A battle for first place will take place today at Buxton Stadium on the Simpson College Campus, as the Simpson Storm football team hosts Dubuque on senior day.

Both squads come in with a 5-1 conference record and in a three-way tie for first place along with Wartburg. A win today for the Storm would give them sole possession of first place in the American Rivers Conference, having the head-to-head tiebreaker with Wartburg. A win would also put the Storm in excellent position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2003, since their only remaining game on the schedule would be winless Buena Vista. The Storm will have to contain the Spartans Dwayne Allen Jr. however, as he currently is one of the top playmakers in the conference, and sits second in rushing yards. Listen to the game live on AM 1320/FM 95.3/FM 94.3 KNIA, KNIAKRLS.com, and the free KNIA mobile app with Andrew Swadner and Rick Wilson on the play-by-play. Pregame starts at 12:35, and kickoff is slated for 1pm.
