CAM students Owen & Brentyn Hoover and Atlantic’s Joaquin & Jake Walies have qualified to fish for a High School National Championship at the 14^th Annual at Bass Federation’s (TBF) Student Angler Federation (SAF) Championships in Lacrosse, Wisconsin June 20-24. In the Junior division Atlantic Trojans Grayson Molgaard and Owen Miller are moving on to compete at the TBF Junior World Championships to be held on Sonner Lake in Oklahoma July 26-29.

The high school student anglers earned their spot by competing in the third annual TBF/SAF Iowa State Championship held Saturday, May 20 for the first time ever on the Okoboji Chain of Lakes. High skies, sunshine and a light variable wind welcomed 43 two-person teams in the High School Division (grades 9-12) as they left the Emerson Bay Boat Ramp area at 6:30 a.m.

According to Bob Harris, SWIFT coach, the bite was tough in the morning after Friday’s cold front, but as the day progressed, the bite improved. “Many of the teams caught up to 25-30 bass throughout the tournament as they worked to upgrade the weight of their five best bass.”

Each team worked to figure out the best pattern for the area they were fishing for. 32 teams brought five-bass limits to the stage at the 2:30 p.m. afternoon weigh-in. A total of 190 bass were weighed in and safely released back into the lake.

Leading the way with a five-fish weight of 18.06 pounds was the team of Ways Raasch and Will Neville of team OABICG Falcons. They also brought in the tournament’s big fish with a 5.01 pounder.

Second place went to Noah Franken and Jay Van Zee of team Unity Christian with a five-fish limit of 17.06 pounds. Meanwhile, Emmett King and AJ Draper of Panorama High School Panthers took third place with a five-fish limit weight of 16.07 pounds. Fourth place with a five-fish weight of 15.15 pounds went to Henry Rosener and Clay Price of the Johnston Fishing Club Dragons. Harris says, “It was really a tight competition with the top five teams separated by a mere three pounds.”

Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller says his Hawkeyes have lived up to expectations this season. Iowa closed the regular season with a record of 39-13 and will be the three seed in the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha. They take on sixth seeded Michigan in the tournament opener Tuesday morning.

The Hawkeyes have played well down the stretch. They enter the conference tournament having won 16 of their last 20 games.

Sophomore Marcus Morgan will start on the mound against the Wolverines. He was lifted early in Iowa’s 15-3 win over Northwestern last Thursday.

Michigan is 26-26 overall and finished 13-11 in the Big Ten.

Iowa’s Kris Murray tried to solidify himself as a first round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft at the combine in Chicago. Murray announced he will skip his senior season with the Hawkeyes after a junior campaign in which he averaged better than 20 points and nearly eight rebounds. He also learned from twin brother, Keegan, that he will need to carve out a role on the team that takes him.

Kris believes he has the mind set it takes to be a pro.

It has been quite a journey for Kris who was lightly recruited while at Cedar Rapids Prairie High School.

The draft will be June 22nd in New York City.

Riverside’s girls took 4th in the Class 1A team race with 30 points. Nodaway Valley was 8th with 26 points.

Atlantic girls finished 10th in 3A with 25 points on the board.

ACGC was 5th in the boys 1A team competition with 33 points. CAM and St. Albert tied for 12th with 18 points.

In boys 3A Harlan was 3rd with 55 points. Lewis Central was 7th with 31 points. Atlantic scored 3 points on the weekend.
