The AC-GC Chargers boys basketball team ended their season with a 60-46 loss to the Lynnville-Sully Hawks in the semi-final round the Class 1A-Region 7 bracket. The Chargers were led in scoring by junior Noah Kading who had 13 points in that game.

The Chargers were led in scoring by junior Jathan South who had 355 points and averaged 15 points per game this season.

AC-GC will be losing four seniors to graduation this year: Anthony Solorzano, Lance Bunde, Carter Neff and Nate Chance.

Chargers coach Lance Kading commented about playing a tough top ranked Lynnville-Sully team this post season.

Coach Kading talked about junior Jathan South growth over this past summer.

Coach Kading says he is going to lose two key senior starters Anthony Solorzano and Lance Bunde to graduation this year.

Coach Kading said that his team will also be participating in summer camps, while some of the incoming seniors will be on a traveling team.

The Chargers did end the season with 14-9 overall record and went 9-6 in the West Central Conference, and the players are looking forward to next season.

The Drake men play Evansville Friday night in the quarterfinals of the Missouri Valley Tournament in St. Louis. The Bulldogs are the two seed and stand 25-6 overall.

That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries. The Bulldogs have reached the championship game three straight years and beat Bradley in last season’s title contest.

DeVries hopes the recent success they have had in the tournament is a plus.

DeVries on the keys to winning three games in three days.

Evansville advanced with a 59-53 victory over Illinois State.

The third ranked Iowa Hawkeye women play Penn State in Friday night’s quarterfinal round at the Big Ten Tournament in the Twin Cities. The Hawkeyes will be in search of their third straight tournament title and enter the post season with a record of 26-4.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder who says game prep is always a challenge during conference tournaments.

Bluder says the soldout crowds at home and on the road have prepared the Hawkeyes for the post season.

This week’s tournament will draw record crowds.

Penn State advanced with an 80-56 victory over Wisconsin.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa rowing team heads to Waco, Texas for spring training, followed by a scrimmage against No. 18 SMU.

Iowa will accompany training by competing against the Mustangs in a scrimmage Friday, Mar. 15, and Saturday, Mar. 16.

The Northern Iowa men look to take the momentum from a late season winning streak into Friday afternoon’s quarterfinal round of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. The Panthers are the fourth seed after closing the regular season on a three game win streak. They play the winner of this afternoon’s second game between Belmont and Valparaiso.

That’s UNI coach Ben Jacobson, who says the keys in tournament games don’t change. It is about effort and fundamentals.

The Iowa Hawkeye men have played their way onto the NCAA bubble and have another chance at a resume building win Sunday night when they close the regular season at home against 12th ranked Illinois. With four wins in their last five games the Hawkeyes have moved to 10-9 in the Big Ten and 18-12 overall.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. The Illini will finish second in the Big Ten and cause the Hawkeyes a number of concerns.

The Illini beat the Hawkeyes 95-85 two weeks and McCaffery says they need to do a better job of slowing down Illinois star guard Terrance Shannon.

The Wartburg women’s basketball team travels to Providence, Rhode Island, for the Sweet-16 of the NCAA Division III Tournament. They will take on Bates College in Friday night’s opener.

It is Wartburg’s second straight trip to the Sweet Sixteen.
