CAM Looks For Homecoming Win against Exira-EHK

Sports

October 3rd, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

It’s the annual homecoming game for the CAM Cougars as they host a familiar foe in the Exira-EHK Spartans. The Cougars come off a come from behind 54-46 win against Glidden-Ralston and Head Coach Nick Kauffman says playing a lot cleaner and complex in the second half was crucial.

CAM threw for a season-high 206 yards in the win last week. Kauffman says Sophomore Zach Kauffman is maturing week by week in the quarterback role.

In the backfield, Senior Collin Bower has run for 357 yards and ten touchdowns including a five-touchdown game against Bedford a few weeks ago.

Bower alongside Junior Kason Calhoun lead the defense with both players recording over 30 tackles in 2025. Kalhoun comes into week with 45 tackles and 38 of those are solo.

The Cougars know they have to be ready for Exira-EHK’s diverse playbook.

Kauffman says the key to victory for his team is limiting mistakes and playing their style of football. You can catch all the action on KJAN with pregame coverage at 6:30 pm. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 pm.

Sports

October 2nd, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa forward Hannah Stuelke was named First Team Preseason All-Big Ten by the coaches and media, the conference announced on Thursday.

The Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native returns as Iowa’s top scorer and rebounder for her senior season, averaging 12.7 ppg and 7.7 rpg. Stuelke started 32 games in 2024-25 and was named Second Team All-Big Ten in back-to-back seasons. In her freshman season, she was named the Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year.

Stuelke is 1-of-20 Hawkeyes all-time to have amassed 1,100+ points and 600+ rebounds in their career.

Fans are invited to attend “Hawkeye Hoops from Downtown presented by HyVee” on Friday, Oct. 17, at the outdoor basketball court behind Burge Residence Hall beginning at 5:30 p.m. (CT).

Van Aalsum, Wetjen Named September Student-Athletes of the Month

Sports

October 2nd, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa student-athletes Dionne van Aalsum (field hockey) and Kaden Wetjen (football) were named September’s Student-Athletes of the Month, the Iowa Student-Athlete Advisory Committee announced on Thursday.

Van Aalsum, a junior from Castricum, Netherlands, scored 13 goals and recorded two assists during the month of September. She leads the nation with 16 goals and averages 2.0 goals per game. During the team’s undefeated month, van Aalsum scored three game-winning goals. She was efficient with a .333 shooting percentage, while holding a shots-on-goal percentage of .667. Van Aalsum scored on two of her three penalty stroke attempts in September.

Wetjen, a senior from Williamsburg, Iowa, was twice named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week in September. He leads the team with 536 all-purpose yards through five games. Wetjen ranks first in the nation in combined kick return yardage (465), first in punt return average (31.5) and second in kick return average (35.5).

In Iowa’s win over UMass, Wetjen amassed a career-high 216 return yards (182 punt and 34 kickoff) and a career-high 236 all-purpose yards with two touchdowns. The 182 punt return yards are the fourth-most in a single game in Big Ten history. Wetjen’s 95-yard punt return touchdown against UMass made history, tying a Big Ten and Iowa record. It was the longest punt return in Kinnick Stadium history. His 20-yard touchdown run on a reverse against the Minutemen was his first career rushing touchdown and makes Wetjen what is believed to be the first player in Iowa history to have a rushing, receiving, punt return and kickoff return score in his career.

In the win at Rutgers, Wetjen had a game-best 183 all-purpose yards, including tying an Iowa record with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on the opening kickoff. The 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown is the sixth in school history and the second of Wetjen’s career. He is the second Hawkeye to return an opening kickoff for a touchdown (C.J. Jones vs. USC in the 2003 Orange Bowl).

Sports

October 2nd, 2025 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State safety Ta’Shawn James believes depth will help the 14th ranked Cyclones overcome key injuries the secondary as they get ready to visit Cincinnati. Starting corners Jeremiah Cooper and Jontez Williams are both lost for the season with knee injuries.

James believes the newcomers will step up.

The concern this week for the Cyclone defense is Cincinnati dual threat quarterback Brendan Sorsby.

Drake opens bid for third straight PFL crown

Sports

October 2nd, 2025 by Ric Hanson

Drake could regain the services of starting quarterback Chase Spellman when the Bulldogs open the Pioneer League Football race at home on Saturday against Valparaiso. Spellman suffered an upper body injury in a season opening win over Upper Iowa but missed road losses at second ranked South Dakota State and number 21 South Dakota. With Spellman sidelined, true freshman Logan Inagawa filled in a passed for 304 yards while rushing for 131.

That’s Drake coach Joe Woodley. The Bulldogs will be in search of a third straight PFL title this season.

Woodley says Inagawa’s ability to run made the ground game more effective against the two Missouri Valley teams.

Woodley says the formula for another title run will be the same. During the past two seasons the Bulldogs have won 10 games decided by 10 points or less.

Valparaiso opens conference play with a record of 1-3.
