Clear Creek Amana tops Assumption, will play for IGHSAU volleyball title

CORALVILLE — Clear Creek-Amana is headed to its second Iowa high school state volleyball championship game in four years after sweeping Davenport Assumption in the Class 4A semifinals on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Xtream Arena. The 3-seed Clippers overpowered the No. 2 seed Knights from the start, winning 25-17, 25-22 and 25-12 to earn a date with No. 1 Norwalk in the 4A championship match on Thursday, Nov. 5. CCA was highly motivated after losing to Assumption, 2-1, during the Iowa City West Invite on Sept. 12. "We wanted to make sure that they didn't remember us the way that we played the last time we played them," said Clear Creek Amana coach Jackie Clubb. "We wanted to make sure we hung in there and controlled the game as much as possible. You've just got to be ready to go. They were." The Clippers outclassed Assumption in the rematch. They cruised in the first set, hung tough in the second and then dropped the hammer in the third set. CCA jumped out to a 12-3 lead in the third set, and Assumption never stood a chance. Delaney Vaske delivered the final two kills to send the Clippers to the 4A

New boundaries could send Des Moines students to farther schools

Des Moines Public Schools is moving toward a November vote on new attendance boundaries that will reshape how students advance through the district. The boundaries are part of the district's $265 million Reimagining Education plan. Once set, the new plan will replace DMPS' current feeder patterns with Northeast, Northwest and South regions , divided by the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. They will establish new student pathways from elementary and middle schools to East, Lincoln and Roosevelt high schools, convert some buildings to signature schools and allow more elementary schools to add sixth grade. The proposal redraws current attendance boundaries , which determine which schools students attend based on their home addresses. The new boundaries would organize schools into three regions, with students ultimately assigned to East High School in the Northeast, Lincoln High School in the South or Roosevelt High School in the Northwest. North and Hoover would no longer operate as traditional neighborhood high schools. Instead, they would become two of the district's nine opt-in signature schools, which will offer specialized programs in STEM, the arts, Montessori or dual language that families could apply to attend. North will focus on STEM programs, while Hoover wil will offer hands-on

Iowa City West tops Dowling at Iowa high school volleyball tournament

In a thrilling five-set match, No. 5 seed Iowa City West's first five-set match all season, the Trojans beat No. 4 seed Dowling Catholic, 3-2, in the quarterfinals of the Iowa high school volleyball state tournament on Monday, Nov. 2. It was the first state tournament win for West since 2016, nearly 10 years to the day. Sophia Austen and Cyan Blommer combined for 50 kills for the Trojans. But it wasn't all smooth sailing for West. Dowling Catholic was hitting the ball at a 68% success rate in the opening set behind Kaylie Klein, Kennedy Klein and Caroline Crane. The Maroons were forcing Iowa City West into mistakes and were able to shut down the front row attack with a 25-18 win. After Dowling Catholic's win in the opening set, Trojans went into the tunnel and knew they had to turn their performance around quickly. "We did not execute in set one," said West coach Jaedynn Evans. We were playing kind of lazy defense. We needed to pick up from our blocking standpoint and from a defensive standpoint in the back row. And they really did that." Iowa City West would go on to win set two, 25-14, and
