The AHSTW Vikings played about as close to a complete game as possible on Saturday afternoon in Council Bluffs. The Vikings used tight defense and efficient offense to roll past St. Albert 83-42.

The VIkings bursted out to a 23-7 lead by the end of the first and led 44-23 by halftime. The Vikings came in with three players averaging in double figures and they all hit that mark by the break. Raydden Grobe, Kyle Sternberg, and Brayden Lund each had 12 by half. The VIkings didn’t let off the gas in the second half and Grobe poured in 11 more in the third quarter to finish with a game high 23. Lund added 21. AHSTW Head Coach GG Harris said it was great as a coach to watch how well his guys rotated and executed on defense.

The Vikings improved to 6-0 heading into the holiday break. Coach Harris said he’s got a motivated bunch.

St. Albert falls back to 3-3 on the season with the loss and they will take on Kuemper Catholic next Tuesday. AHSTW will face Treynor coming out of the break on January 3rd.

UNI picked up a road win over Marshall on Saturday 75-60. AJ Green led the charge with 29 points and Nate Heise and Cole Henry each added 12 for the Panthers.

AJ Green moved into 2nd place on the UNI career 3-pointers made list. He needs 63 more to pass Matt Bohannon for the record.

The Panthers improve to 4-5 on the season. They now head to Hawaii to play in the Diamond Head Classic. They will face Liberty at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

That spurt put the Cougars out in front by ten at 32-22 and they hung on for the win.

(Radio Iowa)  -With two Iowa football teams in bowl games in the same Florida stadium just three days apart late this month, many hundreds of Iowans are making holiday plans in the Sunshine State. John Roberts, assistant manger of the Triple-A branch in metro Des Moines, says travel packages for Cyclone and Hawkeye fans abound and those all-in-one packages make the most financial and logistical sense.

Both universities’ alumni associations are offering all-inclusive packages to Orlando through third-party vendors which promise to be filled with fight song-singing rallies and post-game festivities.

Orlando is an entertainment wonderland focused on all of its world-class magnets including Disney World, Epcot, Universal and SeaWorld.

Iowa State will meet Clemson in the Cheez-It Bowl on December 29th, while Iowa will play Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl on January 1st — both at Camping World Stadium in downtown Orlando.
