There will be plenty on the line tonight (Friday night) in 8-player when sixth ranked Lenox hosts number eight Fremont-Mills. The winner claims the District-9 championship and will likely host two playoff games.

That’s Fremont-Mills coach Greg Ernster, who says it matches two similar teams.

Ernster on the keys to the game.

The AHSTW Vikings (7-0) are looking to close out the regular season unbeaten with a trip to face the St. Albert Falcons (2-5) this week. The Vikings have continued to improve since last season and have been pretty dominant this year, winning every game by 20 points or more. Vikings head coach GG Harris said his team has had a great mindset.

The Vikings have been able to do some offensive damage both through the air and on the ground. Kyle Sternberg has thrown for 1,157 yards and 16 touchdowns. Luke Sternberg has rushed for 1,144 yards and 17 touchdowns. St. Albert head coach Jake Driver has been impressed by the Vikings balance.

The Falcons on the other hand have struggled to find consistent offense and have been trying to find their way the last couple of weeks without star tailback Brendan Monahan. The Falcons want to run the ball first and Coach Harris said they will need to start there defensively.

Coach Driver said his guys have continued to learn and keep a great attitude despite the ups and downs of the season so far.

The Vikings and Falcons kick off on the hill at 7:00 p.m. on Friday night. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call from Council Bluffs. The night starts with our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m. followed by pregame at 6:30 p.m. Tune in on AM 1220, FM 101.1, KJAN.com, and KJANTV.

The Atlantic Trojans (3-4) are hoping to send out a big class of 21 seniors on a high note. The Trojans host the Saydel Eagles (0-7) this week in the final game at the Trojan Bowl this season. Atlantic Head Coach Joe Brummer said it’s not just a group that has an impact on the football field but all throughout the school and community.

Atlantic played well last week in a win at Knoxville and Coach Brummer hopes they can build off that strong performance.

Saydel has struggled to generate consistent offense this season with a largely young team. Coach Brummer said they will need to put the pressure on early to not be the team that let’s them gain some footing.

The Trojans and Eagles kickoff Friday at 7:00 p.m. at the Trojan Bowl. You can hear a full interview with Coach Brummer on Trojan Preview at 4:45 p.m. Friday afternoon.

For the second time in three years, Baylor was chosen by the league’s head coaches to win the Big 12 men’s basketball regular season title. The Bears were also the preseason favorite in 2020-21 and went on to win both the Big 12 and NCAA championships.

Baylor received five first-place votes and totaled 77 points to edge out Kansas for the top spot. The Jayhawks had four first-place nods and 73 points to place second. Texas was picked third with the final first-place vote and 64 points. TCU was chosen fourth followed by a tie for fifth between Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. The remainder of the poll included Oklahoma in seventh, Iowa State eighth, West Virginia ninth and Kansas State 10th.

The Big 12 has won the last two national championships as Kansas brought home the 2022 trophy following Baylor’s title in 2021. Big 12 teams have played in the last four Final Fours and the last three national championship games. The Big 12 is the first conference to win back-to-back national championships since 2009 and 2010 and is the only conference to have three different teams play in three consecutive championship games. Sixty percent of Big 12 institutions have advanced to the Final Four since 2002, the highest percentage among conferences.

Head coaches and student-athletes from each team will appear at the Big 12 Men’s Basketball Tipoff, presented by Old Trapper in Kansas City on Wednesday October 19. Interviews from the event will air on Big 12 Now on ESPN+ from 9:00 a.m. – Noon CT. The regular season will start on Monday, November 7 with conference play beginning on New Year’s Eve.
