(Radio Iowa) – Joe Troche says Decorah is the right fit for his family and Luther is the right fit for him professionally. Troche was named Luther’s new football coach and takes over a program that has not enjoyed a winning season since 2017 and finished 0-10 this past season.

Troche had been an assistant coach at St. Olaf of Minnesota and says Luther is a similar type of school.

Troche says their style of play will fit their personnel.

(Radio Iowa) – Northern Iowa outscored Jackson State 21-2 to start the second half in a 66-56 win in Cedar Falls. The Panthers erased a seven point halftime deficit to improve to 3-5.

That’s UNI coach Ben Jacobson. After being held to 25 points in the opening half the Panthers scored 41 in the second half.

AJ Green finished with 24 points and says the Panthers focused on defense during an eight-day layoff.

Dayton Templeton’s three point attempt that would of tied the game fell short with about 12 seconds left and Kuemper Catholic was able to poke the rebound up the court and run out the clock for a 67-64 win on Tuesday in Atlantic. Atlantic had rallied from down 8 late in the 4th to give themselves a chance for the tie. Atlantic Head Coach Derek Hall thought they did some good things to have an opportunity late.

After a slow start for both teams Atlantic outscored the Knights 20-14 in the second quarter to lead 28-25 at half. The Knights grabbed the lead back early in the third and led by as much as 10 at two different points of the second half. The Knights went just 10-21 at the free throw line in the second half, and 11 of 26 for the game, helping Atlantic stay within striking distance. Coach Hall thought the Trojans did a better job of attacking the paint in the second half.

Kuemper was led by 12 points from Isaac Evans, 11 from Dawson Gifford, and 9 from Dennis Vonnahme. The Knights improved to 2-4 and picked up wins on back to back nights.

Atlantic got 17 from Colton Rasmussen, all in the second half. Dayton Templeton added 13 and Carter Pellett had 12 on four threes in the game. Atlantic fell to 0-5 and will travel to Lewis Central for their next game on Friday.

The Atlantic girls basketball team got within four points of Kuemper Catholic for a long stretch of the fourth quarter but couldn’t get the key basket needed to get closer. Kuemper came away with a 44-38 win and improved to 2-4 on the season.

It was a very close game throughout the first half with both offenses struggling mightily against zone defenses from both squads. Kuemper hit a couple shots in the last minute of the half to lead 17-15 at the break. The Knights then opened the second half on a 7-0 run but Atlantic quickly responded with an 10-2 run to get back within 1. Kuemper led by 5 at the end of the third and hung on with a lead near that mark the rest of the way.

Akuet Malek led the Knights with 12 points, Catherine Mayhall had 11, and Kora Thomsen added 10. The Knights will travel to Greene County on Saturday.

Atlantic got 20 points from Paytn Harter and 13 from Jada Jensen. The Trojans fall to 1-6 on the season and will next up host Lewis Central on Friday before traveling to Nodaway Valley on Saturday.
