Ottumwa Loaded With All-Conference Softball Accolades After 30-Win Season
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
The CIML-Metro has named their all-conference teams for the 2016 softball season, and Ottumwa is well represented after a very good campaign.
On the first team, 8th grader Kacy Nickerson, who was 15-4 as the Bulldogs’ pitcher and batted .370 in her first varsity season, was a unanimous choice for the First Team. She was one of only three athletes in the conference selected unanimously, along with Indianola sophomore pitcher Sidney Sickels and Des Moines Hoover junior catcher Madisen Blackford.
Also on the First Team was senior infielder Ellie Hammack for Ottumwa, along with junior outfielder/catcher Madi Wiley.
On the Second Team, Ottumwa had a quartet of players honored. Senior shortstop Kaleigh Schreiner was listed on the infield, while sophomore pitcher Dakota Garrison was honored. Juniors Alexis Nelson (outfield) and Kaylee Glasgow (infield) were also named to the Second Team All-Metro.
The Bulldogs also had three players listed among the honorable mentions. Seniors Kelsey Peyton and Georgia Garrett were honored alongside freshman Morgan Greiner for outstanding 2016 seasons.
Ottumwa finished second in the Metro this season with an 18-5 mark in conference play. They had a 30-8 record overall. Indianola won the conference with a 20-2 record within the conference, and currently have a 32-9 record. They play Urbandale in the state quarterfinals Monday afternoon as a slight underdog.
Indianola departs the Metro after this season to join the already-loaded Little Hawkeye Conference, who had six of their seven teams ranked at one point this season and all seven hosted at least their first postseason game this season. With that move occurring, Ottumwa will be looking to once again dominate with a young core under legendary head coach Frank Huston.
Pet Of The Week: Hoover
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
Hi Humans! Hoover here and I’m a 3 1/2 year old male Lab/Shepherd mix that was surrendered to the shelter because my owner was moving and could not bring me with. I’m a very good dog, and I learn things very quickly. If you are looking for a loyal companion, I’m your man! In fact, I am so loyal, that I can get a little protective of my family when strangers come around. I’m all bark though, and I warm up quickly once I know a new person is my friend. Because I am protective, I would not do very well in a home with small children. My previous owner loved me very much, and we lived in the country where I had plenty of room to run around. I am used to getting a lot of exercise, so my new home will have to keep this in mind. If you are looking for a loyal, loving, companion who will keep you safe, I’m definitely your guy, and you should come out to the shelter and meet me today!

8th Running of the New Hampshire 301 Sprint Cup Series Race
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
Last Year’s Race: Kyle Busch’s mid-season march toward a post-season berth continued with his third victory in four races. The win lifted him from thirty-fifth to thirty-third in the point standings with seven races left in the regular season that would ultimately lead to a championship for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Busch led ninety-five laps, including the final forty-nine trips around the one-mile oval. The race ended under caution for Alex Bowman’s single-car accident that took place in Turn-2 after Busch took the white flag. Brad Keselowski led a race-high 101 laps and finished second with Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano (Keselowski’s Team Penske teammate) and Dale Earnhardt Junior completing the top five … Pole sitter Carl Edwards led just nineteen laps and finished seventh … Busch was the ninth different winner in the last nine summertime races contested in New Hampshire dating back to 2007 … Denny Hamlin was going for a weekend sweep after winning the X-FINITY Series race twenty-four hours earlier but finished fourteenth on the Cup side. He was one of twenty drivers running on the lead lap with Busch at the checkered flag.
Track Position at Loudon: Twenty-three of the forty-two Sprint Cup Series races run have been won from a starting position of tenth or better. Ten winners have come from a starting position of twentieth or worse … Winning From the Pole in Loudon: Just five of forty-two Cup Series races have been won from the pole position, most recently by Ryan Newman in 2011 … Track Qualifying Record: Keselowski (Ford) … 140.598 miles per hour … 27.090 seconds … September 2014 … Track Record, Race Speed: Jeff Burton (Ford) … 117.134 mph … 2 hours, 42 minutes, 35 seconds … July 1997.

21st Running of the Auto Lotto 200 X-FINITY Series Race
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
Last Year’s Race: On paper, it looked like Denny Hamlin had an easy time of it in winning at New Hampshire – leading 145 of the two hundred laps to post his second X-FINITY Series win of the season. But on the track, it was quite a different story. Hamlin and Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch leaned hard on each other twice during the course of the afternoon while racing for position. In one instance, contact early in the race sent Hamlin – the pole sitter – spinning and forced him to restart at the rear of the field. But the Number-20 Toyota was strong, Hamlin charged back toward the front and took the lead at Lap-43. With less than thirty laps to go, Austin Dillon jumped past Hamlin on the day’s final restart and led briefly. But Hamlin pulled alongside Dillon a short time later and nudged him out of the way to reclaim the lead and drive off to his thirteenth career victory. Dillon was critical of Hamlin’s bump-and-run tactic after the race as he had to settle for second place. Brad Keselowski finished third and Busch was fourth, giving Sprint Cup Series drivers the top four finishing positions. Rookie Daniel Suarez was fifth, the highest-placed X-FINITY Series regular.
Friday’s Practice Schedule: From 1 to 1:55 p.m. and 3 to 4:25 p.m. (ET) … Qualifying: Saturday at 11:15 a.m. (ET).
Dale Earnhardt Junior Sidelined
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
Dale Earnhardt Junior will not compete in Sunday’s Sprint Cup Series race in New Hampshire, suffering from concussion-like symptoms. Following accidents last month at Michigan International Speedway and earlier this month at Daytona International Speedway, doctors evaluated Earnhardt this week in Charlotte and did not clear him to race. Alex Bowman will drive the Number-88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet in the New Hampshire 301. The 23-year-old from Tucson, Arizona, is running a limited X-FINITY Series schedule for Junior Motorsports this year with a best finish of third place in four starts, that coming in mid-May at Dover. A timetable for Earnhardt’s return has not been established.

Moravia And BGM Advance To District 12 Final
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
The Class 1A District 12 Semifinals were very interesting, but the team with the better record won both contests, as heard on 104.9 FM KBOE.
In the first battle, North Mahaska’s season came to a close as Moravia got a 9-4 win. Opportunistic hitting, aggressive baserunning, and a phenomenal complete game from sophomore Tucker Babbit were the difference for the Mohawks, as they are now 25-5 and two wins away from the state tournament in Des Moines.
Moravia will face BGM, who defeated Cardinal in a 10-0 run-rule decision in five innings. BGM got a four-hit complete game from senior Kaiden Fiebelkorn, who allowed just one hit after the first inning. BGM is receiving votes in Class 1A, and their diverse and powerful offense in support of their ace pitcher showed that their prowess should not be ignored.
North Mahaska’s season ends at 16-12, while Cardinal’s ends at 10-16.
Moravia will have to travel to Brooklyn to face 22-7 BGM on Saturday night in the Class 1A District 12 Championship Game. First pitch will be at 7 PM. The winner of that contest will face either #2 Don Bosco or North Tama in the Class 1A Substate 6 Final in Marshalltown on Tuesday, July 19th.
