Drake is making history in Iowa

Filed under: Amateur Sports, Athletes, Basketball, Coaches — Author @ 10:55 am

The Iowa travel guide lists several sports events as hot spots in the state. Of course they include the University of Iowa Hawks and the Iowa State Cyclones at the top of the list. Surprisingly the pro and semi pro teams fall under those two college teams in attendance rankings. Then they list the lower class teams such as UNI and Drake, although most of the state’s attention seems to be focused on the Drake basketball team this season. This team offers no scholarships but managed to get ranked in the top twenty in the nation. They are expected to get into the sweet sixteen this year with a good shot at the final four. No one wants to jinx their chances by picking them as the number one winner, but there have been whispers on the subject. The team was coached by Tom Davis until he retired last season. The new coach is none other than coach Davis’ son Keno. The players claim that they could barely tell the coach had changed, but apparently Keno has what it takes to make the chemistry work for the players. They will tell you that no one of them is a standout but together they are a force to be reckoned with.
