Throughout the Drake Athletics Department in 2023, 𝟕 conference champions were crowned, records were shattered and multiple individuals qualified for the NCAA Championships.
Here’s to even more success in 2024!

For the first time since '08, a DMPS football team defeats a DM suburban school. Roosevelt beat Waukee tonight, 19-3, snapping a 134-game losing streak.
Last DMPS team to win: Lincoln, 13-12 over Urbandale, Aug. '08.
Shoutout to the 'Riders, man.

Reflecting on our season the past few days. So proud of the way our team fought this year.
Went 8-0 in league and secured the program’s first FCS Playoff appearance.
Special shout out to the big boys up front. Way to FIGHT all year. FCS leaders in sacks allowed. Love y’all!
Extremely blessed to be coached by this guy! Proud to call him a mentor and role model. Has positively impacted my life and will continue doing so with FCA. Best of luck in this transition, no one is better fit for the job.

Need to share that yesterday was my last as a Drake Football Coach. I’ve loved coaching here the last 10 years. Made so many amazing memories with so many great people. I’m joining Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) here in Des Moines and really really fired up for it.

In his first year as the Iowa City High head football coach, Moore rejuvenated the storied program. He led the Little Hawks to a 10-2 record and their first state semifinal appearance since 2010.

Had the opportunity to work with some DM Roosevelt players throughout the spring, that program is going places, and it’d be a shame to not let them and the other DM public schools finish the season they’d already started.
