The Audubon Wheelers volleyball team is a young group that continues to strive for improvement as the season progresses. Although the record may not be what they had hoped, they continue to play with intensity. Head coach Brandi Gruhn says she’s proud of the way her team has competed through tough competition.
The Wheelers have a roster loaded with up-and-coming talent. However, Alissa Testroet and Peyton Gust are the team’s only two seniors. Both have been with the program all four years, and Coach Gruhn stated their leadership has been invaluable to her team
With the seniors providing the veteran experience, Audubon’s junior class is big, talented, and leading the way statistically. First-year setter Anna Larsen is fifth in the Western Iowa Conference in assists with 292. Teammate Harlow Miller is a conference leader both offensively and defensively. She currently leads the conference with 206 kills and ranks second in the conference in blocks. Gruhn not only appreciates their heart and hustle but also their ability to work together.
As with every team, the Wheelers have some improvements that need to be made. However, Coach Gruhn likes the attitude her squad brings to the table.
The Wheelers will face the Treynor Cardinals at home tonight.
Baylor coach Dave Aranda admits this season has gotten off to a frustrating start. The Bears are 2-3 overall and opened Big 12 play with close losses to Colorado and BYU. They visit unbeaten and 16th ranked Iowa State Saturday night.
Aranda says several key players who missed the last couple of games due to injury have returned to practice.
Aranda says the Bears face a big challenge on both sides of the ball.
Aranda says the Cyclones combine a ball control offense with a defense that wants to prevent big plays.
Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley says the bye week came at the perfect time for the Panthers. UNI followed up a loss at Nebraska with a 36-7 loss at Hawaii on September 21st. They open the Missouri Valley race at home on Saturday against FCS top ranked and two-time defending national champion South Dakota State.
Farley has not named a starting quarterback for this week. Aidan Dunne started the first four games but sophomore Matthew Schecklman also played in the loss at Hawaii and completed four of eight passes for 23 yards.
UNI is 2-2 and Farley says there are several areas that need to improve as conference play begins.
South Dakota State is 3-1 with the lone loss at Oklahoma State.
Farley says South Dakota State has talent and confidence.
The goal for the Panther defense is to slow down South Dakota State quarterback Mark Gronowski. He was the FCS player of the year on offense as a junior.
Gronowski leads a team that Farley is dominant at the line of scrimmage.
University of Iowa outside hitter Malu Garcia was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.
Garcia is Iowa’s first Big Ten Freshman of the Week since Brie Orr earned the honor in September of 2017. It is Iowa’s first weekly conference recognition since Courtney Buzzerio was the Big Ten Player of the Week in the spring of 2021.
Garcia, a native of Hilo, Hawaii, combined for 28 kills and 14 blocks in Iowa’s wins at Rutgers and Maryland. Against the Scarlet Knights, Garcia matched her career high with 17 kills, while also tallying nine blocks and eight digs.
To close out the road trip, Garcia registered 11 kills and five blocks in the Hawkeyes’ five-set win against Maryland.
Garcia’s 138 total kills are the most among Big Ten freshmen. She averages 2.76 kills per set and is hitting .225 in her rookie campaign. Defensively, Garcia is third on the team with 43 blocks.
The Hawkeyes (8-6, 2-0 B1G) are back in action on Friday, Oct. 4, hosting No. 25 Washington (12-0, 2-0 B1G) in Iowa’s Gold Out match at Xtream Arena. First serve is scheduled for 8:05 p.m. (CT) and will be televised on the Big Ten Network and broadcast on the Hawkeye Radio Network.

(iahsaa.org) The first edition of the IHSAA’s 2024 football rankings are available below. The rankings for Class 2A, Class 1A, Class A, and Eight-Player will be determined throughout the 2024 regular season by official rankings committees, as debuted in 2023.
Current district standings are also available below for the listed classes.
The committee rankings for 2A, 1A, A, and 8P will feature a top 10 consensus-built list as compiled by a six-person group: Two former head coaches and one media member, each representing different state regions, and three IHSAA staff members.
The IHSAA will use the rankings as a primary tool for postseason assignments, while maintaining school and geographic considerations.
Ratings Percentage Index lists for Class 5A, Class 4A, and Class 3A will debut following Week 6, on Oct. 7.
The final editions will be following the release of first round playoff matchups.
Iowa State is 16th in the latest AP College Football Poll. The Cyclones are 4-0 for the first time since 2000 after a 20-0 win at Houston. In the process Cyclone coach Matt Campbell became ISU’s all-time leader in wins.
Campbell is in his ninth season as Cyclone coach.
Campbell credits the leadership on the team for their unbeaten start.
The Cyclones host Baylor in a prime time contest in Ames on Saturday.
