The season is on the line tonight for the Indianola boys basketball team in the second round of district play, as they travel to Ankeny Centennial High School to take on the Jaguars. The Indians advanced after a tough battle with Des Moines Lincoln on Monday evening, bringing a seven game winning streak into the matchup. The Jaguars are 13-4 on the season, and boast one of the top point guards in the state in Jaron Crews, who puts up over 15 points and 5 assists per contest. Indians head coach Brett Watson tells KNIA Sports he talked to his squad after their win over the Railsplitters on Monday about keeping things simple.

“This is going to sound like a cliche, but we really just need to focus on the fundamentals of the game. We talked about how our fundamentals just weren’t good, guarding the basketball, rebounding, taking care of the basketball. This will be one of our toughest tests of the year so we need to be much better fundamentally.”

The game tonight can be heard live on 94.3 KNIA, with Andrew Swadner and Rick Wilson on the play-by-play. Pregame coverage begins at 6:45, with tip-off scheduled for 7pm.

Just over two weeks has passed since the Indianola boys basketball team secured a 38-point victory over the Railsplitters of Des Moines Lincoln, but the rematch Monday evening would be a completely different story as the Indians squad survived and advanced in the class 4A substate 2 playoffs, as the Indians won 69-55 as heard live on 94.3 KNIA. The defensive intensity was fierce for both squads in the first half, with the Indians relying on 8/8 free throw shooting to salvage a 29-all score at the halftime break.

Senior guard CJ Kuehl tells KNIA Sports after the second half run, the Indians built some confidence and they were able to use their strengths to earn the victory.

The Indians survive and advance to a substate semifinal matchup with Ankeny Centennial on the road Friday.

The Indians will take on the Indians tonight in Little Hawkeye Conference action, as the Indianola basketball squads will make the road trip to Mahaska County to take on Oskaloosa. The #15 in class 5A Indians girls are looking to keep par at the top of the conference, where they sit a half-game behind Dallas Center-Grimes and will aim to repeat their performance over Osky in the first matchup with a 75-28 win. The Indians boys are also looking to repeat their performance from early January against Osky, picking up a 80-37 win including holding the other Indians to just 7 first half points. Head coach Brett Watson said his team has started to adapt mentally to their games.

“We’ve still got a young group that is still maturing. We kind of figured out that a lot of it has to do with the mental side of it. We haven’t really changed a whole lot offensively or defensively, but I think we are starting to mature between our ears. That’s something we have to build off of. We have to keep this thing going, it’s February now, playoff basketball time, we hope to play our best basketball right now.”

The games tonight can be heard live on 94.3 KNIA, with Andrew Swadner and Rick Wilson on the play-by-play. Pregame coverage begins at 6pm, with tip-off scheduled for 6:15.

Knoxville Girls Travel To 4A #8 Bondurant-Farrar Tonight | KNIA KRLS Radio – The One to Count On
































The Knoxville Girls Basketball Squad will play likely the best team it will face all season as the Panthers travel to class 4A #8 Bondurant-Farrar tonight. Knoxville is coming off a blowout win over Albia on Tuesday night but will take on a Blue Jay squad that has three players averaging in double figures. Coach Jim Uitermarkt tells KNIA/KRLS Sports they may have learned a little about what some of his younger players can do especially when his team goes up against a team with size or is against a quicker more guard oriented squad.

Uitermarkt:
“I think that’s something we can do going forward, who do we play and what do they have if we have Ashlyn out there or we put Brittany out there.”

Tuesday, freshman Brittany Bacorn started to give the Panthers a little more speed on defense against a guard heavy Albia. Tonight’s game can be heard live on 95.3 KNIA starting with the pregame at six and the tip at 6:15.

Indianola Basketball Squads Travel to Grinnell | KNIA KRLS Radio

Posted on | by getsetntravel | Leave a Comment on Indianola Basketball Squads Travel to Grinnell | KNIA KRLS Radio


With both teams on winning streaks, the Indianola girls and boys basketball squads will travel to Grinnell tonight to compete against the Tigers in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

The #14 in class 5A Indians girls are currently on top of the conference with a 3-0 record and sport a 7-game winning streak, but sit only a game above Grinnell who has only dropped a conference contest to Dallas Center-Grimes. The Tigers have also faced some of the state’s top teams including Center Point-Urbana and North Scott, with a 5-3 overall record.

The Indians boys are on a hot streak, winning their last two games in blowout fashion, and will look to take advantage of a Grinnell squad that has yet to pick up a conference victory. Indianola head coach Brett Watson tells KNIA Sports his young team still has things to work on, but they are improving every game.

“We want to mature as a group. When we do have practice time, we really gotta work on our deficiencies, things defensively we have to clean up. Our offense has looked good, but we still have work to do there. We just have to keep getting better each and every game, especially as there are no easy games in the Little Hawkeye Conference. We just have to keep growing and maturing as a team.”

The game tonight can be heard live on 94.3 KNIA, with Andrew Swadner on the play-by-play. Pregame coverage begins at 6pm, with tip-off scheduled for 6:15.
