The Griswold Football team has wrapped up its 2025 season with a 1-8 record. The Tiger roster was filled with many players and minimal experience, making it oftentimes challenging to find consistent success. Nonetheless, Head Coach Seth Lembke had a positive outlook on the team’s 2025 campaign.

The Tigers lone win came against Stanton in a 28-20 home victory. A few weeks after that, Lembke officially made a switch at quarterback. Sophomore Dain Laverty took over while Wyatt Silk slid over to the receiver position. Laverty threw for 295 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the five games he started under center. A move that benefitted everyone in Lembke’s eyes.

Griswold returns their top three rushers as well.

On the defensive side of the football, Sophomore Colton Frieze led the way with 52.5 tackles on the season. Behind him, the Tigers return the next five best tacklers.

Griswold will have a much more experienced team in 2026 and look to increase their success next season.

The Tri-Center Girls Basketball team is set to begin the 2025-26 season. After a positive summer, Head Coach Derek Sonderland is excited to work with this group.

The Trojan roster features nine players this season and Sonderland wants his team to play as selfless as possible.

Tri-Center’s top two scorers from last year both graduated, handing the keys to the senior duo of Macie Schneckloth and Danica Hoden.

Tri-Center finished 7-15 a season ago and look to improve in the 2025-26 season. The Trojans’ season begins Tuesday, November 25th with a home game against Essex.

Alvaro Folgueiras scored 16 points and Bennett Stirtz had 15 points and nine assists as the Iowa Hawkeye men rolled to a 99-70 win over Southeast Missouri State. The Hawkeyes improve to 4-0.

That’s Iowa coach Ben McCollum. The Hawkeyes raced out to a 14-2 lead to start the game and led 49-25 at halftime.

The Hawkeyes host Chicago State Thursday night.

The UNI men improved to 4-0 with a 70-57 win over Northern Illinois in the McLeod Center. Leading by three at halftime the Panthers took control with an 11-0 run.

That’s Panther coach Ben Jacobson. The Panthers took control down the stretch after the Huskies rallied to tie the game with under nine minutes remaining.

Jacobson likes to way this team is getting along and that will help as they visit UC-Irvine on Saturday.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says Saturday will be emotional in Jack Trice Stadium. Sixteen Cyclones will celebrate Senior Day when ISU hosts Kansas.

It is a senior class that was a big part of Iowa State’s first 11-win season a year ago.

Iowa State is 6-4 and Campbell would like to see the seniors help lead the Cyclones to a strong finish.

Campbell says despite their recent struggles Kansas is a combination of talent and experience. The Jayhawks are 5-5 overall and dropped three of their last four games.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz does not feel his team is looking for the finish line as the Hawkeyes get ready to close the home season against Michigan State. The Hawkeyes are 6-4 and their slim playoff hopes were dealt a fatal blow after squandering a 14-point lead in a loss at USC.

Iowa’s four losses have been by a total of 15 points in what has become a season of “what ifs.”

Ferentz likes the way this team has handled adversity.

Ferentz says there is a chance the starting offensive line could be ready against the Spartans. The Hawkeyes lost three starters up front to injury in the loss at USC.
