The Griswold Tigers boys basketball team fell to 2-3 with their loss to the Sidney Cowboys on Tuesday night. Although the Tigers fought hard from start to finish, they weren’t able to overcome an incredible effort from Braedon Godfread as he and the Cowboys handed Griswold a 75-44 defeat.

The opening possessions of the game were back and forth. Peyton Cook responded to Godfread’s opening basket with a 3-pointer to give Griswold an early lead. Throughout the game, Griswold’s offense was relatively effective. The Tigers were able to move the ball, create some open looks, and hit the three ball. Connor Bowers, Auden Wilson, and Cook all finished the first half with five points. However, Griswold’s offense was unable to keep up with Godfread as his 10 field goals and 22 first half points gave Sidney a 44-28 lead at the break.

Although Godfread stole the show, the rest of the Cowboys played a key part in the win. Sidney’s ball movement was clean, precise, and quick, opening lanes for Godfread to drive through. When needed they also shot the three-ball well as Grant Whitehead and Carter Jorgenson each added multiple threes.  Godfread finished the game with 34 points.

Although the second half didn’t play a part in the outcome, Griswold remained scrappy. Connor Bowers would add another field goal and 3-pointer as he led the Tigers in scoring finishing with 10 points. Bode Wyman wasn’t far behind finishing with nine. Although the Tigers didn’t get the outcome they wanted head coach Ryan Lockwood was happy with his team’s four quarter effort.

Lockwood also knows that there is going to be a learning curve with a new system.

Griswold will finish their pre-Christmas schedule on the road at Missouri Valley and Lockwood is looking forward to the matchup and the opportunity to rebound.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 pm on Thursday.

The Griswold girls’ basketball team kept it competitive in the first half against Sidney but struggled in the second to lose at home 54-38 on Tuesday night. Ava Osborn led the Cowgirls with 15 points, including 5 baskets in the second half. Addyson Foster had 8 to help Sidney get the win.

Griswold started slow but kept pace in the first quarter to only be down 13-5. Griswold’s Amanda Houser had one triple in the first half to try and keep her team in the game. Yet a modest Sidney run to end the half pushed the lead to 12 by halftime making it 25-17 Cowgirls. In the third quarter, Sidney learned how to crack Griswold’s presses, and the offense became electric as the Cowgirls blew the game open to a 42-24 lead by the end of the third. The Tigers had their best offensive performance in the fourth, but it would not be enough to overcome Sidney’s six triples in the second half.

Griswold Head Coach Aaron Houser said it was nice to see the tenacious effort by both Carsyn Adams and Amanda Houser throughout the game.

Looking back on the game, coach Houser gave credit to the consistent pressure that the Cowgirls brought defensively.

The loss put Griswold at 2-3 on the year with their next game this Thursday against Missouri Valley. Coach Houser plans on improving his team over the break to help them reach their potential

Sidney improves to 3-2 with their victory and won’t return to the court till after Christmas break.

Iowa State men’s basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger has agreed to a contract extension, Todd Kimm reports.

ATLANTA — Former University of Iowa two-sport athlete, Paul Krause, was included on the East-West Shrine Bowl’s All-Century Team. The announcement came on Tuesday to help celebrate the upcoming 100th edition of the oldest college football all-star game in the country.

Krause (1961-63) was a two-way starter for the Hawkeye football team at receiver, running back and defensive back. As a senior in 1963, he was a second-team All-Big Ten honoree and was selected four all-star games, including the East-West Shrine game. He finished his collegiate career with 718 receiving yards, 263 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. Krause also played baseball at Iowa, earning All-America accolades as a sophomore.

Krause was drafted by Washington in the 1964 NFL Draft second round. Krause was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection, three-time first-team All-Pro, three-time second-team All-Pro and 1969 NFL Champion as a member of the Minnesota Vikings. He led the NFL in interceptions as a rookie in 1964 with 12, including interceptions in seven straight contests.

In addition to the All-Century Team, the College Football Hall of Fame unveiled an exhibit surrounding the 100th East-West Shrine Bowl.

“This is an exciting opportunity for the College Football Hall of Fame and fans to celebrate the history and significance of the East-West Shrine Bowl, the oldest college football all-star game in the country,” said Denis Crawford, Ph.D., College Football Hall of Fame Historian and Exhibit Designer. “We’re happy to help kick off the celebration with our exhibit and we look forward to the 100th East-West Shrine Bowl in January.”

In an era known for opt outs Iowa State and Miami appear to be all in for their meeting in the Pop Tarts Bowl. Hurricane star quarterback Cam Ward says he is playing and Cyclone receiver Jaylin Noel says he and the other ISU seniors will play in the December 28th game in Orlando.

It matches two teams that barely missed out on a spot in the college football playoff.

Noel says the Cyclones want to end a record breaking season with a win. ISU is 10-3 and will be searching for its first 11 win season in program history.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell on the lack of opt outs for both teams.

Campbell credits the senior class for being all in on the bowl game.

Miami ended the regular season with a record of 10-2.

IHSAA and IHSSN have reached a resolution in their media rights dispute which will make finals round livestreams free for viewers in 2024-25 and conclude their longstanding agreement following this athletic year.

The settlement ends litigation which has been ongoing since the IHSAA filed its initial petition in June 2023. IHSSN has been the IHSAA’s exclusive rights holder for championship events since 2006.

IHSSN will continue to provide for select IHSAA state tournament events for viewing via cable network, broadcast network, www.ihssn.com, and the Watch IHSSN app through the 2025 IHSAA State Baseball Tournament.

IHSSN made state tournament finals available for free streaming starting with last month’s football championships. Earlier state tournament rounds (quarterfinals, semifinals, etc.) will require a fee if viewing via livestream.

Media rights for IHSAA events will return to the IHSAA effective Aug. 1, 2025.
