Sports

November 8th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa junior guard Josh Oglesby will be out six weeks with a broken right foot. Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery says Oglesby, a junior, broke a bone during practice on Wednesday. He was set to have surgery on Friday.  Oglesby is one of Iowa’s top perimeter shooters even though he struggled last season.

Oglesby, a native of Cedar Rapids, made 42 3s last season but shot just 27.4 percent from the floor.   Freshman Peter Jok could take Oglesby’s place as a shooter off the bench when Iowa opens its season Friday against UNC-Wilmington.

Dyersville vote prompts speculation about project

Sports

November 6th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

DYERSVILLE, Iowa (AP) – The election of a new mayor and three new City Council members in Dyersville is prompting speculation about what the vote means to plans for a 24-field youth baseball and softball complex near the “Field of Dreams” movie site.  The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports  Jim Heavens, who lost his bid to be re-elected mayor in the Tuesday vote, says his defeat and the ouster of council members means the project is, “dead.”

Alvin Haas was elected mayor. The new City Council members are Mark Wagner, Teresa Bockenstedt and Ray Sauser. Nearby property owners have filed lawsuits against the city, arguing that officials illegally rezoned and approved building permits for the project. Denise Stillman, who heads a group backing the development, says it’s too early to comment on the election.
