Picture moving from a city were it’s always good weather, good food, diverse women and most importantly family. Being around family was my biggest thing.

California is were Jones grew up his whole life. The beautiful sunny weather is what Jamal Jones was used to, and being around family that encouraged him and believed in his athletic ability that he will be able to adapt from anywhere he goes.

In California, it’s more of a diverse state were you would see many different colors of people black, white, Mexicans, latinos and the list goes on. Coming to Iowa was a big change in culture for him because the simple fact that he never been in a state with majority of whites and that was a major change for him but like Jamal says, “He can adapt to anything.”

Jamal knew all his life he had to adapt in life, sports, and environment because he knew you couldn’t get anywhere in life if you didn’t know how to adapt to different culture and environments. Sioux City is in a lot of ways then you can image. The weather, it gets cold here in Iowa Jamal said

Jamal had never been to the midwest, so he had to adapt to the weather here in Iowa where he attends Morningside University to play football for the Mustangs. Jamal said one thing he will never get used to is how cold it gets in Iowa.

Adversity was something that Jamal had been dealing with his whole life, and going from California into Iowa was a big jump into adversity for him.

Jones had never been in Sioux City for a visit or to come out to a football game. However, his first time coming to Iowa was when he was coming to attend school.

The love for the game of football is what made Jones make his decision. Jamal said “Yes, the jump was big. It’s been a lot and making a decision to come to one of the best NAIA schools in the world was a pleasure.”

Morningside doesn’t just have a great football team but also has a great business program which is what Morningside is known for. Jamal Jones is a business owner himself, he has a moving company where he goes around seeing if anyone needs there stuff moved from an old house to a new house.

Jamal also said, “Dealing with the injuries that I had to deal with is another big adversity thing that I had to deal with while being here in Iowa. The 4 out of 5 years I’ve been here he has been dealing with major injuries.”

“The competition that I bring into the game of football is everything I could image,” Jamal said. But none of this would have happened if it wasn’t for his teammates and coaches for bringing him into this family environment and also treating him like family.

Playing at a high level like the Morningside Mustang football team is anything that a player can dream of. Its an all high program with players and coaches, and they just don’t worry about football and how great you are. But building a life without football after college is what makes the coaches and this program s special.

 A kitchen fire led to significant damage to a Morningside house Wednesday.

On Wednesday afternoon a passing off-duty firefighter noticed smoke coming from the home at 6101 Morningside Ave. and called 911 at about 1:40 p.m. A Sioux City Fire Rescue crew responded and arrived to smoke and flames pouring from the kitchen at the back of the two-story house, said Dean Lauters, Sergeant Bluff Fire and Rescue assistant chief.

The Sioux City crew had the flames knocked down by the time Sergeant Bluff firefighters arrived at the house, which is in the Sergeant Bluff fire district.

The house had significant smoke and water damage, and the cause of the fire was still being determined, Lauters said.

This story has good points and told the readers were and how it all started. There should have been a lil bit more information on the topic. Eventually, should’ve gotten feedback from the owners of the home and what was there reaction on it coming back seeing their house burned.

The unique exhibits have created an environment that have helped polar bears thrive at the zoo since 1985. The polar bears can dig in gravel, hunt trout, and do other natural activities in these exhibits.

Midland Zoo believes these exhibits help educate zoo visitors about the threatened polar bears species.

On Wednesday afternoon Mickey Joseph was arrested for suspicion of strangulation and third degree domestic violence.

Five days later after serving as the Interim head coach for the University of Nebraska there have been conversations on Joseph being upset for not getting the head coaching job for the team which he believed he deserve.

Joseph was already looking forward to getting another coaching job at another school because he feel that his resume was good enough to the point that any school would want him or hire him.

After a big win against their rivals Iowa the team has came to Mickey Joseph and wanted him to be the permanent head coach for the rest of the season the team felt like he deserve it after getting the big win. However, 18 hours later the team announced Rhule as they new head coach for the team blocking out Joseph from getting the job.

I feel like this news is not as good just cause the simple fact is they didn’t give any information on why they was suspecting him to be doing the things he was charged for. They didn’t give no real evidence on why he was charged with that also.

They only real thing and majority of what they was talking about is the football team and him not getting the head coaching job at the school at Nebraska University.
