4/10 vs. Creston @ Nishna Hills (front 9)

Coach Hobson says:  Finally a beautiful night for golf.  Pleased with our performance. It is hard to play with a competitive mindset when the outcome of the match is known before it starts due to a insufficient number of players for Creston. We talked about that before we started but you still don’t know how the girls will respond.   Brooke Fletcher had another outstanding night shooting a 2 over 35; Brooke Newell, Bailey Walter and McKenna DenBeste continue to bring there scores down. Erin Olsen is hitting some solid tee shots.

Score card to settle. Kyle Nelson also had a great round with even. Tough to do on an away course. I though Jake played well even though he had a little high score. He had some troubles with distances. Sam also had a good round. A little high but played better than last time here. Cooper and Zac played pretty well. Had a few water issues. Otherwise would have been much better. Proud of my boys for only losing by 5 strokes on an away course. I know we are going to battle all year with Creston.

Buddy Lazier to enter Indianapolis 500 in U of I sponsored car

Sports

April 11th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) – Buddy Lazier will return to the Indianapolis 500 this season in a car fielded by Lazier Partners Racing.  The announcement Thursday was expected after the family-organized team also entered Lazier last season, one month after forming the team. Lazier started 32nd last May, ran only 44 laps because of a fuel pressure issues, and retired with a 31st-place finish.

The 46-year-old Lazier will drive the No. 91 Chevrolet with sponsorship from the University of Iowa Stephen A. Wynn Institute for Vision Research. The research center specializes in cures for rare, inherited retinal diseases.

Jacqueline Lazier, the drivers’ 12-year-old daughter, was born with Aniridia, which is a complete or partial absence of the colored part of the iris. Jacqueline has lost vision in her right eye.

Tony La Russa awed by Baseball Hall of Fame

Sports

April 11th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) – Tony La Russa has toured the Baseball Hall of Fame, and says he’s “getting overwhelmed.”  La Russa, the third-winningest manager in major league history, took in the sights Thursday in preparation for his induction this summer.  The 69-year-old La Russa, who led Oakland to the 1989 World Series title and the St. Louis Cardinals to championships in 2006 and 2011, was unanimously elected in December by the Hall of Fame’s expansion-era committee along with former managerial colleagues Bobby Cox and Joe Torre.

They will be inducted July 27 along with pitchers Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine and slugger Frank Thomas, who were elected in January in their first time on the writers’ ballot.  La Russa calls the scenario perfect because Cox and Torre were contemporaries and are right behind him in wins.

Wacha following up on October rookie breakout

Sports

April 11th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Take it from the Cincinnati Reds: Michael Wacha’s breakout postseason was no fluke.  In his first two starts for the St. Louis Cardinals, the 6-foot-6 right-hander has stared down one of the National League’s top lineups. Just like last fall, he’s been impervious to pressure, too.

After the Reds mustered a single run in 12 2-3 frustrating innings against the 22-year-old Wacha, Jay Bruce said it was like facing a carbon copy of Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright, also lean and lanky and among the majors’ best pitchers for several years.

On the rare occasions you get a pitch to your liking, Bruce said, you’d better not miss.

Iowa football looks solid at RB, WR

Sports

April 10th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa appears to be deep enough at both running back and wide receiver heading into next season. What the Hawkeyes would really like to see is a few of those guys blossom into big-time playmakers.

Iowa’s abundance of backs could be the envy of the new Big Ten West in 2014, and the Hawkeyes are also deep and experienced at wide receiver. But the Hawkeyes also averaged 4.2 yards per rush and 6.8 yards per pass last season en route to just 26.3 points a game.

That’s why one of the main tasks for Iowa this spring has been to identify explosive but possibly inexperienced players and see how close they are to helping Iowa next season.
