Atlantic earns share of Hawkeye Ten Conference Title with road win over Clarinda

Sports

February 12th, 2021 by admin

The Atlantic boys basketball turned in a strong performance on Friday night for a big 54-40 conference road win over Clarinda. The Trojans raced out of the gate strong and led 18-9 by the end of the first and were up 28-19 at half. The Trojans held the Cardinals at bay by ten or more points most of the rest of the way and really pulled away in the final period to secure the win. The big win gave the Trojans a 9-1 conference record for a share of the Hawkeye Ten Conference Title, joining Glenwood at the top of the standings for the year.

Skyler Handlos finished with 13 points to lead a balanced scoring night for Atlantic. Ethan Williams had 11, Dayton Templeton finished with 10, and Grant Sturm had 8. The Trojans improved to 11-6 on the season, a heck of a strong finish after sitting at 3-5 after their January 12th loss to the Cardinals at home. The Trojans will finish up the regular season on Tuesday night with a home game against Denison-Schleswig and then enter the postseason with a home game against Creston on the 22nd.

Clarinda struggled shooting the ball and getting good looks against the Trojans. They really struggled against Atlantic’s 2-3 zone in the second half. Drew Brown was the only Cardinal in double-figures with 11. The Cardinals finish the regular season at 9-10. They will open up postseason play in Substate 8 First Round play on Monday night against Underwood.

Catch a full postgame interview with Atlantic Head Coach Jeff Ebling on our Saturday Morning Coaches Show at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.

DES MOINES– Today (Friday), Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a proclamation that will ease transport rules for propane in Iowa. This proclamation will temporarily suspend regulatory provisions of Iowa code §321.449 pertaining to hours of service for crews and drivers delivering propane. High demand, along with hazardous weather conditions in the Midwest, have created challenges to timely access of propane products in the state.

The proclamation is effective at 12:01 a.m. on February 13, 2021, and expires on March 15, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. The proclamation language and rules can be found here.

Iowa cancels plan to select vendor for vaccine call center

News

February 12th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Kim Reynolds’ administration announced Friday it would not award a contract for an outside vendor to operate a call center to help residents find information about coronavirus vaccine appointments. The Iowa Department of Public Health informed several companies that had submitted emergency bids for the contract last week that it would not select any of them and was “continuing to evaluate call center solutions.”

The department’s notice did not elaborate but cited an administrative rule that allows for bidding processes to be cancelled when in the state’s interest. The call center was to field inquiries about coronavirus vaccines, including helping screen residents for eligibility and set them up with providers to make appointments.

BETTENDORF, Iowa (AP) — Officials identified the Bettendorf police officer who fatally shot a man Feb. 7 as a three-year veteran of the department. The Iowa Department of Public Safety on Friday identified the officer as Zachary Gish. The officer remained on administrative leave as the investigation continues into the shooting of 49-year-old Brian Gregory Scott, of Bettendorf.

Police say the shooting happened after officers were called to a home for reports of a dispute. A man and woman had left the home before officers arrived but were found by officers in a vehicle about 90 minutes later. The woman exited the vehicle and told officers the man, later identified as Scott, had threatened to kill her. Police said Scott refused to comply with officers’ commands before an officer shot him.
