...............................................
Spirit Lake running back Max Carney
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“No colleges have been recruiting me for football.”
Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I plan to this spring when I have some free time.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My favorite college growing up was Iowa.”
..............................................
Ballard shortstop Sam Petersen
Why did you end up picking Iowa?
“I choose Iowa because I had formed a great relationship with the coaches over the last year and had always dreamed of playing for my state.”
What other schools did you consider?
“I was considering many schools. My final three were Iowa, Nebraska, and TCU. I visited all three this fall.”
What was different about Iowa?
“The difference about Iowa was the fact that I would be representing my home state and I want to show the country that northern schools can compete at the college level. Our 2021 class committed to Iowa all has the same mentality.”
What do you feel you have done to stand out among your peers as an athlete?
“I feel my work ethic has separated me these past 2-3 years, and at the same time, I have much more to continue to improve and that excites me.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
