December 3rd, 2020 by admin

Trojan LogoThe Atlantic-CAM wrestling team is set to start their 2020-21 season tonight with a home dual against Underwood. The Trojans have had to adjust the schedule a number of times leading up to the season and more changes are likely to come, adjusting to the pandemic. Atlantic-CAM Head Coach Tim Duff said the team is just thankful and excited that they get to compete.

The Trojans will have a mix of experience and youth once again. Coach Duff said the senior class that includes 4 very experienced wrestlers will lead the way.

Joe Weaver comes into the season ranked 8th at 132lbs and junior Kadin Stutzman is ranked 9th at 160lbs in Class 2A. The Trojans have had a very successful dual run in the conference recently and Coach Duff said the goals will remain the same.

Atlantic-CAM will start with a strong test against Underwood. The Eagles are ranked 8th in Class 1A as a team and feature three top-ten ranked individuals. Gable Porter is top ranked in 1A at 113, Stevie Barnes is third at 126, and Chris Gardner is 10th at 220. That dual starts at 6:00 p.m. tonight at Atlantic High School.

No. 12 Iowa State can clinch Big 12 title game spot with win

Sports

December 3rd, 2020 by Ric Hanson

(By The Associated Press undefined) – No. 12 Iowa State can ensure a spot in the Big 12 championship game with a home win over West Virginia. The Cyclones are home against West Virginia on Saturday. They are also in the title game if No. 13 Oklahoma, No. 19 Oklahoma State or Kansas State lose.

Iowa State has never played in any conference title game. Five-time defending Big 12 champion Oklahoma is more than a three-touchdown favorite at home against Baylor. Oklahoma State plays at TCU, which has won three of its last four games. West Virginia’s final two regular-season games are against the Cyclones and Sooners.

(By ERIC OLSON AP College Football Writer) – Former Iowa State football coach Jim Walden is enjoying the success of the 12th-ranked Cyclones. Iowa State is 7-2 overall and has secured at least a share of the Big 12 regular-season title. The 82-year-old Walden is retired in Idaho. He says he watches every Iowa State game on television.
