West wallops Keokuk, earns top seed at state
IOWA CITY — Iowa City West took care of business and the Trojans didn’t need to punch in for very long to handle it.

Class 3A Regional Duals

Kennedy shoots for trifecta against rival Washington
Cedar Rapids Kennedy ended an 11-game losing streak to Cedar Rapids Washington this season, sweeping the Warriors in regular-season play. But to accurately say they’re cured of the Warriors’ hex, the Cougars must win one more time. Fifth-ranked Kennedy (19-2) faces No. 9 Cedar Rapids Washington (15-8) in a Class 4A regional final girls’ basketball showdown Tuesday. Tipoff is 7 p.m. at Cedar Rapids Prairie. "I hope we can jump out, get a lead early and play loose," said Kennedy Coach Dennis Roloff. The Kennedy-Washington ...
A Westside Story
DES MOINES — Cedar Rapids Prairie’s Josh Lambrecht and Cedar Rapids Jefferson’s Conner Herman have traveled similar paths, and that’s just not the road from Southwest Cedar Rapids to downtown Des Moines. Herman and Lambrecht suffered disappointing district losses last year that postponed their state tournament debuts. Both used them as motivation and find themselves at the same destination. Lambrecht and Herman each earned quarterfinal wins last night in the Iowa High School Athletic Association Class 3A state wrestling tournament at Wells ...
Moore success
DES MOINES — Nick Moore was approached by former Iowa City West teammate Dylan Carew in a tunnel exiting the Wells Fargo Arena floor. Though neither recalls the exact words spoken during last year's state tournament finals, Carew offered motivational words concerning Moore’s future, reminding the Trojans standout he would soon be experiencing what Don Bosco’s Bart Reiter did when he completed his quest to be the Iowa’s latest four-time state champion. Now, top-ranked Moore attempts to become just the 19th four-time state ...
