Schools across the Messenger area responded to the tragic loss of Algona police officer Kevin Cram by creating a touchdown fundraiser that raised tens of thousands of dollars for his family. How a simple, kind gesture of "Iowa Nice" became so much more.

High school athletes: you have to be good to compete at the junior college level. Very good. It's not an extension of what you see now, despite what you hear. Shouldn't be "beneath" you to consider the JUCO route. Makes good fiscal sense, and prepares you for the next level.

Cayd Lara is fighting for time on the mat at UNI. After having to fight for his life a little over two years ago, though, nothing fazes the former Fort Dodge star. The battles - and his determination to overcome it all - make @cayd07 the man he is today.

Just a reminder, @tigers fans: Lou Whitaker: 19 seasons, career WAR 75.1 Derek Jeter: 20 seasons, career WAR 72.4 One will likely be a unanimous first ballot Hall of Famer. One is still waiting for his call. @tigermike1975 @TigersHistory @IffyTheDopester @1984WSchamps @TimD56

Had to stop at @IowaCentral this morning. Every student I saw wore a mask. Temp checks at a mandatory visitor stop. I know colleges/students have been the butt of jokes lately for their supposed callous and careless behavior. Let's also give credit where credit is due.

Sad news to report: "Dodger" Denny Olson passed away this morning. No one loved the Dodgers more than Denny; our staff talked to him in the office almost every day. He'd call looking for Dodger scores or just to talk sports. RIP. @fddodgersports @FDCSD
