Alburnett falls to Spirit Lake in state semifinal debut
CEDAR FALLS – Alburnett had another thrilling victory at its fingertips. As the Pirates were on the verge of completing a comeback, it slipped from their grips and Spirit Lake snatched it out of their hands. Top-ranked Alburnett were driving for a possible go-ahead score in the final minutes, but a red-zone fumble with about a minute remaining was recovered by No. 7 Spirit Lake, which held on for a 26-21 victory in the Class 2A state football semifinal Saturday at the UNI-Dome . "If we look through the game, there's multiple times we made mistakes and gave up a touchdown or we could have moved the ball and scored a touchdown and we didn't," Alburnett Coach Nick Wooldrik said. "It always comes down to that last little play, but there's multiple things in there that we could have done better." The Pirates (10-2) produced an impressive run. They reached double-digit wins, captured a district title and advanced further than any other team in program history, going 18-5 over the last two seasons. All that provided little solace.

Google submits Palo annexation request for data center site
PALO — Google has officially petitioned Palo to have land for a proposed data center project annexed into the city limits. The city this week posted an online announcement about the application, which will require review and approval from both the city’s Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council. The commission will review the matter Nov. 30, after which it heads to the council. Google is looking to have roughly 650 acres in what is currently unincorporated Linn County annexed into the Palo city limits. The land is generally located southwest of the intersection of Palo Marsh and Power Plant roads. The request includes 550 acres of land south of the Duane Arnold Energy Center for a proposed data center project along the Cedar River and another 100 acres of agricultural buffer to connect the site to Palo’s current city limits. The tech giant intends to build up to six data center buildings at that location , with hopes to begin construction on the first building early next year. That timeline will change, however, should the annexation not move forward. The county first announced Google’s interest in the site last year, but the company this spring told officials it
