A quick look at top returning area girls wrestlers

Girls wrestling season is upon us. Official practices began Monday, Nov. 2. Competitions are not far away either, with three area teams opening their seasons Nov. 16. With a new season also comes a new twist. For the first time, there will not only be an individual state tournament, but also a state team dual tournament, as there is on the boys side. Sixteen teams in each class will qualify for regional duals on Jan. 18, 2027. The eight winners advance to the state tournament on Jan. 22 at Xtream Arena in Coralville. The addition of the team aspect will impact how teams schedule their competitions out and incentivize teams that can fill out most, if not all, of the 14 weight classes. “Every coach that I have talked to around the state has mentioned that their December is a gauntlet,” Benton Community head coach Josh Hoeck said. “We should be able to fill a full lineup, which can be half the battle in order to compete on the team side of things.” This is because two of the three rankings from the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union rankings committee will come out before the new year, so teams

Strong 4th quarter leads Iowa Valley past Edgewood-Colesburg

MARENGO — A motivated group of Iowa Valley football players entered this season with big goals on their minds. As the clock hit zero in the fourth quarter at Tiger Field Thursday, a four-year ascension finally saw its breakthrough as Iowa Valley defeated Edgewood-Colesburg 70-32 in an 8-player quarterfinal to advance to the UNI-Dome and the semifinal round. “You almost kind of feel a weight lifted off your shoulders after the feeling last year, and the expectations put on us this year,” Iowa Valley head coach Casey Krull said. The Tigers were eliminated in this round last season, but left no doubt in the final quarter that this time would be different. Leading 36-32, Iowa Valley forced three turnovers and scored 34 points in the final quarter to blow this one open from what was a close, contested game. “I think we all kind of remembered how it felt last year, and we just had that in the back of our heads,” quarterback Nolan Kriegel said. “We were not going to let up.” The quarter started with a fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line. Kriegel ran the ball in for his fourth rushing score of the game. On the ensuing kickoff,

Wolverines stunned by Cherokee in volleyball state tournament

The #3 (3A) Dike-New Hartford volleyball team was stunned by #6 (3A) Cherokee Washington, falling 3-1 in a 3A state tournament quarterfinal Tuesday, as aired on 99 The Wave. In an intense first set, the teams traded points for most of the way before the Braves won 25-21. Set 2 proved to be a turning point. After DNH scored to begin the set, Cherokee rattled off the next 11 to take a commanding advantage, and led by double digits several times. But DNH closed the gap toward the end of the set, falling 25-20. DNH got back to their winning ways in set 3 with their backs against the wall, hitting .262 on their way to a 25-15 win, the most lopsided set of the match.
