Iowa prepares For North Carolina in NCAA opener

Sports

May 30th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller will return to Indiana State this week when the Hawkeyes play in an NCAA Regional In Terre Haute. The Hawkeyes open Friday night against North Carolina. Heller coached the Sycamores before taking the Iowa job after the 2013 season.

Heller says while he will have a lot of former players at the regional his association with Indiana State won’t affect the team.

Heller says they went to work scouting North Carolina immediately and will work on a scouting report on the other two teams before they leave Iowa City. Top seeded Indiana State plays Wright State in the tournament opener Friday afternoon.

Heller says they have not set the complete pitching rotation for the weekend.

North Carolina is 35-22 and made it to the semifinals of the ACC Tournament.

That’s Tar Heel coach Scott Forbes who says star outfielder Vance Honeycutt will not play next weekend. He is sidelined with a lower back injury.

Forbes says they went to work immediately to scout the Hawkeyes.

Forbes says Friday night’s starting pitcher will be one of two junior righthanders in Jake Knapp or Max Carlson.

Omaha Biliew, Milan Momcilovic and Jackson Paveletzke have all been invited to the camp.

In addition to the three players at the camp, Iowa State Head Coach T.J. Otzelberger will serve as a court coach during the camp. Colorado’s Tad Boyle serves as head coach for the team, while he is assisted by Mike Boynton (Oklahoma State) and Leon Rice (Boise State).

Share the fun of fishing during free fishing weekend June 2-4

Ag/Outdoor, News, Sports

May 30th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Iowa DNR News) – Iowa residents can try fishing without buying a license on June 2, 3 and 4, as part of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) free fishing weekend. All other regulations remain in place. Free fishing weekend is a great time to share the fun of fishing with a kid, your family or a friend. Outdoor fun awaits at hundreds of Iowa lakes, thousands of miles of rivers or a neighborhood pond. Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa DNR’s Fisheries Bureau says “A summer of family fun is just a short drive and a fishing pole away. The water is waiting. Get your lines in the water and put your worries behind you.”

Find a list of stocked lakes and ponds that are easily accessible in parks and along trails on the Iowa DNR’s interactive Iowa Community Fisheries Atlas at www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/Fish-Local. Fun, hands-on fishing events will be offered across Iowa to help families new to fishing get started. Check the general fishing calendar on the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/fishing for a list of free fishing events.

Keep the fun going all summer long by buying a fishing license. It’s easy to buy a fishing license with the DNR Go Outdoors Iowa online licensing system at https://license.gooutdoorsiowa.com/Licensing/CustomerLookup.aspx. You can download the public Go Outdoors IA mobile app for iPhone and Android devices to buy and store your fishing license, so you will always have access to your license no matter where you are. Yearly, seven-day, or 24-hour fishing licenses are available.

Enticing a fish to bite your hook is fun for all ages. Get tips for taking kids fishing and catching crappie and bluegills on the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/Ready-to-Fish.
