Iowa Preps Article on Drew Utterback

Utterback excelling in hoops

Sigourney athlete Andrew Utterback has helped his high school have success in a number of sports over the last few years.  But this winter, he is doing everything he can to keep his basketball team competitive.

"We still have a young team but we are much improved. I think good things will happen for us.

Utterback believes that things have really changed versus a season ago. 

"I like it a lot because the guys last year didn't quite know the offense. We are getting to know each other better and things will be going up for us."

Football is somewhere that Utterback had success this fall while playing quarterback. 

"We finished 5-4 and beat the district champs in the last game but didn't make the playoffs. We let a couple games slip away that we could have won. We should have gone to the playoffs so it was a rough season."

Utterback is skilled in the sports mentioned but his college aspirations are in another field. 

"Baseball has always been my main focus. I've done a lot for AAU with that and traveled to showcases."

A wide range of schools have been showing Utterback some early attention. 

"Basically I've just been getting invites to campus and showcase from different colleges. I got a showcase form from Creighton, Coe College, and Arizona State but we weren't able to make that one. It has been Iowa and other colleges around here."

Utterback grew up wanting to play baseball at a school that no longer offers it. 

"I always wanted to go to UNI and play baseball but that went under last year. That was always my dream."
