November 15th, 2021 by admin

The Kansas City Chiefs got the offense back on track Sunday Night in Las Vegas and rolled to a 41-14 win over the Raiders. Patrick Mahomes threw for 406 yards and 5 touchdowns as the Chiefs took sole possession of the lead in the AFC West.

Mahomes completed three short touchdown passes, two to Tyreek Hill in the first half, before showing off a couple of big throws. Early in the fourth quarter after the Chiefs had converted a fake punt to keep the drive alive, Mahomes scrambled away from pressure and heaved one 38-yards to the end zone across the field to running back Darrel Williams who made a spectacular catch. Mahomes later hit Byron Pringle for a 22-yard score.

The Chiefs improved to 6-4 on the season and will now prep for a home game against the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday at 3:25 p.m. We’ll have coverage on KJAN with pregame starting at 2:00 p.m.

Mason City school board debates ending use of ‘Mohawks’ as mascot name

News

November 15th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The Mason City School Board will consider tonight (Monday) whether to stop using “Mohawks” as the name of the district’s mascot. The issue of the school’s nickname is tied into logo and branding discussions that have been previously tabled by the board. The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe has called for the district to end the use of the name and associated imagery. Superintendent Dave Versteeg in a memo to the board recommends that the board direct the administration to start the transition from the use of the Mohawk name and mascot, including Native American images, symbols and likenesses to a new mascot immediately and for the administration to present at the January 17th school board meeting a timeline to complete the transition from the Mohawk name and a plan to adopt a new mascot as of July 1st of 2022.

Versteeg also recommends that no new use of Mohawk will be used immediately and current uses will be phased out or replaced. The district would immediately stop the use of Mohawks to introduce teams at athletic events with teams being introduced just as Mason City.
