Iowa point guard Dickerson to leave after less than a season

Sports

February 23rd, 2015 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa point guard Trey Dickerson is leaving the program after less than a year in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes announced Monday that Dickerson has been granted a release from his scholarship. Dickerson, a sophomore, will finish out the year academically before transferring to a new school.

Dickerson, a junior college transfer, never quite fit in with the Hawkeyes. He struggled to find playing time behind juniors Mike Gesell and Anthony Clemmons and wound up playing just 15 games at Iowa, averaging 2.7 points. Dickerson’s departure will free up an extra scholarship that Iowa could possibly use in the increasingly important spring signing season.

The Archery Team did have a qualifying national shoot during this contest and now may attend the National Shoot in Kentucky. We are hoping Saturdays score will allow us a chance to register sooner.

Thanks to All of those who have given positive feedback and press to this season’s team.

NE coach bans his players from locker room after loss to IA

Sports

February 23rd, 2015 by Ric Hanson

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska coach Tim Miles is so steamed about his team’s 28-point loss to Iowa that he’s locking his players out of their locker room. The Cornhuskers’ 74-46 loss Sunday was their fifth straight and seventh in eight games. They’re 13-14 overall and 5-8 and in 10th place in Big Ten after finishing fourth and making it to the NCAA tournament last year. Miles also said players would not speak to the media until further notice, adding, “If there’s anyone who’s going to represent us right now, it’s me.”

Nebraska’s $19 million training facility opened in 2011 and features a deluxe locker room with heated towel racks and I-pod plug-ins in the showers. Asked where the players will shower after practices, Miles said, “Good luck. They’re creative young people.”

Hospital rep: Wrestler who collapsed at meet heads home

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A high school wrestler from southwest Iowa who collapsed at the state duals tournament has been released from a Des Moines hospital. Spokesman Gregg Lagan for Mercy Medical Center said Sunday night that Creston/Orient-Macksburg student Tayler Pettit is heading home. Pettit’s parents said in a statement released by Lagan that Tayler complained of a shortness of breath after his second match Wednesday. He then collapsed, experienced seizures and went into cardiac arrest.

Scott and Melissa Pettit said in the statement that doctors found Tayler has a previously unknown condition in which an extra electrical pathway in his heart caused a rapid heart rate. Their statement said Tayler underwent a procedure to correct the pathway and is expected to make a full recovery.
