CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Just on the outer edges of the top-5 college teams of the century is the 2016-17 Kirkwood women’s basketball team.
That winter the Eagles finished a perfect 37-0, becoming the first NJCAA DII women’s team to ever complete a perfect season.
There were two All-Americans on that team, including Simone Goods, who was the DII national player of the year.
This year we’re celebrating the best of the best from the sports world in Eastern Iowa over the last 25 years. The over-arcing theme of this series will be “The Stories of the Century”. During this year, we’ll count down the top 25 athletes, coaches, and teams from the past 25 years.
The year will be divided up into fourths, with the first portion of the year being dedicated to the best teams (both high school and college) from the last 25 years.
Every Monday we’ll be releasing two more prep teams, and every Wednesday we’ll announce two college teams who will be added to the list.
