AMES, Iowa –The Iowa State men’s basketball team will be competing in the Bahamas this summer for a foreign trip, spending six nights and seven days at the Atlantis Paradise Resort. The Cyclones will play three games against international competition at the Imperial Ballroom, the home of the annual Battle 4 Atlantis each November.
Head coach T.J. Otzelberger said “We are thrilled with the opportunity to play three challenging opponents during our time in the Bahamas, the trip will provide us with quality games against international teams preparing for the FIBA World Cup. It will also help our team grow closer as we start our journey to next season.”
The trip will take place Aug. 4-10, with games played on three of the days. Iowa State will face the Bahamas Select Team on Aug. 6, Zalgiris-2 (Lithuania) on Aug. 7 and Obras Basket (Argentina) to close the trip on Aug. 9. The first two games will be played at 12 p.m. (CT), while the final game will tipoff at 1 p.m. (CT).
Iowa State will be making a summer trip for the fifth time in program history. Previously, the Cyclones have traveled to Mexico (2004), Italy (2011 & 2019) and Spain (2015).
The PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic has a new leader as next month’s tournament gets set to tee off near the Quad Cities. Andrew Lehman is in his first year after replacing long-time tournament director Clair Peterson but the Carroll native is no stranger to the event.
As the smallest market to host a PGA Tour event Lehman says it takes a lot of work and community involvement to make it work.
The involvement of John Deere has been critical. Earlier this month the company announced a three-year extension as title sponsor through 2026.
The John Deere Classic is July sixth through the ninth.
The Williamsburg softball team has a goal of a state title this summer. The Raiders are 20-3 and top ranked in class 3A. They are coming off a loss over the weekend to class 5A second ranked Ankeny. Senior pitcher Peyton Driscoll is 10-1 and has an earned run average of under one.
Balance on offense has been a key and several young players are a factor. Four sophomores are hitting .300 or better.
Among the victories this season was a 4-3 triumph over a second ranked Davenport Assumption team that has won four state titles in the last six years.
Driscoll would love to close her high school career with a state title.
Driscoll will play at Kirkwood Community College next year. Williamsburg returns to action tonight at Center Point-Urbana.
The top ranked teams remain the same in the latest Radio Iowa/Baseball Coaches Association High School Poll. Todd Kimm reports.

Former Iowa star T.J. Hockenson likes the potential of the Minnesota Vikings offense. The Vikings wrapped up mini-camp last week. Hockenson had 60 catches, including three touchdowns after being acquired from the Lions midway through last season. Minnesota finished 13-4 and won the NFC North.
As he prepares for his fifth season in the NFL, Hockenson has 246 career receptions and 18 touchdowns.
With quarterback Kirk Cousins and receiver Justin Jefferson returning the Vikings have high hopes for next season.
