Grant Loeffelbein, Josh Magnussen and Kyle Wheeler smacked two hits each in a 6-2 Glenwood baseball victory over Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson on Saturday.

The Rams (21-8 overall, 12-5 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference) have won nine straight since a June 29 7-6 loss to Clarinda.

Matt Schulz (2-2) came on in relief of Magnussen, who started on the hill, to pitch three innings of scoreless relief and earn the win. Taylor Kaufman came on in the seventh to to earn the save.

Magnussen drove in two runs. Loeffelbein doubled, walked once and stole two bases.

A special meeting of the Glenwood City Council was cancelled last Thursday after the city received the resignation of police officer Derek Baier.

Baier had been a patrolman on the Glenwood Police force since September 2008.

Glenwood cross country coach Todd Peverill called his shot earlier in the week.

“It'll come down to us and Kuemper,” he said.

And the coach was right – the Hawkeye 10 Conference Boys Cross Country title did come down to his Class 3A No. 5 ranked Rams and the Knights. But even Peverill couldn't have predicted his team would win by the margin it did.

TABOR - The Fremont-Mills football team turned the ball over four times and could muster just 47 yards of total offense in a 48-0 loss to Treynor in Class A, District 8 football Friday.

“We talk all the time, if we don't turn the ball over we have a chance to win ball games. It's been our M.O. all season, we've turned it over way too many times,” said Fremont-Mills coach Jeremy Christensen.

Treynor (7-1 overall, 5-1 in the district) turned two of the Knights' four turnovers into first-half touchdowns and allowed just nine yards rushing on 22 carries.
