The 2-4 Perry Bluejays football team is feeling the growing pains from their 2024 campaign. Perry did start the year off with 1 35-21 win against Des Moines Hoover, but have seen tough losses against Greene County, Storm Lake, a 55-point shutout against Nevada and a 49-7 loss to Harlan last week.
For first year Perry head coach Josh Vannornam he knows that this season hasn’t been easy for his Bluejay squad. Still, he has seen small amounts of growth from Perry throughout the season.
Part of that refinement process for Coach Vannornam was looking back and finding the positive takeaways from last Friday’s loss to Harlan. Coach Vannornam noted that regardless of the score, he saw a gritty Bluejay team that stayed physical in all four quarters.
Perry’s physicality on defense stems from the leadership of leading tackler senior linebacker Jorge Ramirez with 30 total tackles on the year and senior Alec Burgin with 14. The way they carry themselves out on the field and in practice during the week has earned them some praise.
Offensively Perry has relied on senior quarterback Geren Kenney who has two touchdowns through the air and six from rushing. Kenney’s go to receiver has been junior Gustavo Drahos with 13 receptions and 153 yards on the year.
Coach Vannornam will be looking to his defensive leaders and quarterback Kenney for their toughest contest yet against the 5-2 Atlantic Trojans. With the film he’s watched, coach Vannornam is expecting a battle on Friday.
One of the major focuses for PErry heading into their matchup with Atlantic is the concept of belief. Coach Vannornam has been instilling the idea of unity within his team, that if they can buy in and stay motivated. That Friday will show them plenty of promise.
KJAN and KJANTV have the coverage for Pery against Atlantic with the pregame show beginning at 7:00 pm and kickoff is set for 7:30 pm.
Iowa takes a 3-2 record into Saturday’s game at home against Washington. It is their first meeting since the 1995 Sun Bowl and their first as Big Ten foes.
That’s Hawkeye lineback Nick Jackson. It will be a nine A-M Seattle time kickoff.
The Huskies are coming off a 27-17 win over Michigan and are 4-2 overall. Fellow linebacker Jay Higgins says he and the other veteran players have had to step up as leaders in the wake of a 35-7 loss at Ohio State.
It will be Iowa’s first home game in nearly a month.
The 11th ranked Iowa State Cyclones bid for another road win Saturday night at West Virginia. Cyclone tackle Jalen Travis says a good run game will help keep the partisan crowd out of the game.
Tight end Ben Brahmer (bray-mer) says handling the crowd noise will be a key.
It is the third straight night game for the Cyclones which means a long day waiting for kickoff.
Both teams are 2-0 in the Big 12. Cyclone corner Jontez Williams.
A new era is set to begin for Iowa women’s basketball. Long-time assistant Jan Jensen was elevated after the retirement of Lisa Bluder and takes over a team that lost several key players from a team that played in two straight national title games, including two-time national player of the year Caitlin Clark.
The addition of Villanova star Lucy Olsen and a talented freshman class gives this team potential.
Jensen says there is no way to speed up the process of gaining experience.
A concern right now is a injury has left the Hawkeyes without a back up at point guard as well as off season injuries for Hannah Stuelke and Sydney Affolter. They have not practiced together since the end of last season.
The Hawkeyes open at home on November sixth against Northern Illinois.
