State wrestling tournament in Iowa features new format

Sports

February 15th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

The state wrestling tournament is underway in Des Moines and the new format has been well received. The dual tournament was moved to early February at Xtream Arena in Coralville. Since 2012 it had been held the day before the start of the traditional tournament in Wells Fargo Arena. Lewie Curtis is the wrestling administrator for the Iowa High School Athletic Association.

In previous years many coaches were reluctant to expose their top wrestlers to injury prior a day before the individual tournament.

This year’s traditional tournament features an expanded bracket of 24 competitors in each weight class. That means an additional 336 wrestlers will compete this week.

One thing that has not changed is ticket demand for Saturday night’s championship session. It remains one of the toughest tickets to get in the state.

Frederickson Fund helps with Trojan Bowl signage

News, Sports

February 15th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund has added signage to the new Trojan Bowl with the help of JJ Design. According to fund spokesperson (Trevor’s mom) Melanie Petty, they “Notice this past fall that the press box looked a little to plain so with permission from the Atlantic Schools we worked with JJ Design and came up with a design that shows you are in Trojan Country when you come to a football game!”

Melanie said “Trev played football all through junior/senior high so it was a good fit for the fund.  Although spring hasn’t even gotten here we’re already looking forward to watching games this fall.” The monies raised through the annual TFred Memorial Golf Tournament are given back to the community that Trevor loved.

This year’s T-Fred Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday, June 17th at the Atlantic Golf and Country Club.  Teams have already started to register.  A silent auction will be held in the clubhouse all day and food will be available through the club.  Petty said “We look forward to a great day of golf, friendship and family all while raising money to support great things!”

No. 7 Iowa women host Wisconsin Wednesday night

Sports

February 15th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Iowa women’s basketball coach Lisa Bluder says her seventh ranked Hawkeyes won’t take Wisconsin lightly on Wednesday night. The Hawkeyes beat the Badgers 102-71 in Madison back in early December and have won the last 24 games in the series.

Wisconsin is 3-11 in the Big Ten and coming off a win at Minnesota.

Bluder wants to see a solid effort on both ends of the court.

Northern Iowa hosts Drake Wednesday night

Sports

February 15th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Drake takes a share of the Missouri Valley lead on the road to Northern Iowa Wednesday night. The Bulldogs have won five of the last six in the series but the last three meetings have gone to overtime.

That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries who expects another close game.

Drake won a double overtime thriller in Des Moines back on February first and UNI coach Ben Jacobson says Bulldog point guard Roman Penn was the difference when it counted.

The Panthers enter the contest on a five game losing skid.

Jacobson says in a jumbled Valley race it is the little things that make the difference.

No. 19 Iowa State hosts No. 22 TCU Wednesday night

Sports

February 15th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State looks to regain its winning ways on Wednesday night when the 19th ranked Cyclones host 22nd ranked TCU. The Cyclones have dropped four of their last five and slipped to 7-5 in the Big-12 but coach T.J. Otzelberger says nobody has hit the panic button.

Otzelberger says everybody has gone through some struggles and a tough Big-12 race is the reason.

TCU has battled through some key injuries and the Horned Frogs enter the game on a three game losing skid.

TCU standout junior guard Mike Miles has been out with a knee injury. He could return for the game.

Senior forward Tre King says despite their recent struggles the Cyclones remain confident.

The Cyclones remain in the Big-12 title hunt and senior forward Jaz Kunc says they need to focus on the things that got them to this point.

ISU is coming off its first home loss of the season to Oklahoma State and King says the Cyclones weren’t as tough at crunch time as they needed to be.
