Iowa OC Brian Ferentz on spring drills

Sports

April 21st, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara will see limited action on Saturday when the Hawkeyes close spring drills with an open practice. The Michigan transfer is coming off knee surgery that cut his last season with the Wolverines short.

That’s offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz who says McNamara assumed a leadership role the minute he showed up on campus.

McNamara is expected to provide an upgrade at quarterback but two areas of concern remain alarming. Wide receivers were ineffective last season and two of Iowa’s top wideouts left via the portal. An offensive line which generated less than 95 yards of rushing per game is still dealing with injuries and lack of depth.

Ferentz says if this is his final year as the offensive coordinator he is at peace with it. His contract was amended to include a goal of 25 points per game. The Hawkeyes averaged less than 18 points per game last season.

Iowa State set to close spring drills

Sports

April 21st, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Fans will be welcomed in Jack Trice Stadium Saturday when Iowa State closes spring drills but don’t expect to watch a game. Cyclone coach Matt Campbell says it will look more like a practice.

A year ago the Cyclones held open practices at Ames and Gilbert High Schools as new turf was being installed in Jack Trice Stadium.

Campbell likes the progress that has been made since the Cyclones closed out disappointing season with a record of 4-8.

Campbell says the team won’t start taking shape until well into fall camp.

The Iowa Hawkeye baseball team closes out the first half of the Big Ten race by opening a three game series at home tonight (Friday night) against league leading Nebraska. The Hawkeyes are 4-5 in conference play while the Huskers are 7-2.

That’s Iowa coach Rick Heller. The Hawkeye hitters face a tough challenge in the opener. Husker left Emmett Olson is 5-1 and opposing hitters are batting only .181 against him.

Heller hopes the home field is an advantage this weekend. The Hawkeyes are 12-2 at Banks Field.

McCall takes over as head coach for AHSTW girls basketball

Podcasts, Sports

April 20th, 2023 by admin

Jason McCall has spent the past the past five years as an assistant coach for the AHSTW boys basketball team and now he is going to take over the head coaching role for the girls team. The AHSTW school board approved McCall’s hiring at their meeting on Wednesday night and McCall said hes anxious to meet with the girls and get to work. He felt like this was a great opportunity.

McCall is a Clarinda native that went on to school at Iowa State and then came into the AHSTW school district as a physical education teacher. He started as a volunteer coach for a few sports and then latched on with GG Harris’ staff for boys hoops. He said being around the success the Vikings have had and learning from his colleagues made him feel prepared for this next step.

McCall takes over for Jill Vanderhoof who left the district for another position. The Lady Vikes are coming off a nine win season last year but return a good number of players including four starters for the upcoming campaign. Coach McCall said he wants the team to put an emphasis on effort.

He said they have some good competition scheduled for shootouts this summer and he’s looking forward to working with the team. Listen to the full interview with Coach McCall below.

Iowa’s Kris Murray on his decision to enter the NBA Draft

Sports

April 20th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Kris Murray says the experience he gained a year ago will help as he prepares for the NBA Draft. Murray announced last week he will skip his senior season at Iowa. He explored the draft process last spring before returning for his junior season.

Kris says watching his twin brother, Keagan, go through the process last season also helped.

Murray averaged better than 20 points and nearly eight rebounds this past season in being named a third team All-American. He says returning for his junior season helped him in his goal of playing in the NBA.

The NBA Draft Combine is next month in Chicago.
