Tonight’s Heart of Iowa Activities Conference girl/boy basketball doubleheader in Jefferson vs. Saydel (Des Moines) has an element of compassion to it. Nick Noring, the head boys’ coach at Saydel, lost his home to fire over the break, so cash donations for the Noring family will be accepted tonight at the ticket table.

On the court, the teams appear to be somewhat evenly matched. Greene County is 0-9 in girls’ basketball and 3-6 in boys’ hoops. The Eagles have a 2-7 girls’ record and the boys are 2-6. Coverage starts at 5:45 p.m. with the girls playing at 6 o’clock and the boys to follow on KG98 and streaming on www.raccoonvalleyradio.com.
