Trojans Dominate Again Without Seniors | Des Moines News

Pleasantville High’s baseball Trojans just crushed Durant 8-1 to claim their second straight Class 2A State Championship — and they did it without a single senior on the roster. Last year, they clawed their way to glory; this year, they owned the spotlight, finishing 35-1 with relentless chemistry, year-round grind, and a roster that’s practically family. From the mound to the dugout, every player stepped up — including Brayden Kennedy, who struck out eight in a complete game. They’re already eyeing football and basketball, and with their sights set on more titles, they’re not slowing down anytime soon.

Man Pleads Guilty to Abuse of Girlfriend and Puppy | Des Moines News

A Des Moines man, Shawn Stanton, 33, pleaded guilty to domestic abuse and animal cruelty after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend and a puppy on March 6. The dog, later named Ember, suffered a broken leg, eye injuries, a fractured jaw, and severe bruising—so bad vets suspected repeated abuse. Stanton took the injured pup with him, forcing police to deploy a K-9 unit to find her. Though originally charged with animal torture, that count was dropped in exchange for a plea deal. He now faces up to three years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for Friday, July 31. This case underscores the disturbing link between domestic violence and animal abuse.
