October 10, 2020 by connorferguson

Big plays were the name of the game on Friday in Ankeny as the second-ranked Hawks squared off with the Indianola Indians (3-4). Even in a blowout 45-14 win for Ankeny, both teams saw big plays throughout the night, especially early on. “We have really good players,” Ankeny coach Rick Nelson said. “Who’s fooling themselves? You’re not going to win if … [Read more...] about Explosive plays help No. 2 Hawks to huge victory over Indianola in finale

Centennial shows signs of improvement, but drops 24-7 decision to Waukee

September 12, 2020 by connorferguson

The Ankeny Centennial offense looked like it might have found something early Friday night. The unit, which hadn't scored previously this season, started the game with back-to-back big gains from Trey Porter to secure a first down on the Waukee 24-yard line. The Jaguars would get to the 13-yard line, but a missed field goal left the large zero … [Read more...] about Centennial shows signs of improvement, but drops 24-7 decision to Waukee

‘We’re starting a new tradition’: Hawks’ talented juniors look ahead to 2020

November 10, 2019 by connorferguson

The Ankeny Hawks needed a fourth-down conversion on their own 29-yard line to even achieve a first down on their first drive of the night. A shanked punt after three more failed plays gave Dowling Catholic the ball on the Hawks’ side of the field. The Maroons needed just five plays to find the end zone and take a 7-0 lead with a bunch of momentum. It … [Read more...] about ‘We’re starting a new tradition’: Hawks’ talented juniors look ahead to 2020

November 5, 2019 by connorferguson

The Ankeny volleyball team is headed back to the state tournament for the second straight year, but for coach Dave Whims, it'll be his first appearance in the tournament since 2014. The fourth-ranked Hawkettes swept No. 12 Cedar Rapids Kennedy in a Class 5A regional final on Monday, 25-10, 25-20, 25-22, to improve their record to 36-5 on the season. It … [Read more...] about Ankeny, Whims going back to state after sweeping C.R. Kennedy

Urbandale pulls off stunning 29-28 win over Jaguars with late 2-point conversion

November 2, 2019 by connorferguson

Any time there is a single-elimination playoff format in sports, the potential for chaos is always around the corner. On Friday night in Ankeny, the chaos showed itself in more ways than one. The 12th-seeded Urbandale football team scraped by No. 4 Ankeny Centennial--a team that beat the J-Hawks by 20 points in Week 2--after making a two-point … [Read more...] about Urbandale pulls off stunning 29-28 win over Jaguars with late 2-point conversion

October 19, 2019 by connorferguson

The Ankeny Hawks took a business trip to Sioux City on Friday night and didn’t take long to show why they were there. The Hawks, facing district opponent Sioux City North, took a 77-point lead into halftime and earned a 90-7 win on the long road trip.

Ankeny romps to 63-0 win over Huskies, gets back to .500 mark

October 6, 2019 by connorferguson

One way to portray a blowout in a football game is a quarterback kneeling down in the victory formation as the game comes to an end. Usually, though, it doesn’t happen at the end of the first half. For the Ankeny Hawks, that ended up being the case on Friday. The Hawks took a 49-0 lead into the locker room at halftime and went on to post a 63-0 … [Read more...] about Ankeny romps to 63-0 win over Huskies, gets back to .500 mark

Centennial defense stifles Marshalltown en route to 42-7 road victory

September 29, 2019 by connorferguson

Coming into Friday night’s game at Leonard Cole Field, the Marshalltown Bobcats were 4-0 and averaging 34.0 points per game. The Bobcats had yet to allow more than 14 points in any of the four games they had played. Ankeny Centennial completely flipped the script. The Jaguars didn’t allow Marshalltown to get a first down until the fourth quarter and … [Read more...] about Centennial defense stifles Marshalltown en route to 42-7 road victory

September 21, 2019 by connorferguson

Cody Goodwin said on 1460 KXnO that Friday night’s football game at Drake Stadium was the biggest in 25 years for Des Moines Roosevelt. The Ankeny Hawks played like it was a marquee game for themselves from the opening snap, sticking it to the 3-0 Cinderella, 28-14. “We won so I guess I can’t complain about that,” Ankeny coach Rick Nelson said. “We … [Read more...] about Kadolph, Kumm help Ankeny squash Cinderella in Roosevelt

Ankeny plays lights out in Week 2, stifles No. 9 Dragons for 20-7 win

September 7, 2019 by connorferguson

By all means, Friday night’s Ankeny-Johnston matchup at Ankeny Stadium was a measuring stick game for both teams. The Hawks didn’t know if Week 1 opponent Ankeny Centennial was as good as they were last season. Ninth-ranked Johnston didn’t know if they pummeled a good Urbandale team or if the J-Hawks were just average. On Friday night, however, Ankeny … [Read more...] about Ankeny plays lights out in Week 2, stifles No. 9 Dragons for 20-7 win

Ankeny’s best effort not enough to get past rival Centennial

August 31, 2019 by connorferguson

The ball was snapped back to the holder. Ankeny kicker Max Pelham was ready to put his team up by three points on the opening possession in overtime. But the snap was muffed, and the holder was forced out of bounds 10 yards away from the end zone. All Ankeny Centennial needed to do was protect the ball and kick a field goal, and the Jaguars would take … [Read more...] about Ankeny’s best effort not enough to get past rival Centennial

‘We feel so much more confident’: Hawks enter season with big goals

August 29, 2019 by connorferguson

The mid-August temperature is getting a little warmer. Team practices are ramping up. And, mainly, a young team is getting older. This football season has the potential to be one of historic proportions for the Ankeny Hawks, because of what kind of a roster they are putting on the field. Last season, the team started eight sophomores--all of … [Read more...] about ‘We feel so much more confident’: Hawks enter season with big goals
