Roland-Story has built one of best Iowa high school football defenses

With five minutes left in its Iowa high school football state quarterfinal game at No. 2 Van Meter, Roland-Story was back on its heels. The Norsemen held a comfortable two-touchdown lead over the Bulldogs, 28-14, but Van Meter was driving. After Roland-Story raced to a 21-0 first-half lead, Van Meter settled in and gradually shifted the game's momentum. Van Meter had the ball on the Roland-Story 8-yard line facing third-and-5 in the final minutes of the game. If the Bulldogs could find the end zone, they would make it a one-score game with plenty of time to get the ball back for a potential tying or go-ahead drive. Bulldog quarterback Keenan Lundy entered the game among the top five rushers in 2A with an average of nearly 150 yards per game, but he had been held under 100 yards by a Roland-Story defense that had locked in on him for most of the night. When he took the snap on the pivotal third-down play, Lundy scrambled to his left and, with Norse defenders bearing down on him, he tried to force a pass to receiver Blake Becker in the end zone. His throw was on line, but Roland-Story defensive back

“Hi, Welcome to Chili’s”

The evening of November 8th, 2026 was marked with excitement as a group of six girls, including 3 of your Dowling Catholic Post writers, sauntered into Chili’s looking for some good food and even better memories. And while we didn’t have crazy expectations going in, what we were met with when we got seated at 11411 Forest Avenue in Clive, Iowa, was certainly a pleasant surprise.

Korean fried chicken chain bb.q Chicken coming to Des Moines

The Des Moines metro's Korean fried chicken scene is still young enough that many diners can trace its growth in real time. A few years ago, finding Korean-style fried chicken often meant tracking down a pop-up or ordering from a ghost kitchen. Now one of South Korea's biggest fried chicken brands is preparing to join the local lineup. The globally recognized Korean fried chicken chain, bb.q Chicken , whose name stands for "Best of the Best Quality," is slated to open in the Goldfinch Lofts development at 3404 Ingersoll Ave. in 2027, bringing one of the world's most influential Korean fried chicken concepts to Des Moines, according to a permit filed with the city. Goldfinch Lofts, Cutler Developments’ newest mass timber mixed-use project, is a three-story, carbon-neutral building with apartments above and 9,602 square feet of retail at the base. The Collective, the sustainable retail shop , plans to open on the ground floor in November, leaving its Highland Park space. For local fried-chicken fanatics, it's more than another restaurant opening. It's the latest sign that Korean fried chicken has moved from niche cuisine to one of the fastest-growing dining segments in the Des Moines metro. What is bb.q Chicken?

UIHC task force leaves cause of higher Mission Cancer bills untouched

A small task force the Iowa Board of Regents assembled to review issues with patient billing after University of Iowa Health Care purchased the state's largest cancer treatment clinic says more could be done to help patients understand billing and access financial support. The task force, however, was not assigned to do anything about the biggest factor that has made former Mission Cancer & Blood patients' bills higher under UIHC. Dr. Denise Jamieson, UIHC vice president for medical affairs , told the regents at their Wednesday, Nov. 11, meeting in Ames the group examined communications with patients and billing and financial counseling. Jamieson said it determined UIHC could inform patients earlier about what they may owe, connect them with financial assistance and work with insurers, employers and others that play a role in out-of-pocket medical costs. UIHC also could "measure whether the changes are affecting the patient experience," she said. "We want patients to focus on their treatment," she said. But the task force did not address the reason for the higher bills. In a series of investigative reports this year, the Des Moines Register Watchdog found the elevated bills showed up after the nonprofit hospital group started charging hospital
