replaced him against Jacksonville after Smith sustained a head injury against Indianapolis.

The 24th ranked Iowa State basketball team raced out to a 56-18 halftime advantage and cruised to a 101-57 victory over the University of Sioux Falls in exhibition play. Naz Mitrou-Long led the Cyclones with 24 points while Deonte Burton chipped in with 16 points, nine rebounds and six steals.
Burton says he is motivated to have a special senior season.
Burton says the Cyclones need to improve on defense before opening on Friday against Savannah State.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs owner Clark Hunt says he has an open mind about the Raiders moving to Las Vegas. Hunt spoke to a handful of reporters before Kansas City played Jacksonville on Sunday, and told The Associated Press “that probably five years ago I would have been skeptical that it could happen.”
Hunt said the league is doing research on the move, including what kind of fan support the Raiders would have in Las Vegas. And while he wants to reserve judgment until that report is delivered, Hunt did say that he expects Oakland to ask permission to move and the league to address it in the coming months.
The Raiders would need 24 of 32 owners to approve relocation.
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have declined Jason Hammel’s option for the 2017 season, making the pitcher a free agent. The World Series champions announced the move on Sunday. The option was worth $12 million, and Hammel gets a $2 million buyout. The 34-year-old Hammel went 15-10 with a 3.83 ERA in 30 starts this year. The 6-foot-6 right-hander is 33-22 with a 3.59 ERA in 78 starts over two stints with the Cubs.
Hammel did not pitch in the playoffs. The Cubs got Mike Montgomery in a July trade with Seattle, and he likely will replace Hammel in the rotation. Hammel first signed with the Cubs in February 2014. He went 8-5 with a 2.98 ERA in 17 starts before he was traded to Oakland in the deal that sent shortstop Addison Russell to Chicago.
He re-signed with Chicago for a $20 million, two-year contract in December 2014.
