- Proud father-son moment right after Buffalo called Spencer Brown. I sat next to Kurt for four hours as he patiently logged all the picks and saw his son rise among available offensive tackles. The payoff was sweet.
- Today is Bud Legg's final day in the @IHSAA office. Bud has been serving Iowa students for more than 50 years as a teacher, counselor, coach, school administrator, game official, and finally, as IHSAA Information Director since 2001. A tremendous help to folks like us. Congrats!
- Spencer Brown in Lenox with family, friends and several UNI teammates waiting to hear his name called tonight.
- The tone of @IAGovernor Kim Reynolds address last night was that our public schools are filled with vile materials poisoning the minds of our children. I’m in the middle school every day and all I see are selfless educators helping Creston kids on their journey to future success.
- He's a free agent Cardinal! They always showed the most interest in Collin Bevins and just made the offer.
- I wish I could show @BillTaylor_SWCC the turnout for his funeral. Something tells me he'd have a wisecrack about there being a better use of a basketball court. Estimates above 1,300.
- Clearly offensive fowl, player control.
- We lost one of Creston's (and Diagonal's) all-time greats tonight. @BillTaylor_SWCC's influence on so many of us will never be forgotten. This photo I took at one of Jenna's games is how I remember him (red jacket), always there for his wonderful family. RIP good friend.
- how it started 1980.... how it ended 2020. First day hired at Atlantic News Telegraph; final day in Creston News Advertiser newsroom.
- Took a deep breath in the parking lot and walked in to sign the final papers and turn over the key that I used nearly 30,000 times. Definitely makes it sink in. I'm now a former journalist. And, very proud to have been a part of that brotherhood.
- Some know him as Dr. Shoe or “Magic,” but around southwest Iowa he’s the umpire or ref you’ve seen for generations. Honored to have the opportunity to tell the story of the late Steve McCann in Friday’s News Advertiser as a freelance contributor. Great guy, and great official.
- A big reason why I retired. No coverage of sectional wrestling or basketball this weekend. Instead, meeting our first granddaughter, Willow Wren Peterson, born to Keith and Kelsey on Tuesday. She's the first girl in our Peterson family, after two sons and two grandsons. #cutie
