CAM won both the girls and boys games Tuesday night against Rolling Valley Conference rival Coon Rapids-Bayard in Anita.
The Cougars took control early, jumping out to an 18-1 first quarter lead, in posting a 74-34 win. Four players hit double figures for CAM as they used full-court defense to create a number of easy baskets and hit eight three pointers. Sammi Jahde had a game-high 18 points, Zoey Baylor scored 15, Macy Ticknor had 11 and Paige McAfee finished with ten. The Cougars improved to 12-1 with the win.
The Crusaders were led by freshman Brynn Bass with 15 points.
The boys game was close at the half, but the Cougars got a spark off the bench to overwhelm the Crusaders in a 52-28 win.
DeShawn Carr scored 18 off the bench, including four from the arc. Both teams were deliberate offensively early on and both had trouble scoring. It was 4-2 Crusaders late in the first quarter when Carr hit a pair of quick baskets to give CAM a 6-4 lead after one quarter. They would never trail again, as they held a 17-15 halftime edge.
A big 19-5 third quarter advantage put the Cougars in command. Joining Carr in double figures for the Cougars was Lane Spieker with 15. CAM improves to 5-7.
Coon Rapids-Bayard was led by Ben Obert with 10 points, 14 below his average.

(Corrects vehicle 1 to a car) A man from Harrison County died, and two people from Pottawattamie County were hurt Tuesday, following a collision on Highway 30 in Harrison County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 1999 Saturn SL driven by 28-year old Cody Jay Grandmont, of Persia, was traveling west on the highway at around 6:45-p.m., when for reasons unknown, the car crossed the center line of the road, into the eastbound lanes, and collided head-on with a 1998 Buick Century.
Following the crash, both vehicles came to rest on the traveled portion of Highway 30. Grandmont, who was not wearing a seat belt, died from his injuries at the hospital in Missouri Valley. The driver of the Buick, 34-year old Rebecca Eileen Smith, and her passenger, 31-year old Austin Lee Tasich, both of Council Bluffs, were injured and transported by ambulance to Bergan-Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs. Authorities say Smith was not wearing her seat belt, but Tasich was. The extent of their injuries was not released.
The accident remains under investigation. The State Patrol was assisted at the scene by Missouri Valley and Logan Fire and Rescue, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, Missouri Valley P-D and Iowa DOT road crews.
Officials with the Iowa State Patrol report a central Iowa man was arrested and formally charged Tuesday, in connection with a Dec. 29, 2018 crash, that took the lives of two men. 37-year old Travis Gonzales, of Bondurant, faces charges that include two counts of Homicide by Vehicle/OWI, Two counts of Homicide by Vehicle/Reckless Driving, and OWI/1st offense.
Travis Gonzales
Gonzales was traveling westbound on I-80 on Dec. 29th near the 138 mile marker, driving at a high rate of speed, when the vehicle he was operating rear ended a vehicle containing two occupants. After impact, both vehicles lost control and entered the north ditch of I-80. An investigation determined Gonzales’ vehicle was traveling 126 mph in a 65 mph zone.
He showed several signs of impairment and allegedly made several incriminating statements causing troopers to serve a search warrant on the subject for blood. The blood was analyzed at the DCI Crime Lab and a BAC of .219 was returned (more than twice the legal limit of .08).
