Iowa basketball prepares for a trip to Europe

Sports

July 21st, 2023 by Asa Lucas

Practices are ramping up for the Iowa basketball team for next month’s trip to Europe. The Hawkeyes leave August fifth and will play three games in France and Spain.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. The Hawkeyes have six new players, including four freshmen, and McCaffery has been impressed with how quickly they have picked things up.

McCaffery says with so many new players the timing was right for a summer trip.

The Hawkeyes finished 19-14 last season and lost to Auburn in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.

The 2023-2024 school year begins August 23rd for the Atlantic Community School District, and the Booster Club’s campaign kicked-off with six-levels of support available for you to choose from. Starting contributions are $140 for an annual pass to all activities, and finish with $2,000 Diamond Supporter packages that offer recognition on a multitude of programs, signs and digital ads at school events.

To support the program, community members, businesses and organizations can find a flyer in the New Telegraph’s weekly mailer that goes out to every household in the county.

The Club meets every third Monday at the Atlantic High School. Their meetings are open to the public, where involvement is welcomed with enthusiasm.

Sports

July 21st, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Third ranked Remsen St. Mary’s plays ninth ranked Lisbon in the 1A championship game at state baseball in Carroll. Remsen St. Mary’s lost in the title game a year ago to New London.

That’s Remsen St. Mary’s coach Dean Harpenau, who says it could be another low scoring, defensive game.

The Hawks are in search of their first title since 2016.
