The Riverside Bulldogs football team will play host to an exciting Friday night match-up against the ACGC Chargers. The Bulldogs come in with a 3-1 record after defeating IKM-Manning 28-20 on the road last week. Head Coach Darrell Frain says his team’s success has come from playing as a unit.
One of the most lethal parts of Riverside’s game is the ground attack. Though four games, the Bulldogs have amassed 1197 yards on the ground, with 803 of those yards coming from junior Jaxon Gordon. Halfway through the regular season, Gordon leads the Western Iowa Conference in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and offensive touchdowns while he ranks second in all-purpose yards. Frain contributes Gordon’s willingness to have the ball in his hands as the reason for his success.
On defense, it’s been the senior leaders that have contributed to Riverside’s efforts. Senior Kellen Oliver is tied for the WIC lead in interceptions, while AC Roller is ranked seventh in the WIC with 31 total tackles and shares the team lead in tackles for loss with Jett Rose at 5.5. When talking about Roller and Rose, Frain said they have slightly different styles that usually end up with the same result.
The Bulldogs defense will have a tough challenge ahead with the 4-0 Chargers, who are seeking their second straight undefeated season. Expect a run-heavy attack as ACGC has three players that are averaging 100 yards or more per game on the ground. In a game like this Frain knows that keeping the Chargers behind schedule and forcing a turnover or two will be critical.
You can catch all the action Friday night on KJAN with pre-game coverage starting at 6:30 pm with kickoff at 7 pm.
Although the AHSTW volleyball team has struggled through its first 22 games, it hasn’t been for lack of fighting spirit. The young Lady Vikes have been in hard-fought battles, including taking sets against tough teams in Sidney and Coon-Rapids Bayard. Head coach Kelsey Fraher says her team’s fighting spirit and drive to improve are things she appreciates about her group.
The defense has been one of the strong points for AHSTW this season. The Lady Vikes have two players in the top 20 in digs, including Western Iowa conference Leader Halle Goodman. Goodman has amassed 211 digs in 22 matches. Fraher asserted her squad’s effort and performance on the defensive side of the ball have been phenomenal.
Despite the defensive success, attacking has been one area where AHSTW has struggled this season. Despite the struggles sophomore Kendra Hansen is excelling. She currently sits 3rd in the conference with 269 assists. Fraher says her experience her ability to find her teammates and all-around play have helped the Lady Vikes progress.
The name of the Game for the Lady Vikes is continual improvement. Although Fraher has seen improvements throughout the season, she says her team can still improve their intensity and consistency.
AHSTW will host IKM-Manning Thursday with the contest scheduled for 7:15 pm.
Drake opens defense of its Pioneer League Football championship at home on Saturday against perennial power the University of San Diego. After opening with a win at Eastern Washington The Bulldogs lost at fifth ranked South Dakota. San Diego is 2-1 against a challenging schedule.
That’s Drake coach Todd Stepsis. San Diego has won seven league titles since 2014 and look to be in bounce back mode after going 4-7 in 2023.
Stepsis is concerned about a San Diego defense that has already scored three touchdowns this season.

Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht says the Cyclones are focused on their Big 12 opener and not the big picture. With a 3-0 record and a number 18 national ranking the Cyclones are considered an early contender for the new expanded college football playoff. They are a nearly two touchdown favorite heading into their league opener at 1-3 Houston.
Becht says the Cougars showed their potential in a near upset of Oklahoma on the road.
Becht says the Houston defense makes it a priority to create turnovers.
Becht says the Cyclone running game made a lot of progress during non-conference play.
Iowa State defensive lineman Domonique Orange says the 18th ranked Cyclones are acting like the underdog as they get ready for their Big 12 opener at Houston. The Cyclones are 3-0 and a nearly two touchdown favorite against a Cougar squad that is 1-3 after a 34-0 loss at Cincinnati.
Orange says the Cyclones are going to Houston with a chip on their shoulder.
Iowa State ranks ninth in the country in points allowed but Orange says the Big 12 race is a new challenge.
The defense is preparing to face two quarterbacks. Senior Donovan Smith and sophomore Zeon Chriss both played in the loss to Cincinnati.
