The Atlantic girls golf team brings back five letterwinners from last year’s squad to lead the way this season. The lone senior out of that group is Reagan Leonard. Junior’s Abby Smith and Lexi Noelck and Sophomores Belle Berg and Abby Muller all saw significant action last season. Head Coach Kathy Hobson said they expect that playing experience to be an advantage.

Coach Hobson said in order to improve from year to year she just tells the girls to get out on the course as much as they can and if nothing else work on the short game can pay big dividends.

The weather has made it difficult to get out as much as the team would like but Coach Hobson said that’s true for everyone. She hopes the team focuses on the challenge of each course.

The Trojans are set to open up with a dual at Creston on Thursday.

Iowa offensive tackle Jack Plumb hopes for a big senior season as the Hawkeyes go through spring drills. Plumb was part of an offensive line that struggled during much of last year’s 10-4 season.

Plumb says all the offensive linemen are working at a variety of positions.

Northern Iowa football coach Mark Farley says the transfer portal has forced coaches to speed up the process of developing players. FCS programs are being affected by players who want to move on to bigger programs or find a place that provides more playing time.

Farley says there is more pressure to get players on the field earlier.

Farley says the transfer portal has changed how coaches manage rosters and it is only the beginning.

Farley says he would like to see some type of limit on player movement and points to the recent NCAA basketball tournament where a player was at his fifth different school.

The Panthers close out spring drills on April 23rd.

Temple guard Jeremiah Williams announced on Monday that he is headed to Iowa State. The 6’5″ versatile guard picked Iowa State over offers from Illinois, DePaul, and Georgia.

Williams spent two seasons at Temple but wanted to transfer to be closer to his hometown of Chicago. Williams averaged 9.5 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game for the Owls this season before missing the last eight games with a shoulder injury.

Williams didn’t take long to make a transfer decision after entering the portal in late March.
