The CAM Cougars boys basketball team lead throughout much of the game on Friday night against the Exira-EHK Spartans and held off a late charge to get a win 57-53. The Cougars opened up the game with a strong first quarter to take a 17-9 lead. The Spartans would trim the lead to 5 by the end of the first half at 28-23 and it was a 7 point Cougar lead at the end of the third 45-38. The Spartans got the game within two points in the final minutes but the Cougars responded with a big play. Nic Holste blocked a tying attempt by the Spartans and got the ball to Thomas Hensley. Hensley then completed a nifty behind the back dribble and pass across the lane to Jacob Holste who banked in an open shot underneath the hoop to give the Cougars their winning margin of 4 points.
Hensley finished with 18 points to lead all scorers while Nic Holste had a big line with 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Holste also got his hands on a number of balls throughout the night to force turnovers and deny entry passes to the block. CAM improves to 4-2 with the win and they will next host East Mills on Monday.
The Spartans were lead by 15 points from Trey Nelson who was a big factor in the rally in the second half, 13 of his points came after the intermission. The Spartans fall to 2-3 with the loss and will next travel to Paton-Churdan on Tuesday.
The Exira-EHK Spartans found themselves in an unfamiliar spot on their home floor on Friday night, they trailed heading into the fourth quarter.

The lead changed 4 times in the second half as the two teams traded blows. The key stretch that made the difference for the Spartans was with a little over 4 minutes left in the game. The Spartans got a three from Ellie Schultes to take a 51-48 lead followed by two missed free throws from the Cougars with 4:39 left. The Spartans then connected on another three from freshman Tatum Grubbs with 4:10 left in the game to push the lead to 6 at 54-48. The Cougars would only get as close as 4 after that to close the game.
It was a back and forth battle throughout. The Spartans lead 20-17 at the end of the first and maintained a three point lead at 33-30 at half.

Sheriff’s officials in Ringgold County said Friday (Today), that on Wednesday, Dec. 13th, the Ringgold County Sheriff’s Office responded to a complaint of an unattended child and an adult female who was passed out. After failed attempts to make contact with someone at 702 N. Webster street in Mount Ayr, the responding Deputy entered the residence of Chad Michael Mastin and Jacqueline Elaine Snyder to conduct a welfare check.
Snyder
Once inside it was determined the adult female was not in medical distress but was not easily awakened, sluggish and disoriented. In plain view drug paraphernalia was seen. The residence was secured and the defendant placed under arrest. A search warrant was applied for and granted. K9 “Heky” was deployed and alerted at different locations of the residence and garage. Items seized included: 2.5 grams of methamphetamine (another 3 grams from the defendant) for a total of 5.5 grams of methamphetamine, 3 grams of cocaine, 50 grams of marijuana and several items of drug paraphernalia to include a scale and various pipes used for smoking illegal drugs.
While executing this search warrant stolen property from at least two recent burglaries in Mount Ayr was discovered. A second search warrant was obtained for the stolen property. Items from The Farm and Home Store and Stutzman’s Auction have been recovered thus far.
Charges have been filed on Chad Michael Mastin for Possession of Stolen Property, Possession of Cocaine, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Child Endangerment. The Ringgold County Sheriff’s Office has requested warrants for his arrest. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges may be filed.
Snyder faces charges that include Possession of Meth and Marijuana, with the Intent to Deliver, Child Endangerment, Failure to Affix a Drug Tax Stamp and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Her bond was set at $40,000.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The city of Council Bluffs is suing the federal government to stop a Native American tribe from building a casino just seven miles away in Carter Lake.
City attorney Richard Wade says in U.S. District Court documents that a Ponca Tribe of Nebraska casino would compete with state-licensed casinos in Council Bluffs and cut into millions of dollars in fees, taxes and charitable contributions that benefit the city’s residents.
The National Indian Gaming Commission and the U.S. Interior Department cleared the way for the tribe’s casino plan in November. Wade claims in documents filed Wednesday that federal laws prohibit a casino on the tribe’s Carter Lake land.
The casino, to include 2,000 slot machines and a 150-room hotel, would create about 1,500 jobs.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Council Bluffs police say they have obtained a murder warrant for a man suspected in the death of another man whose body was found by a resident walking his dog.

Both men were described as being transients.
Thacker
A man walking his dog found Simpson’s body Monday morning in a grassy area near a warehouse on First Avenue. An autopsy shows Simpson died of blunt force trauma.
On Wednesday, officers charged 53-year-old Cleo W. McClellan with being an accessory to a felony-murder.
