DES MOINES – Treynor withstood a furious comeback attempt from Aplington-Parkersburg to advance back to the Class 2A championship, winning Wednesday night’s semifinal at Wells Fargo Arena, 75-66. The 2015 champs poured in 50 points in the second and third quarters, using the final frame to hold on for the third title game berth in program history.
Aplington-Parkersburg (24-2) led 15-10 after the first quarter, but was scorched by the Cardinals’ hot outside shooting. Junior Carter Cuvelier led the rally with 26 second-half points, getting the Falcons as close as three points in the final three minutes. Cuvelier finished with a game-high 30 points.
Treynor had three scorers in double-digits on a night when it hit a dozen 3-pointers, including six in the second quarter alone. Dillon Faubel led the charge with 21 points, and Jack Stogdill added 20 of his own. Luke Clausen paced the Cardinals (26-0) on the glass and ended with 14 points and eight rebounds.
Treynor had appeared in five semifinals before going all the way to the top in 2015 with coach Scott Rucker. His squad is back and balanced again, and will meet the winner of Cascade vs. Sheldon in Wednesday night’s last matchup. The 2A title game is set for a 3:45 p.m. tipoff on Friday.
Aplington-Parkersburg will appear in the consolation game for the third time in program history on Thursday at 12:15 p.m.
Council Bluffs Police say no injuries were reported, but one person was arrested, following an accident that happened today (Thursday) at around 5:40-a.m. Officers were dispatched to Big Lake Park for a vehicle in the lake. Upon arrival officers made contact with 58-year old Frank Spring, of Council Bluffs. Spring stated he looked away from the road and lost control of his 2008 Chevy Malibu. He was transported to the Pottawattamie County Jail and processed on traffic charges.
A Union County woman has promised to appear in court, on a charge of Criminal Mischief in the 5th Degree. Creston Police say 57-year old Pam Claiser, of Creston, was cited for the offense Saturday night. She was released at the scene on a citation, and on the promise to appear.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A young woman who tried to claim $50,000 she won from an Iowa scratch-off lottery ticket has been charged with fraud: She was too young to buy the ticket. The Daily Nonpareil reports that Katelyn Dolezal, of Macedonia, is charged with lottery fraud. Court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for her.
Iowa law requires players to be 21 or older. Authorities say she was 19 when she bought the winning ticket Nov. 18. A relative went to the Iowa Lottery office in Council Bluffs to claim the prize for Dolezal, and a check was issued in the relative’s name. They tried to cash the $35,000 check — $15,000 in taxes had been withheld — but a bank placed a hold on it.
Police say Dolezal later called the lottery office for help because the relative wasn’t going to share the money with Dolezal.
