Hawks' double-trouble duo doom Wash

Thu - 11 Oct Written by Jim Ecker

Prairie Coach Mike Morrissey isn't sure where they keep the record book at his school, but he plans to find out.

He's got a few new entries to make.

Mitch Dellamuth and Kentrel Smith enjoyed an historic night for the Hawks on Thursday as they belted Washington, 44-6, in a Mississippi Valley Conference game at Kingston Stadium.

Dellamuth intercepted four passes, which is probably a school record, and scored touchdowns on offense and defense.

Here's the topper: Smith also scored on offense and defense, making for a highly unusual -- and highly enjoyable -- double-play for Prairie.

There are two games remaining in the regular season for most football teams.

While Xavier, Marion and Prairie have already secured playoff berths, two other Metro teams have only two more games to clinch their spot.

CP can't keep this runner out of race

Wed - 10 Oct Written by Sher Jasperse

Linn-Mar cross country runner Annie Stevenson runs her own race. Always has – ever since she came bounding into Cindy and Kelly Stevenson's life on an airplane from Korea 15 years ago.

Someone had failed to notify the Stevensons that the final adoption papers had been approved so they could get ready for her arrival. “One day I got a call at work saying she was on the plane and on the way to Des Moines,” recalls her mother.

Kelly Stevenson was out of town – in pre-cell-phone days – so Cindy scrambled to track him down and get him pointed toward Des Moines in time for the arrival of their four-month-old daughter.
