Coach Ed DenBeste: “It was a pretty good day in Shenandoah.  I thought our team played pretty well.  Great to see Ben shoot an even par round today.  He made some key birdies today.  Good to see Matt play well.  Cyle had some struggles on a few holes.  Hit the ball well to start but then had a few struggles to finish.  Great to see Austin place today and have a pretty solid finish with 85.  Started with some high numbers but had a great stretch of pars.  Mason played well but wants to do better.  This was Drey’s first varsity experience and I know he is going to do better next match.  Next match at Fox Run.  Hope to have a lower score on Thursday.”

Coach Kathy Hobson: “Looking for more consistent play.  Maybe once weather straightens out and we can play on regular basis that will come.  Hard to go from practicing in parkas one night and playing in short sleeves and light jackets the next.  Nouha Barray had a fantastic shot out of a bunker.  Alyssa and Baylee had good rounds.  Fun to watch them compete against each other.”

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Carpenter hit a two-run home run with no outs in the 11th inning to lift the St. Louis Cardinals over the Milwaukee Brewers 5-3. Carpenter turned around a pitch from J.J. Hoover for the third game-ending homer of his career. It capped a night in which St. Louis rallied from one-run deficits in the ninth and 10th innings.

NEW YORK (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina and Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo both have been suspended one game for their dustup over the weekend. Molina, who bumped plate umpire Tim Timmons during the bench-clearing dispute, has appealed and can continue to play until the process is complete. The Cardinals were hosting Milwaukee. Lovullo, who also was fined, missed a game at San Francisco.

UNDATED (AP) — Mark McGwire says he could have hit 70 home runs in a season without taking performance-enhancing drugs. The current bench coach for the San Diego Padres tells The Athletic he regrets taking the drugs because he “didn’t need to.” McGwire hit a single-season record 70 home runs in 1998 while with the St. Louis Cardinals. McGwire says he wished there was testing when he played because there’s “no way” he would have used PEDs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Felix Hernandez pitched into the sixth inning, Guillermo Heredia homered and the Seattle Mariners bounced back from a blowout loss to Kansas City with an 8-3 rout of the Royals. Hernandez was shelled his last time out in San Francisco, but allowed three runs, six hits and a walk in 5 2/3 innings against Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals have placed Alex Gordon on the disabled list with a torn hip labrum and recalled fellow outfielder Abraham Almonte from Triple-A Omaha. Gordon woke up with pain on Monday and was examined in greater detail Tuesday, and the results showed that an old tear he’d been playing through had worsened. Royals manager Ned Yost was hopeful the recovery time will be 10 days to two weeks.

NEW YORK (AP) — Kansas and North Carolina State are the latest schools to be swept up in a bribery scandal involving college basketball. A rewritten federal indictment released in the New York case alleges that an Adidas representative paid parents of athletes willing to commit to the schools. According to court papers, the Adidas representative, who no longer works for the company, agreed to funnel $90,000 to the family of a Kansas recruit and $40,000 to a recruit at North Carolina State.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association released the assignments for State Qualifying Track Meets on Tuesday. It will be a literal sprint for teams to prepare for those meets this season as those meets are 30 days away despite the fact that very few meets have been completed due to the poor spring weather.

In Class 3A Atlantic will be a host site and teams competing there will be ADM, Atlantic, Carroll, Creston, Denison-Schleswig, Glenwood, Harlan, and Winterset. Follow the links below to see full assignment lists.

Southwestern Community College Head Men’s Basketball Coach Todd Lorensen is leaving to take the same position at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake.

BVU Director of Athletics Jack Denholm made the announcement on Tuesday that Lorensen was becoming the coach pending successful completion of a standard background check.

Lorensen just completed his fourth season at Southwestern Community College in Creston where he compiled a coaching record of 113-25. Lorensen lead the Spartans to the 2016-17 National Junior College Athletic Association Division II National Championship with a 36-1 record. The Spartans followed that up with a third place finish this past season.

Prior to taking over at Southwestern, Lorensen was head coach at Iowa Wesleyan University for one season, and also had stints as an assistant coach at Truman State, UNO, and Grand View University.  Lorensen played one season at Quincy University in Quincy, IL and three years at Grand View University.

Lorensen takes over the Buena Vista job from Brian Van Haaften who left to become the Head Coach at Dordt College in March. The Beavers were 17-9 during the 2017-18 campaign.
