The Predicament’s January Class 2A rankings
The top six teams in the rankings have a number of wrestlers on the list. All of them have at least five wrestlers ranked. Defending state champion Ballard still leads the way with Denver-Tripoli and Davenport Assumption close behind. The state tournament could be very interesting depending upon the number of qualifiers each can take to Des Moines. Top 10 State Tournament Teams (# of ranked wrestlers) 1. Ballard (6) 2. Denver-Tripoli (8) 3. Davenport Assumption (7) 4. Independence (6) 5. Forest City (5) 6. East Marshall ...
Rivalry Saturday could include a moment of history
CEDAR RAPIDS — Scot Moenck chose Waukon and MFL MarMac as a Rivalry Saturday matchup simply because ... well, because both teams are darn good. He may have stumbled onto a historical moment. Waukon Coach Gene Klinge goes after his 939th career victory in the 4:30 game at the U.S. Cellular Center. That would give him sole possession of the all-time record among Iowa girls’ basketball coaches. Currently, he shares the mark with the late Bob Mullen. “I didn’t expect Coach Klinge to have ...

Alburnett comes through late
ALBURNETT — Six baserunners were stranded in the first three innings. Glass half-empty. On the other hand, they were getting runners aboard. Glass half-full. “Honestly, I wasn’t that worried,” said Alburnett’s Allyssa Neighbor. “We usually end up scoring at the end of games. I had complete confidence. We’d done it before.” And, lo and behold, when crunch time arrived, Alburnett’s cup runneth over. The 14th-ranked Pirates struck for five late runs and sidelined Maquoketa Valley, 5-1, in a Class 2A first-round regional softball game Thursday ...
Maquoketa Valley hopes to extend the magic
Spring swings have led to a dramatic summer transformation. A softball program accustomed to wallowing in the depths of the Tri-Rivers Conference, Maquoketa Valley underwent a stirring flip-flop this summer. Winners of only two league games a year ago, the Wildcats quadrupled their league scoring output and captured the Tri-Rivers championship. "The only thing we’ve done differently, really, is a lot of hitting in the spring," said first-year head coach Ali Scherman. Maquoketa Valley hopes to extend its turnaround into the postseason. The Wildcats ...
