"it warms your heart knowing that you're doing something good for them," said mallory gaul. "it's a really big deal," said mallory

"these kids are really appreciative for all that they're getetng," said mallory gaul.l.i'm expecting to serve about a 1,000 kids today," said mallory gaul. "you're at the goodwill shoe and mitten party," said mallory gaul. "my name is uallory gaul," said mallory gaul. "community marketing manager here at goodwill of the great plains," said mallory gaul. "we're giving away free hats, shoes, socks and mittens to children ages five to 11," said mallory gaul. "this is our 76th year here in sioux city doing t t shoe and mitten papay," said mallory gaul. "it started out with patent leather shoes that we gave and now as you can see theyre a little more brightly colored," said mallory gaul. "we have over 100 volunteers that come out today," said mallory gaul. "a lot of people start calling beginning of november to get on the list to bring their children and volunteer for the event," said mallory gaul. "they come wearing shoes with holes in it [and] some of them don''even have socks oo their feett" said mallory gauu "somm of the kids we saw last year, they're wearing the same exact shoes that we gave them last year," said mallory gaul. "they're a little shy at first but once you get talking to them they start smiling, laughing and telling you more about themselves," said sage lewis. "once you go ahead and you put the fresh socks on [and] the fresh shoes, the experience they get from it, they're just smiling ear to ear," said sage lewis. "some of them might not be able to afford very much and this is just one less thing the parents are going to have to buy so then maybe they can give their kids a

christmas," said mallory gauln "we tr and make it a fun experience too," said mallory gaul. "they also get to see santa claus while they're here," said mallory gaul. "it's great," said mallory gaul.

"so many of the litte kids that are getting these things, it's not the parents, i mean the parents say thank you, but the little kids themsleves when you say merry christmas and their face lights up and you hand them something and they say thank you, it makes me have faith that

being brought up right," said janet schrunk. there was also a number of people from the ktiv family helping kids lace up their new shoes. mark's in now with sports - morningside looking to go back to the n-a-i-a national championship game.

game in 2012, morningside has fallen in the national semifinals each of the last two seasons. morningside had a chance to get back to the title game - but it wouldn't be easy. on the other sideline - the defending national champions from southern ororon. totolsen stadium - winner heads to daytona beach to face marian inin few weeks. uthern oregon gets on the board first - on their first drive - keegan lawrence is in - but it was just 6- nothing after a quarter. morningside gets on the board in the second - with a 99-yard drive - tyler kavan scores on 4th down - 7-6 mustangs at

third quarter - ryan kasdorf airs it out to jason vanderkooi - are you kidding me?! the one handed grab - take another look - vanderkooi had 100 yards receiving. next play - kasdorf - to michael whitehead - the toe tap - morningside takes a 14-6 lead. later in the quarter - mustangs up 21-16 - but here goes tanner trosin - the juke - back across the field - 27 yard touchdown - southern oregon leads 23-21. 4th quarter - kavan - his third touchdown of the day - morningside goes back on top, 27-23. now with a minute and a half left - 4th down for southern oregon - quarterback draw - gutsy playcall - raiders re-take the lead 30-27. morningside gets a chance - lining up a 41-yard field goal

blocked - and morningside falls a game short of the national title game in heartbreak fashion, 30-27. "they are a great team," said quarterback ryan kasdorf. "they're returning champions, give all the credit in the world to them. but we killed ourselves today. they made plays when they had to, and we didn't offensively. that's why we came up short in the end." "there was no point in that game where i thought we were going to lose," said senior linebacker etetn stofferan. "even until the clock went to zero, i knew that we were going to win. when they blocked it, you've got to make a play, and that's that." "there's not a lot to tell them, except that you're going to miss them," said head coach steve ryan. "it's an amazing group of seniors, that's really all i'm thinking about right now. those guys, you've gotten to know them m r four years,s,nd this is it." morningside's season ends at 12-2. the two best girls basketball teams in the metro should be bishop heelan and sioux city west. both are ranked by the iowa girls union - they squared off

heelan, ranked 9th in 4a - west is 14th in 5a. it was a three-point game at the half - wolverines extending that lead - maddie jensen pulls up and gets the friendly roll - west up 31-26. back for heelan - working it around to rhea greer - she drops in the three - heelan back within 2 points. but from there, it was all west - rachel knutson-kobold with the drive - goes up and under for the score - wolverines running away with it. tough to defend in the paiont - darrien n rd muscles her way n for 2 - west with the early-season statement, 61-49. in division 1 - the hawkeyes get an even 20-point win over kansas city - dom uhl leading the way with a double- double, 14 points 10 baords. nebraska takes down abilene christian by 10 - andrew white scored 30 points in the husker n.
