Athletic trainer says Drake fired him over medical condition

Sports

November 23rd, 2016 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Drake University’s head athletic trainer says he was abruptly fired after 31 years when a medical condition forced him to urinate in a training room. Scott Kerr filed a complaint Tuesday against Drake with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, alleging disability and age discrimination.

Kerr said that he developed a medical condition that gave him sudden urges to urinate. He said that as he was working Aug. 29, he urinated in a tank that he was cleaning out. He believed he was alone and thoroughly cleaned the tank afterward.

But someone else saw what happened. Kerr says he reported it to administrators days later. Kerr said he was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate, and hoped Drake would accommodate his condition. But he was fired by athletic director Sandy Hatfield Clubb.

Atlantic Girls Basketball falls at Denison

Sports

November 22nd, 2016 by admin

20161122_atlanticgirlsatdenisonThe Atlantic Girls Basketball team is now 0-2 on the young season after a 54-34 loss at Denison on Tuesday night.  The Trojans suffered from poor shooting on the night and and couldn’t keep pace with a Denison team that returned the core of their lineup from last season.  The Monarchs took advantage of a scoring drought for the Trojans in the second quarter and grabbed a 14 point halftime lead.  Atlantic cut that lead down to 8 to start the third quarter but Denison pushed back and lead 41-26 by the end of the third on their way to the 20 point win.

Denison was led by Macy Waldemar with 12 points and Alex Mohr with 11.  Atlantic got 10 points from McKenna DenBeste in the loss. Atlantic Head Coach Kelly Juhl thought his team was sluggish after playing last night and shooting suffered.

Coach Juhl didn’t believe the loss was due to a lack of knowledge they just need to shoot better and find some players that will lead by example.

The Trojans are off now for the Thanksgiving break and will be back on the floor Friday, December 2nd at St. Albert.

Atlantic lets lead slip away in opener against Carroll

Sports

November 21st, 2016 by admin

20161121_atlantic-girlsvscarroll2 The Atlantic Girls Basketball team let one slip away to start the 2016-17 season at home against Carroll Monday night. The Trojans led by 10 at the end of the third quarter but let that lead slip away in a 70-67 loss.

The two teams traded the lead back and forth down the stretch and Atlantic lead by 1 before Madison Lingle nailed one of her 4 fourth quarter 3-pointers to put the Tigers back up by 1.  Catherine Leonard was then fouled on the other end and went to the line for two free throws for Atlantic. She made the first but missed the second and the ball ended up tied up on a fight for the rebound. The possession arrow belonged to Carroll and they in-bounded the ball and ran off about five seconds until Atlantic was able to foul Tiger Sophomore Taylor Mohr with 9 seconds left. Mohr, who was playing much of the final quarter with four fouls, knocked down the 1-and-1 freebies and pushed the lead out to 3.  Atlantic had one final three point heave from Baylee Newell that fell short and time ran out.

Atlantic Coach Kelly Juhl was disappointed that his team broke down defensively in the fourth quarter and said Carroll found the right moment in the game to get hot.

Carroll was led in the win by Lingle with 19 points. Taylor Mohr finished with 16.  Atlantic was led in the loss by Baylee Newell with 18 points and Brooke Newell with 13. The Trojans really struggled in the fourth quarter to get out on the hot shooters for the Tigers and Coach Juhl said they didn’t execute the defensive game-plan the Trojans wanted to.

Atlantic doesn’t get any time to dwell on the loss as they head to Denison tonight for a tough game against the Lady Monarchs. Coach Juhl knows they will need to have a short memory to put the tough loss behind them and be ready for another big test.

20161121_atlanticgirlsvscarroll1We’ll have coverage of the Trojans and Lady Monarchs for you tonight on KJAN. Pre-Game scheduled for 7:15pm with Tip-off at 7:30pm.
