RUNNELLS - The Jefferson J-Hawks finished with a 5-1 record at the Southeast Polk volleyball tournament in Runnells Saturday.
The J-Hawks defeated Des Moines Hoover (21-4), 21-11) and Indianola (24-22, 21-19) in pool play, but lost to Ankeny Centennial (21-12, 21-11) to finish in second place in pool competition.
Jefferson then won three straight matches in the Silver Bracket to place ninth out of 20 teams with victories over Pella (25-15, 22-25, 15-11), Indianola (25-19, 29-27) and Union (25-18, 25-20).
Alex Fernandez’s first instinct was to pick up the fumble at his feet and take off.
But the Jefferson senior defensive tackle and team leader instantly thought better of it and simply fell on the ball midway through the first quarter at Davenport North’s 43-yard line.
Two plays later, Jeff running back Tavian Rashed ran it in from four yards out for the first score of Thursday night's game at Kingston Stadium.
After that, the J-Hawks (2-1) never looked back as they built a 35-0 third-quarter lead before allowing a late touchdown by the Wildcats (0-3) from North for a 35-6 victory.
“When the ball hit the turf right in front me I wanted to run with it,” Fernandez said. “That’s what linemen want to do.
“But common sense told me to just jump on it. Good thing, too. It set us up in a good position to score.”
Cameron Stump fired a 1-over-par 37 Thursday to grab medalist honors and help the Kennedy Cougars win a Mississippi Valley Conference quadrangular meet at Ellis Park.
Kennedy and Wahlert both finished with 162 strokes, but the Cougars were declared the winner on a tiebreaker.
Nile Happel of Jefferson was the runner-up with a 38.
Tysen VanDraska was sorely disappointed when he finished seventh at the Class 4A state cross country meet last fall.
"I kind of choked a little bit," he claimed Thursday.
He does not plan to let it happen again.
VanDraska captured top honors and led Cedar Rapids Prairie to the team championship Thursday at the annual Cedar Rapids Invitational at Noelridge Park.
VanDraska won the 5K outing in 16 minutes, 7.68 seconds, edging Brandon Cooley of Bettendorf by 1.5 seconds in a tight race throughout. Prairie ran away with the team championship with 31 points with Jake Moore finishing fourth, Chris Oehlert sixth and Cam Steffens seventh.
VanDraska may have been a little harsh on himself by claiming he "choked a little bit" at the state meet, but he's always set high standards for himself as a distance runner.
WATERLOO - Jaylee Chung and Josie Thompson combined to help the Jefferson swimming team win six events Tuesday night in a double-dual victory over Waterloo and Vinton-Shellsburg.
Chung captured the 50 free and 100 free. Thompson took the 200 free and 100 butterfly. They also swam on the triumphant 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay.
Waterloo West and Waterloo East have joined forces for one girls swimming team this season.
CEDAR FALLS - The Jefferson volleyball team gave fourth-ranked Cedar Falls a good battle Tuesday night before dropping a 25-21, 25-20, 17-25, 25-14 verdict in a Mississippi Valley Conference match in Cedar Falls.
Maddie Slagle finished with 16 kills and 11 digs for the J-Hawks. Maddy Baxter collected 31 assists.
Kristen Naber contributed six kills and four blocks. Kaylee Donner had 15 digs. Raya George had eight kills.
If Jordan Bohannon ever gets tired of playing basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes, he might be able to change sports and play a few rounds for the University of Iowa golf team.
He's got a good touch on a golf course, too.
Bohannon fired a 1-under-par 71 Tuesday and finished second at the annual CRANDIC meet at Gardner Golf Course with the best competitive round of his life.
The Linn-Mar senior committed to play basketball for the Hawkeyes about two weeks ago and feels like a free man now. It translated onto the luscious green grass at Gardner.
"I was just playing good," Bohannon said. "I don't have a lot of stress after committing to Iowa.
"It was a lot of weight on my shoulders, just trying to figure out where to go for college. It kind of affected my personal life. I feel a big weight off my shoulders now."
Jared Eivins of Cedar Rapids Jefferson is the winner of the Metro Spotlight Award for high school boys this week, the Metro Sports Report announced Sunday.
Eivins a senior quarterback, rushed for three touchdowns and passed for two TDs Friday night when the J-Hawks defeated Cedar Rapids Prairie, 55-37, in a Class 4A football game at John Wall Field.
Eivins carried the ball 24 times for 102 yards and scored touchdowns from 2, 7 and 3 yards. He completed 8 of 14 passes for 97 yards with a 26-yard TD pass to Jalyn Stafford and an 18-yard strike to Brock Hunt.
