ADEL, Iowa – October 24, 2025 – The Adel-DeSoto-Minburn Tigers capped off their regular season in dominant fashion Friday night, rolling past Denison-Schleswig 43-0 at Tiger Stadium. The win solidified ADM's perfect 5-0 district record and pushed their overall mark to 8-1 heading into the Class 4A state playoffs.

Although the Tigers started slower than usual, senior running back Reed Obstarczyk powered the ADM offense with a career night, rushing for 191 yards on 16 carries and scoring five touchdowns. Obstarczyk found the end zone on the Tigers' second offensive possession with a 29-yard run, setting the tone for what would be a relentless night on the ground.
