Former Trojan Franken headed to Dordt

Sports

April 13th, 2018 by admin

Former Atlantic All-State hoopster Garrett Franken announced this week that he is transferring to Dordt College in Sioux Center to continue his academic and basketball career. Franken was a freshman at the University of North Dakota this past season.

Franken appeared in 12 games for the Fighting Hawks this season and averaged 1 point and 1 rebound in 5.5 minutes per game. Franken stated playing time was a factor in his decision to transfer. He also stated the decision to go to Dordt was influenced by his strong family connection to the school where his older brother Dalton played. Dalton finished his career #20 on the Dordt all-time scoring list with 1,165 points.

The Dordt Defenders were 12-19 in the 2017-18 season. Brian Van Haaften was recently named the new Head Coach for the program in March, coming over from his longtime stint at Buena Vista University.

The Coe Kohawks are coached by Steve Cook who is in his 22nd Season with the program. They have a 13-8 record on the current season.

University of Iowa halts construction amid budget cuts

News

April 13th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The University of Iowa plans to halt more than 100 campus construction projects in response to budget cuts approved by state lawmakers. The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports that the freeze went into effect Thursday and will last for about five months. Most of the halted construction is maintenance related, but it also includes some larger projects such as a wrestling facility, a hospital facility and an art museum facility.

Projects that are already in the construction phrase, critical to the university or related to public safety will continue. The Legislature cut the state Board of Regents’ budget by $11 million last month. The board responded by cutting UI and Iowa State University budgets by 2.4 percent. UI must make up a nearly $5.5 million shortfall before the fiscal year ends in June.
