The Griswold Tigers girls basketball team rallied in the fourth quarter to pick up a 35-31 win over the Audubon Wheelers on Friday night. The Wheelers controlled the lead for most of the second half but Griswold rallied in the fourth quarter. A Mateya Peters three gave Griswold the lead at 30-29, that was the Tigers first lead since 6-5 at the end of the first quarter.
The Tigers also got 11 points from Brittney Beebe as they improved to 9-11.
Leah Subbert led Audubon with 14 but she fouled out in the last minute of the game. The Wheelers fall to 2-17 with the loss.
Both teams have one final regular season game next Tuesday before the playoffs.
Exira-EHK senior Evan Wilson signed a letter of intent this week to continue his cross country and track career at NIACC.
Wilson has been a very strong runner for the Spartans and has been focusing on his running since sophomore year when he gave up football to focus on one sport during the fall.
Wilson will be joining NIACC head coach Curits Vais’ program in Mason City in the fall.
Audubon standout wide receiver Josh Lange announced on Thursday that he has committed to Buena Vista University to continue his academic and football career. Lange announced his decision on Twitter saying “Very excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and football career at Buena Vista University!!! #BuildTheDam #rollbeavs”
Lange has been a four year starter for the Wheelers racking up 122 catches for 1,940 yards and 27 touchdowns throughout his career. Lange also carried the ball on the ground 69 times for 528 yards and six more scores. His Wheeler squads went 33-8 during his career and they made it to the quarterfinal round of the 8-man playoffs this year, falling to eventual runner-up Remsen St. Mary’s.

An overtime struggle between two struggling teams ended with a 71-68 road win for Iowa women’s basketball Thursday. According to HawkeyeSports.com, the Lady Hawks, who came into the game against Michigan State as the losers of four of their last five games, handed the Spartans their fourth loss in a row behind a monster night from junior Megan Gustafson (game-highs 36 points, 17 rebounds).
Kathleen Doyle, the only other Hawkeye with 10-plus points, was also impressive, notching an 11-point, 11-assist double-double. Chase Coley grabbed 10 rebounds and added five points, including two on a jumper with 6.4 seconds left in overtime that gave Iowa a lead it would not relinquish.
Michigan State (14-9, 4-6) was led in scoring and rebounding by Sidney Cooks, who had 16 points and eight boards. She was also the only Spartn starter to shoot better than 40 percent (7 of 13) as Michigan State struggled to a 37.5 percent success rate from the field. Iowa shot 44.8 percent from the floor.
Iowa next hosts Minnesota (17-5, 6-3) at 2 p.m. Sunday. The Gophers downed the Hawkeyes back on Jan. 21, 77-72, at Williams Arena.
