Timm, Paige top all-area boys' basketball team

Ed Timm won a lot of basketball games as a college head coach, but nothing beat the victory he picked up two weeks ago. Nothing.
Timm saw his Mount Vernon Mustangs rally unexpectedly from 15 points down in the third quarter to edge Fort Dodge St. Edmond for the Class 2A state championship in Des Moines. To top off this miracle, his son, Jake, was the Mustangs' point guard and hit some clutch free throws down the stretch.
What a magical run for the school, which won a state title for the first time since 1973. Just think, the guy in charge took the alleged step down to the high-school level after spending time in the Iowa Conference at Buena Vista and Cornell.
