Chiefs GM Dorsey thinks LB Houston will play this season

Sports

April 23rd, 2016 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs general manager John Dorsey expects Pro Bowl pass rusher Justin Houston to play this season, even though surgery to repair his torn ACL could take up to 12 months of recovery time. Dorsey made the prediction during a news conference Friday to discuss the NFL draft.

Houston hurt his left knee during a game against Buffalo midway through last season, and at the time it was thought to be a hyperextension. He returned to play sparingly in the playoffs, and an arthroscopic procedure after the season revealed his ligament was not functioning properly.

Houston had surgery to repair the ACL in February, and Dorsey said that he’s “ahead of schedule” in his recovery. But he declined to say when Houston will be able to play next season.

Myers has 3 hits, 3 RBIs lead Padres to 4-1 win vs Cardinals

Sports

April 23rd, 2016 by Ric Hanson

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Wil Myers had a solo homer among his three hits and drove in three runs, and Andrew Cashner threw six strong innings to pitch the San Diego Padres to a 4-1 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. The Padres have won four of six games. Myers homer to right-center off Adam Wainwright with one out in the first was estimated at 418 feet.

Myers hit a sacrifice fly in the third to score Cashner (1-1), who beat out a leadoff bunt single and advanced to third on Jon Jay’s single to right. Myers’ third hit was an RBI double in the seventh. Cashner’s only mistake was allowing Randal Grichuk’s homer to left-center with two outs in the fourth, his third. He allowed one run and three hits while striking out four and walking one.

Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his third save.

Hawkeyes close out spring drills today

Sports

April 23rd, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa football team closes out spring drills this (Saturday) afternoon, with an open practice in Kinnick Stadium. The final practice will feature the offense versus the defense, with a unique scoring system that is similar to what has been used the past two seasons, allowing both the offense and defense to score points based on performance. Iowa offensive coordinator Greg Davis would like to see a turnover free effort from his unit but he is not concerned with style points.

Davis says they are more concerned about seeing certain players in certain situations. He says there’s things they’d like to get on tape that maybe don’t always fit the best thing if a team were playing Iowa in a ball game, but they need to see those things.

Iowa defensive coordinator Phil Parker says he has been more concerned about individual improvement this spring than the depth chart. The gates at Kinnick Stadium open at noon. An autograph session with members of the Hawkeye football team will begin at 12:35 p.m. in front of the west and south stands.

Glidden woman killed in Carroll County pickup vs. bicycle accident

News

April 23rd, 2016 by Ric Hanson

A collision between a pickup and a mountain bicycle Friday evening in Carroll County has left one person dead. The Iowa State Patrol says 60-year old Joleen Marie Stork, of Glidden, died in the crash that happened in a rural area northeast of Lidderdale, at around 6:40-p.m.

Authorities say 83-year old Walter James Wenck, of Carroll, was heading west on Carroll County road E-26, just east of Sycamore Road, and failed to see the westbound Mongoose mountain bicycle Stork was riding.

Wenck’s 2005 Chevy Silverado pickup struck the bike from behind, causing Stork to be thrown from the bicycle. She landed in the north ditch and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Carroll County Coroner.
