Free COVID tests again available from the federal government

News

September 29th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – With cases of COVID-19 rising again, the federal government has re-started its program of offering Americans free at-home testing kits. A health official says Iowans should double-check the expiration date on any older kits they have before throwing them out — and before using them. Brian Benson, executive director of UnityPoint Health’s Pharmacy Department, says the solution you mix with the swab or the indicator panel could go bad over time. “You might get a false positive, meaning, it could indicate that you have COVID when you don’t, or you could get a false negative where it would say you don’t have COVID and you do,” Benson says, “so the accuracy could be suspect.”

The feds are now offering up to four at-home rapid tests to each household that requests them, though the tests do expire after a number of months. Benson says if you’re not sure how old your COVID test might be, don’t use it. “If there’s a question on the test and you can’t find any data, and it’s been sitting in your closet for a while or your cupboard for a while,” Benson says, “it’s probably best to, when in doubt, throw it out and get a brand new one and use that.”

The Food and Drug Administration’s website (fda.gov) has a section that indicates whether expiration dates on various tests have been extended. Order the free tests at: COVIDTests.gov.

Shenandoah Mustangs football team looks to bounce back after shutout loss

Sports

September 29th, 2023 by admin

The Shenandoah Mustangs and head coach Ty Ratliff were feeling good about how the season was going well as the Mustangs had won back-to-back games by a total score 98-14. But after last Friday night’s loss to Underwood 49-0 it knocked the Mustangs down to reality. Coach Ratliff said this is one that got away early and quickly from his Mustangs squad, but one his team can learn and grow from.

The Mustangs had lots of missed tackles a week ago that helped Underwood have some big explosive plays and Coach Ratliff knows the defense has to make routine plays tonight for his team to get back into the win column.

Coach Ratliff knows in a even matchup like his Mustangs have tonight on the road at Red Oak, which ever defense makes a couple splash plays will put themselves in the best position to win.

For the Mustangs to bounce back after a shutout loss Coach Ratliff said it all comes down to one main component.

Shenandoah will kickoff at 7:00pm Friday night as the Mustangs are on the road to take on the 2-3 Red Oak Tigers. Listen to the full interview with Coach Ratliff below.

September 29th, 2023 by Asa Lucas

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa track and field welcomes 19 student-athletes to the men’s program as part of the 2023 recruiting class, Director of Iowa Track and Field Joey Woody announced Thursday.

“I’m extremely excited about the 2023 men’s track and field and cross country recruiting class,” Woody said. “My staff did a tremendous job recruiting the best talent from Iowa and around the world to find the right athletes who will be immediate contributors to our program. Our recruiting class includes athletes who will cover all event areas for our men’s program. We graduated many Big Ten medalists, NCAA qualifiers and All-Americans, but I feel very confident in these newcomers,” Woody added. “They have the elite talent and ability to fill many of those holes to keep our program at the top of the Big Ten and NCAA. I’m very impressed with how our incoming freshman and transfers have already shown their maturity, hard work ethic, and commitment to winning team championships.”

Prat’s Late-Game Goal Lifts ISU over Houston

Sports

September 29th, 2023 by admin

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State (4-7-1, 1-3 Big 12) earned its first Big 12 victory of the season on Thursday night, as a game-winning-goal from Salomé Prat in the 86th minute lifted the Cyclones over Houston (6-5-1, 0-4 Big 12) in the two schools’ first-ever meeting.

Thursday’s action started slow, as the two teams combined for just one shot in the first 20 minutes of action. After both squads settled in, Iowa State found itself being the aggressor in the latter part of the first half.

The Cyclones outshot Houston 5-2 in the first stanza and drew six corner kicks to UH’s one but were unable to convert chances into points, as each team would enter the break scoreless.

Houston Came out of halftime firing, as Aryanna Jimison rifled a shot from way downtown that just missed the net but set the offensive tone for the Cougars.

A few minutes later, Jimison converted on a deep shot off a free kick, squeaking one past Avery Gillahan to put the Cougars up 1-0. Houston would be the more aggressive side in the second half, outshooting the Cyclones 9-6 and earning a 5-0 corner kick advantage.

Though Houston had the statistical advantage, Iowa State converted where it mattered. The Cyclones chipped away at the Houston backline, eventually breaking through on a free kick in the 72nd minute. Mira Emma pooched a ball into the box to Lauren Hernandez, who fed it to Olvia Edwards for the game-tying goal.

Edwards picked up her first goal of the season while Hernandez notched her first assist and Emma tallied her third assist.

Iowa State’s late-game mentality shone through in the final ten minutes as a few chances at the net finally paid off in the 86th minute. After handling a Houston run, Hanna Reid launched a ball downfield, hitting Prat in stride, who snuck one past the Houston keeper to give the Cyclones the advantage.

Prat recorded her third career game-winning goal as the Cyclones earned three points in the Big 12 standings.

Fannon’s Thoughts 

“We’ve played really well for so long, and it’s been difficult to be in moments where we know we should have won the game, and we found ways not to. I was confident we weren’t going to do that tonight, even when we went down one-nil in a really crazy way. The fight and the spirit and the dedication and the ability to be in a game as tight as this and to come back and win it shows a really incredible development in our team.”

Goals 

Iowa State: Olivia Edwards (1) – 72’, Salomé Prat (3) – 86’

Houston: Aryanna Jimison (2) – 50’

Assists

Iowa State: Lauren Hernandez (1), Mira Emma (3), Hanna Reid (1)

Houston: Cordelia Cross (1)

 

Up Next 

Iowa State will be back in action on Monday, October 2, when it hosts sixth-ranked BYU. The Cyclones and Cougars will meet for the first time ever, and BYU will be the second ranked program to grace the Cyclone Soccer Complex this season. Monday’s match is set to start at 6 p.m. and will be streamed on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.
