Iowa Western CC goes for the 3 Peat National Championship tonight.

NJCAA Division 1 Championship Game on Wednesday, December 18th at 7:30pm CST.

Wednesday also features two of the best coaches in the NJCAA with the Reivers' Scott Strohmeier and Hutchinson's Drew Dallas, currently in his fifth season. Dallas, the Salina, Kansas native has lost only five games in his overall tenure and has the Blue Dragons in the Playoffs for the third time since the format began following HCC's National Title march in the spring of 2021. For Strohmeier, he racked up his 150th win at Iowa Western during the season and in his 16th year has built a program that those around the country respect for its sustained success.

Both teams feature high powered offenses and staunch defense, with the Reivers' 'Darkside' defense finding their footing after an uncharacteristically slow start to the season.

Lara Trump drops out of contention for U.S. Senate seat for Florida

Lara Trump announced on Saturday that she was removing herself from contention for the open Florida Senate seat, ending weeks of speculation that the president-elect’s daughter-in-law would represent the Sunshine State in Congress.

Donald Trump had previously communicated to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that he wanted Lara Trump to take the seat, which would be open if Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R) is confirmed to serve as secretary of state. DeSantis is tasked with appointing Rubio’s replacement.

Speculation that Lara Trump, who is married to Trump’s son Eric, would take the role increased this month after she stepped down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee.

“After an incredible amount of thought, contemplation, and encouragement from so many, I have decided to remove my name from consideration for the United States Senate,” she said in a post on X.


Lara Trump’s announcement is just the latest development in Trump’s complicated relationship with DeSantis, whom he battled in a contentious GOP primary.

Some of Trump’s supporters had publicly pushed for a member of the Trump family to enter Congress.
“The Senate is an old man’s club. We desperately need a smart, young, outspoken woman who will reveal their secrets,” tweeted Maye Musk, the mother of Trump ally Elon Musk, who has recently spent time with her son and Trump’s family at Mar-a-Lago.

Lara Trump’s announcement came after her father-in-law suggested during a Monday news conference that she might not be chosen.
Asked on Monday whether he expected DeSantis to appoint her, Donald Trump told reporters: “No, I don’t, I probably don’t.”
“Ron’s going to have to make that decision, and he’ll make the right decision,” Trump added. “I also know that Lara’s got so many other things. … People want her to be on television, they want to give her contracts.”

People familiar with DeSantis’s thinking had previously told The Washington Post he was considering other candidates. One predicted he was more likely to choose someone who has held public office in Florida.

It was not immediately clear whom DeSantis would appoint, but he has been considering other Florida politicians, including the state’s attorney general, Ashley Moody, and former statehouse speaker Jose Oliva.
Lara Trump wrote that she was humbled by the support she received, including from Florida residents.
“I remain incredibly passionate about public service and look forward to serving our country again sometime in the future,” she wrote. “In the meantime, I wish Governor DeSantis the best of luck with this appointment.”
Lara Trump teased that she would have other news to share in the new year.
“I do have a big announcement that I’m excited to share in January, so, stay tuned,” she wrote.
