IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa Thursday named Beth Goetz as the school’s permanent athletic director. Goetz had been interim AD since Gary Barta retired this past August. Iowa men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery praised the decision.

McCaffery says Goetz has been a great fit.

McCaffery is looking forward to working with Goetz and says she has a great vision for the program.

Goetz becomes the first woman to lead the entire athletic department.

 

 

 

MASON CITY — The Mason City High girls picked up a non-conference basketball win last night at home over Northwood-Kensett 71-32, as you heard on AM-1300 KGLO and kgloam.com. The game came one day after head coach Curt Klaahsen announced on social media that he was taking early retirement at the end of the school year. Klaahsen says it wasn’t an easy decision to make.

Klaahsen says it’s been a great run at Mason City High School.

The 6th-ranked in Class 4A Riverhawks improve to 11-2 on the season and will host Waterloo East tonight as part of a doubleheader that you’ll hear on KGLO starting at about 6:15.

AMES — Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger says sophomore guard Tamin Lipsey is day-to-day as the 24th-ranked Cyclones get ready for Saturday’s game at 19th-ranked TCU. Lipsey injured a shoulder in Tuesday night’s loss at 20th-ranked BYU.

Otzelberger they are preparing like Lipsey won’t be available.

The Cyclones have dropped their first two road games in Big 12 play and Saturday’s will be another challenge.

TCU is also 2-2 in the Big 12 and Otzelberger says the Cyclones will need a good effort on defense.

TCU’s losses in conference play were at Kansas and at Cincinnati.

Tipoff in Fort Worth is scheduled for 1 o’clock.

 

 

 

OSAGE — Two local conferences have their girls conference wrestling tournaments later today and their boys conference tournaments on Saturday:

== Osage will host the Top of Iowa Conference meets. The Osage girls have three wrestlers currently in the Iowa Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association rankings while St. Ansgar has one. Wrestling this evening starts at 5:00. After last year’s boys conference tournament was a victim to the weather, the host Green Devils look to secure another team title. Wrestling on Saturday starts at 10:00 AM

 

== Clear Lake will be the host for North Central Conference teams this weekend. This evening’s girls tournament is not an official conference tournament since only four of the eight schools — Clear Lake, Algona, Humboldt and Iowa Falls-Alden — currently sponsor girls wrestling. Humboldt has two wrestlers currently in the Iowa Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association rankings while Algona has one. Tonight’s action starts at 5 o’clock. The boys tournament on Saturday is expected to be competitive with Algona, Hampton-Dumont-CAL, Humboldt and Webster City expected to be in the mix for the team title. Wrestling on Saturday is scheduled to start at 10:00 AM. You can watch both the girls and boys tournaments on Lions TV at kribam.com.
