Kuemper Catholic 177, Atlantic 188

Medalist:  Morgan Naberhaus (K) 42
Runner up:  Mara Mashing (K) 42

Atlantic Scores:

  • Kaitlynn Walter 44
  • Bailey Walter 46
  • Brooke Fletcher 48
  • Shelby Worth 50
  • Malachi Wickman 69
  • Katie Blake 72

Coach Kathy Hobson says: Kuemper has a very good group of golfers but I’m very pleased with posting a team score of 188 for our first meet of the season. If we can build on that we’ll have a great year.  We definitely had some course management issues we need to get corrected.  Brooke Fletcher got off to slow start but to her credit came right back with a par.  Was nice to see Bailey come in with a 46 and Kaitlynn Walter played very consistent.  That is something we have to have from our senior.  Shelby Worth proved to be a great addition to our team in her first varsity outing.  And, Malachi Wickman and Katie Blake, for being new golfers, played very admirably for their first competition.

In a follow-up to our story Tuesday morning, Police in Council Bluffs early today (Wednesday), said 56-year old Donald Shamblen, of Council Bluffs, was charged with Interference with Official Acts and Failure to Appear in Court, following a stand-off in the city, that began at around 5:30-p.m. Monday and ended early Tuesday morning.

Officials say officers were dispatched to 2330 South 13th Street in reference to a man who had a warrant for his arrest. When officers arrived, Shamblen fled on foot into a detached garage. The officers attempted to make contact with Shamblen, who allegedly threatened to kill himself and Police.

Officers at the scene set up a perimeter and called-in the Emergency Services Team (EST), along with negotiators with the Council Bluffs P-D. Negotiators made contact with Shamblen through a secure phone, and after several hours of negotiations, the EST forced their way into the garage, taking Shamblen into custody without further incident.
