Cup Teams Enjoy A Weekend Off – Next Stop: Darlington Raceway
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams are getting their final off-weekend of the season in the days ahead, regrouping for the last two races of the regular season and then the ten-race Chase to crown a champion. Action will resume Sunday, September 6th, with the Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. The sixteen-driver Chase Grid will then be filled the following weekend after the regular-season finale at Richmond International Raceway. With just eleven race winners this season, there can be a maximum of thirteen race winners in the Chase lineup, which means at least three drivers are going to gain entry into the post-season Chase based on the regular-season point standings … Right now, Clint Bowyer holds the final provisional post-season berth.
Among the drivers on the outside looking in with just two races left in the regular season are Aric Almirola, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle, Austin Dillon and Kyle Larson … At the other end of the spectrum are Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson – who are tied for the series lead with four wins apiece.
Oskaloosa Volleyball Off To A Strong Start In 2015
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
The Oskaloosa volleyball team got their season off to a good start Tuesday night in Newton in a tournament.
The Indians went 3-2 on the night, knocking off Carlisle, Knoxville, and Newton. The two losses came to Class 4A’s #12 team ADM and the #4 team in Class 5A Dowling Catholic.
“It was a good first night out and the team showed a lot of promise,” said Osky Head Coach Jennifer Comfort. “We had multiple compliments from other coaches, officials, and opponent parents on the way the team played, how well they played together, and other positive comments.”
Statistically, the girls were very balanced. Maria Settimi and Alexis Westercamp showed that they will be quite the duo in attacking, as both neared the 30 kill mark. Settimi had 28 kills with a solid .208 kill percentage, and Westercamp had 27 kills with an outstanding .357 kill percentage in the tournament. Zoe Lynch and Cara Roquet also reached double figures in kills.
Leah VanMaanen led the way in the setting department, posting 68 assists. Settimi was again the leader in serving, going 32 of 38 with a team high 11 aces. Brooke Caves was 30 of 34 with 5 aces. Lynch and VanMaanen also were efficient from the service line and had multiple aces.
Defensively, Caves led from her defensive position with 44 digs. VanMaanen had 24 digs, and Westercamp led the way with 3 solo blocks and 3 assists on blocks.
Oskaloosa will look to carry that positive momentum into tonight as the Indians take on Bondurant-Farrar in their home opener in Oskaloosa. The Freshmen and JV contests start around 5:30, and the varsity squad will take the floor around 7:30 this evening.
Farm Profits To Fall Second Consecutive Year
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it will be a less profitable year for farmers as low grain, milk and hog prices cut into income.
The abundance of grain leftover from last year’s crop and this year’s anticipated harvest of the third-largest corn crop and second-largest soybean crop on record have kept prices below the cost of production.
The USDA said in a report Tuesday net farm income is expected to decline 36 percent to $58.3 billion, the lowest in nine years.
Iowa State University agricultural economist Chad Hart says farmers are using savings to get by.
Others are borrowing more, but while farm debt is rising, the USDA says it is not yet at worrisome levels.

Oskaloosa Takes Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont In The Highway 63 Showdown
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
They call it the Highway 63 Showdown, but it was dominated by one side this year.
The Oskaloosa and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont cross country teams met to help gear up for the big cross country season and it was all Indians on both the girls’ and boys’ sides.
For the girls, Sienna DeJong got off to a great start, finishing the course at Edmundson Park in 21:40, nearly two minutes ahead of anyone else on the team. Bailey Blyth, Lauren Coon, Aleeya Cheney, and Sereena Cheney rounded out the top five, all for Oskaloosa. EBF’s first finisher crossed the line in 13th.
On the boys’ side, Colton Berg led the way, followed closely by Jack Miller. EBF’s Peyton Walker finished in third, but Osky had the rest of the top ten finishers, including Willis Knox and Josh Diehl.
We’ll have plenty of cross country coverage all season long here on the Mahaska Zone Network, including an interview with Oskaloosa Cross Country Coach Mike Comfort this Saturday on the Fifth Quarter Show, which begins at 8:30 AM on 104.9 FM KBOE, 99.5 FM and AM 740 KMZN and on kboeradio.com.
