Williamsburg teacher featured in Kirkwood newsletter

Williamsburg teacher Joe Degen was featured in the winter newsletter of Kirkwood Community College’s Iowa County center this month. Degen is social studies teacher for grades 7-12 at Williamsburg Jr./Sr. High School. “At first I wanted it to cover some of my general education requirements,” said Degen in the newsletter, explaining why he took classes through Kirkwood. “Then when I found out where I wanted to go I tried to take them to cover as much non-major stuff that I could.” Degen said in the newsletter that taking Kirkwood classes while he was in high school helped him find more time to take the classes he wanted to take when he got to college. “It also helped me get more general education classes completed so I had more time to focus on my majors (history and education).” Kirkwood’s Michael Jacobsen was a big help to Degen during his time at Kirkwood Iowa County Center, he says in the newsletter. “…[D]ue to his experience as a former social studies teacher, I was able to talk about my career path and a potential four-year plan before I even knew what college I was going to pick,” Degen said. “When I got to

Taj Manning and Tre Singleton's tenacity fuel No. 18 Iowa State's 83-57 win over Southern Miss

AMES — Iowa State forward Taj Manning is unlikely to fill up the stat sheet enough to participate in many postgame news conference’s this season. But that didn’t stop him from earning a strong special mention from his head coach, T.J. Otzelberger, after his trademark tenacity put a firm stamp on the No. 18 Cyclones’ 83-57 win over Southern Miss in Friday’s home season opener. “The guy (who) will be the most unheralded, (who’s) probably been the most winning player is Taj Manning,” Otzelberger said after Manning swatted away a career-high four blocks before a crowd of 13,920 at Hilton Coliseum. “He makes play after play defensively, at the rim, in rotation, guarding the basketball. His minutes are gonna continue to elevate. It’s real hard to keep him off the floor and it’s not always gonna show up with the points, but defensively, he really gives us an indignity and we’re gonna continue to lean into that.” That’s at least partly because this ISU team (1-1) is still trying to forge that identity. It always stems from stern defense, forcing live ball turnovers, and hoarding rebounds, and Otzelberger said his talented, but largely new group of players are a “work
