Sports

October 25th, 2011 by Jim Field

Saint Albert has officially become the 11th member of the Hawkeye 10 Conference.  The St. Albert school board voted unanimously Monday night to join the conference making it official that the school will join the Hawkeye 10 in the fall of 2013.  The Council Bluffs school was invited to the conference earlier this summer following a three to four year process that involved the Hawkeye 10 sending out surveys to several possible members.  St. Albert had been a member of the Centennial Conference in Nebraska.  This is the first change in membership for the conference since 1993 when Denison and Kuemper Catholic joined to turn the Hawkeye 8 into the Hawkeye 10.  The Hawkeye 10 Conference Board of Directors voted unanimously June 10th to accept St. Albert as its 11th school.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa farmers are making good progress on the harvest as well as fall field work as the dry weather continues. The weekly crop report on Monday says the dry spell is affecting soil moisture, with topsoil moisture levels at 35 percent very short and 37 percent short.

The report shows 71 percent of the corn crop has been harvested, which is about two weeks ahead of the five-year average. Fifty-nine percent of the corn is in good to excellent condition. The soybean harvest is 95 percent complete, more than two weeks ahead of the average pace.

Rain totals for the week ranged from none over much of the northeast two-thirds of Iowa to .22 inches at Underwood in Pottawattamie County in western Iowa.
