(Radio Iowa) — The start of the boys state soccer tournament has been moved back one day to Friday. Officials with the Iowa High School Athletic Association made the decision after several days of heavy rain in Central Iowa. Cownie Soccer Park in Des Moines hosts the tournament. Storm Lake was set to open the 2A tournament on this ( Thursday) afternoon, but coach Ben Schekirke’s team will now play Lewis Central on Friday.
The semifinals will now be Saturday and the championship matches will be next Tuesday. Todd Tharp of the IHSAA says the decision was made after heavy rain Monday night. Tharp says the complex has received nearly nine and-a-half inches of rain since May 17th.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A state court judge has temporarily halted enforcement of a new law that would have blocked Planned Parenthood of the Heartland from receiving federal grant money for sex education courses.

Kim Reynolds’ veto of a bill that would have expanded Iowa’s medical marijuana program, two Democratic lawmakers are calling for a special session of the Legislature to override the veto. Sen. Joe Bolkcom and Rep. John Forbes called Wednesday for the special session, but that’s unlikely because it would require a request by two-thirds of lawmakers in the House and Senate.
