Linn-Mar - Boys Basketball
DUBUQUE – It was a classic playoff role reversal, the long-hunted becoming the giant hunter.
The Linn-Mar Lions, who punched numerous state tickets by hurdling underdog Dubuque Senior teams in past substate battles, found themselves on Tuesday night looking up and up against the towering and Class 4A top-ranked Rams on Dubuque soil.
The Lions weren't giving an inch while putting white-knuckle fear of playoff eviction in the eyes of Rams fans looking for their team's third consecutive state tournament berth.
Completely neutralizing Senior's vaunted post game for much of a thrilling Class 4A Substate 3 final, Linn-Mar pushed the Rams to the brink before Rams all-state guard Kyle Haber took over late and elevated No. 1 Senior to a breathless 52-47 triumph before a standing-room-only crowd of 2,200 at Hempstead High's Moody Gym.

Linn-Mar - Boys Basketball
Not always, but sometimes, practice does make perfect.
Linn-Mar junior Trevor Noble and sophomore Jordan Brandt have been subs all year, coming off the bench to relieve the starters.
But both were in the game Friday night when Dubuque Hempstead was making a late surge in the Class 4A substate semifinal in the Lions' gym.
And given the chance to make a difference, they delivered when it counted.
