Gophers LB Cody Poock out for season with shoulder surgery

Sports

November 9th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Golden Gophers linebacker Cody Poock (pohk) has been scheduled for season-ending surgery on his shoulder. Poock, a junior who started his career at Iowa Western Community College, sat out the 2014 season with a knee injury. This year, he has 24 tackles in seven games, with one sack.

Gophers coach Tracy Claeys said Tuesday that the decision was made to give Poock the opportunity to recover as soon as possible from the procedure. Claeys says Poock’s lingering injury isn’t “doing anybody any good.” He didn’t say when Poock would have the surgery. Nick Rallis has replaced Poock in the lineup in Minnesota’s base defense.

Minnesota plays at No. 21 Nebraska on Saturday. Rallis must sit out the first half of that game after being ejected for targeting last week against Purdue.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Republicans have won a majority in the Iowa Senate, giving the GOP control of both legislative chambers and the governor’s office. The 100-member House and 50-member Senate haven’t been controlled by the same party since the 2008 and 2009 sessions, when Democrats held majorities in both chambers.

ROCKWELL CITY, Iowa (AP) — At least 1,000 law enforcement officers and much of the small Iowa community of Rockwell City are gathering to mourn the death of 24-year-old police officer Justin Martin. The rookie officer died nearly a week after he and another officer were gunned down in their patrol cars in the Des Moines area. An Urbandale man is charged with first-degree murder in the Nov. 2 killings.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota regulators are proposing a fine of at least $15,000 against the company building the four-state Dakota Access pipeline. The Public Service Commission said Monday in a complaint that a subsidiary of Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners didn’t get regulators’ approval to proceed with construction after artifacts were found last month. The company diverted construction and said in a statement that the company doesn’t think it did anything wrong and is working with the PSC.

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Black Hawk County officials will pay $30,000 to a man who scuffled with an off-duty sheriff’s deputy after a traffic dispute. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports the Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to pay the money and settle a case filed by Edward Felts. He claimed deputy Richard Hoffman beat him during a 2015 incident, which happened after the men nearly crashed while driving. The men exited their vehicles, and after Felts head-butted Hoffman, the deputy took Felts to the ground.

Audubon Volleyball ready for the challenge at State

Sports

November 8th, 2016 by admin

The Audubon Wheelers were able to rally back from a 2 set deficit in a Regional Final with Grand View Christian to make it to the State tournament and they hope they can start faster on the state stage.  Audubon (27-6) will face a tough challenge in the Quarterfinal round on Wednesday night in Cedar Rapids against Springville (28-7).

The Wheelers have had a week to let the accomplishment of being the first team in school history to head to the state tournament set in.  Audubon Head Coach Molly Lange said it was a great accomplishment to come back and get the win in the Regional Final.

Coach Lange said they have focused in now on performing well at the state tournament and says the Wheelers will need to play a good team game against a well balanced Orioles opponent.  Lange knows a key to winning will be to start faster than they did in the Regional Final.

Springville comes in to the match with three players over 200 kills and two more with 130+. Oriole Head Coach Claude Howard said that balance is the strength of his team.

The Orioles played some tough competition, especially to start the season, to prepare themselves for the type of teams they see in the postseason.

Will have coverage of the Wheelers and the Orioles in their Class 1A Quarterfinal round match at the US Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids.  Pre-match coverage will begin at 7:30pm and play is set to begin at 8:00pm on court #2.
