My 4-year old just told his older brother to “suck it” during an argument.
A phrase he apparently picked up after my wife told Rutgers to do so during the exciting aftermath of a buzzer-bearer.

This won't surprise anyone from Solon, but Tyler Linderbaum has made a good early impression with his play and attitude.

That's terrible! Did you see this photo from @mulho2mj? It actually shows Chase Winovich going after a one year old baby before Matt Sokol heroically saved the child.

I thought it was cool to see these three kids line up across from each other less than 25 miles from the fields where they battled as preps.

An incredible 3000m from Anna and Marie Hostetler. The only sub-10 minute times in Iowa high school track this season (9:51.08 & 9:56.78).

A state semifinal appearance in football. State quarterfinals in baseball. Substate final in basketball and soccer. Sixth at wrestling duals, 11th at state track...
This was a special group of Solon seniors. Great athletes and great teammates!

I feel so lucky to have spent the last eight years covering sports in amazing communities that care so much about their kids. The support I've witnessed and received has been really special.
I will be covering my last game on Friday, Dec. 16.

My equipment and photos are both a little better than they were when I started part-time at the Kalona News in 2014. Thursday, I was happy to finish 2nd to @mattheinrix, best photographer at a large weekly — my first ever award.

Wow, Central Methodist stays unbeaten at home with a 21-19 win over No. 5 Baker!
Per the broadcast, the Eagles have clinched a share of the conference title for the first time since '75 and have their most wins since '49. A great job by @dscalloway and @CMUEaglesFB

I only saw @SoftballSolon a couple times this year, but I was really impressed with the demeanor and leadership of Skyler Stookey each time.
You're a great teammate, @ss_skyler.

Erin Kerkhoff was born to run fast, she just needs to know where the finish line is.
If you missed it, make sure you read this great story from @susan_harman about Kerkhoff and her guide runner, Emily Moser.

Thought about it today that these four area kids I saw Saturday were all in that crazy '17 @DrakeRelays shot put field, throwing 66-3.5, 65-2.5, 57-9.5 & 54.
They've also finished 1st, 1st, 2nd, & 3rd at state wrestling. #multisportathletes

There hasn't been a single time when an interaction with Mark Schneider has not made my day a little bit better.
What a genuine, warm person. The Mid-Prairie district has been so lucky to have him lead.
I hope I'll still see you around. Best wishes @mpsuptmark

Luke Yaklich helped put a championship defense on the court this season for Michigan. The story of how he and fellow asst. DeAndre Haynes ended up in Ann Arbor is pretty interesting.
Here's the story of how Michigan's John Beilein came to hire two unknown assistant coaches from Illinois State

Two weeks ago, Mid-Prairie senior Ben Meader had NEVER. WON. A. TOURNAMENT.
15 months ago, he was still wrestling JV matches.
On Saturday he trusted the game plan, and after two 3rd-period comebacks, became a district champion.
