The Jefferson J-Hawks used a balanced attack to sweep Washington, 25-15, 25-23, 25-21, in a Mississippi Valley Conference volleyball match at Jefferson Tuesday night.

Connor Neighbors will be one of the youngest golfers at the state tournament this weekend at Elmcrest Country Club, but that's perfectly OK with him.
The freshman from Cedar Rapids Washington is accustomed to being one of the youngest kids on the course.
"I probably started when I was 3," the soft-spoken ninth grader said Tuesday, "and I probably took it seriously when I was about 8. I started playing in tournaments at that age.
"It took me awhile to get going," he said, "but I enjoy it a lot now."
Neighbors fired a 2-over-par 73 and led Washington to the district title Tuesday at the Finkbine Golf Course in Iowa City. The next step for Neighbors and the Warriors will be the state tournament on their "home" course at Elmcrest on Friday and Saturday.
Five of the six golfers on the Washington team -- including Neighbors -- are members of Elmcrest and know all the nooks and crannies.
"That's my home course. I play there a lot," Neighbors said. "It's a good course.
"I'm sure the greens are going to be very fast. They will be really tough. It's not super-long, so that will be good for me because I'm not a huge hitter."
