July 19, 2008 Story to be added...
Blackhawks in top form
JULY 14, 2008 By DWANE McFERRIN, Nonpareil Staff Writer COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia. -- Saturday night's game between the Iowa Blackhawks and Kansas Koyotes at the Mid-America Center shouldn't have mattered since five-time defending league champion Kansas sewed up the American Professional Football League regular season crown weeks ago and Iowa had also secured a playoff spot. With key starters returning to action and top play from mid-season signees, the Blackhawks played the most complete game of the year in front of a raucous crowd and earned its second win in team history over the Koyotes with a 47-34 triumph. The win was the fifth straight for the Blackhawks (7-3) and a huge confidence builder before the playoffs.  Iowa never trailed in the game and Kansas made uncharacteristic mistakes including four turnovers. Newcomer Jeff McQuinn blocked a kick that was converted for a score by Tion Wilson in the first quarter to push the Blackhawks to an early 14-7 lead. McQuinn also tipped a Nathan Bolden pass and pulled down the interception late in the fourth quarter that led to Elijah Simmons third rushing touchdown of the game. McQuinn's heroics drew chants from the crowd "M-V-P" after the interception all but assured the win. "I was really happy to help the Blackhawks beat an undefeated team," said former Lewis Central graduate McQuinn who received consideration from NFL teams after playing college football for Peru State. "Everyone came out tonight with a lot of energy and the defense was juiced." Another key defensive play was a 45-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter by....... 
Future building of MOHM'S PLACE!!
Benefit to be held for MOHM's Place
JULY 9, 2008 By TIM JOHNSON, Daily Nonpareil Staff Writer COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia. -- Sam's Club and the Iowa Blackhawks will team up to hold a fundraiser for MOHM's Place in conjunction with the Blackhawks' game against the Kansas Koyotes this weekend. The event will begin with a tailgate party from noon to 4:30 p.m. at Sam's Club, 3221 Manawa Centre Drive, and finish up at the Mid-America Center, 1 Arena Way. Hamburgers, bratwurst and hot dogs will be available for purchase during the tailgate party, along with chips and pop.  A silent auction will be opened at Sam's and continued at the MAC. Doors to the arena will open at 6 p.m., and the game will kick off at 7:05. The silent auction will offer 20 to 30 items donated by local businesses, said Tony Doremus, marketing and public relations manager for the Blackhawks. Winners will be announced and items distributed after the third quarter, he said. On the auction block will be a weeklong condo stay for two valued between $1,200 to $2,400, two $250 gift certificates from Mouw Chiropractic & Spinal Rehabilitation Center, a $250 voucher toward a cruise from Four Corners Travel, one night at Holiday Inn & Suites, a dinner-and-movie package from Quaker Steak & Lube and Star Cinema, dinner at Tish's Restaurant, 18 holes of golf at Bent Tree Golf Club, gift cards from various stores at Mall of the Bluffs and an ice cream freezer from Wal-Mart, said Jeannie Feller, outside business representative for Sam's Club. The collaboration between Sam's and the Blackhawks began earlier this year, Feller said. "We have been working with the Blackhawks all season," she said. "They did something with us for the Children's Miracle Network; and their favorite charity is MOHM's Place, so now we're helping them with that." "The idea started out fairly simple, and we were able to make it bigger than that," said Rhonda Letuli, advantage coordinator for Sam's Club. MOHM's Place's construction project and operating costs led the Blackhawks to select the meal site as its charity for the year, Doremus said. "We chose MOHM's Place, in part, because they're in the midst of building a new shelter." Also, raising money is especially challenging right now for shelters, he said. For more information regarding the tailgate fundraiser, please call the Blackhawks office @ (712) 366.9326 or email info@iowablackhawks.com.
