Comments from Atlantic Coach Dan Vargason

The Atlantic Trojans (2-4) have a long road trip this week to face the Knoxville Panthers (1-5) in a Class 3A District 6 football contest. The Trojans are looking to bounce back after back-to-back losses to top five teams ADM and Harlan. The Trojans are hoping to lean on their senior leaders down the stretch.

That’s Atlantic Head Coach Joe Brummer. When the Trojans have been at their best they have been able to hit some big plays on the outside with Colton Rasmussen, Carter Pellett, Jayden Proehl, and Jackson McLaren. Knoxville Head Coach Matt Dunkin thinks those guys pose a challenge for his squad.

Knoxville has had their most success in the passing game. Junior quarterback Noah Keefer has hit on 56 of 113 attempts for 723 yards and 6 touchdowns. Coach Brummer said the Panthers do a good job of setting up some big plays.

Coach Dunkin says Keefer has done a great job of orchestrating what they want to do on offense.

The Trojans and the Panthers will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. this week. Chris Parks and Seth Christensen will have the call from Ken Locke Stadium on AM 1220, FM 101.1, KJAN.com, and KJANTV. Our night will start with our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m. followed by pregame at 6:30 p.m. You can also catch a full interview with Coach Brummer on Trojan Preview at 4:45 p.m.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa men’s basketball junior forward Kris Murray has been named to the 2022-23 Big Ten Preseason All-Big Ten Team. The announcement was made on Thursday by the Big Ten Conference.

It marks the fourth straight season that one or more Hawkeyes have been selected to the preseason list, voted upon by a selected panel of media. Joe Wieskamp was selected in 2019 and 2020, Luka Garza was tabbed the Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year in 2020, while Kris’ twin brother Keegan Murray was recognized in 2021.

Kris Murray was Iowa’s leading scorer (9.7) and rebounder (4.3) off the bench last season. He improved his scoring average by 9.1 points and rebounding average by 3.7 per outing. The native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was second on the team in 3-point percentage (.397), blocks per game (0.9) and field goals made (124), third in offensive (1.6) and defensive (2.7) rebounds per contest, and fourth in steals (0.8) per game. His 31 blocks and 43 triples rank seventh and eighth, respectively, by a Hawkeye sophomore. He shared the team’s Most Improved Player Award with Tony Perkins.

Murray’s best game in 2022 came in leading the Hawkeyes to victory over Indiana on Jan. 13, 2022 (29 points; 11 rebounds; 3 steals; 3 blocks).

AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State women’s basketball team has been picked by the Big 12’s coaches to win the 2022-23 regular season title, the conference announced on Thursday. The Cyclones finished one point ahead of second-place Texas, amassing 75 points to the Longhorns’ 74, with each team receiving four first-place votes.

This is the third time the Cyclones have been picked to win the regular season title. In 1999-00, the Cyclones were picked first ahead of the season and delivered with a regular season crown. ISU was again picked first in 2000-01, and though Iowa State came up a spot short, they did go on to win the 2001 Big 12 Women’s Basketball Tournament.

Expectations are high for the Cyclones after Bill Fennelly’s squad set a program-record with 28 wins last season and returned to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2010. The 2021-22 Cyclones also set a record for conference victories in a season with 14.

Many familiar faces return for this Iowa State squad, led by 2022-23 Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year Ashley Joens. The two-time defending Cheryl Miller Award winner was also a unanimous selection for the All-Big 12 Preseason Team and was joined by Lexi Donarski and Emily Ryan, both of whom were also All-Big 12 First Team selections at the end of 2021-22.

The Cyclones make their first appearance in Hilton Coliseum on Wednesday, Nov. 2 for an exhibition against Winona State prior to the regular season kickoff against Cleveland State on Monday, Nov. 7 at 11 a.m. at Hilton.

AMES, Iowa – Over the next year, Iowa State University will commemorate Jack Trice, the university’s first Black athlete who aspired to use his education to help Black farmers in the South.

Trice was an Iowa State student of animal husbandry and a member of the Cyclone football and track and field teams. He suffered severe injuries in his second collegiate football game and died in Ames on Oct. 8, 1923. He was 21.

Trice is the namesake of the university’s football stadium, the only one at the nation’s major college football schools to be named for a Black man.

There will be major centennial programs and events to honor him, including a new sculpture at Jack Trice Stadium, a new name for the street just north of the stadium, a lecture series, a University Museums exhibition, a Cyclone football game featuring Jack Trice-era throwback uniforms and a new website, jacktrice100.com. Additional programs and events will be announced over the coming year and posted to the website.

“Jack Trice’s legacy of courage, commitment and character is a source of tremendous pride and inspiration for all Iowa Staters,” said Iowa State President Wendy Wintersteen. “This year-long centennial commemoration is an important way to uplift and share the full breadth of Jack’s story with a broad audience across Iowa and the nation. It’s also an opportunity to recognize our students and student-athletes who exemplify Jack’s ‘I Will’ spirit every day in the classroom, in competition and all across our campus.”

Toyia Younger, Iowa State’s senior vice president for student affairs and chair of the university’s commemoration committee, said the programs and events are an opportunity to learn about Jack Trice as more than an athlete.

“This celebration will honor Iowa State University’s first Black athlete, but it will also shine a light on what Jack Trice accomplished when he wasn’t in uniform,” Younger said. “When most people think of Jack, they think of his contribution to ISU athletics. We are excited for people to understand the depth and breadth of the sacrifices and challenges he made to pave the way for others.”

Here are the commemoration’s major programs:

• Art installation. A concrete and bronze sculpture, “Breaking Barriers,” by Ivan Toth Depeña of Charlotte, North Carolina, will be installed in the Albaugh Family Plaza just outside Jack Trice Stadium later this month. University Museums commissioned the sculpture with support from the University Museums’ Joyce Tomlinson Brewer Fund for Art Acquisition, the Office of the President, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the Athletics Department. University Museums released artist renderings and additional details today: https://conta.cc/3Cv7hAn.
• Jack Trice Way. The section of South Fourth Street directly north of Jack Trice Stadium, between Beach Avenue and University Boulevard, will be renamed Jack Trice Way. The change will require City of Ames action. That action, and the installation of new street signs, will be announced later.
• Lecture series. The university will launch a series of lectures throughout this academic year. The series is intended to inspire meaningful conversations about race and the legacy of Jack Trice. More details will be announced later.
• University Museums exhibition, “Honoring Jack Trice.” The exhibition will be curated by University Museums staff and will be presented at the Christian Petersen Art Museum’s Neva M. Petersen Gallery in Morrill Hall from January 17 to October 10, 2023. Exhibition-related programs and tours, along with additional details, will be announced later.
• Throwback uniforms. Throwback football uniforms will be featured at a Cyclone home game during the 2023 season.

“It is our responsibility, in partnership with the campus community, to keep Jack’s courageous story alive for future generations of Cyclones,” said Jamie Pollard, Iowa State’s director of athletics. “The centennial anniversary of this tragedy affords all of us the opportunity to encourage meaningful dialogue about personal character and commitment to always doing one’s best, by sharing Jack’s story well beyond the Iowa State community.”

Iowa’s offense ranks last in the Big Ten in scoring, rushing and passing. The goal this week is to find a way to score points against an Illinois defense that is giving up just over eight points per game in a 4-1 start to the season. Despite the dismal numbers with the ball sophomore center Logan Jones feels progress is being made.

The Illinois defense has given up only three touchdowns in five games. Hawkeye sophomore receiver Arland Bruce.

Bruce says the offense is focused on what is ahead and not on past failures.

Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery says it is Kris Murray’s time in the spotlight. The junior forward will be looked on to replace his twin brother Keegan, who is now in the NBA after an All American sophomore season.

It will be the first time Kris has been on a team without his brother.

McCaffery says big things are expected from Kris.

Several veteran players return from last year’s team that won the Big Ten Tournament and McCaffery feels the pieces are in place to continue the upward trajectory of the program.

The Hawkeyes take on Truman State on October 31st in an exhibition game.

IRVING, Texas – Iowa State’s Ashley Joens was voted Big 12 Women’s Basketball Preseason Player of the Year, as the Conference released its preseason awards Wednesday. Baylor’s Aijha Blackwell was selected as Preseason Newcomer of the Year and the Bears’ Darianna Littlepage-Buggs was named Preseason Freshman of the Year by a vote of the league’s coaches.

Joens averaged 20.3 points per game in 2021-22, earning the Cheryl Miller Award as the nation’s top small forward for a second consecutive season. She was a unanimous selection to the All-Big 12 First Team and enters the 2022-23 campaign as the nation’s active leading scorer with 2,369 career points. Joens is the third Iowa State player to be selected as Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year and the first since Angie Welle in 2001.

Blackwell becomes the fourth consecutive Bear to earn Preseason Newcomer of the Year, and the eighth in program history. She arrives at Baylor after averaging 14.9 points and a school-record 13.1 rebounds at Missouri in 2021-22, nabbing a spot on the All-SEC Second Team. She enters the season with 40 career double doubles, and has averaged a double double in each of the past two seasons.

Littlepage-Buggs was a McDonald’s All-American who ranked as the No. 17 recruit in the 2022 class by ESPN HoopGurlz. She averaged 15.5 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists for the Classen School of Advanced Studies in 2021-22, helping the team to a state title. She is the eighth Baylor player to be voted Preseason Freshman of the Year, and the third in the past five seasons.

Joens was one of four players tabbed as a unanimous Preseason All-Big 12 selection, joined by Madi Williams (Oklahoma), Taylor Robertson (Oklahoma) and Rori Harmon (Texas). Blackwell, Sarah Andrews (Baylor), Lexi Donarski (Iowa State), Emily Ryan (Iowa State), Holly Kersgieter (Kansas), Serena Sundell (Kansas State) and Aaliyah Moore (Texas) comprise the remainder of the team.
