Deni McDaniel has put a lot of time and effort into playing volleyball over the last decade, that’s why this upcoming season at Iowa Central Community College will be bittersweet for the 2021 Humboldt High School graduate.

McDaniel, who begins her second and final year with the Tritons this fall, is hoping to see playing time for the Tritons, who are coming off a fourth-place finish in last year’s National Junior College Athletic Association Division II national tournament.

Over the past three seasons, Iowa Central has compiled an impressive won-loss record of 97-13 overall, won three conference titles, two regional championships and also placed third at nationals two years ago.

Weekend rains helped soften the ground slightly. Community volunteers and Play by Design builders arrived at Taft Park bright and early Monday morning, ready to go to work.
The project is to construct a signature, child-safe playground with all the amenities of the old castle-type Wildcat Wonderland with many new and improved features.
Monday, three members of the Play by Design build team from Ithaca, NY, led volunteers in the digging of post holes and the setting of plastic lumber posts to anchor many of the main components of the playground structure.
“We had a good day today,” Humboldt Parks Superintendent Clayton Vorland said late Monday afternoon.
