North Liberty Leader
IOWA CITY– Coach B.J. Mayer returns only one starter from last year’s West High Women of Troy varsity basketball team, but if that worries him, as is his trademark, it doesn’t show.
Ali Tauchen, a junior, is the solitary starter back from the 23-4 squad that fell in a Class 5A State Tournament semifinal game to West Des Moines Valley last March. Three of last year’s starting five– Mikaela Morgan, Dani Craig and Grace Tafolla– were lost to graduation, while fellow junior Emily Halverson isn’t going out for basketball this season.

TIFFIN– His obvious presence on the hardwood will be missed.
Drew Wagner, at 6’-5”, had the height of a basketball player, and north of 300 pounds, the weight of a football lineman– which he also played for the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers. It was that combination of height and weight that also made him a dominating offensive machine for the Clippers varsity basketball team last season. Wagner led the Clippers with 14.3 points per game in a 16-7 campaign ending in a Class 3A district final against rival Williamsburg.

TIFFIN– The Clear Creek Amana Marching Band will participate in the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C. next year.

NORTH LIBERTY– The City of North Liberty reminds residents snow emergencies go into effect automatically with a snowfall of two inches, or when one is declared by city administration. The goal is to allow North Liberty’s streets to be cleared efficiently, so travel is safer and melting snow can drain quickly.
When a snow emergency is in effect, on-street parking is prohibited; cars can be ticketed every 12 hours or towed. More information about snow emergencies is available at northlibertyiowa.org/snow.
