Northern Iowa men roll at Indiana State

Sports

February 19th, 2026 by Ric Hanson

A late season surge continues for the Northern Iowa men. The Panthers put the game away with a late 16-1 run and won at Indiana State 81-60. It was their fifth win in the last six games. Will Hornseth led the way with 18 points. Ben Schwieger had 17 points, including five-of-six from three point range.

The Panthers scored 45 points and shot nearly 61 percent in the second half.

The Panthers trailed by seven midway through the opening half and coach Ben Jacobson says they turned the game around with defense.

The Panthers improve to 10-7 in Missouri Valley Conference play.

Drake men fall at home to Southern Illinois

Sports

February 19th, 2026 by Ric Hanson

Drake was held to 25 second half points in a 66-61 loss at home to Southern Illinois. It was a seventh straight loss for the Bulldogs, who led by 13 points in the opening half.

That’s Drake coach Eric Henderson. Jalen Quinn led the Bulldogs with 23 but he was the only Bulldog in double figures. Junior guard Andrew Alia had six and says it has been a disappointing stretch for the Bulldogs.

Drake is 6-12 in the Valley and returns to action next Wednesday at Valparaiso.

Southwest Valley Girls Wrestling Wraps Up Successful Season

Sports

February 18th, 2026 by Clayton Wollner

The Southwest Valley Girls Wrestling season is officially over. They sent one wrestler to state in SR Kenzie Maeder, who finished 5th in the 145 division at the state tournament. The Timberwolves were a uniquely built team, only wrestling with two upperclassmen this season. Despite being a young team, Head Coach Derek Maeder is very happy with how his team performed in 2025-26.

With so many underclassmen, the upperclassmen on the team had to step up as leaders:

Kenzie Maeder put together a great performance at state and impressed her coach (and dad):

Coach Maeder is looking forward to next season:
