Nine previous Deery events have been held at Maquoketa and Ely’s Terry Neal counts the 2014 checkers among his four career tour checkers there.

Jeff Aikey of Cedar Falls is a three-time Deery winner at Jackson County. Ray Guss Jr. of Milan, Ill., and Rob Toland of Colona, Ill., have each won once.

Andy Nezworski of Buffalo continues to lead the Deery standings but defending champion Justin Kay of Wheatland has cut that margin to a single point.
