New Griswold head boys basketball coach Jake Speer is eager to be given the opportunity to coach early in his career. Speer was not looking to coach at the high school level right away coming out of college, but the opportunity to become an assistant early was too big to pass up. Speer said his confidence built as he got more years of experience.
In game coaching at the junior varsity level has really benefited Speer early in his career. Speer praised his old high school basketball coach, Darrell Burmeister, on how he coached in the past and wants to implement some of his philosophies in the future
Speer envisions some long term goals are to have all coaches throughout each level in the school district on the same page, while trying to maintain a good number of kids out for basketball. Getting more kids out for basketball and playing all year around is a good start said Speer.
Coach Speer will be coming into the head job looking to rejuvenate the program. The last two seasons the Tigers have a combined seven wins and the last time they had a winning season was back in 2014. The full length interview with Coach Speer will be available on this story later today.

(Radio Iowa) — Authorities spent yesterday (Thursday) digging in a Waterloo suburb, apparently looking for evidence in the month-long search for a missing Arizona man and his step-daughter, who are believed to have been murdered. The property being searched is at the end of Timber Oak Road, a cul-de-sac, in a quiet Evansdale neighborhood. Officials dressed in white hazmat suits carrying shovels and digging equipment could be seen near a chicken coop on the undeveloped property. The FBI and officers from several local agencies were involved in the search. Late Thursday afternoon, police in Chino Valley, Arizona, confirmed the digging was connected to the disappearance of 45-year-old David Batten and 28-year-old Elissa Landry, who have been missing since April 19th.
Landry’s boyfriend, 24-year-old Mitchell Mincks, formerly of Waterloo, is a person of interest in the Arizona homicide case. On April 28th, he was arrested on unrelated charges at rural Waterloo home. Authorities say two pets belonging to Landry were found in Waterloo last month and her missing vehicle is also believed to be in the Waterloo area.
