The AHSTW Vikings are set to host the Riverside Bulldogs Friday after an impressive 54-13 road victory at Red Oak last week. Head Coach Davis Pattee said he saw a major improvement from week one to week two, and his team has shown no signs of slowing down.

AHSTW has taken 11 of the last 13 from Riverside including four consecutive victories. Despite the recent success for the Vikings, they anticipate the Bulldogs will bring energy in what both teams believe is a rivalry.

AHSTW is led by Sophomore Quarterback Dayton Osbahr who has thrown 283 yards and three touchdown passes. Pattee says it is hard to believe Osbahr is an underclassman based on his maturity level.

Seniors Drew Lee and Collin Harder are the key playmakers for the Vikings with four touchdowns combined. Pattee says they are some of the best all-around athletes he has coached on and off the field.

AHSTW believes Riverside has a very diverse playbook which has required them to be prepared for anything and everything.

Pattee believes it’s going to be a battle from start to finish.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 pm in Avoca and you can catch all the action on KJAN with the coverage starting at 6:30 pm

A challenging schedule is nothing new for Fremont-Mills as the fifth ranked Knights prepare to visit number six Woodbine in 8-player. Fremont-Mills coach Greg Ernster.

Ernster says Woodine combines a big play passing attack with a powerful ground game.

Ernster on the key for the Knights defense.

Ernster says his team has high expectations for the post season and this will be a big early test.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Former University of Iowa running back Toren Young will serve as honorary captain when the Hawkeyes host UMass on Saturday on Duke Slater Field at Kinnick Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6:40 p.m. (CT) and the game will be televised on BTN.

Young was a three-year letterman and helped the Hawkeyes win three bowl games (2017 Pinstripe; 2019 Outback; 2019 Holiday) from 2017-19. The native of Madison, Wisconsin, amassed 1,262 rushing yards and nine total touchdowns (eight rushing) in 32 career games. His 1,262 career yards rank 37th in Iowa history.

Young totaled a single-season best 637 yards rushing and six touchdowns (five rushing) as a junior in 2018. He rushed for 432 yards and a score, and was a game captain four times in 2019 as a senior. Young registered 193 yards and two touchdowns during his sophomore campaign.

Young will accompany the Iowa captains to midfield for Saturday’s pregame coin toss. He will also be with the Hawkeyes in the locker room before and after the game.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz is a win away from a record as the Hawkeyes get ready to host UMass on Saturday night. a victory would be his 206th at Iowa and he would surpass former Ohio State coach Woody Hayes as the Big Ten all-time leader in wins. Senior safety Xavier Nwanpka.

Nwampka says Ferentz never talks about the record.

Senior corner T.J. Hall on Ferentz possibly breaking the record Saturday night.

Hall says the record is not a focus during their preparation.

Iowa’s offense has studied recent seasons to get ready for Saturday’s game against UMass. Joe Harasymiak is in his first season as UMass head coach after serving as defensive coordinator at Minnesota and Rutgers.

That’s Hawkeye quarterback Mark Gronowski who feels the offense will make progress despite anemic passing numbers in the first two games.

Gronowski carried the ball 16 times in last week’s loss at Iowa State.

An opening third of the regular season that began in Ireland comes to an end this weekend for 14th ranked Iowa State as the Cyclones visit Arkansas State. The Cyclones are a three touchdown favorite against a Red Wolves squad they beat 52-7 a year ago in Ames.

That’s sophomore defensive back Marcus Neal. With a win the Cyclones will take a 4-0 record into a bye week.

Neal knows Arkansas State will be motivated by the chance to host a ranked team out of a power four conference.

Sophomore receiver Brett Eskildsen says they are not taking Arkansas State lightly.

Running back Abu Sama says the Cyclones are not focused on what is ahead.

Sama says they are only focused on the next challenge.

Drake coach Joe Woodley has not minded the long layoff as the Bulldogs prepare for Saturday night’s game at second ranked South Dakota State. Drake has been idle since a season opening 41-7 victory over Upper Iowa on August 28th.

It is the first of two straight games against Missouri Valley Football Conference teams. Next week the Bulldogs visit 12th ranked South Dakota.

Woodley says to make a game of it the Bulldogs must limit mistakes and play ball control.

Woodley says there is a fine line between playing cautious and making the plays needed to post a upset.

Rivalry games always have a prospect of excitement, opportunity and challenges around them, and that is exactly what the Riverside Bulldogs are preparing for as they get ready to head to Avoca to face AHSTW. After falling out of the rankings, Riverside is back in the top ten after a 44-32 win over Mount Ayr last week. Although head coach Darrell Frain was happy with the win, he knows there is room for improvement.

It is no surprise that Jaxon Gordon played a big part in the win rushing for 422 yards and five touchdowns. As always, he will be a big factor in Friday’s contest as Frain praises his toughness, durability and work ethic.

However, on that same note, the Bulldogs will have to deal with an aggressive Vikings defense. As a team, AHSTW has accumulated 16.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks through two games. For Riverside, this means complimentary football on offense will be key.

On defense, the Bulldogs will face a balanced offense. Vikings quarterback Dayton Osbahr has thrown for over 250 yards and three touchdowns while Drew Lee is averaging 13.1 yards per carry. Frain says making their offensive one-dimensional will be a key to walking out of Avoca with a win.

Despite the recent success of the Riverside program, the Bulldogs have struggled with AHSTW. Since 2008, Riverside is just 2-11 against the Viking and Frain is hoping that adds a little extra motivation.

Although it’ll be a challenge for the Bulldogs, rivalry games always have an air of excitement.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 pm in Avoca and you can catch all the action on KJAN with the coverage starting at 6:30 pm.
