  AREA  --  The Iowa High School Athletic Association released the 2020 regular season football schedules Thursday for all participat-ing schools in the state. Among the area schools, Harlan Community, IKM-Manning and Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton will each play five home games and four road games. AHSTW will have four home games and five on the road. The schedules are for 2020 only as opposed to the usual two-year cycles. District assignments were released in February by the IHSAA, at which point

schools selected a preferred list of non-district opponents. While the IHSAA attempts to align schedules with as many priority list selections as possible, opponents and

availability are not guaran-teed. Official practices are scheduled to begin on Mon-day, Aug. 10, with opening night set for Friday, Aug. 28.

  HARLAN  --  Longtime Harlan Community teacher and coach Bill Hosack died on Saturday, March 28, in Harlan following a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 66. A native of Wilber, Neb., and a graduate of Peru State College, Hosack taught physical education for many years at HCHS and was also a drivers ed instructor - something he continued to do beyond his retirement from the school. Hosack was also highly successful as an assistant football coach and girls head track coach for the Cyclones. He served on Coach Curt Bladt’s football staff from 1977-2014, helping guide the program to 33 playoff ap-pearances, 11 state titles and eight state runner-up fin-

ishes during 38 seasons. He specialized in coaching the defensive backs. Hosack coached the HCHS girls track team for 31 years and took the program to new heights prior to his retire-ment in 2015. The Cyclone girls earned back-to-back state runner-up finishes in

Head Coach Zach Klaassen’sSeason Reflection

“I believe this season showed a lot of growth from the previous season. We saw growth in almost all statistical categories, which led to us picking up eight more wins this year. We stayed pretty healthy this season so we could start the same kids every game and bring the same kids off the bench. That consistency makes everyone’s job easier. “The girls played hard all season. They really worked hard to improve as individuals and as a team. We moved to more of a motion offense this season and you need to know the tendencies of the players on the court for it to work. So having the same top seven all season helped us grow as a team offensively. We also tried to pick up the tempo as we had some success with that at times as well. Our goal this season was to win games through a better and more consistent offense. I believe that we did that for the most part and the stats back that up.”

percent from the 3-point arc and also led the team with 42 steals. Jocelyn Cheek scored 7.6 ppg. and point guard Ash-ley Hall (5.9 ppg.) dished out 105 assists - just two shy of the school record. As a team, HCHS improved in nearly every statistical category from 2019, includ-ing an uptick in scoring from 41.2 ppg. to 50.0, a field goal percentage increase from .306 to .360 and a rebounding average from 24.6 to 32.6. Playing just one more game than last season, the Cyclones also improved by 96 assists, 26 steals and 43 blocked shots. HCHS will potentially return its entire roster for 2020-21 but must continue to improve in the shooting and ball handling departments (14.2 turnovers per game) to further climb the Hawk-eye Ten ladder and advance deeper into the postseason.
