IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa sophomore RHP Brody Brecht was named a third-team All-American it was announced Wednesday by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.
It is the third straight year a Hawkeye starting pitcher has earned All-American distinction (Adam Mazur and Trenton Wallace). Brecht is the 11th player to earn All-American honors under head coach Rick Heller and the 25th Hawkeye all-time.
Brecht earned third-team honors after going 5-2 with a 3.74 ERA in 16 starts. The right-hander posted four quality starts and fanned 109 batters over 77 innings. The Ankeny, Iowa native leads the nation in hits allowed per nine innings (4.32).
Brecht was named a freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball and Perfect Game a year ago.
The Hawkeyes finished the 2023 season with a 44-16 overall record with the 44 wins tied for most in program history. Iowa finished third in the Big Ten regular season standings, advanced to the Big Ten Tournament finals and the team won two games at the Terre Haute Regional in Iowa’s first NCAA Regional appearance since 2017.
An Iowa native has gone from a fan to leading the College World Series in Omaha. Amy Hornocker is in her first year as Executive Director. Her first experience at the College World Series was as a baseball manager at Des Moines East High School.
As she said in the previous cut her first experience at the event was in 1998 at Rosenblatt Stadium.
After graduating from Iowa State, Hornocker took a job as an intern at the College World Series, would later work 10 years for the Omaha Sports Commission before returning to the CWS in 2017 for a marketing position.
Hornocker says her experience working for the event helped make the transition to Executive Director a smooth one.
Hornocker says thousands of fans from her home state will be heading to Omaha for an event the city has hosted since 1950.
The College World Series begins Friday afternoon when Oral Roberts plays TCU.
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State women’s basketball head coach Bill Fennelly announced the addition of Alisa Williams to the 2023-24 roster on Wednesday. Williams joins the Cyclones after spending her freshman season with LSU as part of the Tigers’ National Championship squad.
“We are excited that Alisa will be joining the Iowa State family,” said Fennelly. “Alisa was someone we recruited very hard in high school. She has a very versatile game that fits the way we like to play. I think using this upcoming season as a redshirt year will be very beneficial to Alisa in all areas.”
Alisa Williams // 6-2 // F // Denton, Texas
Williams appeared in 20 games for LSU, playing a total of 58 minutes for the Tigers as a true freshman. She scored 18 points and pulled down 20 rebounds while adding two blocks as a reserve. She tallied career-highs in points (10) and rebounds (7) against Western Carolina on November 13th as LSU ran away with a 107-34 victory.
As a left-handed guard for Braswell High School, Williams led the Bengals to a 35-3 record as a senior while advancing to the Class 6A Region I championship game. She averaged a combined 17.8 points per game and 7.0 rebounds per game over her junior and senior seasons and was named the Denton Record-Chronicle’s All-Area Offensive Player of the Year as a junior.
As a sophomore, Williams helped lead Braswell to its first District Championship and earned a spot on the Texas Girls Coaches Association Class 5A All-State Team. Williams played for her mother, head coach Lisa Williams, for three seasons at Braswell after transferring from Guyer High School at the conclusion of her freshman year.
(Des Moines, Iowa) – Changes are coming soon to the way Iowans can hunt and trap raccoons, and how farmers can deal with raccoon depredation issues. According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, raccoons were the focus of a bill approved during the 2023 Iowa legislative session, allowing landowners or tenants to dispatch raccoons causing damage to their agricultural property, outside of the city limits. Landowners may shoot or trap raccoons using cage or dog-proof traps. A license is not required and landowners do not need to notify the DNR before shooting or trapping. That bill was signed into law by Governor Reynolds and becomes effective on July 1st.
The other related change relaxes the rules for hunting and trapping raccoons for everyone. The new rules, developed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and approved by the Natural Resource Commission of the Iowa DNR, allows for year-round hunting and trapping of raccoons on private land.
While the raccoon season will be continuously open, during the time of year outside of the furharvester season, only firearms, cage traps or dog-proof traps are legal methods of take. During the furharvester season, trappers may use other lawful traps normally allowed during the trapping season. Hunters or trappers pursuing raccoons on private land they do not own are required to have a valid furharvester license.
The new raccoon rules are currently in effect.

The Trojans faced off twice against the Saintes in Atlantic. It ended up being a series of two completely different played games. The Trojans came out swinging, winning their first game 7-3 with tight fielding and precise pitching.
Things changed in the second game for the Trojans as errors started to pile up and the fundamentals were slipping. They lost 5-3 and Coach Hinzmann noted the changes that are needed to be made.
A major contributor to the Trojans winning their first game was Riley Wood. She held the Saintes to 3 runs, 2 hits, and 6 strikeouts while pitching a full game.
Wood was summoned again in game two and retired the side in her first inning of relief pitching. The effort she made was not lost on Coach Hinzmann.
The competitiveness of the two games showed Coach Hinzmann that going forward they still have a few things to work on.
St. Albert’s record changes to 12-7 and the Trojans are now 11-10 as they head to Denison-Schleswig on Thursday.
Former Iowa All-American Tyler Linderbaum says a successful rookie season has helped him get ready for the upcoming campaign. Linderbaum started every game at center last season for the Baltimore Ravens in being named to the NFL All-Rookie team.

Linderbaum says the transition to the NFL was a huge challenge.
Linderbaum says he has been trying to improve his pass blocking.
The Ravens finished 10-7 last season before falling to the Bengals in the AFC Wild Card round.
