Missouri Baptist Football Struggles Against No. 19 William Penn
OSKALOOSA, Iowa – Missouri Baptist Football had their hands full with an experienced William Penn team that currently sits at No. 19 in the NAIA. The Statesmen were active from the jump, receiving the opening kickoff and needing just one play to score, the result being a 68-yard pass. However, four straight three-and-outs between the two teams would quickly slow the game back down. A break would quickly come for the Spartans and William Penn, pinned within their own 10-yard line, punted for just 11 yards, putting Missouri Baptist on the edge of the red zone to begin their drive.

Iowa Valley drops SICL match to Keota in four sets
MARENGO — Close, but not quite. That was the story for the Iowa Valley volleyball team in a 3-1 loss to Keota in a South Iowa Cedar League match Thursday. The Tigers played each set close and avoided a sweep with a 25-20 set three win. Keota won the other three sets 25-23, 25-19 and 25-21. “That was probably the best competition we’ve seen so far this season,” head coach Ross Karsten said. “It was kind of a shock at the beginning, but as a whole I thought we played some decent volleyball. “We made some unforced errors, but that’s the growing pains of having some young hitters.” The Tigers’ serving stood out in the match. They hit 12 aces, and several other serves threw Keota out of rhythm. “We had some decent service pressure that got them out of system a lot,” Karsten said. In set one, the largest the deficit either team reached was three points. Iowa Valley jumped out with a 4-1 spurt, and the teams traded blows after that. The Eagles took charge late and were able to hold a slight cushion until the end. Keota did the same thing in the second set. After a

Pleasantville's Braylon Bingham's dreams come true with Iowa football
This story is part five of a series on the Des Moines Register’s top 10 Iowa high school football seniors. Each week until the end of the season, we will feature a different senior, showing readers a side of them that goes beyond the Friday night lights. PLEASANTVILLE — Ruthless. That’s the word printed on the backplate attached to Braylon Bingham’s shoulder pads. The design on this piece of equipment is meant to look like the movie rating system, with the ‘R’ in this case standing for ruthless, due to “strong language and scenes of explicit violence.” It’s a fitting choice for the 6-foot-2, 205-pound high schooler whose main position – linebacker – inherently involves violence, or is at least among the more aggressive, hardest-hitting positions in football. It’s a good descriptor of Bingham, who in practice cuts through the offensive line made up of his teammates and wraps up the quarterback with ease. And then he does it again, and again, and again. Even during a late summer practice, Bingham’s talent is on full display, and it’s easy to spot the Division I recruit on Pleasantville’s football team. ‘Bigger, stronger, more athletic’: Bingham stood out, even before high school
