DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — An attorney for a Dubuque man accused of sexually assaulting and beating to death a church secretary says his client is unable to understand the charges against him due to a mental disorder.
The Telegraph Herald reports that a public defender for 20-year-old Helmon Betwell filed a motion Tuesday requesting a hearing to determine Betwell’s competency to stand trial.
The attorney, Thomas Goodman, asked to have criminal proceedings suspended until the court holds the hearing. The motion cited a doctor who evaluated Betwell and believes his mental disorder would affect his ability to stand trial.
Betwell is charged with first-degree murder and first-degree sexual assault for the September 1st death of 66-year-old Nancy Krapfl of Dubuque. He is also charged with two counts of third-degree burglary.

Montezuma Tops Keota to Advance to the Substate Final

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

The Montezuma Braves and Keota Eagles met in Wellman Thursday night for a highly anticipated rematch from their back-and-forth affair in January. The result was Montezuma duplicating their hard-fought win, relying on an explosive first half and tight defense for the 56-45 victory and the Class 1A District 11 Title.

The first quarter saw both defenses have their way, forcing several turnovers with sporadic shooting. Both teams had slight spurts towards the end of the quarter, but Monte had a 12-9 lead heading into the second.

That’s when Montezuma junior Dakota Strong caught fire, scoring the majority of his 19 first half points by lighting it up from behind the arc. The Braves’ defense continued to force several Keota mistakes, as Brody McKeag had five first half steals, a few of which led to easy buckets at the other end. Monte would close the half strong to take a 35-22 lead at the break.

The third quarter was intriguing, as Monte lost their shooting touch. Their defense, however, refused to let the Eagles climb back into the game. Keota’s biggest momentum switch came with about 1:30 to go in the third. Keota junior Cole Stout buried a three-pointer and drew a foul, completing a four-point play. Keota would ride that wave to cut the lead from 16 to 9 in a short period. But with 25 seconds to go, McKeag would get a steal and a layup on the other end, and after a quick Keota shot, Brave junior Carson Losure would make a layup at the buzzer to extend the lead to 13 after three.

The fourth quarter saw poor shooting by both sides, and Montezuma made free throws down the stretch to seal the 11 point victory.

The Braves were led by Strong who finished with 23 points. Brody McKeag had a very complete game, scoring 10 points, dishing out 7 assists, and snagging 7 steals. Logan Price had 10 points and 6 rebounds despite dealing with foul trouble in the first half. Carson Losure and Zach Townsend had 6. Townsend added a team-high 7 rebounds.

Keota had a good game from senior Zach Mousel, who had 16 points and three steals. Avery Conrad had a double-double with 12 points and 10 boards. Jacob Wickenkamp, who came in as the Eagles’ second leading scorer behind Mousel on the season, did not register a single point and only took a few shots in the game, but he did grab 9 rebounds and had a team-high four assists.

Keota’s season comes to an end at 17-7. The loss ends the high school careers of seniors Nate Sieren, Tyler Verstraete, Paden Uphold, Zach Mousel, Isaiah Hahn, and Dylan Burgdorf.

Montezuma is now 22-2 and will play for a trip to state on Saturday in Knoxville. Their opponent will be Grand View Christian, who is 24-1. GVC averages over 80 points per game, but only scored 58 in their four-point win over Colo-Nesco in the District 12 Final.

The game can be heard on 99.5 FM/740 AM KMZN, as well as the KMZN mobile app, and radiokmzn.com. The pregame will start at 6:45 for the 7 PM tip-off.

Iowa Basketball Falls In Upset Loss To Wisconsin

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

IOWA CITY – The Carver-Hawkeye crowd was ready to be heard even before the tip against their BIG 10 rival Wisconsin Badgers. The Hawkeyes haven’t had much luck doing battle with the Badgers as of late, losing five in straight matches. But this game was billed differently with the #8 ranked Hawks walking into the gym as the favorites.

The first half lived up the pregame rival type hype. The Badgers of Wisconsin held a mere one point lead at the half way mark. Peter Jok stole the first half show knocking down 3 of 4 from three point land. His badger counterpart, Bronson Koenig would answer with a couple buckets of his own behind the arc. The back and forth contest would ensue through the first half. Hawkeye leading scorer, Jarrod Uthoff, was quite only playing 10 first half minutes due to foul trouble. Jok would make up for Uthoff’s absence scoring half of Iowa’s points with 17 big ones.

The second half started quickly as Uthoff would be well rested and come out firing with five points in the first three minutes. The badgers were forced to take a team time out to slow Iowa’s momentum. Wisconsin would answer with a couple buckets of their own. The second half was much like the first trading buckets back and forth. At times both teams would secure slight leads that wouldn’t last long. Adam Woodbury’s height would be biggest difference as the Hawks kept staying in the game with second chance opportunities. Woody, as the team affectionately calls, would have 18 boards, 10 of which were offensive. In the end, the Hawks couldn’t put a run to match the Badgers down the stretch. Jok and Uthoff went cold missing a few open looks that would normally be expected to fall.

As the gap grew, a few timely three point buclets from the Badgers were too much for Iowa to overcome. The Hawkeyes lost their 6th straight contest against Wisconsin and lost their first home game in almost a year, 67-59.

There were some opportunities says Coach McCaffrey “I thought we got great shot opportunities. I thought 14 turnovers contributed to that. I can’t remember what the breakdown was in the first half versus second half. I know I think we had eight the first half, six in the second half, I think. But six turnovers is too many. Eight is way too many against a team that’s playing half-court man. We’ve got to do better than that, but we got a little hesitant at times.”

The Hawkeyes will now look to get off the two game losing streak against another Big 10 rivals in Ohio State Sunday on CBS.

McCaffrey says this being in the national spotlight is a great motivator “It’s a great opportunity. We haven’t played well in the last two games, yet we have done some good things in those two games.”

The game is scheduled for a 3:00pm tip-off and can be heard on 104.9 KBOE with the pregame at 2 PM.
