CLEAR LAKE — Clear Lake travels to Garner-Hayfield-Ventura for a Class 2A first round playoff football game tonight.

Clear Lake coach Jared DeVries knows they’ll have to stop Garner-Hayfield-Ventura’s running game, led by fullback Joe Pringnitz.

Clear Lake is 2-5 coming into the game while Garner-Hayfield-Ventura is 3-4. The winner of tonight’s game will travel to Spirit Lake next week.

CEDAR FALLS — The UNI men are favored to repeat as Missouri Valley Conference regular season champions. The Panthers return all conference standouts AJ Green and Austin Phyfe from last year’s team that finished 25-6.

That’s Panther coach Ben Jacobson who feels the Valley will be improved from top to bottom.

Drake is picked for seventh. Star center Liam Robbins transferred to Minnesota after last year’s 20-14 record and the Bulldogs added six-nine Seton Hall transfer Darnell Brodie.

That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries who feels several teams in the Valley have post season hopes.
