Local Sports Update – Monday Sept. 29

Friday Night in local high school football:

Northeast’s homecoming is spoiled as they lose to Cascade 49-13.

Calamus-Wheatland also loses on homecoming: 48-43 against Lansing Kee.

Bellevue moves to 5-0 on the season and beats Monticello on the road 48-14.

Central DeWitt’s perfect record comes to an end as they fall 35-31 on homecoming to Davenport Assumption. 

7th-ranked Easton Valley wins in dominant fashion on the road beating HLV/Tri-County 54-8, to stay undefeated. 

Midland’s homecoming game is also spoiled as they lose to East Marshall 35-7.

The Maquoketa Cardinals fall at home to 4th-ranked Mount Vernon 50-0.

In College Football this weekend:

14th-ranked Iowa State beat Arizona 39-14 in Ames to improve to 5-0 on the season. The Cyclones play at Cincinnati next week.

And the Iowa Hawkeyes dropped a close one at home against 8th-ranked Indiana 20-15 the final score. Iowa Quarterback Mark Gronowski went down with a left leg injury at the start of the 4th quarter with Iowa leading 13-10 but did not return to the game. Sophomore QB Hank Brown took over, and a tipped pass that was intercepted along with a missed field goal, gave Indiana the chance to score a late touchdown and steal the win. Gronowski will have extra time to heal as the Hawkeyes are set for a bye week.

The St. Louis Cardinals wrapped up their 2025 season yesterday, as they were swept in a weekend series in Chicago against the rival Cubs. The cards finish 78-84 on the year, 5 games back from a wild-card spot. The NL Central was very tough this year as the 3-teams in the division ahead of St. Louis all made the playoffs.
