Posted on by KBOE Administrator

Oskaloosa had five girls’ soccer players receive All-Conference recognition from the Little Hawkeye Conference this week for their efforts on the field this season. Senior defender Rachel Adams was voted to the first team while senior co-captains Aleda Renter and Laura Van Kooten were voted 2nd team All-Conference. Sophomore Ashley Brockman and Junior Jackie Reif received Honorable Mention. Adams and Van Kooten helped lead a strong Oskaloosa defense which included shutting out the top scorer in the state from Newton and also shutting out a tough Pella team in the second half in their regular season finale.

Renter scored 7 goals this season, Brockman led the team with 12 goals while Reif scored 4 goals but led the team with 9 assists. Keely Blanchard, who was a four-year starter for the Indians, finished with 7 goals. Oskaloosa competes in one of the toughest girls’ soccer conferences in the state as the Little Hawkeye featured four teams ranked in the top 10 of Class 2A all season. Oskaloosa scored 44 goals this season, which is the most in a single season, while allowing 33 goals.

The Indians finished with a record of 8-8 and after defeating Ottumwa 6-0 in the quarterfinals of the Class 2A Regional Tournament ended their season with a 4-0 loss at Pella in the semifinals this past Tuesday night. Oskaloosa loses eight quality seniors, many which have started the past four years including the entire starting defensive back line; however the future looks bright for Oskaloosa Girls’ Soccer. Seniors include Rachel Adams, Aleda Renter, Laura Van Kooten, Keely Blanchard, Samantha Stearns, Grace Vavra, Victoria Holthaus, and Kadee Anderson.

Oskaloosa Summer Sports Remain Undefeated

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

The Oskaloosa softball team was back in action last night and kept on rolling in a 10-3 win over Centerville in a game you heard on the Mahaska Zone Network.

The Indians scored in every inning except the fifth and hit three home runs. Senior Bethany Rowley cleared the left field fence in the first inning for a two-run shot that got Oskaloosa on the scoreboard. Kylee Silliman hit a two-run inside-the-park home run that hit the 210-foot sign in straight away centerfield. And sophomore Alexis Westercamp got her first homer of the year, launching her own two-run bomb in the sixth. Westercamp and Silliman led the team with three RBIs in the game.

While the offense kept up its amazing pace, the defense finally showed a couple flaws, as the Indians committed their first three errors of the season in the win. Centerville also plated the first three runs against Oskaloosa this year. Only one of the runs was earned. Coach Jay Harms was very pleased with how his team responded to the adversity, as they were only ahead 4-3 in the fourth inning before rallying for three runs in the bottom of the fourth and the sixth to get the win.

The softball team starts the Little Hawkeye Conference schedule tonight, as they host Pella Christian in a single varsity game. Pella Christian lost 11-10 in the regional final last year in Class 2A, and is looking to keep up their good start, as they are 7-0. Game time is slated for 7:30 PM.
The Oskaloosa baseball team got two big wins on the road against Albia, winning by scores of 12-2 and 9-1 in their make-up doubleheader. The Indians are 3-0 this year and are looking to keep that up when they face Little Hawkeye Conference opponent Pella Christian in a doubleheader tonight, which can be heard on 99.5 FM and AM 740 KMZN and on kboeradio.com starting with the pregame around 5:15 PM this evening.

The track has a wide racing surface with speeds reaching over 100 mph. The infield is lighted and has adequate room for pitting without unloading as well as room to pit outside the facility if necessary. Lighting was added in 2995, making night racing an exciting addition.

Grandstands open at 6 p.m. and racing begins at 7:30 p.m. sharp. Tickets are just $12 for adults, $8 for seniors ages 60 and older, $5 for kids ages 9-12 and children ages 8 and under get in for free. Pit passes are $25. Hobby Stock will also be on the racing card.

The Sioux Speedway is located 1 mile east of Hwy. 75 on 7th St. NE in Sioux Center, Iowa (at the Sioux County Fairgrounds). For more information call 712-722-2512 or check them out online at www.siouxspeedway.net. You can also like the track’s page on Facebook at www.facebook.com/sioux.speedway.

On Friday, the Rapid Speedway will host the first of two Holley Iron Man Series events at the popular semi-banked 3/8-mile dirt oval located at the Lyons County Fairgrounds.

Spectator tickets will be just $10 for adults, $5 for kids ages 7-14 and free for children ages 6 and under. Pit passes will be $25. Pits open at 5:30 p.m. and spectator gates open at 6 p.m. Hot laps start at 7 p.m. and racing will start at 7:30.
