Linn-Mar tops S.C. East for third place in 4A
DES MOINES — Instead of dwelling on what could have been, the Linn-Mar Lions chose to think about what could be Saturday afternoon. Metro basketball fans should be doing the same thing. Linn-Mar beat Sioux City East, 62-57, in the Class 4A consolation game at Wells Fargo Arena to finish its season 24-2. The Lions tied a record held by Cedar Rapids Regis with their seventh consecutive state tournament trip and set a record with their seventh straight finish of fourth ...
Free throws hurt Linn-Mar in semifinal loss
DES MOINES — The Linn-Mar Lions lived by the line and died by the line.

Linn-Mar (23-2) was an impressive 24 of 30 ...

Southeast Polk player suspended; team preparing for Linn-Mar tilt
Southeast Polk High School has suspended a starting player on the boys' basketball team while the Rams play in the state tournament. School officials say Tony Sandquist must sit out two games for violating the student conduct code last month for attending a party where alcohol was present.

Linn-Mar walks the line in win over Clinton
DES MOINES — Have you ever seen a bunch of Lions line dance? No, that’s not a punch line to a bad joke. It’s the tale of this Class 4A state tournament quarterfinal. The Linn-Mar Lions lived and made Clinton die at the free-throw line in their 67-60 Class 4A state tournament quarterfinal victory last night at Wells Fargo Arena. Linn-Mar (23-1) went 24 for 30 from the charity stripe, 19 of 22 in the second half, to finally subdue a scrappy bunch ...
Iowa 4A talent discusses college recruiting
DES MOINES — The Class 4A part of the boys’ state basketball tournament begins, and the Division I coaches start showing up. Northern Iowa’s Ben Jacobson strolled around the Wells Fargo Arena floor following Wednesday afternoon’s session. Cedar Rapids Washington wing Josh Oglesby said coaches from Florida, West Virginia and Virginia were in town to watch him play. Well, maybe not just Oglesby. The potential future college players in action Wednesday included Linn-Mar’s Marcus Paige and Matt Bohannon, Cedar Rapids Jefferson’s Jarrod ...

Don’t tell Metro schools they have no chance
CEDAR RAPIDS — You get this from Marcus Paige. “He’s something else.” And this from Josh Oglesby. “He’s really good. That’s about all you can say.” There’s been more said about Harrison Barnes. A lot more. The Ames superstar is considered the top college recruit in the country and perhaps the best prep boys’ basketball player in Iowa history. The consensus is he could have jumped straight to the NBA next year but decided to play at least one season at North Carolina. Linn-Mar’s Paige and ...
