Larry's guide for @IHSAA state basketball travel (on the road not the court):
1. Points go on the scoreboard- not your license.
2. Game tickets > speeding tickets.
3. Be a team player- have a designated driver.
4. Get your head in the game and watch for pedestrians.

For National Retro Day we're going back in time to 1905. On September 29, 1905, near Hampton in Franklin County, a local financier named Fred Harriman lost control of his Oldsmobile and became Iowa's first recorded traffic fatality.

This is why slowing down and leaving plenty of space is so important! Roads are still bad across the state so travel with caution and match your speed to the conditions. ‼️
