Kirk Ferentz calls Cunningham’s comments “offensive”

Sports

September 6th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz shot back at former broadcaster Ed Cunningham on Tuesday, saying that allegations that the Hawkeyes would subject a player to possible long-term health issues “surprising and offensive.”

Cunningham said in a story in the New York Times last week that he retired from broadcasting because of his discomfort over the health risks associated with football. Cunningham said his last straw was watching limping Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard play in last year’s Outback Bowl until the closing moments, even though the game was a blowout.

Ferentz added that Iowa’s medical staff has the final say about whether a player is fit to compete. Beathard’s father, Casey, defended the Hawkeyes in a statement, saying that Iowa was “very thorough and diligent in addressing any injury situations.”

Martinez slugs 2 home runs as Cardinals beat Padres 8-4

Sports

September 6th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jose Martinez hit two home runs, rookie Harrison Bader added a career-high three RBIs and Michael Wacha survived a shaky start to last six innings as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 8-4 on Tuesday night. Martinez added a double to go 3 for 3 and finish with three RBIs.

Bader, who was a September call-up on Friday, smacked his third home run and had his third multi-hit game since being summoned. Wacha (11-7), who blanked the Padres over his last four innings, was charged with four runs (three earned) and seven hits. He walked three and struck out six in winning for the second straight time after suffering three consecutive losses.

Three Cardinals relievers shut out the Padres in the final three innings.

Cardinals recall INF Breyvic Valera from AAA Memphis

Sports

September 5th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS, Mo., September 5, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have recalled infielder Breyvic Valera from Memphis (AAA) and that he will join the team for tonight’s game in San Diego.

Valera, 25, a non-drafted free agent (signed on May 13, 2010) from Montalban, Venezuela, played in 800 career minor league games over eight seasons before arriving in the Major Leagues.

The switch-hitting infielder batted .314 with eight home runs, 41 RBI and 11 stolen bases and led the Redbirds in batting average, hits (133) and triples (6) during the 2017 season.  From July 4 through the end of the season, Valera ranked 12th among all minor leaguers with a .359 average, tallying 24 multi-hit games and ran off a 26-game on-base streak from July 30-August 29, batting .366 with a .415 OBP during that stretch.  He was recognized as the Pacific Coast League Player of the Week for July 31-August 6.

The 5-10, 184-pound Valera struck out just 34 times in his 424 at-bats this season, and led Memphis down the stretch in their record-breaking 91-win season by batting .346 with 5 HR’s & 18 RBI in 25 games in August – earning the Cardinals Minor League Player of the Month award for the month of August.

Over his 800 career minor league games, Valera has a .303 batting average including a .359 on-base percentage.  He has been named to three mid-season All-Star Games (New York-Penn League 2012, Midwest League 2013 & Florida State League 2014) and was recognized as the 2016 Venezuelan Winter League Most Valuable Player.

Valera has been assigned uniform No. 41 and will become the 11th Cardinal to make his Major League debut this season.

Atlantic’s Alexander officially signs with Northwestern College

Sports

September 5th, 2017 by admin

Atlantic senior point guard Austin Alexander officially signed his letter of intent Tuesday morning to continue his education and basketball career at Northwestern College in Orange City.

The point guard averaged 11.9 points and 4 assists per game during his junior season in which the Trojans earned their way to the Class 3A State Basketball Tournament. Alexander shot 46% from the field and from three point range last year. Austin has also been active on the AAU basketball circuit this summer. Austin said he chose Northwestern over a couple of other GPAC schools and some Division II programs.  He said he felt very comfortable there after a visit.

Alexander likes the faith aspect of the Christian school and his intended major of Secondary Education is offered there so those were both strong factors. Atlantic Assistant Coach Jacey Hoegh played at Northwestern so he put in a good word during the process.

The Northwestern College Red Raiders play in the NAIA’s Great Plains Athletic Conference and went 27-7 last season under Head Coach Kris Korver. Korver said Austin has been a high recruiting priority for them for a long time.

Korver thinks Austin’s ability to shoot the three definitely plays in to their system but he likes his versatility.

Korver has four Seniors on this year’s Red Raiders team so he thinks Alexander will have the chance to contribute in the early part of his career. Alexander will be one of 4 returning starters for Coach Alan Jenkins’ Trojan squad this season
