Iowa State hosts Arizona State tomorrow (Saturday)

Sports

October 31st, 2025 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State will be out to snap a three game losing streak on Saturday when the Cyclones host Arizona State. With Sun Devil star quarterback Sam Leavitt sidelined due to injury the Cyclones will face former Nebraska and Georgia Tech quarterback Jeff Sims.

That’s Cyclone coach Matt Campbell. Sikms directed a fourth quarter rally that came up short against Houston and Campbell says he and Leavitt have a lot of similarities.

Campbell says the Sun Devils have a lot of talent.

Both teams are 5-3.

Atlantic Football Opens Postseason at Bishop Heelan

Sports

October 31st, 2025 by Christian Adams

The Atlantic Trojans will be on the road this Halloween to open their postseason against the Bishop Heelan Crusaders. For the Trojans, it marks their first playoff appearance since 2020 and despite the long trip, Atlantic is ready to put their best foot forward.

That’s Atlantic head coach Joe Brummer who also says they are accustomed to making long hauls.

Waiting at the end of the line will be the 7-2 Crusaders. Bishop Heelan has won four of their last five and like Atlantic will be looking to bounce back from a season finale loss. Defensively, the Trojans will need to find a way to stop University of Iowa commit Kasen Thomas.

Brummer says swarming the football will be a massive key to limiting his production, as well as slowing down an offense that averages over 25 points per game.

On offense, the Trojans will have to find a way through a talented and stingy defense. Bishop Heelan has allowed more than 21 points just once this season and are led by Zack Harpenau who has amassed 56 tackles with a pair of sacks and 4 tackles for loss. Brummer says that the Trojans will need to block well especially at the linebacker level.

The Crusaders defense has been particularly stingy in the redzone and Brummer knows that his team will have to execute at a high level to get into the endzone.

This game will be won or lost in the trenches and Brummer says the line of scrimmage will be as important as ever.

You can catch all the action on KJAN with pregame coverage beginning at 6:30 pm with kickoff scheduled for 7 pm.

Audubon Football Ready for Second Round Home Playoff Game

Sports

October 31st, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

The Audubon Football team is set for a second home playoff game this season against the Montezuma Braves. The Wheelers won their opening playoff game against Lenox 58-20. Wheeler Head Coach Sean Birks says the home field is deserving after the successful regular season.

Birks says creating a consistent run game is critical in the matchup with Montezuma.

The Wheelers share a state leading number of 62 rushing touchdowns on the season and have the third most rushing yards at the eight-player level. The Wheelers are led by Sophomore Aiden Kjergaard who has rushed for 1,089 yards and 25 touchdowns. Behind him, two more sophomores in Mason Kasperbauer and Paxton Beane have both ran for more than 450 yards this season.

In the preparation for the Braves, Birks says Montezuma will feature disciplined football and a diverse playbook.

You can catch all the action on KJANTV from Audubon with coverage beginning at 6:30 P.M. and kickoff is scheduled for 7 P.M..

Iowa State basketball star Audi Crooks supporting families in need with care package

Sports

October 31st, 2025 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State Cyclones basketball star Audi Crooks is giving back to her hometown as many families face food insecurity with their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits possibly being delayed during the federal government shutdown. KCCI reports the Audi Crooks Foundation has launched “Knock N Dash,” a doorstep care-package program to help Kossuth County residents weather the strain caused by the SNAP delays.

With many households experiencing gaps and uncertainty around SNAP disbursements, local families are facing tougher choices at the grocery checkout. Knock N Dash aims to bridge those gaps quickly and quietly: residents complete a short form noting household size and location, and volunteers deliver care packages directly to their doors — no questions asked and no judgment.

At its heart, Knock N Dash is a neighbor‑to‑neighbor response to an urgent moment — one knock at a time, ensuring fewer families go without while SNAP benefits are delayed during the shutdown.

No. 8 Underwood visits No. 9 West Marshall in 1A playoffs tonight (Friday night)

Sports

October 31st, 2025 by Ric Hanson

Rateds collide in the second round of the Class 1A playoffs Friday night when eighth ranked Underwood visits number nine West Marshall. Underwood coach Nate Mechaelsen says his team has gotten healthier and has momentum after an opening round playoff win over South Central Calhoun.

The chore for the Underwood defense will be slowing down a West Marshall offense that averages more than 260 yards of rushing per game.

Mechaelsen says finding success on first down will be a key to the game.

Underwood will counter with an offense that likes to mix the pass and the run.

Cyclones Rally for Road Draw in Season Finale

Sports

October 30th, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

MANHATTAN, Kan. – For the second consecutive season, Iowa State (4-9-4, 1-8-2 Big 12) ended its regular season in a draw, as it used a two-goal second half to tie Kansas State (7-6-5, 2-5-4 Big 12) on the road in each team’s season finale Thursday evening.
The Wildcats struck first, scoring midway through the first stanza, and took a 1-nil lead into the break. K-State then struck again a little under midway through the second half to take a 2-0 lead. But a pair of unanswered second-half goals from the Cyclones would knot things up and take things to a draw. Of Iowa State’s 20 goals on the year, 15 came in the second half of play.
Both Morgan Goodman and Taylor Spitzer scored for the Cyclones, as each recorded their fourth goal of the season. Gili Johnson would score her first point of the season, picking up an assist, while Ella Ciardullo picked up her team-high third assist of the year. Spitzer led the team in shots with four, while Ella Zimmerman had three, placing a team-best two on target. In net, Kasey Cannistraro went the distance, collecting four saves.
Both Rilyn Rintoul and Andra Mohler scored goals for the Wildcats on the night. Mohler scored first, cashing in on assists from Jayce Woodward and Rintoul. Rintoul then tallied her score in the second half, using feeds from Allison Marshall and Chloe Dillbick. Woodward and Rintoul had a Wildcat-high three shots, with Rintoul placing all three of her attempts on target. Between the pipes, Maddie Sibbing pulled down three saves while allowing a pair of goals.
The stats were pretty even on the night, with the Wildcats just edging the Cyclones in shots, 14-12. ISU held a slim advantage both in saves, 4-3, and corners, 6-4, while the Wildcats were definitely the more physically aggressive team, committing 22 fouls to ISU’s 10.
Goals
Iowa State: Morgan Goodman – 66:04 (4), Taylor Spitzer – 77:42 (4)
Kansas State: Andra Mohler – 26:31 (5), Rilyn Rintoul – 59:41 (4)
Assists
Iowa State: Ella Ciardullo (3), Gili Johnson (1)
Kansas State: Jayce Woodward (3), Rilyn Rintoul (1), Allison Marshall (2), Chloe Dillbick (2)
