It is the fifth Hawkeye game this fall that has reached sellout status, joining games against Western Michigan (Sept. 16, 2:30 p.m.), Michigan State (Sept. 30, TBA), Purdue (Oct. 7, TBA) and Minnesota (Oct 21, TBA).

Practices are ramping up for the Iowa basketball team for next month’s trip to Europe. The Hawkeyes leave August fifth and will play three games in France and Spain.
That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. The Hawkeyes have six new players, including four freshmen, and McCaffery has been impressed with how quickly they have picked things up.
McCaffery says with so many new players the timing was right for a summer trip.
The Hawkeyes finished 19-14 last season and lost to Auburn in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
(Atlantic, Iowa) – Atlantic Booster Club President Brian Wagner has announced brand new packages for member to the organization.
The 2023-2024 school year begins August 23rd for the Atlantic Community School District, and the Booster Club’s campaign kicked-off with six-levels of support available for you to choose from. Starting contributions are $140 for an annual pass to all activities, and finish with $2,000 Diamond Supporter packages that offer recognition on a multitude of programs, signs and digital ads at school events.
To support the program, community members, businesses and organizations can find a flyer in the New Telegraph’s weekly mailer that goes out to every household in the county. You can also call a Booster Club Member, message them on Facebook (Atlantic Iowa Booster Club), or e-mail boosterclubhelp@gmail.com.
The Club meets every third Monday at the Atlantic High School. Their meetings are open to the public, where involvement is welcomed with enthusiasm. Wagner says “We believe that giving these kids the support and encouragement to be involved, will come back full-circle and ten-fold, as they grow-up and become community leaders themselves.”

Third ranked Remsen St. Mary’s plays ninth ranked Lisbon in the 1A championship game at state baseball in Carroll. Remsen St. Mary’s lost in the title game a year ago to New London.
That’s Remsen St. Mary’s coach Dean Harpenau, who says it could be another low scoring, defensive game.
The Hawks are in search of their first title since 2016.
IndyCar driver Kyle Kirkwood says racing at the Iowa Speedway offers a physical challenge. Kirkwood is currently 11th in points in the NTT IndyCar series which has a racing twinbill at the Newton track this weekend.
Kirkwood says the lack of power steering is taxing on a short track as is the elevated track temperature.
Kirkwood says two races in two days adds to the challenge.
Kirkwood says the Iowa Speedway features three racing lines and how the car is set up will determine which one to use.
Kirkwood was a rookie in the IndyCar series last year and an early season win at the Long Beach Grand Prix back in April was a career changer.
