Woolfolk helps Eagles rip Joliet

Sat - 09 Nov Written by Don Taylor

It was the Danielle Woolfolk show at the Clarion-Kirkwood Classic at Kirkwood Friday night.

The diminutive point guard scored 18 points, dealt four assists and collected four steals for a complete performance. She ran the offense and spearheaded the Eagles' swarming full-court trapping press.

“I think this is really great,” said Woolfolk, who stands 5-foot-3. “I am blessed to get to work with these girls. I am usually the littlest player on the court, but it’s my heart that takes me where I want to go.”

RoughRiders skate past Des Moines

Sat - 09 Nov Written by Ryan Suchomel

The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders frustrated the Des Moines Buccaneers into bad shots and silly mistakes Friday night in a 3-1 victory before 2,242 fans in The Stable.

With the win the RoughRiders (8-2-1) kept pace in the East Division, four points back of Division-leading Team USA and one point behind Dubuque.

The defense was nearly flawless for Cedar Rapids. Goalie Danny Tirone had 23 saves on 24 shots. And that on a night when the RoughRiders had to survive 29 penalty-killing minutes.

Saints vs. Cougars: Tale of 2 tailbacks

Thu - 07 Nov Written by Jim Ecker

A 5-foot-9 tailback who wears No.25 and attends a high school that borders 42nd Street NE could have a profound effect on the Class 4A playoffs Friday night.

The question is: Which one?

Miles Moa has rushed for 1,436 yards for the Kennedy Cougars this season, the sixth-most in Class 4A, and galloped for a school-record 300 yards a few weeks ago.

Brendan Miller has scooted for 1,323 yards for the Xavier Saints, the eighth-most in Class 4A, and set a school record with 268 yards this year.

They'll clash at 7 p.m. Friday at Saints Field in the 4A quarterfinals.
