The CAM Cougars girls basketball team set the tone early and never looked back in a
runaway win over Colo-Nesco in the Girls Class 1A Region 7 Final on Monday night. The Cougars opened the game with a 16-0 run and led 21-5 by the end of the first quarter. The Cougars pushed that lead to 39-15 by the end of the first half.
The second half was a little shaky from time to time but CAM still held a more than comfortable lead the rest of the way. The lead got above the 35 point mark late in the third quarter and the rest of the game melted away in a hurry.
The Cougars hit 10 threes on the night in a great all around performance. Paige McAfee dropped in 5 threes and finished with 21 points, Madison Gettler dropped in 13 on the night. The Cougars advance to the Girls State Basketball Tournament for the first time since 1997 and just the second time as CAM school district. The Cougars improved to 21-2 on the season.
Colo-Nesco was led by 13 points form junior Rylee Purvis. The Royals end their season with a record of 19-4.
The Class 1A State pairings were released late Monday night and the Cougars drew the 6th seed and will face 3rd seeded Montezuma at 6:45pm on Wednesday the 27th. We’ll have coverage starting at 5:45pm that evening.
Interviews with CAM players Madison Gettler, Sammi Jahde, and Macy Ticknor along with Head Coach Joe Wollum can be heard below.

The Atlantic boys basketball team will open up the postseason tonight against the Denison-Schleswig Monarchs. That game is being played as the first of a doubleheader in Glenwood tonight at 6:30pm. Glenwood and Creston will follow in the second game at 8:00pm.
The two teams just met on Thursday night to end the regular season with Denison-Schleswig coming out on top 66-51. The Monarchs won the first meeting of the season as well back on January 4th 64-50. Atlantic Head Coach Jeff Ebling said the Trojans showed some good things on Thursday and he knows they will be ready to go tonight.
Atlantic (9-11) is led by Chase Mullenix averaging 17.2 points per game and Tyler Moen who has averaged 14 points per outing.
Denison-Schleswig (16-4) has been led by a standout junior class. Goanar Biliew leads the way with 17.9 points per game and Charlie Wiebers has dropped in 16.7 points per outing.
Coach Ebling said limiting the Monarchs to one attempt per possession will be key.
We’ll have coverage of the first half of the game tonight followed by updates throughout the second half during the CAM Regional Final. Jim Field will have the call from Glenwood.

The Atlantic City Council, Wednesday evening, will act on a Resolution “Establishing procedures for Collection, Interest and Penalties,” for delinquent Storm Water Utility Bills. City Administrator John Lund reports the City’s Personnel and Finance Committee met January 23rd and reviewed a recommendation by the Finance and Administration Department to establish an administrative fee for delinquent storm water bills. In order to encourage utility customers to pay their bills, the City (if the resolution is approved), would add a penalty for the issuance of correspondence stating the exact amount a property owner owes if the bill is not paid after six-months of non-payment. The fee amounts to $25 per parcel. Late payment penalties would not be changed, and remain at 15-percent per month.
Lund says by the City’s estimate, nearly 25-percent of all stormwater bills are in such a state of delinquency, that they are rolled over into property taxes. Most bills are $17.10. The City assume the bills are being thrown into the garbage and/or the property owner is being “recalcitrant” (purposefully uncooperative). The policy of charging a fee for correspondence on overdue Storm Water Utility Bills was unanimously recommended by the Personnel and Finance Committee.
In other business, the Atlantic City Council will act on setting the date for a Public Hearing as March 6, 2019, to adopt the Proposed FY 2020 Ten-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and a Resolution adopting the Preliminary FY 2020 Budget, as well as setting the date for a Public Hearing on the Budget as March 6, 2019. The draft FY2019 budget was submitted to the Council and media prior to the Feb. 6th Council meeting. At that time, the proposed budget for FY 2020 was $16,520,747, which was a decrease of $129,388 (-.78%), from the FY 2019 Revised estimate of $16,650,135.
Lund says a few changes have been made to the budget since that meeting:
The estimated Total Tax Levy under the revised budget of $16-million 135-thousand 155-dollars ($16,135,155.00), amounts to $16.86 per thousand dollars valuation on regular property, and $3.00 per thousand on agricultural land. The City must approve the preliminary budget and set the date for a public hearing, in order to allow the public to examine the budget and provide their feedback to the Council. The final budget must be submitted to the State by March 15, 2019. And, the Atlantic City Council, Wednesday, is expected to recognize Tommy Gaines for his 20-years of service to the Atlantic Street Department.
