(Radio Iowa) – Major League Baseball officials flew to Des Moines to meet with Iowa lawmakers this week to discuss a bill that would ban T-V blackouts that prevent Iowans from watching six different teams in the region. Representative J.D. Scholten, a Democrat from Sioux City who played professional baseball in six countries, co-sponsored the bill. It seeks to end Major League Baseball rules that prohibit games featuring the Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers from airing on T-V screens in Iowa.

Senate Republican Leader Jack Whitver also met with the M-L-B officials.

Whitver calls the blackouts ridiculous and he says the league plans to work with their network broadcast partners to fix it.

Scholten says Major League Baseball has been promising to fix this issue since 2015, so he plans to continue pressing for
passage of the bill.

But Scholten says the first test of whether the league is serious about broadcasting more games into Iowa may come soon. The Diamond Sports Group that’s been broadcasting Twins, Royals, Cardinals and Brewers games on T-V has filed for bankruptcy. Major League Baseball has announced that if the company doesn’t pay its rights fees, the league is prepared to take over broadcasting duties.

The Atlantic boys golf team is anxious to get out on the course for a new season and this year’s squad will have a good mix of talent across class levels. Coach Ed Den Beste said a number of guys are expected to compete for varsity time.

Coach Den Beste said they have been able to do some indoor work early in the season when the weather hasn’t cooperated but they focus on a lot of short game work early in the year.

With the mix of players they have Coach Den Beste said building some team chemistry will be important.

He said he expects some great competition throughout the conference again with Kuemper Catholic and Lewis Central expected to be a couple of the top teams. He said they can be in the mix if they improve throughout the season.

The Trojans are set to open up competition with a home dual against Kuemper Catholic on Tuesday, April 4th.

DALLAS — University of Iowa junior Caitlin Clark has been named the 2023 Associated Press Women’s College Basketball Player of the Year. The announcement was made on Thursday by the AP.

She received 20 votes from the 28-member national media panel that votes on the AP Top 25 each week. Voting was done before the NCAA Tournament began.

“It’s a huge honor,” Clark said. “I picked a place that I perfectly fit into and that’s allowed me to show my skill set. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t mean something. It’s not the reason you play basketball, it’s just something that comes along with getting to do what you love.”

Clark is the second Hawkeye, and Big Ten student-athlete, to earn the distinction since the award was established in 1995. Iowa’s Megan Gustafson was the recipient of the national award after her historic season in 2019.

Iowa junior Caitlin Clark was named the winner of the Naismith Trophy, given annually to the nation’s top women’s basketball. Clark is the first division one women’s player to record more than 900 points and 300 assists and will lead the Hawkeyes into the Final Four on Friday night against top ranked South Carolina. Clark was a finalist for the award a year ago when the Final was in the Twin Cities.

Clark has led the Hawkeyes to the Final Four for the first time since 1993.

Clark averages more than 27 points and eight assists and has become the sport’s biggest star in the midst of soaring television ratings.
