Marvin DeJear, the director of the Evelyn K. Davis Center for Working Families at Des Moines Area Community College, was named today as the new senior vice president of talent development for the Greater Des Moines Partnership.
He is scheduled to begin his new role on Jan. 25. DeJear fills a position recently held by Mary Bontrager, who retired at the end of 2020.
Jay Byers, Partnership president and CEO, cited DeJear’s “wide range of experiences, deep community connections and proven track record of helping people gain access to education and career opportunities,” saying he is “strategically positioned to lead the Partnership’s talent development work moving forward.”
The Knights played well on the road in the 1
st half as they built a lead at the halftime. Brooklyn Gifford had another great shooting night hitting 6-3’s in the game helping Kuemper lead 17-6 after the 1
st quarter. Things continued to go well in the 2
nd quarter and Kuemper went into the haltime up by 6. They held onto the lead into the 4
th quarter before a few late turnovers allowed St Albert to take the lead and hold onto it late. The Knights did have a shot to win or tie it late but it didn’t fall.

The Carroll Tigers fought all night against the Raccoon River Conference’s number one team Ballard Bombers, but fell just short of knocking them off. The first quarter would be all Carroll as they would lead for most of the quarter and end with the 9-8 lead. The returning Ella Collison would lead the team with seven points in that quarter. Collison sustained a knee injury after Tuesday’s contest against Winterset, but was feeling great and was scoring great against the Bombers. Heading into the second quarter against the undefeated Bombers, the Tigers would keep the game close to them going into halftime trailing 19-17. Collison would lead all scorers with 10 first half points. Also scoring for the Tigers that half was Gabi Hammer with five points and Camryn Schable with two points.
