Newsom calls out gas companies and prices drop

And plans to deal with price gouging and prices drop in a week.....imagine that. Record profits....lying about inflation....

Oops.

Newsom gaining political clout. He was recently interviewed and went down the list of crime riddled red states that all top the list of taking federal assistance as well as having the worst crime numbers.

Odd...but fox news said! LOL

Independents and democrats have been waiting for someone to call it as it is and stop catering to right wing nonsense. Newsom will rock right wing agendas across the nation if he keeps gaining in popularity.

BASKETBALL Iowa State's Osunniyi Named to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award Watch List

Iowa State Media Relations

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Iowa State senior Osun Osunniyi has been named to the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award Watch List, announced Friday by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The initial watch list recognizes 20 players, as the award is handed out to the top center in men’s college basketball.

A transfer from St. Bonaventure, Osunniyi started 32 games for the Bonnies during the 2021-22 season. He led the team with 7.5 rebounds and 2.9 blocked shots per game as he helped lead the Bonnies to the NIT Semifinals. Osunniyi led the Bonnies in field goal percentage at 61.3 percent, while averaging 11.3 points per game. The two-time Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year, Osunniyi was named to the Lefty Driesell Defensive All-American Team last year.

“Rounding out the Men’s Starting Five Watch List is the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award. The student-athletes on this list should feel tremendously proud of all they have accomplished to be associated with basketball’s all-time leading scorer,” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame. “With his focus on both education and athletics, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s perspective is cherished by our committee when evaluating talent each year.”

In March the five finalists will be presented to Abdul-Jabbar and the Hall of Fame’s selection committee where a winner will be selected.

The winner of the 2023 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award will be presented on a to be determined date, along with the other four members of the Men’s Starting Five. Additional awards being presented include the Bob Cousy Award (Point Guard), Jerry West Award (Shooting Guard), Julius Erving Award (Small Forward) and the Karl Malone Award (Power Forward), in addition to the Women’s Starting Five.

Basketball photo shoot

The men's team had a basketball photo shoot at the Story Theatre in Story City. The theatre is like the 2nd oldest continuously operating theatre west of the Mississippi or something like that. Cool place. Not comfortable compared to modern theatres for sure. But a lot of history there. Anyway, some behind the scene photos here

Glenwood Girls X-Country

The Glenwood girls XC teams swept the Hawkeye 10 Conference meet last night held at Harlan. Glenwood's varsity team was with out their top runner, but still managed to bring home the Championship trophy.
I admit its rather enjoyable for me to watch the Glenwood teams, coached by a Harlan alum who I know quite well ;) , come onto Harlan's course and sweep it.
Sorry, but thats my proud dad brag for the day. Thanks!
