Newton boys, coach on Team Iowa football team

Four Newton youth football players and one coach are traveling to Canton, Ohio, this weekend as members of the Team Iowa seventh-grade football squad. The team plays in the Hall of Fame Classic against teams from Missouri, Colorado and Texas.

Zayvier Arguello, Austin Brady, Evan Grimm and Reese Hammons will be playing for Team Iowa. Ryan Arguello, who was an assistant football coach for Newton High School this fall, is coaching Team Iowa.

Zayvier Arguello plays quarterback and running back. Brady and Grimm are defensive tackles. Hammons is a wide receiver.

The four were chosen out of 155 players who came to team tryouts in the spring, summer and fall, according to Coach Arguello.

“The players will have an opportunity to tour the NFL Hall of Fame and have a training session with some of the Hall of Fame players,” Coach Arguello said.
