FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets have promoted Jeff Bauer to director of college scouting, filling the vacancy created when Joey Clinkscales left to become Oakland’s director of player personnel. The Jets also hired Kevin Kelly on Friday as an area scout after he served in the same role the last three seasons for Indianapolis. Bauer is entering his 12th season with the Jets, and spent the last 11 seasons covering the Midwest as a scout. He was a high school and middle school football coach for 11 years before joining the Jets. Bauer played safety at Iowa State from 1987-90. Kelly was an area scout for Cleveland from 2001-08.
Chaley Rath of Treynor defended her state title in the Class 1A girls High Jump on Friday afternoon at Drake Stadium. Rath cleared 5 feet, 8.25 inches for the victory and set a new Class 1A record in the process. She broke the previous record of 5 feet, 8 inches that was set in 2004 by Jenni Elbert of Laurens-Marathon.
The Griswold Tigers Girls Track team is in the lead of the Class 1A team standings at the 2012 State Track Meet heading into the final day. Griswold currently holds 30 team points and lead second placed Earlham by 6 points.
The Tigers have three events competing on Saturday with the Sprint Medley Team running in the opening event of the day and both Rebekah Topham and Alyx Flippen running in the 1500M Finals. Topham and Flippen finished 1-2 in the 3000m run so they look for a strong showing in the 1500M as well. Topham will also compete in the 800 Meter Run Finals as well.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa sophomore Jade Rogers and freshman Virginia Johnson are ending their college careers because of chronic injuries. Rogers played in just 13 games in 2010-11 because of a left knee injury and later had surgery to help realign her knee. Rogers missed the entire 2011-12 season, and coach Lisa Bluder says her decision to walk away was a tough one. Johnson battled concussions in high school and during her first year at Iowa. She was only able to play in 13 games. Bluder says that while Johnson would have competed for a starting spot in 2012-13, the risk of further concussions couldn’t be dismissed.

The Avoca Police Department reports two A-H-S-T high school students were charged with filing a false police report in connection with the bomb scare at the high school in Avoca on May 1st. The pair would see jail time if convicted of the class “D” felony.
Officials say the unnamed high school junior and senior conspired to create the first ever bomb scare at the school district. An eleventh grade male student allegedly wrote the note indicating a bomb would go off at a specific time, and left it in the boy’s bathroom.
A male senior student phoned 911 reporting the alleged threat from his cell phone. According to A-H-S-T Superintendent Mark Hopkins, the administration is currently reviewing internal procedures and polices for the incident.
KJAN News Director Ric Hanson returned to the scene of this (Friday) morning’s house fire in Atlantic, and took these pictures of the smoldering remains. More on this story can be found on an earlier posting. There were no injuries.
