Robertson ejected in Linn-Mar loss

The Linn-Mar boys are trying out a new swing offense this year, one that calls for passing the ball around more.

Not having Marcus Paige running the show for the first time in four years changes things a lot.

The system, however, does not call for the head coach to be kicked out of the game.

Swimmers enjoy unusual J-Hawk Relays

Dylan Casey of Kennedy swam 100 yards Saturday with his eye goggles around his nose, but was able to laugh about it later.

For one thing, the Cougars set a record in the 300-yard backstroke relay with Casey swimming the anchor leg. And for another, the annual J-Hawk Relays are a fun meet with a variety of different events that you don't see anywhere else.

"It's a fun event to come to," said Casey. "It's a lot less stress. You can enjoy yourself while you're swimming. If you drop times, it's great. It you don't, it's no big deal."

Jacobs helps Kirkwood women slay Moberly

Kianna "Kiki" Jacobs is not insulted when you say she plays basketball like a guy.

"That's a compliment towards me," she said.

She's tough, physical, aggressive and doesn't mind contact under the basket.

Jacobs displayed all her skills Saturday afternoon as Kirkwood handed 17th-ranked Moberly (Mo.) its first loss of the season, 63-44, on the final day of the Kirkwood Classic.

Sanchez has rough home debut with Warriors

Adam Sanchez lost by 27 points and was slapped with a technical foul in his first home game as the new boys basketball coach at Cedar Rapids Washington Saturday night.

He hopes things get better from here.

The Warriors had trouble scoring and lost to North Scott, 57-30, in a non-conference affair that extended Washington's losing streak to 24 straight games.
