James Koop recently retired from his duties as the head football coach at AGWSR. He was the program’s head coach for 10 seasons, and spent 27 seasons total among Northwestern College, AGWSR, Alden and Northeast Hamilton.
 
When he took over as the head coach for his alma mater, he had a mission to positively impact student-athletes beyond the game.

West Fork freshman Talia Pommrehn wasted little time making school history.

Pommrehn broke the school record in the 100-meter dash at the season-opening meet March 30 in St. Ansgar, finishing in 13.26 seconds. The previous mark of 13.33 was set by Hailey Clausen in 2018.

The record-setting performance came in West Fork’s first outdoor meet of the 2025-26 season.

With indoor track and field underway, the outdoor Hampton-Dumont-CAL track and field season is upon us, and the Bulldogs are ready to get the season started.

The Hampton-Dumont-CAL boys soccer team will look to build off of a solid 20225 season. Last season, the Bulldogs had a record of 10-4-3 on the season and 6-3 in conference play. The Bulldogs defeated the Charles City Comets by a score of 7-1 on May 20, 2025 in the first round of the Class 2A Region 2 playoffs before losing to the Aplington-Parkersburg Falcons by a score of 7-1 in the second round on May 27, 2025.

The Hampton-Dumont-Girls basketball team will be led by first year head coach Jackie Finley for the 2026 season. The girls' team had a record of 0-14-1 last season and have not won a game since the 2023 season. Coach Finley discussed how the girls can get over the hump and collect that first win this season and be overall more competitive in games.

The 2026 West Fork boys track and field season is just around the corner and the Warhawks will look to build on the success they had last season. The Warhawks finished in the top five in five of their 10 outdoor meets last season and qualified one athlete for state. Xavier Haller qualified for state as a senior in the high jump last year and was part of a group of seniors who were a big part of the team's success last season.

After a strong 2025 season, the West Fork girls track and field team will look to have similar success in the 2026 season. The Warhawks qualified nine girls for the state meet and had seven top three finishes in meets as a team, including placing second in the Top of Iowa-East Conference track meet and third in the state qualifier meet.
