The Woodbine Football team has completed an undefeated regular season and clinched a playoff berth for the third consecutive year. The Tigers enter the postseason scoring 50+ points in every game and holding all seven opponents to under 200 rushing yards combined on the season. Head Coach Dustin Crook says his team needs to stick to their game to be successful on the journey to the dome.

The Tigers are led by Senior Quarterback Brodyn Pryor with over 1,100 yards through the air and 22 touchdown passes on the season, making him as elusive as he can be in the eight-man game.

Woodbine’s receiving core features six players with 100+ receiving yards and multiple touchdowns. Many of those athletes play defense just as effectively.

The Tigers are preparing for the strong ground game from Exira-EHK.

Woodbine fell in the second-round last year but in 2025 their expectations go beyond father than that.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Drake University women’s basketball has been picked to finish fourth in the race for the 2025-26 Missouri Valley Conference crown, the league announced today. The preseason poll, as voted on by Valley head coaches, communications directors, and a panel of various media personnel, was unveiled this morning.

Drake was slotted fourth with a total of 371 points including four first-place votes.

Belmont, who enters the season as the league favorite, received 25 of 44 possible votes for the top spot for a total of 446 points. Defending MVC regular-season and tournament champions Murray State was selected second with 13 first-place votes and 436 points. Illinois State rounded out the top four with two first-place votes and 387 points.

The Bulldogs will be on the hardwood next week for an Oct. 28 exhibition game against Dakota Wesleyan in Des Moines. Drake’s regular season slate will begin Nov. 3 with a trip to Eastern Illinois.

Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski says decision making on third down will be critical when the Hawkeyes host Minnesota on Saturday. The Gopher defense registered nine sacks in a 24-6 win over Nebraska.

Gronowski says an effective run game will help avoid third and long.

Gronowski suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of a September 27th loss to Indiana and says it continues to improve each week.

Iowa State junior corner Tre Bell says he is gaining more confidence with each game. Bell was thrust into the starting lineup after season ending knee injuries to Jeremiah Cooper and Jontez Williams. The Cyclones take a 5-2 record into Saturday’s home game against 11th ranked BYU.

Bell says tackling will be a key for the secondary against BYU. The Cougars average nearly 233 yards of rushing per game.*

Bell says coming off two straight losses the Cyclones need to get back to the way they started the season.

Sophomore safety Marcus Neal says the Cyclones are coming off their bye week and ready for the stretch run.

Neal says the BYU offensive will offer a physical challenge

A veteran Iowa offensive line faces a big challenge on Saturday against the Minnesota defensive front. The Gophers like to vary their looks and it helped lead to nine sacks in a 24-6 win over Nebraska. Hawkeye center Logan Jones.

Jones says the Gophers will offer a unique challenge.

Jones says Minnesota is especially effective on third and long.

Sophomore left tackle Trevor Lauck on the challenge the Gopher defense provides.

Lauck says the Gophers try to create confusion up front.

Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht feels the bye week came at the right time for the Cyclones. ISU will be out to snap a two-game losing skid on Saturday by hosting 11th ranked BYU.

Last season the Cyclones dropped back-to-back games before rallying to make the Big 12 title game.

Becht says he used the bye week to focus on what he did to help the Cyclones jump out to a 5-0 start.

Becht says a key will be how the Cyclones handle an outstanding BYU defensive line.
