Kimt news three sports director á kaleb gillock á spent the day in des moines as the fourthá seeded green devils took a stab at a state title.xxx (kaleb gillock á kgillock@kimt.

Com) in 1992... you could by a new car for about 17á thousand dollars... a gallon of gas was a dollar and five cents... and a postage stamp was just 29 cents each.

So what do 1992 and 2020 have in common... it's the only times the green devils have been in position to win a state title in girls basketball.

(#4 osage vs.

#3 north linn á des moines, ia) they'd hope to get the job done here tonight against north linn.

Opening minute of the game á grace flanagan with the steal... she'll take it all the way for the layin.... lynx have the first say so.

Sidney brandau's mother was on the '92 championship team... she wants to be in the history books too... putting the first points on the scoreboard for osage.

The flanagan sisters were just hard to stop... abby flanagan... nothing but net on the three... the flanagans combine for 48 points.

Before the break... ellie bobinet nothing but nylon.... but the green devils trail by 20 at the half.

The green devils shot the ball better in the second half... (class 2a á #4 osage á 42 á #3 north linn á 66) but will take the title of class 2a runner up in a 66á42 loss.

Even though the numbers on the scoreboard may not have looked the way the green devils had hoped... brandau says she is more than proud of the successes the team had this season.
