Atlantic Head Coach Kathy Hobson: “After what seemed like a very slow start, we put together a fantastic front 9. Very pleased with how girls shook off a poor hole and came back with strong play. The H10 has always been a strong conference for golf with competitive golfers and well coached teams. It is hard to go back to back.  Definitely a team victory.”

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa head men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery announced on Monday that Belmont transfer and Iowa City native Even Brauns (pronounced Evan) has signed with the University of Iowa.

Brauns (6-foot-9, 240 pounds) has two years of eligibility remaining after playing 91 games in three seasons at Belmont. Prior to Belmont, Brauns was a teammate of Patrick McCaffery at Iowa City West High School.

As a junior with the Bruins, he started 29 of 30 contests played. Brauns averaged 7.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and a team-best 1.4 blocks while shooting a team-best 58 percent from the floor. He netted double figures 10 times, pulled down double-digit rebounds five times and posted four double-doubles.

In 2022, he played in 31 games, including one start. Brauns scored a career-high 19 points to go along with seven rebounds and three steals versus Bethel. As a freshman, he appeared in 30 games, totaling 119 points, 65 rebounds, 14 blocks, eight assists and three steals.

Brauns and Belmont were part of the Missouri Valley Conference last season before previously competing in the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC).

The marketing major was named to the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll in 2021.

As a prep, Brauns was a four-year letterwinner at West. He was named to the Des Moines Register All-Iowa and Cedar Rapids Gazette All-Area teams in 2020. Brauns helped lead West to a 22-3 record, averaging 15.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game as a senior. He averaged 11 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots per outing on 68 percent shooting from the field as a junior. Brauns was the No. 2 ranked prospect in the state of Iowa Class of 2020 by espn.com and 247Sports.

Former Iowa corner Riley Moss gets ready for the next step in his transition to the NFL when the Denver Broncos open rookie mini camp later this week. The Ankeny native was taken by the Broncos in the third round of the NFL Draft and joins an experienced secondary in Denver.

Moss says one of his biggest strengths is his instinctive nature as a player.

Moss showed the ability to make big plays for the Hawkeyes. He returned three interceptions for touchdowns his junior season.

Northern Iowa softball coach Ryan Jacobs believes the Panthers will need to win the Missouri Valley Tournament this week in Carbondale, Illinois to get into the NCAA Tournament. The regular season champion Panthers will enter the tournament with a 38-11 record and riding a school record 17 game winning streak after Sunday’s 9-1 win over Evansville. Jacobs says more early wins in non-conference play would have boosted their at-large chances.

Jacobs says their fate remains in their own hands. The winner of the Valley tournament receives an automatic bid.

The Panthers open in the quarterfinal round on Thursday morning and play the winner of Wednesday’s game between Drake and Evansville.

(Radio Iowa) – State regulators are starting over on a study of the horse racing industry. Racing and Gaming Administrator Brian Ohorilko says they only received one response to their original request for a proposal to do a study, and are going to try again.”The commission staff will be working with the Department of Administrative services to to initiate another R-F-P to study the horse racing industry, and really to try to assist with promoting the health and sustainability of the industry,” he says. The Racing and Gaming Commission decided upon the study in September of last year, and Ohorilko says they are hoping to find more applicants to do the study.

“The commission will be reaching out to a number of prospective individuals, that may be interested in hopes that people will put in bids and we’ll have some good options to choose from later this summer, when the selections are made,” Ohorilko says. Ohorilko says they are looking for a comprehensive study. “A study like this does take time and requires a lot of interviews, a lot of data. And so it is quite possible that the work will take place over the course of 12 to 14 months,” Ohorilko says. “And so if the study is initiated right now, I think the commission will be looking for results in late summer, or fall of 2024.”

Ohorilko says there are a lot of different opinions now on the state of the horse racing industry in Iowa, and that’s why the Commission decided to conduct a study to get an outside view.
