On this episode of the Dubuque Area Sports Podcast, Everybody’s Favorite Coach — Coach Maneman — is joined by Landon McKay, one of the top returning playmakers for the Dubuque Hempstead Mustangs.

Landon has been a steady force in the Hempstead passing game the last few years, leading the Mustangs in receptions, yards, and touchdown catches last season. Despite finishing 6–3 in 2024, the Mustangs narrowly missed the playoffs — and now McKay and his teammates are hungry to flip that script in 2025.

In this episode, we cover:

🏈 What last year’s near-playoff miss taught the Mustangs

💪 Landon’s development as Hempstead’s go-to receiver

🔁 How the Mustangs are approaching this season differently

⚡ The excitement and intensity of the upcoming city rivalry game vs. Dubuque Senior

🙌 Landon’s leadership role and message to Mustang Nation

If you love rivalry games, gritty city matchups, and hearing from one of Hempstead’s most important offensive weapons, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
