AHSTW hosts Southwest Valley in match-up of improving teams on KJAN

Sports

October 17th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

The AHSTW Vikings (4-3) football team plays host to the Southwest Valley Timberwolves (3-4) on Friday night and we’ll have coverage on KJAN. It’s a match-up of teams that have improved throughout the season with a lot of youth on the field. Southwest Valley head Coach Anthony Donahoo said his team is treating this week like the start of a new season. The Timberwolves have nearly everyone coming back for next season so they are looking to build some momentum that can carry over to next year. Coach Donahoo said this meeting with the Vikings should be a good one.

The Timberwolves have been able to run the ball pretty effectively throughout the season with quarterback Brendan Knapp leading the option attack. Coach Donahoo said the big issue has been finishing drives.

AHSTW Head Coach GG Harris feels like his team has continued to improve throughout the season. There was a lot of turnover for the Vikings from last year’s State Runner-Up team and Coach Harris thinks everyone is settling well into their roles as they gain experience. He expects the Timberwolves to be a solid test.

Quarterback Blake Holst has thrown for 901 yards and 6 touchdowns this year for the Vikings, and Denver Pauley has led the ground attack with 602 yards and 6 scores. Jackson Woltmann has been another strong ball carrier for AHSTW with 508 yards and 4 touchdowns. Coach Harris likes the balance they have created on that side of the ball but he thinks the defense may be key this week. He is excited about the recent improvement on defense from his squad and knows they will need to play sound this week to stop that rushing attack.

The Vikings and Timberwolves will kickoff at 7:00pm in Avoca on Friday night. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call on KJAN with the Dvorak Tire and Service pregame starting at 6:30pm. You can catch our pick ’em show “Who’s Gonna Win?” at 6:00pm and stay tuned after the game for the “Iowa High School Scoreboard Show” from 10:00pm-11:30pm with all the scores from around the state. Catch the game on-air, online, or on the web app. You can also watch the game on KJANTV.

Bankers survey shows improved rural economy in October

News

October 17th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The latest survey of bankers in rural parts of 10 Plains and Western states showed an improved rural economy this month, but the ongoing trade disputes continue weighing on the economy. The Rural Mainstreet survey’s overall index climbed to 51.4 for October from 50.1 in September. Any score above 50 suggests a growing economy, while a score below 50 indicates a shrinking economy.

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey, says federal crop support payments and higher grain prices helped boost October’s index, but noted that nearly three-quarters of bankers “reported continuing negative impacts from the trade war.”

The confidence index, which reflects bankers’ economic expectations six months out, slumped to a dismal 36.5 from September’s already low 42.9. Bankers from Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming were surveyed.

Atlantic football ready to finish strong

Sports

October 17th, 2019 by Jim Field

Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans (2-5) football team has suffered setbacks to back-to-back top ten ranked teams, but the Trojans are ready to finish the season strong. Two more contests remain for Atlantic and then next challenge will be the Shenandoah Mustangs (2-5) this Friday night at the Trojan Bowl.

The Trojans fell in their Homecoming contest to Greene County 26-0 last week. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said despite the loss he was impressed with the way the defense finished that game.

The Mustangs feature a veteran quarterback that can run and throw the ball effectively in Kyle Cerven. Coach McDermott said containing the run threat from the quarterback spot will be a key in the game. When the Trojans have the ball Coach McDermott said they need to execute better and make the big plays that they have missed out on the past couple of games.

The Trojans and the Mustangs will kickoff at 7:00pm on Friday night at the Trojan Bowl. You can hear the a full interview with Coach McDermott on “Trojan Preview” at 4:45pm Friday on KJAN.

A reminder that all former Trojan football players are encouraged to come to the game this week to support the team and commemorate the final game at the Trojan Bowl before renovations are made after the season. It also is another part of the season long celebration of the 125th year of Trojan football.

Appeals court to hear judge appointment law case arguments

News

October 17th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Court of Appeals has set a date for arguments in a lawsuit that challenges a law giving the governor more power over the selection of supreme court and appeals court judges.

Chief Judge Thomas Bower says in an order signed last week that the court will hear arguments on Nov. 6.
Lawyer Bob Rush, a former Democratic state senator who is one of the plaintiffs, asked that Gov. Kim Reynolds’ most recent appointment to the court, Judge Julie Schumacher, recuse herself because the validity of her appointment could be affected by the outcome.

Bower rejected the recusal request and a request for a full court hearing. He says he and four other judges will hear the case on an expedited basis. The lawsuit alleges the law is an unconstitutional infringement by the legislative branch of the judicial branch and violates a state law requiring bills to center on one topic and clearly state a purpose.
