Coach Jahnke Says:
After starting the match off well we lost the momentum and were not able to gain it back. Our serve receive game was not where it needed to be tonight and as a result our offense was never able to get going.   I thought we played very tentative and tight as we faced our first home crowd of the season. I think it also showed that Clarinda has 7 matches under their belt to our 1 match. Clarinda is a good team who used the very tactics against us that we attempt to deploy on our opponents. The positives are that we learned where our weak points are. We will learn and grow from this.

Missouri River to return to normal flow in Oct.

News

September 6th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Army Corps of Engineers predicts the Missouri River will return to normal levels in Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri sometime in October, and put an end to flooding that began in June.

The Corps’ Jody Farhat said Tuesday the plan to gradually reduce the amount of water released into the river has been going well so far.

The Corps already cut the amount released from Gavins Point Dam in South Dakota from 160,000 to 90,000 cubic feet per second. Officials will wait until Sept. 16 to resume reductions, so there’s time to check levees and make sure they’re stable.

The Corps estimates that 37.5 million acre feet of water flowed down the Missouri River from May to August. That’s significantly more than the normal runoff of 24.8 million acre feet.

Injuries, Age, Inexperience Abound for KC Offense

Sports

September 6th, 2011 by Jim Field

     KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel is banged up. Tight end Tony Moeaki is done for the year, and nobody knows when wide receiver Jonathan Baldwin will be back from a thumb injury.  Yet Kansas City somehow believes its offense is even better than last year, when it featured the most potent rushing attack in the NFL. Even with an offensive line that might be considered at turns either old, inexperienced and lacking in depth.  The Chiefs only managed four touchdowns all of preseason, but
running back Thomas Jones says that shouldn’t matter. He believes that scoring punch will return when the Chiefs hit the field for real on Sunday in their season opener against the Buffalo Bills.

Iowa Shows Signs of Progress With ISU Up Next

Sports

September 6th, 2011 by Jim Field

     IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa’s coaching staff spent eight months wondering what the rebuilt Hawkeyes would look like.  Last week’s 34-7 win over Tennessee Tech didn’t shed a ton of light on Iowa’s prospects for 2011, thanks to terrible conditions and an overmatched opponent.  That should change this weekend, when the Hawkeyes play at rival Iowa State. Iowa (1-0) has won three straight over the Cyclones (1-0), but coach Kirk Ferentz is still just 6-6 against Iowa State in his 12 years in Iowa City.  Iowa State opened the year with a 20-19 win over Northern Iowa.
