Morningside University

So stay tuned for that.

But over the next few minutes or so, we're going to talk to a handful of folks who are going to be inducted into the Morningside M Club Hall of Fame.

That's upcoming weekend.

That's at 9 a.m. at the Yawkey Family Community Room inside the Olsen Student Center.

So if you'd like to attend, I think you had to RSVP.

But nonetheless, check it out on the Morningside Athletic YouTube channel, which you can watch live for free or as a replay as well.

So make sure to check that out, whether you watch it live or on demand.

But there is a fine, fine class coming up here in the class of 2026 for the M Club Hall of Fame, including 1974 grad Steve Newhart, 1986 grad Keith McKinney, the late John Boll, Brenna Larson-Ruchoff, Ryan Kadsdorf, Susana Gonzalez, and the Alumni Coach of the Year here in 2026 is Raz Vandalou.

Bad box score of the day.

The Morningside, Iowa.

Marauders.

These are not as creative, by the

way.

Okay.

No. Morningside's the Mustangs.

That's a good one.

Now it's time to talk Morningside Mustang football.

They were a day late, but, you know, we had other stuff going on.

But the Mustangs got a nice victory over Mount Marty on the road, 42-7.

And when he ended up getting injured in that playoff game, that was him doing the extra to get the first down and burn the clock, I remember.

Yeah, that was a great game down there at Baker.

And, you know, he had a number of great, great games and just a great career here and excited about him going into the Morningside Hall of Fame.

Yeah, absolutely.

Coach, I won't keep you.

I remember going up.

I used to cover Morningside, too, when they were in the North Central

Conference.

We'd go up and play the Jackrabbits, and I... who did the games he'd always volunteered to do by color was darwin bishop you remember yes i know

And Corey, here we go in football and, uh, uh, uh, we look back at last week, two games that really stuck out.

Obviously Morningside-Dort showed those two teams are really good.

And then, uh, Midland and all the, you know, all the coaches have told me Midland could be one of their best seasons, uh, in a while, and they have been pretty good, but that's a huge win up in Orange City.

No doubt.

You know, talking on the show last week with Zach, we talked about Sioux County, you know, being kind of a trajectory changer in the, in the league, and it, it lived up to that.

You know, Morningside and Dort has just become a great football game now over the years, and, uh, ultimately Morningside outlasted them in that game and got the win.

Now, you go over to Midland, you know, that, that's a huge win to go to Northwestern and get that.

And so Midland stays on top of the league at a undefeated record joining Dakota Wesleyan who remain undefeated, and now those two play this week for the conference lead.

Yeah.

The win over Morningside, if only.

35-31 loss for the defenders and, uh, Matt, you were tied up at soccer, so is Isabel running the show at football.

I, I felt like we were going to, we, I had my uniform and helmet on.

It was set up for them.

And at the end of it all, you have run about 170 plays from scrimmage between the two teams and, uh, comes down to one or two plays.

And unfortunately for the defenders and fortunately for Morningside, the, uh, Yeah, kind of swung their way specifically at the end.

Isabel? Your thoughts.

... or 23-24, and either you're serving or passing.

So like I said, I think, um, you know, Morningside itself and just even the crowd here in the Siouxland area just is grasping high-level volleyball a lot more to where, you know, our matches are very fun to, to be around because the things that they cheer for isn't just a kill.

It's a cheer for, um, an aggressive serve.

Mm-hmm.
