No. 5 J-Hawks raise mark to 10-0

The fifth-ranked Jefferson J-Hawks swept a Mississippi Valley Conference doubleheader from Cedar Falls Thursday, 7-6 and 14-4, to remain undefeated for the season.

Jefferson raised its marks to 10-0 overall and 8-0 in the MVC with the clean sweep at home.

Maddie Hansen socked a three-run homer for Jefferson in the first game. Avery Guy went 4-for-5 and Erin Kuba was 3-for-4. Alyssa Olson was the winning pitcher.

Sydney Briney and Guy went 3-for-4 in the second game for the J-Hawks. Tori Brandon, Emily Walton and Hannah Towns had two hits. Brandon drove in two runs. Taylor Holub was the winning pitcher.

No.1 Lions top J-Hawks in regional

With a season-ending loss to Linn-Mar Wednesday night, Jefferson soccer coach Richard Appleby said goal keeper Maddy Webber needs some time off.

“She’s pretty beat up,” said the first-year J-Hawk mentor, who spent the previous five years as a Linn-Mar assistant. “She has a lot of aches and pains. It’s going to take her a month or two just to heal.

"I wish we could have given her a little more defense this year.”

The young and inexperienced Jefferson squad finished 3-15 by losing to the Lions, 4-1, in a regional semifinal at Linn-Mar Stadium.

J-Hawks beaten by Davenport Central

Davenport Central hit two home runs Wednesday night and defeated the Jefferson J-Hawks, 11-6, in a prep baseball game at the Jefferson diamond.

Olson gives J-Hawks some muscle

The mouthful of braces have come out. The wispy thin arms from last year are now guns with bulging biceps.

What looked then to be a frail frame is now solidly broad-shouldered.

Jefferson junior softball pitcher Alyssa Olson, who came out of nowhere a year ago to make first-team all-state, is all grown up.

She’s much more muscular. And while once it was mostly the motion of her rising fastball that fooled hitters, she’s added momentum to blow the ball past batters.

The crafty right-hander raised her record to 4-0 Tuesday night as the Class 5A fifth-ranked J-Hawks (7-0) scored twice in the sixth inning and topped ninth-ranked Prairie (4-1) at Larry Niemeyer Field, 3-1.

The second game of the scheduled doubleheader was halted in the first inning by lightning and will be resumed Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. In case of rain, it will be reset to next Monday at 5 p.m.

Olson’s five-hit, nine-strikeout showing against the visiting Hawks was not without controversy.

Alyssa Olson wins Metro Spotlight Award

Cedar Rapids Jefferson junior Alyssa Olson is the winner of the Metro Spotlight Award for high school girls this week, the Metro Sports Report announced Sunday.

Olson is an all-state pitcher for the Jefferson softball team, which is ranked No.5 in Class 5A this season. She pitched a one-hitter with 19 strikeouts in a victory over Waterloo West last week for the J-Hawks, who are off to a 6-0 start.

Olson has a 3-0 record and 0.31 ERA, with 39 strikeouts in 22.1 innings. She has allowed only one earned run and six hits.

Olson compiled a 21-4 record and 1.03 ERA last year when Jefferson finished fifth at the Class 5A state tournament. She struck out 237 batters in 163.1 innings.
