Louisa-Muscatine claims Prairie bowling title

Sun - 18 Dec Written by Tom Fruehling

Their school is near nowhere, surrounded by bean and corn fields on the Louisa and Muscatine county line.

Town kids among the 300-or-so high school students come from burgs like Letts, Grandview and Fruitland. The closest bowling alley is 17 miles away.

But the farm boys from Louisa-Muscatine High School showed the big-school city slickers a thing or two Saturday by rolling over the field for the title in the 12-team Prairie Invitational bowling tournament at Lancer Lanes.

Prairie girls stun No.10 Linn-Mar, 63-43

Fri - 16 Dec Written by Jim Ecker

Steve Doser has been saying for several weeks that the Cedar Rapids Prairie girls basketball team will be fun to watch this season.

They certainly were Friday night.

Sophomore Madison Dellamuth popped in 25 points as Prairie stunned 10th-ranked Linn-Mar, 63-43, in a Mississippi Valley Conference game in the Prairie gym.

The Hawks jumped to a quick 13-0 lead and held the Lions scoreless for the first six minutes of the game. "We had to come in with intensity, just more than what they had," Dellamuth said after the surprisingly easy triumph. "I think we did that tonight."

It was a significant victory for Prairie, which won only four games last season. The Hawks are 5-3 overall and 4-2 in the Valley with lots of time to do even more damage.
