The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports a Red Oak man was arrested Tuesday night on a Theft-related warrant. 18-year old Kyle Jacob Parks, of Red Oak, was arrested at around 7:40-p.m. in the 100 block of W. Coolbaugh Street in Red Oak, on a Montgomery County arrest warrant for Theft in the 2nd Degree. Parks was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $5,000 bond.
Friday nights should be reserved for HIGH SCHOOL football in Iowa according to a member of the Iowa House. “In 2016, the Big Ten had an idea to have football games held on Friday nights.” That’s State Representative Peter Cownie of West Des Moines. He’s sponsoring legislation that would forbid the Hawkeyes from playing in Iowa City on a Friday night. The Cyclones and Panthers couldn’t play a “home” football game on a Friday night either if his bill becomes law.
“I played high school football, wonderful memories like tens of thousands of other Iowans,” Cownie says. “That’s a tradition that needs to be preserved.”Iowa has offered to host a home game to kick off the 2018 season, on the Friday of Labor Day weekend.
“I think this would create an unfortunate choice that a lot of Iowans would have to make then,” Cownie says. “And I feel strongly about it and I filed the bill.”
Cownie says Iowa communities of all sizes “come together” on a Friday night to cheer on the hometown team — and having the University of Iowa host a game on a Friday night would siphon off a significant number of fans. “It’s all very important, no question about it,” Cownie says. “Ticket sales would be hurt by it.”
And Cownie says many schools use those Friday Night ticket sales to finance the local football program. Cownie, by the way, was the quarterback for Dowling Catholic High School in West Des Moines in the late 1990s. Representatives of the board that governs the University of Iowa are officially registered as “undecided” on Cownie’s bill. Last November the Big Ten announced its new T-V deal includes a package of six Friday night games per season during each of the next six seasons. Penn State has announced it will not participate.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Senior Matt Thomas scored a career-high 25 points and Iowa State held off a furious Kansas State rally to win 70-65 on Tuesday night for its fourth victory in six games. Naz Mitrou-Long had 13 and Monte Morris scored 12 for the Cyclones (13-6, 5-3 Big 12), who blew a 46-26 lead but survived after Mitrou-Long’s steal and free throws with 21 seconds left.
Thomas, who entered averaging 11 points per outing, scored 20 points in a blistering first half as Iowa State jumped ahead 43-26. Thomas opened the second half with a 3-pointer to make it a 20-point game.
It seemed over — until K-State (15-5, 4-4) answered with a stunning 32-11 run that gave it a 58-57 lead with just over five minutes left. Morris scored on back-to-back possessions to give Iowa State the lead back, and Deonte Burton’s layup with 39 seconds to go gave the Cyclones a cushion that proved crucial in the closing moments.
Wesley Iwundu had 15 points for the Wildcats. Their three road losses in the Big 12 have come by a total of eight points.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Reed Timmer scored 27 points, including a game-winning driving layup with 16 seconds left in overtime to give Drake a 72-71 win over Missouri State on Tuesday night.
Nick McGlynn and Graham Woodward each hit jumpers to give Drake a 68-65 lead in the extra session and McGlynn’s basket with 52 seconds left made it 70-68. Dequon Miller made 1 of 2 free throws and the Bears trailed 70-69. After Timmer’s left-handed layup in traffic for a three-point lead, Missouri State’s Jarrid Rhodes missed a 3 and Obediah Church hit a jumper at the buzzer.
Ore Arogundade and McGlynn scored 10 apiece and T.J. Thomas grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds for Drake (7-14, 5-4 Missouri Valley). The Bulldogs led 34-33 at halftime and Timmer tied it at 64 at the end of regulation. Alize Johnson had 17 points and 17 rebounds for his 13th double-double for the Bears (14-8, 5-4), who saw their three-game win streak end.
