The Northern Iowa women are on the road tonight (Thursday night), to take Missouri Valley leader Illinois State. The Panthers are 3-2 in the conference race.

That’s UNI coach Tanya Warren. The Panthers are coming off a loss at Drake.

Nodaway Valley’s Maddax and Caelen DeVault both announced their college athletic decisions on Tuesday via social media. Maddax DeVault will continue her basketball career at Simpson College. Caelen DeVault will continue his football career at Central Missouri.

Maddax DeVault has been a stalwart for the Wolverine girls basketball team and was a 1st Team All-State selection last year. DeVault helped Nodaway Valley reach the state semifinals last year and is averaging 22.1 points per game this year.

Caelen DeVault has been a four year varsity football player for the Wolverines. He led the Wolverines in tackles this past season with 84 and on offense hauled in 53 passes for 565 yards.

The twins made their announcements via twitter at the same time on Tuesday afternoon.

Atlantic used a combination of full-court pressure and extended zone defense to force Shenandoah into 22 turnovers and grab a 49-37 win in girls hoops on Tuesday. The Trojans jumped out to a 20-11 lead by the end of the first and held that advantage around 10 points most of the rest of the way.

Freshman Paytn Harter helped the Trojans get out in front early with 14 first quarter points. Harter finished with just one more point on the night, but Jada Jensen got rolling in final three periods and scored 20 points to lead all scorers. A number of Jensen’s points came off of steals and layups on the other end. Shenandoah tried to throw different defensive looks to get the ball away from Jensen and Aubrey Guyer stepped up to do a great job bringing the ball up most of the game. Atlantic Coach Dan Vargason was happy with how the team adjusted.

Coach Vargason liked the shared production the team had on the night.

Madison Huddleson added 7 points in the win and the Trojans improved to 7-9 on the season and earned the season sweep over the Fillies.

Shenandoah was led by 8 points from Macey Finlay and they fall to 9-7 on the season.

Next up for Atlantic is a road trip to Council Bluffs to face St. Albert on Friday night. We’ll have coverage of that game on KJAN.

Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery expects Hawkeye recruit Josh Dix will be able to join the team in the fall. The Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln standout suffered a broken leg in a game at LeMars last week and underwent surgery.

McCaffery is confident Dix will have no trouble bouncing back from the injury.

The 23rd ranked Iowa Hawkeye women open the third quarter with a 16-3 run and raced away to a 107-79 win at Penn State. McKenna Warnock had a career high 25 and Caitlin Clark set a Big ten single game record with 17 assists.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder. The Hawkeyes broke the game open after leading 52-47 at halftime.

Iowa improves to 7-1 in the Big Ten.

The 13th ranked Iowa State women return home Wednesday night to take on Kansas. The Cyclones are 5-2 in the Big 12 after back-to-back lopsided losses to Texas and Baylor.

That’s ISU coach Bill Fennelly. Three of the next four games are at home.

Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger wants to see his team become the aggressor once again when the 23rd ranked Cyclones visit Oklahoma State Wednesday night. The Cyclones are 2-5 in the Big 12 after a 59-44 loss at home to TCU.

Otzelberger says it was a sense of urgency that helped the Cyclones race out to a 12-0 start.

ISU made only three of 26 from three point range against TCU.

Otzelberger says the Cyclones need to work for better shots.

The Cowboys are 3-4 in the Big 12.

Drake takes a 5-2 Missouri Valley record on the road Wednesday night to play Illinois State. The Bulldogs beat the Redbirds 86-75 in Des Moines back on January 12th.

That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries. Illinois State may be without second leading scorer Sy Chatman. The junior forward suffered a knee injury in a loss at Evansville.

The Bulldogs will be in search of their fourth road victory in the Valley.
