Atlantic alum Ryan Hawkins will get to try his hand at professional basketball this year. Following a standout college career at Northwest Missouri State and Creighton, Hawkins tells KJAN Sports that he is signing with the Toronto Raptors organization.
Hawkins signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Raptors that will put him on Toronto’s G-League team Raptors 905, with the flexibility to convert the contract into a two-way deal with the NBA team.
Hawkins will be with the franchise for one-year on a minimum salary contract but will be eligible to earn a big bonus if he stays with the team’s G-League affiliate for 60 days.
When asked about how it feels to get the chance to play professional basketball Hawkins said, “It still really hasn’t hit me that this is a reality for me. Never really thought it would happen as a kid, it was always a dream but now that it’s finally a reality for me, It still hasn’t set in yet but I’m sure one of these days it will.”
Ryan said he had constant communication from the Raptors and others so he was hopeful he was going to get a chance. He said it was good it came when it did though. “It’s a really good thing that this contract worked out how it did and when it did because all of the European teams have already started their leagues and they are two, three, four weeks ahead of the NBA schedule. So the ship has already sailed on that opportunity so I would of had to find a real job had nothing happened out of this, so very thankful that it did.”
The Raptors 905 squad opens their season on November 9th and they are scheduled for a visit to Des Moines to face the Iowa Wolves on Thursday, December 29th and 31st at Wells Fargo Arena making a possibility that he would play close to home this year.

The AHSTW Vikings closed off a perfect regular season on Friday with a 52-10 win at St. Albert. The Vikings struck early with a touchdown on their first possession and set the tone for the rest of the game. Luke Sternberg ripped off a 75-yard run on the Vikings first offensive play and three plays later the Vikes were in the endzone with a 4-yard pass from Kyle Sternberg to Nick Denning.
The Vikings would add a 62-yard touchdown run by Luke Sternberg and then Kyle Sternberg added two more touchdown throws for the Vikes, one to Ryan Wedemeyer and the other again to Denning to lead 26-10 by half.
The Vikings continued to push that lead larger in the second half and fought through a slew of penalties during the third quarter that drug the game out.
AHSTW improves to 8-0 on the regular season and now awaits their playoff opponent. St. Albert ends the year at 2-6.

(Radio Iowa) – An attorney representing thousands of employees at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics says the health system has agreed to pay 15 million dollars to settle a wage dispute. Earlier this year a federal judge ruled the health system owed as many as 11-thousand current and former employees of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for delaying overtime payments by more than a month. Iowa law requires all wages earned to be paid within 12 days of the end of the pay period.
Documents being filed in federal court indicate the university admits no wrongdoing, but is offering the 15 million dollar settlement to avoid additional litigation costs. The lawsuit was filed in 2019, on behalf of health care workers and support staff. Under the agreement, employees who may have been underpaid are to be contacted and given 45 days to opt out of the settlement. Then, the full list of employees who’ll be getting payments will be developed.
