The Kennedy golf team has split vision these days.
The Cougars are keeping one eye on the courses they keep conquering and one eye on the calendar.
The Cougars captured another title Monday when they won the CRANDIC championship in the searing heat at the Gardner Golf Course, but they can't help thinking about the district meet Oct. 8 and the state meet Oct. 11-12.
Kennedy High School and Iowa City West will hold a special "Gold Out" this Friday in connection with their football game at Iowa City West to help fight childhood cancer.
Starting at 4:30 p.m. Friday, participants will run from the UI Children's Hospital pediatric oncology unit to West High School with a special football. They are scheduled to arrive at the school at 5:15 p.m.
There will be a lasagna dinner in the Iowa City West cafeteria from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for participants and the general public from both schools.
WEST DES MOINES - The Kennedy Cougars split their four matches against stiff competition at the West Des Moines Valley volleyball tournament Saturday.
Kennedy blanked Class 5A No.9 West Des Moines Valley, 2-0, in pool play. The Cougars also defeated ADM, 2-0, in pool play and lost to Class 5A No.4 Dowling, 2-1.
Kennedy lost to Class 5A No.5 Ankeny in the semifinals, 2-1.
Cedar Rapids Kennedy junior running back Terrence Hall saw daylight and led the Cougars to a 28-24 win over Cedar Rapids Prairie Friday at John Wall Memorial Field.
Hall led a powerful Kennedy rushing attack with 99 yards on 13 carries. Miles Moa added 91 yards and Logan Wedo 79 yards as the Cougars ground it out, especially when it mattered the most, to improve to 2-0.
"We weren't going to let them stop our run game," Hall said. "We were going to pound it down their throat. That's what we do. That's what we work on in practice. It pays off."
Davis Sutton fired an even-par 36 at Ellis Park Thursday to claim medalist honors and lead Kennedy to the top finish in a Mississippi Valley Conference triangular meet.
Ross Grekoff shot a 1-over 37 and Conner Koberg notched a 2-over 38 as Kennedy golfers finished 1-2-3 in the standings. Matt Bauman of Cedar Falls tied for third with a 38.
Matt Junge, Ben Sagers and Kellen Gray all shot 39 for Xavier.
Brooke Timmerman, a talented freshman, drives 20 miles every day from Atkins to Cedar Rapids so she can attend Kennedy High School and swim for the Cougars.
Jennifer Jenks, another freshman, has been known as "Stephanie's Little Sister" much of her life, but she's another talented member of the family and a top-notch swimmer for the Linn-Mar Lions.
The two ninth graders grabbed the headlines Tuesday night as Kennedy trimmed Linn-Mar, 110-76, in a Mississippi Valley Conference meet at the Kennedy pool.
Timmerman lives in the Benton Community school district, but the Bobcats do not have a swimming team. She has a school driver's permit and happily commutes to northeast Cedar Rapids every day, although she's still getting accustomed to a bigger school.
"It's scary," she said. "There are so many people and it's hard to get through the halls. I avoid crowds of people and take the back route."
Timmerman took the front route in the pool Tuesday and captured the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke. She also swam on the triumphant 200 medley relay.

IOWA CITY — The Cedar Rapids Kennedy volleyball team got off to a good start Tuesday night, but ended up dropping a Mississippi Valley Conference match to Iowa City High 22-25, 25-18, 25-13, 25-18.
Brinley Milbrath collected 13 kills and four blocks for the Cougars. Anna Fluent finished with 36 assists and four kills.
Erin Coker contributed eight kills and eight digs. Madi Meier went 15-for-16 on serves (with two aces) and had 13 digs.
Freshman Paige Franck served for six straight points in the first game.
Last Updated on Tuesday, 03 September 2013 23:07Kennedy quarterback Derek Jacobus made up for lost time Friday night, leading the Cougars to a 14-10 victory over Cedar Rapids Washington at Kingston Stadium.
It was the first season-opening win for Kennedy since 2008, and it was engineered by a player who missed the entire 2012 campaign.
Jacobus sat out last fall with a shoulder injury he suffered during the pre-season while working as a receiver.
It took the Kennedy boys golfers all of one day to get back in the win column.
The Cougars scored a 10-stroke win Thursday in a Mississippi Valley Conference quadrangular hosted by Linn-Mar at Hunters Ridge.
Kennedy finished fourth Wednesday at the Johnston Invitational in Granger.
Davis Sutton was medalist for the Cougars with a 36, one shot ahead of teammates Conner Koberg and Seth Nutt.
Kennedy won its first two matches, but the Cougars did not have enough firepower to overcome top-ranked Bettendorf in the MVC/MAC Challenge volleyball meet Thursday at Kennedy.
Bettendorf went unbeaten in its three matches. Kennedy and Pleasant Valley were 2-1, Prairie and Iowa City West 1-2, and North Scott 0-3.
Kennedy beat North Scott and Pleasant Valley in two straight sets before bowing to Bettendorf by a 2-0 count.
