Braden Wessel returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown with 1:47 left to put Audubon on top of WACO 34-30. A few plays later Manny Beisswenger came up with a game clinching interception to send the Wheelers back to the dome for the second time in three years. Audubon Head Coach Sean Birks said it was a hard fought win.
The Audubon defense had just came up with a big stop to force WACO to punt the ball back before Wessel took it to the house. Coach Birks was elated to see Wessel’s big moment.
Audubon continues a historic run for the program. The Wheelers were Runners-Up in 2019 and fell just short of the semis last year. Coach Birks said he knew this group had a chance to be special when they got to high school.
The Wheelers improved to 10-1 on the season and will get a rematch for the semifinals. Audubon will face the CAM Cougars next Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. Our coverage will start at 9:00 a.m. on KJAN.
For the first time in school history the CAM Cougars are headed to the State Football Semifinals. The Cougars made it happen with a dominating 64-13 win over Newell-Fonda in Anita on Thursday night.
The Cougars set the tone from the outset. They forced a Mustangs punt on their opening possession and then three plays later Lane Spieker scampered 66 yards for the first of his 7 touchdown runs in the game to put CAM in front. Newell-Fonda responded with an 8-play drive that ended in paydirt on a Mason Dicks 2 yard run. The Mustangs failed on the 2-point conversion and they wouldn’t get a chance to tie or lead the rest of the way. The Cougars got a 45 yard touchdown run from Cade Ticknor on the next possession to go up 10 at 16-6. CAM went on to score on their next four drives to take a commanding 48-6 lead by half.
CAM Head Coach Barry Bower was overjoyed and emotional after the win.
Lane Spieker piled up 396 yards rushing with 7 touchdowns in the huge win. He was elated for his team and coaching staff after the win.
CAM has been one step away from the dome with quarterfinal losses the past two seasons. Cade Ticknor said they definitely had their sights on getting over the hump.
The Cougars did a phenomenal job of blocking all night long and Ticknor said that’s what they want to hang their hat on.
The Cougars improved to 11-0 on the season and will make the trip to the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls next Wednesday for the 8-Player Semifinals. We’ll have coverage of the Cougars as they match up against another squad from the Nishna Valley, the Audubon Wheelers. Pregame will start at 9:00 a.m. with Kickoff at 10:00 a.m. next Wednesday, November 10th.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The Iowa High School Athletic Association is proud to honor and induct two classes of the Football Hall of Fame at the UNI-Dome during two 2021 championship games on Friday, Nov. 19.
The 2020 class was announced last November, but ceremonies were canceled when COVID-19 protocols were updated for spectators and games the week of the championships. Those five selections will be introduced at halftime of the Class 3A championship game, set for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
The 2021 class, as listed below, will be inducted at halftime of the Class 5A championship game, set for a 7 p.m. kickoff. In the 50th year of playoff football at the IHSAA, the 2021 selections span from the pre-playoff era into the 2000s.
The IHSAA began honoring the on and off-field accomplishments of Iowa’s greatest high school football players back in 1980. Players are nominated by member schools, then presented to a committee made up of Hall of Fame coaches, then taken to the IHSAA’s Board of Control.
Below is brief biographical information on each Hall of Fame selection, with the 2021 class followed by the 2020 class. More information on the selections will be available in the annual championship program, available for $5 at the UNI-Dome or through the IHSAA office.
BILL ALBRIGHT, Madrid — A two-time all-state running back and linebacker for coach Randy Hinkel’s powerhouse squads of the early 1990s, Albright led the Tigers to runner-up finishes in 1993 and 1995. The 78 touchdowns and 496 points racked up in his career both ranked fourth in state history upon the completion of his senior season. Albright also graduated with 4,331 career rushing yards.
LEVI FERGUSON, North Mahaska — A record-breaking running back who led North Mahaska to its lone football championship in 2005 and still holds four state records and the mark for most carries in a Class A title game. Ferguson rushed for 7,142 yards from 2002 through 2005, setting records that still stand with most touchdowns in a season (64) and in a career (129), and most points in a season (416) and in a career (847). A native of Searsboro, he went on to play college baseball at Northern Iowa and Indiana State.
ROBERT GALLERY, East Buchanan — Three playoff berths and an all-state selection out of performances at tight end, linebacker, punter, and kicker highlighted his varsity days with the Buccaneers and laid the groundwork for a historic career for the Masonville native. Gallery arrived at the University of Iowa as a tight end, then moved out to offensive tackle and became an All-American, the Outland Award winner, and ultimately the No. 2 overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. Gallery played with the Raiders, Seahawks, and Patriots until his retirement in 2012.
TERRY LAMBERT, Perry — A multi-sport standout for the Bluejays and then the University of Dubuque, Lambert shined at running back and defensive back from 1979 through 1982. As a sophomore in 1980, Lambert led Perry to an unbeaten regular season and the program’s only playoff qualification in the first 30 years of the IHSAA’s postseason system. As a senior, he rushed for 436 yards in one game, good for second-most in state history at the time.
DAN McCARNEY, Iowa City, City High — Known best for his coaching accomplishments, McCarney was a first-team all-state lineman and multi-sport star for the Little Hawks through his graduation in 1971. City High improved with McCarney’s on-field leadership, going 0-9 in Mississippi Valley Conference in 1968, then going 8-1 and winning the conference in 1970. He became a three-year starter on the offensive line at the University of Iowa under coach Bob Commings before spending 11 years coaching for Hayden Fry and becoming the longest-tenured and winningest coach in Iowa State football history.
BRET MEYER, Atlantic — The quarterback and star of the 2002 undefeated state champions in Class 3A, Meyer graduated from Atlantic with over 4,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing in his career. An all-conference athlete in four sports, he was a two-time all-state player and all-class MVP as a senior. Meyer went on to set Iowa State University records for most passing completions, attempts, and yards in a career, and most total yards and offensive plays in a career.

Newell-Fonda (8-1) at CAM, Anita (9-0)- ON KJAN and CAM COUGAR CHANNEL
The Audubon Wheelers will be fighting to get back to the dome for the second time in three years when they travel to face WACO in the 8-Player football quarterfinals on Thursday. The Wheelers were State Runners-Up in 2019 and came up just shy of a semifinal trip again last year.
The Wheelers are coming off a very impressive road win in round 2 over Montezuma 62-14. The Wheelers dominated the top-ranked Braves from the outset and raced to the quarters. WACO also impressed in round 2 as they earned their way into the quarters with a road win over Martensdale-St. Marys 50-8.
WACO comes in at 10-0 on the season and their unblemished district mark earned them the home field this round. The Wheelers enter at 9-1.
The CAM Cougars are prepping for a home quarterfinal round battle against perennial power Newell-Fonda on Thursday night in the 8-Player Football Playoffs. CAM was able to battle back from a halftime deficit to score five straight touchdowns in the second half to prevail past Fremont-Mills 46-20 in the 2nd Round. Newell-Fonda earned their quarterfinal spot with a 39-14 win over Lenox last week.
The Mustangs have been led on the offensive side by junior quarterback Mason Dicks. He has thrown for 1,501 yards and 20 touchdowns with just 3 interceptions, while also rushing for 1,340 yards and 25 more scores. CAM Head Coach Barry Bower has been impressed by the efficiency Mason has achieved.
Newell-Fonda Head Coach Brian Wilken said Dicks has worked really hard to get better after last season.
Coach Bower said the Cougars will have to try to match the intensity and physicality of a perennially good team.
CAM has gotten great play across the board from a strong senior class. Lane Spieker is a workhorse on offense with 2,555 yards on the ground and now 56 touchdowns on the year. He’s also thrown for 927 yards and 11 more scores. A veteran offensive line of Reese Oglesbee, Nolan Hensley, and Gavyn Jessen have paved the way. Coach Wilken sees a very experienced and tough group from CAM.
The Cougars get to play in a quarterfinal round game for the second straight season after falling two points shy of the semifinals on the road against Fremont-Mills last year. This time will be on their home field, something the program hasn’t had the chance to do since 1995. Coach Bower said that’s a great accomplishment for his kids.
We’ll have coverage of the Cougars and Mustangs on KJAN. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call from Anita with pregame at 6:00 p.m. and kickoff at 7:00 p.m. on AM 1220, FM 101.1, and online at kjan.com. You can also watch the game on the student run broadcast on the CAM Cougar Channel through the KJAN Video Network.
