Sigourney Girls’ Hold Off Cedar Valley Christian To Advance To Semis

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

The Sigourney girls earned a trip to the Class 1A Region 5 Semifinals via a 64-59 win over Cedar Valley Christian in Marengo last night, as heard on 99.5 FM and 740 AM KMZN.  Both teams came out firing in the opening quarter as they traded baskets back and forth, but Sigourney was hot from long range which ended up being the difference.  The Savages never trailed in the game, however Cedar Valley Christian did pull within 46-44 heading into the fourth quarter.  The Huskies had two straight possessions midway through the fourth quarter where they could tie or take the lead but came up empty eventually resulting in a Sierra Davis three pointer which was the game changer for Sigourney.  Davis had another huge game for Sigourney scoring 29 points, Autumn Barthelman added 12 and Brooke Waechter contributed 11 as Sigourney improved to 14-9 and will now face a very tough Springville team at Springville in the semi finals at 7pm Friday night.

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — One of three men initially charged in the death of a Council Bluffs man has pleaded guilty to lesser charges as a part of a plea deal with prosecutors.

Twenty-two-year-old Sarael Duncan, of Omaha, Nebraska, pleaded guilty Tuesday to theft. He was originally charged with murder in connection with the August death of 20-year-old Jacob Combs but that charge has been dropped.

Caine Peterson, of Council Bluffs, and Christopher King of Lincoln, Nebraska, also were charged with murder but have agreed to plead guilty to amended charges.

They are accused of robbing Combs of marijuana. Officials say Combs jumped onto Petersen’s vehicle as the three men fled but then fell or was thrown, suffering head injuries. Combs died in a hospital on Aug. 15.

KEOKUK, Iowa (AP) — Public records show five allegations of sexual offenses were reported by former students, students or staffers at Midwest Academy in Keokuk over the past three years.

In addition, Lee County Sheriff Jim Sholl says the state Department of Human Services had identified 19 “founded” abuse cases at the school, meaning evidence suggested some type of abuse had occurred.

The boarding school for troubled teenagers was raided Jan. 28 by officers to investigate allegations that a staff member sexually assaulted a student.

Five former students made claims of widespread sex abuse and misconduct as part of a federal lawsuit filed seven years ago. The newspaper reports that the lawsuit was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds, and its merits were never decided.

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

SPRINT UNLIMITED: Denny Hamlin extended Joe Gibbs Racing’s recent run of success in the Sprint Unlimited on Saturday night by delivering the organization’s third straight victory in the non-points special event and its fourth in five years. Hamlin, who started fifteenth in the twenty-five-car field, pulled away on an overtime restart to notch his second Unlimited win in three years and third overall. A late caution for a five-car accident along the backstretch sent the race four laps past its scheduled distance. Hamlin’s Number-11 Toyota led a race-high thirty-nine laps including the final sixteen trips around Daytona International Speedway’s two-point-five-mile oval.

Defending Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano finished second with Paul Menard, Kyle Larson and Casey Mears completing the top five. Pole sitter Jimmie Johnson was involved in an accident early in the second half of the race and finished twenty-second … Matt Kenseth, one of Hamlin’s teammates at J-G-R, placed twelfth in his bid for back-to-back wins in the season-opening event … Reigning Sprint Cup Series champion Kyle Busch started ninth and finished seventeenth, sidelined by a wreck less than ten laps from the finish … Brian Vickers, subbing for the injured Tony Stewart, placed twenty-fourth.
