ISU Punter Van Der Kamp Named Pre-Season All-American

Sports

August 9th, 2013 by Jim Field

Van Der Kamp, Kirby13AMES, Iowa –Iowa State’s Kirby Van Der Kamp has earned respect nationally as one of the best punters in college football. He garnered more national respect this afternoon when Si.com placed him on its Second-Team Preseason All-America Team.

A native of West Des Moines, Iowa, Van Der Kamp, who was an All-Big 12 First-Team preseason pick, was named to the Ray Guy Award Watch List last month, an award given annually to the nation’s best punter. He was a semifinalist for the award a year ago.

Van Der Kamp, a three-time All-Big 12 pick, enters his senior season with a career 42.8 ypp average, the second-best career total in school history. But what sets Van Der Kamp apart from his peers is his ability to control field position with his leg. A total 72 times in his outstanding career he’s placed a punt inside the opponents’ 20-yard line, including 29 times last season.

“I think that Kirby Van Der Kamp is the best punter that there is in the country,” Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads said. “It’s not just his strong leg, but it’s also his ability to study his craft. He studies the weather and field conditions. He is one of the best I have ever been around.”

Van Der Kamp burst onto the scene in his freshman season (2010) when he averaged 45.2 ypp en route to Freshman All-America honors. He was recently named one of six ISU co-captains for the 2013 season.

Ellis’ 3-run homer lifts Dodgers over Cardinals

Sports

August 9th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A.J. Ellis hit a three-run home run and rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched seven stellar innings to help the red-hot Los Angeles Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 Thursday night. The Dodgers have won 17 of their last 18 games on the road, with the only loss coming Tuesday to St. Louis in the second game of the four-game set. Los Angeles returns home for a six-game home stand against Tampa and the New York Mets.

Ryu (11-3) allowed one unearned run on five hits while striking out seven and walking no one. He increased his winning percentage to .786, which is the highest winning percentage for a rookie in Dodgers’ history. Los Angeles spoiled the first Major League start for St. Louis rookie Carlos Martinez (0-1), who was called up from Triple-A Memphis earlier in the day to make the start.

Hawkeyes high on Powell

Sports

August 8th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — One of the many issues plaguing Iowa’s passing game last season was a lack of explosiveness, as it averaged only 5.8 yards per attempt. The Hawkeyes might have found major help from an unfamiliar source. The Hawkeyes, who finished 4-8 and just 2-6 in the Big Ten last season, have added one of the nation’s top junior college wideouts in Damond Powell.

The Hawkeyes had just 12 receptions of 30 yards or more in 2012. Powell was averaging a staggering 30 yards per grab for Snow Community College in Utah. Iowa offensive coordinator Greg Davis says Powell is fast and loves football. Davis says it’s the coaching staff’s duty to find ways to use Powell’s skills while he adjusts to playing for the Hawkeyes.

Pranks land Iowa high school program on probation

Sports

August 8th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

LAWTON, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa high school softball team’s pranks at a state tournament have landed the school’s athletic program on probation.  The Sioux City Journal says probation for the Lawton-Bronson High School girls program will last for a year. The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union says that if there’s misconduct during the probation, the school faces a year’s suspension from all state and regional tournaments.

The pranks occurred in Iowa Central Community College dormitories, where the girls stayed during the tournament July 22-26 in Fort Dodge.  Lawton-Bronson district superintendent Jeff Thelander says the players covered a dorm door in plastic wrap and placed dozens of paper cups filled with water outside doors of opposing players. Thelander also says inappropriate notes were stuck to players’ dorm room doors.

Dodgers knock out Miller, whip Cardinals 13-4

Sports

August 8th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Carl Crawford line-drive double off Shelby Miller’s right elbow ended the St. Louis Cardinals starter’s night after just two pitches and the Los Angeles Dodgers punished the rookie’s replacements, too, in a 13-4 victory on Wednesday night.

Andre Ethier and Skip Schumaker each had three hits and a season-best four RBIs and Crawford had a season-best four hits and a walk. The Dodgers had 18 hits to top their previous best by one, a night after the Cardinals ended their franchise-record 15-game road winning streak, and are 16-3 since the All-Star break.

X-rays were negative for the 22-year-old Miller, among the league leaders with a 2.89 ERA while going 11-7 in 22 starts, on what the team described as an elbow contusion. Miller pivoted after the pitch to Crawford, but couldn’t get his arm out of the way of the liner that bounded into shallow left field for a double.
