DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The annual doubleheader featuring Iowa’s four Division I teams has been extended through 2019.
The event, known as the Hy-Vee Big 4 Classic, features the Hawkeyes and Cyclones playing Northern Iowa and Drake on a rotating basis in the state’s capital city of Des Moines. The doubleheader began as a compromise in 2012 so that high-majors Iowa and Iowa State could still face their instate rivals without having to play a true road game.
The event has taken off lately, with sellouts in each of the last two seasons.
Northern Iowa and Iowa, which both advanced to the second round of last year’s NCAA Tournament, play each other in Des Moines on Dec. 17. The Cyclones, who were Sweet 16 qualifiers last season, will face Drake.

The Griswold School District’s Facilities Committee, Monday evening, shared their first update on options for the current facilities. Officials say the Committee’s original mission, was to look at three options. They shared with the Board that they would like to focus on two possibilities, and table “Option B,” at this time. Specifically “Option B” was to consolidate the elementary buildings into one building: either Lewis or Elliott.
Their focus is now shifting into looking at cost savings of the remaining two options and their academic, financial and community benefits, determining which option would best serve the district and our students. The Committee will meet again this Thursday evening, and will continue to meet, reporting to the board again in November.
An open forum meeting will then take place with the board in January.

He says he and DNR District Forester Lindsey Barney will tour Sunnyside Park and check out the nearly 1,000 trees and evaluate them. They’ll also talk about Emerald Ash Borer.
