Erik Stevenson, Jamarius Burton, Jaime Echenique and Tyson Etienne added 13 points apiece for the Shockers.Eddy Kayouloud had 23 points for the Bears (1-7), whose losing streak reached six games.

Sherfield leads Wichita St. over Cent. Arkansas 95-69

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Last season New England needed a last-second field goal to slip by Kansas City during the regular season and overtime to do it again in the AFC championship game. Reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs get another chance this week against a Patriots team that’s struggling on offense but has one of the NFL’s top defenses. Playoff implications are at stake for both teams. New England can extend its NFL record to 11 consecutive playoff berths with a win. Kansas City can clinch the AFC West title with a win and Oakland loss.&nbsp; KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Royals manager Mike Matheny has announced his first coaching staff in Kansas City and most of the names are familiar. Hitting coach Terry Bradshaw and pitching coach Cal Eldred will return from Ned Yost's staff in the same roles. Pedro Grifol will move from working with catchers to bench coach, Rusty Kuntz will move back to first base and Vance Wilson will shift to third base. Larry Carter is joining the big league club after working with Royals minor league players, and John Mabry and Rafael Belliard are the newcomers to the organization. WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Grant Sherfield had 15 points to lead five Wichita State players in double figures as the Shockers rolled past Central Arkansas 95-69. Erik Stevenson, Jamarius Burton, Jaime Echenique and Tyson Etienne added 13 points apiece for the Shockers. DENTON, Texas (AP) — Kristian Doolittle got the last of his 28 points when he swished a 3-pointer with 13.5 seconds remaining and Oklahoma beat North Texas 82-80. The Sooners hadn't led since the game's opening minutes when their only senior hit the go-ahead shot Thursday night. Austin Reaves added 22 points for 7-1 Oklahoma. North Texas dropped to 3-6. The Mean Green had a final chance but Thomas Bell's 3-pointer ricocheted off the rim as time ran out. Umoja Gibson led North Texas with 21 points. UNDATED (AP) — No. 6 Oklahoma and No. 8 Baylor will play in the Big 12 championship game with a possible playoff spot on the line. Both teams are 11-1. The Sooners are going for their fifth consecutive Big 12 title in Saturday's game at the home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. Oklahoma has been to the playoff three of the last four seasons. This is Baylor's first Big 12 title game. The Bears have a chance to avenge their only loss. They lost 34-31 at home to Oklahoma just three weeks ago. UNDATED (AP) — LSU will have plenty of fans on the campuses of Oklahoma, Baylor and perhaps Utah this week. A Georgia upset of LSU in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday likely puts two SEC teams into the College Football Playoff. The Pac-12 and Big 12 would probably get left out of the four-team field in that case. An LSU victory would essentially eliminate Georgia while opening up a spot for either Utah or the winner of Saturday's Big 12 championship game between Oklahoma and Baylor. Utah first must worry about beating Oregon in Friday's Pac-12 championship game.&nbsp; National Headlines CHICAGO (AP) — Mitchell Trubisky threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score in the Chicago Bears' 31-24 victory over the slumping Dallas Cowboys. Trubisky shook off an early interception near the goal line to complete 23 of 31 passes for 244 yards, helping Chicago improve to 7-6. Dak Prescott was 27 of 49 for 334 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys, who have dropped three straight to fall to 6-7. CINCINNATI (AP) — All-Star infielder Mike Moustakas completed a $64 million, four-year contract with the Cincinnati Reds, the biggest free agent deal in franchise history. They agreed to the deal earlier in the week. Moustakas was in town to sign it Thursday and get introduced at the team's annual fan festival. Cincinnati scored the fourth-fewest runs in the NL last season despite one of the league’s most hitter-friendly ballparks. NEW YORK (AP) — Outfielder Jake Marisnickhas been acquired by the New York Mets from the Houston Astros for two prospects -- left-hander Blake Taylor and outfielder Kenedy Corona. Marisnick could play center field and allow the Mets to use Brandon Nimmo primarily in left. The 28-year-old Marisnick hit .233 with 10 homers, 34 RBIs and 10 steals last season. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins will make further extensions to safety netting at Target Field next season. This is the third such enhancement they've made in five years. The latest additions will leave the ballpark with netting on the left-field line at 275 feet long and 22 feet high. The right-field line will have coverage 255 feet long and 21 feet high. The nets above the dugouts will also be stretched to 16 feet high. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos star linebacker Von Miller says he might miss the game against the Houston Texans because of his left knee injury. Miller revealed he sprained the MCL in his left knee two weeks ago against Buffalo. He was held out last weekend against the Los Angeles Chargers, ending his 95-game starting streak. FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Antwaun Woods has been arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and tampering with evidence. Police in the Dallas suburb of Frisco say Woods told them he tried to put out a marijuana cigarette when he knew he was about to be stopped for speeding. The Cowboys' practice facility is in Frisco. Woods is injured and won’t play Thursday night at Chicago.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — NCAA rushing leader Chuba Hubbard from Oklahoma State has been named the Big 12 offensive player of the year. Big 12 sacks leader James Lynch from Baylor was named the top defensive player. The Big 12 awards released Wednesday were determined by a vote of the league's 10 coaches. Baylor coach Matt Rhule was chosen by his peers as the top coach after his No. 8 Bears went from 11 losses two years ago to 11 wins and a spot in this year's Big 12 championship game. Oklahoma graduate transfer quarterback Jalen Hurts was named the league's offensive newcomer of the year.&nbsp; WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor coach Matt Rhule and Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley took over their teams under drastically different circumstances. Rhule left Temple for Baylor three years ago in the aftermath of a scandal that left the Bears with a depleted roster. Riley was the hand-picked successor when 10-time Big 12 champion coach Bob Stoops retired in 2017.&nbsp;The two will coach against each other in the Big 12 championship game Saturday. Both teams are 11-1 and the winner could possibly get in the four-team College Football Playoff when pairings are announced Sunday. CHICAGO (AP) — Jalen Coleman-Lands scored eight of his 18 points in overtime to lead DePaul to a 65-60 win over Texas Tech. DePaul (9-0) is off to its best start since the 1986-87 season where the Blue Demons started 16-0. STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — With Georgetown missing two of its top five scorers, Mac McClung stepped up and scored a season-high 33 points to help the Hoyas hand Oklahoma State its first loss of the season, 81-74. McClung connected on 12 of 21 shots, including 4 of 8 from 3-point range. Omer Yurtseven added 19 points and nine rebounds for the Hoyas. AMES, Iowa (AP) — Senior Michael Jacobson scored 19 points on 8 of 9 shooting and Iowa State beat Kansas City 79-61. Tyrese Haliburton added 19 points and seven assists for the Cyclones, who won despite another frigid night from beyond the arc. Iowa State finished just 5 of 21 on 3s. Kansas City (5-5) got as close as 57-54 with 6:37 left. The Cyclones responded with six quick points, and Rasir Bolton's 3-point dunk pushed their lead to 69-58, and Haliburton and Bolton followed with 3 that sealed a win that was much uglier than the final score suggested.&nbsp;&nbsp; ATLANTA (AP) — Court records show Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has settled a lawsuit filed against him by his former girlfriend. Delicia Cordon had sued McCoy last year, saying he failed to protect her from a violent July 2018 home invasion at a house he owned just outside Atlanta. McCoy was not at the home during the attack. He played for the Buffalo Bills at the time. The parties notified the court last month that they had resolved the lawsuit. The terms of the settlement are not disclosed in online court records. A judge on Wednesday ordered the case closed. National Headlines UNDATED (AP) — Championship weekend is coming up in college football. AP College Fooball Writer Ralph Russo notes that it rarely produces the type of upsets that throw the national championship race into turmoil. Ohio State, LSU and Clemson are the top teams in the playoff rankings. Russo says all three could lose this weekend and still make the four-team playoff. He is picking Baylor to upset Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game on Saturday. Bowl announcements will come on Sunday. UNDATED (AP) — Ohio State will go into championship weekend as the top team in the College Football Playoff selection committee’s rankings, followed by LSU, Clemson and Georgia. Utah was fifth, Oklahoma sixth and Baylor seventh in the committee’s second-to-last top 25. The final rankings that set the pairings for the national semifinals come out Sunday after each FBS conference plays a championship game this weekend. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies hope they’ve bolstered their starting rotation by adding Zack Wheeler. Two people familiar with the deal tell The Associated Press that the free-agent right-hander has accepted a five-year, $118 contract with the Phillies. Wheeler spent his first seven seasons with the Mets and was 11-8 with a 3.96 ERA for New York this year. NEW YORK (AP) — A hedge fund manager whose company paid $1.8 billion in U.S. criminal and civil settlements is in negotiations to increase his stake in the New York Mets. The ballclub left open the possibility Steven Cohen eventually could become controlling owner in a deal with Sterling Partners. Fred Wilpon would be allowed to remain as controlling owner and chief executive officer for five years, while Jeff Wilpon would remain as CEO. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman says the city will not allow the Tampa Bay Rays to pursue a plan to split home games between new stadiums that would be built in Florida and Montreal. Kriseman informed the City Council in a memo today that he and the team agree that the “best path forward” is to abide by an existing contract that requires the Rays to play at Tropicana Field through 2027. Principal owner Stuart Sternberg has been trying to garner support for a replacement to Tropicana Field for nearly a decade and envisions building two open-air stadiums to house the team as a viable solution. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California has decided to retain Clay Helton, extending the head coach’s 4 ½-year tenure atop the West Coast’s winningest college football program. New athletic director Mike Bohn announced the decision four days after the No. 24 Trojans missed out on a trip to the conference title game when they finished one game behind No. 5 Utah in the Pac-12 South. Southern Cal is 8-4 this season and finished 7-2 in the Pac-12.

Kansas State was picked to finish second-to-last in the Big 12 under new coach Chris Klieman. The Wildcats responded by going 8-4 and locking up a spot in a high-profile bowl game. Kansas State finished in a tie for third in the Big 12 after a season that included a win over powerhouse Oklahoma. Klieman was hired from North Dakota State to replace Wildcats legend Bill Snyder.

K-State goes bowling in Klieman’s first season in charge

The Royals and left-hander Mike Montgomery have agreed to a $3.1 million contract for next season to avoid salary arbitration. The club’s once-heralded prospect returned to Kansas City last season as part of a trade with the Cubs. He went 2-7 with a 4.64 ERA down the stretch. The numbers were good enough for the Royals to believe Montgomery could be part of the rotation next season. Montgomery made $2.44 million last season. He is 23-34 with a 3.83 ERA in 180 career appearances.

Kansas State takes on Marquette at home on Saturday.

Evins Desir led the Rattlers with 18 points and eight rebounds and M.J. Randolph scored 10 in the game. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The biggest culprit in the Kansas City Chiefs’ loss to the New England Patriots in last season’s AFC championship game was their defense. It failed to stop Tom Brady and Co. down the stretch and in overtime in a crushing home defeat. With a trip to New England looming Sunday, the Chiefs’ revamped defense is finally rounding into form. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals and left-hander Mike Montgomery have agreed to a $3.1 million contract for next season to avoid salary arbitration. The club’s once-heralded prospect returned to Kansas City last season as part of a trade with the Cubs. He went 2-7 with a 4.64 ERA down the stretch. The numbers were good enough for the Royals to believe Montgomery could be part of the rotation next season. Montgomery made $2.44 million last season. He is 23-34 with a 3.83 ERA in 180 career appearances. No. 6 Oklahoma and No. 8 Baylor could be playing for more than a Big 12 championship in their rematch on Saturday. A spot in the College Football Playoff seems much more feasible for the Big 12 champion after some other top teams lost. Oklahoma and Baylor are both 11-1. Baylor has rebounded from its only loss. The Bears have had convincing wins over Texas and Kansas since Oklahoma rallied from 25 points down to beat Baylor. MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State was picked to finish second-to-last in the Big 12 under new coach Chris Klieman. The Wildcats responded by going 8-4 and locking up a spot in a high-profile bowl game. Kansas State finished in a tie for third in the Big 12 after a season that included a win over powerhouse Oklahoma. Klieman was hired from North Dakota State to replace Wildcats legend Bill Snyder. National Headlines UNDATED (AP) — Louisville climbed to No. 1 in the latest reshuffling of The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll while Michigan matched a record by going from unranked to No. 4. The Cardinals became the fourth No. 1 in five weeks this season following Duke’s home loss to Stephen F. Austin. Kansas is second, followed by Maryland in a week when every spot in the poll changed. The Wolverines matched Kansas in 1989 for the biggest jump from being unranked in the history of the poll that dates to 1949. UNDATED (AP) — No. 1 Louisville faces No. 4 Michigan after both climb the AP Top 25. The Cardinals moved to No. 1 for the first time in 6 years in this week’s poll. The Wolverines matched the biggest climb for an unranked team in the 70-year history of the poll by hitting No. 4 after winning the Battle 4 Atlantis. SEATTLE (AP) — Rashaad Penny scored one touchdown rushing and one receiving in the Seahawks’ 37-30 win over the Vikings. Seattle trailed 17-10 until Penny burst into the end zone on a one-yard run early in the third quarter. The Seahawks pulled ahead on a field goal and took control when Russell Wilson hit David Moore for a 60-yard TD. The Seahawks took control of first place in the NFC West at 10-2, while the 8-4 Vikings fell one game behind the NFC North-leading Green Bay Packers. SEATTLE (AP) — Chris Petersen has unexpectedly resigned as head football coach at Washington after six seasons and a 54-26 record with the Huskies. The Huskies coming off a 7-5 regular season and bound for a sixth straight bowl game under his leadership. Peterson will coach in the team’s upcoming bowl game before handing over the reins to defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone is going back with rookie Gardner Minshew as his starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Minshew went 4-4 as the starter early this season while Nick Foles recovered from a broken left collarbone suffered in the opener. Foles was benched at halftime yesterday in favor of Minshew with the Jags trailing 25-0 in a 28-11 loss to Tampa Bay. CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds have worked out a four-year, $64 million package with free-agent infielder Mike Moustakas. Moustakas batted .254 with 35 homers and 87 RBIs this year and made his third All-Star team. The 31-year-old could fill the Reds’ hole at second base that opened when Scooter Gennett (jeh-NEHT’) got hurt and then was traded last season.

JACK SOCK, OVERLAND PARK – STUDENT (Blue Valley North HS, 2008-2011)When it comes to high school tennis, Jack Sock did and is doing what few high school players in Kansas were able to accomplish. As a student-athlete at Blue Valley North HS he was a four-time KSHSAA Class 6A Singles Champion, posting an 80-0 record. Jack was a gifted tennis player and could have easily attended numerous tennis academies, but he wanted to be part of a high school team and be as “normal” as possible for a top-ranked junior tennis player in America. During high school matches you would find him cheering on every member of the team. The year after he graduated from high school, he played in the finals of the Mixed Doubles at the US Open. Additional feats include Wimbledon Doubles Champion (2014, 2018); capturing a Gold medal in Mixed Doubles and a Bronze in Doubles at the 2016 Olympics; winning the US Open in Doubles (2018). KIMBROOK TENNAL, CENTRALIA – FACULTYKimbrook Tennal’s volleyball coaching records and accomplishments are absolutely mind-boggling. In 20 years as a head volleyball coach at Nemaha Valley HS (3A) and Centralia HS (1A), his record was 791-49 (.941).

He coached six undefeated seasons which included a 137-match winning streak and other streaks of 80, 78, 76 and 52 consecutive wins. He finished his volleyball career winning five of the last six 1A titles and posted a 100-1 record in the last two years. Tennal also experienced success in his 14 years of coaching girls basketball. His incredible record of 307-48 (.865) produced three state championships, two runner-up and two third place finishes. And, in 16 years he coached 14 gold medal athletes in pole vault, javelin and discus.

Her state records in 2A triple jump (1990) and 3A long jump and triple jump (1991) have yet to be broken. In basketball she helped the Black Bears to second, third and fourth place finishes at the state tournament. Rene was an outstanding example of not only a student-athlete but also an all-around student – KMEA District Honor Band; drum majorette; Forensics (member of state championship team); SHS Theatre Award; Quiz Bowl co-captain; cheerleader (UCA All Star Team); National Honor Society and honor roll (four years).

Five selected for KSHSAA Hall of Fame 

By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer Alabama dropped to No. 9 in The Associated Press college football poll, snapping the Crimson Tide’s record streak of 68 appearances in the top five. The top four teams in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank were unchanged, with LSU at No. 1, followed by Ohio State, Clemson and Georgia. The Buckeyes gained on LSU after their blowout victory at Michigan, receiving 19 first-place votes. The Tigers had 40, down 10 from last week. Clemson received three first-place votes. Utah moved up to No. 5, followed by Oklahoma, Florida and Baylor. The Crimson Tide lost to Auburn in a wild Iron Bowl on Saturday to give it two regular-season losses for the first time since 2010. The four-spot drop by Alabama broke a string of top-five appearances that began Nov. 8, 2015. The week before the Tide’s run started it had been seventh, and it had been as low as 12th earlier that season. Alabama passed the old record for consecutive top-five appearances of 55 by Miami (Oct. 8, 2000-Oct. 26, 2003) last season. Wisconsin moved up three spots to No. 10 after routing Minnesota. The Gophers dropped six spots to No. 15. POLL POINTS Alabama could still finish ranked in the top five with a victory in its bowl game, but it would need some losses by teams ahead of it to make that big of a jump. There will be one more regular-season Top 25 after next weekend’s conference championship games and then the final poll after all the bowls and national championship game have been played. The last time the Crimson Tide finished a season outside the top five was 2013, when it lost the Iron Bowl on the famous Kick-Six and then dropped the Sugar Bowl to Oklahoma. Other notable top-five streaks: 55 — Miami, Oct. 8, 2000-Oct. 26, 2003 (30 weeks at No. 1). 48 — Alabama, Preseason 2011-Dec. 8, 2013 (25 at No. 1). 48 — Oklahoma, Nov. 16, 1953-Nov. 11, 1957 (23 at No. 1). 48 — Ohio State, Preseason 1973-Sept. 20, 1976 (24 at No. 1). Alabama did pass another milestone, extending its streak of consecutive weeks ranked to 210 (2008 preseason-present), moving past Florida for the third-longest streak in poll history. Florida was ranked for 209 straight weeks from Sept. 9, 1990-Oct. 5, 2002. Nebraska has the longest streak at 348 weeks (Oct. 12, 1981-Sept. 22, 2002) and Florida State is second with 211 weeks (Sept. 24, 1989-Nov. 11, 2001). IN — No. 22 Virginia returned to the Top 25 after beating Virginia Tech on Friday to win the ACC Coastal Division for the first time. — No. 25 Air Force is ranked for the first time since 2010. With Navy at No. 23, there are two service academies ranked at the same time for the first time since Oct. 14, 1985, when Air Force was No. 10 and Army was No. 19. OUT — Oklahoma State dropped out after losing to rival Oklahoma. — Virginia Tech fell out after two weeks ranked. CONFERENCE CALL Big Ten — 6 (Nos. 2, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18). SEC — 5 (Nos. 1, 4, 7, 9, 11). American — 3 (Nos. 16, 21, 23). Pac 12 — 3 (Nos. 5, 13, 24). ACC — 2 (Nos. 3, 22). Big 12 — 2 (Nos. 6, 8). Mountain West — 2 (Nos. 19, 25). Sun Belt — 1 (No. 20). Independent — 1 (No. 14). RANKED vs. RANKED Pac-12 championship: No. 5 Utah vs. No. 13 Oregon at Santa Clara, California, on Friday. Southeastern Conference championship: No. 1 LSU vs. No. 4 Georgia at Atlanta. Big Ten championship: No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 10 Wisconsin at Indianapolis. Atlantic Coast Conference championship: No. 3 Clemson vs. No. 22 Virginia at Charlotte, North Carolina. Big 12 championship: No. 6 Oklahoma vs. No. 8 Baylor at Arlington, Texas. American Athletic Conference: No. 21 Cincinnati at No. 16 Memphis.

AP Top 25: Alabama out of top 5 for first time in 4 years

By DAVE SKRETTAAP Sports Writer KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Patrick Mahomes threw for a touchdown and ran for a touchdown, Juan Thornhill returned a pick 46 yards for another score, and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the bumbling Oakland Raiders 40-9 on Sunday to seize control of the AFC West. LeSean McCoy and Darwin Thompson also had TD runs for the Chiefs (8-4), who took a two-game lead over the Raiders by finishing off a season sweep. That means Kansas City can clinch a fourth straight division title with a win over New England and an Oakland loss to Tennessee next weekend. Oakland (6-6) sure didn't play like a team fighting for a piece of the division lead. Derek Carr dropped to 0-6 at Arrowhead Stadium with another miserable outing, throwing for 222 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. The Raiders failed to score twice in the red zone, were penalized 12 times for 99 yards, and seemingly quit when Kansas City put together a 9 1/2-minute drive almost entirely on the ground that soaked up most of the fourth quarter. When the Raiders finally scored a touchdown in the last minute, the Chiefs blocked the extra point and returned it for two points — one more insult to Oakland in a game full of them. It was the Raiders' seventh straight loss in Kansas City, and the continuation of a major late-season spiral. The blowout came on the heels of a 34-3 loss to the Jets last weekend. Josh Jacobs was Oakland's lone bright spot, running for 104 yards on 17 carries. Both teams struggled to move the ball at times with frosty winds whipping at 40 mph out of the west. Flurries even fell during halftime, adding to the misery for fans huddled in the stands.As if those dressed in silver and black weren't depressed enough. In the first half alone, Carr threw both of his interceptions. The Raiders lost a fumble on a kick return; failed to convert on fourth-and-1; committed seven penalties; and watched Daniel Carlson yank a 44-yard field-goal attempt about 20 yards wide left. The Chiefs took advantage of all the squandered opportunities.Mahomes, who perhaps more than anyone benefited from a week off, capped a 47-yard drive in the first quarter with a short TD pass to Darrel Williams. Then, late in the first half, the reigning MVP scrambled to his left and ran untouched 13 yards for another touchdown. The Chiefs put the game out of reach in the third quarter. First, they moved swiftly downfield on the opening possession before Harrison Butker drilled a 50-yard field goal into the wind. Then, on their next possession, Mahomes threw a pick in the end zone that was overturned when replay showed wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was held on the play. The penalty gave Kansas City the ball back and McCoy scored moments later. Oakland finally ended the Chiefs' streak of 59 straight points against them when Carlson hit a chip-shot field goal in the fourth quarter. The streak dated to their Week 2 matchup and was a record for a 122-game series that traces its roots to the earliest days of the AFL. It was also ended the Raiders' streak of 15 drives against Kansas City without a point. REID ME A STORYChiefs coach Andy Reid improved to 25-3 against the AFC West dating to 2015. He also improved to 18-3 in games after a bye, including an 11-1 mark at home, dating to his days in Philadelphia. INJURIESChiefs: RB Damien Williams (ribs) was inactive. ... CB Rashad Fenton (hamstring) departed in the second quarter, while Darrel Williams (hamstring) and DE Frank Clark (shoulder) left in the third. UP NEXTOakland: begins a two-game homestand against the Titans on Sunday. Kansas City: visits the Patriots in an AFC title game rematch on Sunday.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Chris Klieman gathered his players in the locker room after a heart-stopping win at Texas Tech and challenged not his seniors, who soon would be playing their final game for Kansas State, but the rest of the guys who would be around for years to come. The first-year coach wanted his youngsters to lay it on the line for the veterans. “Without question,” he said, “they played an excellent football game.” Jacardia Wright ran for a touchdown, fellow freshman Joshua Youngblood returned a kickoff 93 yards for another score, and the Wildcats’ aggressive defense shut down Brock Purdy and high-flying Iowa State to win a 27-17 defensive slugfest on a cold, windy Saturday night. The Wildcats (8-4, 5-4 Big 12) only managed 57 yards passing and 288 yards of total offense, but they scored the final 13 points while holding the Cyclones in check. “At halftime I told the guys, ‘We just have to make some more plays. If we make some plays we’ll be fine,” Klieman said. “I could sense a lot of life on our sideline. We just had to make a play.” There wasn’t a whole lot of life left in the Iowa State sideline by the final whistle. Purdy was just 15 of 30 for 185 yards passing and a touchdown, and the Cyclones (7-5, 5-4) only had 236 yards in all. Their biggest problem came in converting third downs — they were 1 of 13 — and that in turn led to a massive advantage for Kansas State in time of possession. The result: The Wildcats beat the Cyclones for the 11th time in 12 meetings in the game known as “Farmageddon.” They also have won seven straight in Manhattan against their fellow land-grant college. “Give credit to Kansas State. On a night like tonight, I thought they were the more physical team,” Cyclones coach Matt Campbell said. “The reality of it is, my hat’s off to them. They did what they needed to do to win the game and we didn’t.” It was Senior Day in Manhattan, but it was a freshman that provided the early fireworks. Youngblood fielded the opening kickoff on blustery night and angled toward the Iowa State sideline, then headed up field. There was nobody in a chrome red helmet between him and the end zone, and the fleet-footed receiver cruised to his nation-leading third kick return TD of the season. Kansas State’s offense soon got on track, too. After taking possession inside its own 10-yard line for the third straight time, the Wildcats used nearly 7 minutes to march 98 yards for the score. They converted three third downs, got some help from a personal foul penalty and capped it with Wright’s 12-yard touchdown run. “I had the same play in pregame warmups and I busted it the same way,” said Wright, who hadn’t played since Sept. 7 because of an ankle injury. “I was like, ‘OK!’” Iowa State finally gave Purdy time to answer, and the record-setting sophomore quarterback used it to pick apart Kansas State’s well-regarded secondary. Purdy threw a 15-yard strike to Sean Shaw Jr. for a touchdown, then connected with Tarique Milton for 60 yards to set up Breece Hall’s tying touchdown. That score came on fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line, and after Campbell and Klieman hilariously traded running downfield and frantically calling a total of four total timeouts. After trading field goals during an offensively inept third quarter, the Wildcats took advantage of good field position set up by their defense to pull ahead 24-17. Brown finished the methodical eight-play drive — entirely on the ground — by going untouched 15 yards with 10:24 left in the game. The Cyclones were forced to punt on their next possession, and Wright and Youngblood tore off long runs to set up Blake Lynch’s chip-shot field goal that effectively put the game out of reach. “There’s been some rough times, you know that,” Klieman said. “We’ve been on a little bit of a rollercoaster, but we continued to get better. The guys continued to buy in and learn more and get more invested in the program. Let’s credit where credit is due and that’s with the players.” BIG PICTURE Iowa State’s offense came into the game sixth nationally in passing at 330.5 yards per game, but Purdy struggled with the stiff, cold wind out of the west. He also got little help from his receivers, who dropped several passes — a few of them on crucial third downs. Kansas State stuck to its persona by running the ball, even though Iowa State led the Big 12 in rush defense, and it paid off. The Wildcats wore the Cyclones down at the line of scrimmage in the fourth quarter and that allowed them to break the 17-all tie. UP NEXT Both teams will await their bowl destinations next weekend.

State High School Championship Game Scores

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — No. 11 Baylor tuned up for a rematch with Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game in fine fashion. JaMycal Hasty ran for three touchdowns, the Bears forced lowly Kansas into committing six turnovers and they cruised through the second half to a 61-6 victory on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Charlie Brewer threw for 182 yards and a touchdown as Baylor (11-1, 8-1 Big 12, No. 9 CFP) equaled the school record for wins in Matt Rhule’s third season as coach. Trestan Ebner, Gerry Bohanon, Qualan Jones and Jacob Zeno also rushed for TDs as the Bears piled up 263 yards on the ground. Only three times since the program’s founding in 1899 have the Bears won 11 games in a season. “I’m really proud of them not just today but over the past two years, the process that they’ve had, the toughness, the grind,” said Rhule, who now has a chance to avenge a meltdown loss to the seventh-ranked Sooners earlier this month — their only loss of the season. With a spate of upsets Saturday, the Bears are still in the College Football Playoff picture, too. Kansas (3-9, 1-8) finished Les Miles’ first season as coach with its fourth straight loss. Carter Stanley was just 13 of 25 for 92 yards with three of the Jayhawks’ four interceptions in his final game. Manny Miles also threw an interception while Pooka Williams was held to 97 yards rushing. Baylor jumped on the Jayhawks midway through the first quarter when Gerry Bohanon scored from six yards out. Brewer found Tyquan Thornton with a 51-yard touchdown pass a few minutes later, and Hasty scored the first of his trio of touchdowns to make it 21-0 at the end of the first quarter. The rout was most certainly on. Baylor added a pair of field quals along with Trestan Ebner’s 14-yard touchdown run to carry a 34-0 lead into halftime, and Hasty tacked on a pair of touchdown runs to start the second half. The lone highlight for Kansas came when Miles, the backup quarterback and the coach’s son, threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Parchment. And even that was spoiled by a failed two-point conversion. "Whatever could've gone wrong,” Les Miles said, “did go wrong.” PUNT SUCCESS Kansas punter Kyle Thompson landed three punts inside the 20, including one that dropped at the 1-yard line. But it’s rarely a good day when the punter is the standout performer. REDZONE PERFECTION The high-powered Baylor offense entered the Kansas red zone nine times, converting each time. It was an impressive display by a team that could be headed for a shootout against the Sooners. 1,000-YARD MARK Williams became the second player in program history with consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons. He accomplished the feat despite missing the season opener because of a suspension. BIG PICTURE Baylor: The Bears were rolling against Oklahoma when the teams met earlier this month, only to let a big lead slip away in a 34-31 loss. But they’ve taken care of business the past two weeks, and their defense has been a big reason. They knocked off Texas 24-10 before shutting down the Jayhawks. Kansas: Another lackluster season in Lawrence came to an end, though there is hope for the future after a couple of impressive performances. The Jayhawks finally won a road game by beating Boston College and they had Texas on the ropes before losing a shootout in Austin. UP NEXT Baylor meets Oklahoma in the rejuvenated Big 12 title game while the Kansas coaching staff hits the recruiting trail in search of more talent on both sides of the ball.

No. 11 Baylor routs Kansas 61-6 behind Hasty’s big day

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — JaMycal Hasty rushed for three touchdowns and No. 11 Baylor forced six turnovers in a 61-6 victory over Kansas. Charlie Brewer threw for 182 yards and a touchdown as Baylor equaled the school record for wins in Matt Rhule’s third season as coach. MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Jordon Brown and Jacardia Wright ran for touchdowns, Joshua Youngblood took a kickoff back 93 yards for another score, and Kansas State beat Iowa State 27-17 in a defensive slugfest. The Wildcats only managed 57 yards passing and 291 yards of total offense, but they scored the final 13 points while holding the Cyclones’ high-powered offense in check. STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Kennedy Brooks rushed for 160 yards and a touchdown to help No. 7 Oklahoma beat No. 21 Oklahoma State 34-16. Jalen Hurts passed for 163 yards and a touchdown, rushed for 63 yards and a score and caught a touchdown pass for the Sooners in their fifth straight victory in the series. AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Courtney Ramey made two free throws with 8.4 seconds left, enabling Texas to escape with a 73-71 victory against McNeese State. McNeese’s Leondre Washington missed a 3-point attempt at an upset with three seconds remaining. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri has fired football coach Barry Odom. The dismissal ends the four-year stay of a respected former player who took over a program in disarray but could never get the Tigers over the hump in the brutal SEC. The Tigers finished 6-6 and 3-5 in the conference after beating Arkansas on Friday. That left Odom with a 25-25 record, a perfectly middling mark after Gary Pinkel’s successful run. National Headlines BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Joe Burrow padded his Heisman Trophy resume with 352 yards and three touchdowns passing as No.1 LSU clobbered Texas A&amp;M, 50-7. Burrow has 4,366 yards and 44 touchdowns passing this season, smashing LSU single-season records in both categories. His yards passing total also broke the SEC record, while his 44 TDs tie the conference single season mark. ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Second-ranked Ohio State beat No. 10 Michigan for a school-record eighth straight time as J.K. Dobbins ran for four touchdowns and Justin Fields threw for four more in a 56-27 rout at Ann Arbor. Dobbins ran 211 yards on 31 carries, while Fields was 14 of 25 for 302 yards. Fields appeared to suffer a left knee injury in the third quarter, but he returned to throw a 30-yard scoring strike off a scramble to help the Buckeyes improve to 12-0. COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — No. 3 Clemson stretched the nation’s longest winning streak to 27 games by blowing out South Carolina, 38-3. Trevor Lawrence threw for 295 yards and three touchdowns in the Tigers’ sixth consecutive win over their state rivals. Travis Etienne broke a pair of career conference records by running for two scores, giving him 53 rushing TDs and 57 total touchdowns for Clemson. ATLANTA (AP) — Fourth-ranked Georgia also enjoyed a laugher as Jake Frohm threw for four touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ 52-7 thumping of Georgia Tech. Frohm was 14 of 29 for 254 yards, connecting on scoring throws to Charlie Woerner, Tyler Simmons, George Pickens and Dominick Blaylock. Georgia finished the game without running back D’Andre Swift, who injured his left shoulder during his second fumble of the day. AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Alabama’s CFP hopes were destroyed by Auburn as Shaun Shivers scored on an 11-yard run with 8:08 left to put the 16th-ranked Tigers ahead in a 48-45 win over the No. 5 Crimson Tide. Auburn survived a final, marathon Crimson Tide drive when Joseph Bulovas’ 30-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright with 2:00 to play. Zakoby McClain brought back an interception 100 yards for a touchdown, and Smoke Monday had a 29-yard interception return for a score as the 9-3 Tigers dropped the Tide to 10-2.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jarret Doege threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Esdale with 2 minutes left and West Virginia beat TCU 20-17. The win to end coach Neal Brown’s first season kept the Horned Frogs from getting Bowl eligible. The game-winning drive by West Virginia was extended by two defensive penalties. Both teams are 5-7. AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Sam Ehlinger passed for two touchdowns and ran for another to send Texas to a 49-24 win over Texas Tech. The win means the Longhorns will at least finish a disappointing season with a winning record. Texas fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter before Ehlinger and the Longhorns came roaring back. Ehlinger scored his first rushing touchdown in five games, and later connected on scoring strikes of 75 yards to Devin Duvernay and 26 yards to Jake Smith. NEW YORK (AP) — Cameron McGriff scored 15 points as Oklahoma State routed Mississippi 78-37 in the championship game of the NIT Season Tip-Off at the Barclays Center. Yor Anei, who was named the tournament’s MVP, finished with 14 points, nine rebounds and four blocks for Oklahoma State (7-0). LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Keith Duncan kicked a 48-yard field goal with one second left, giving No. 19 Iowa a 27-24 win over Nebraska. The Hawkeyes overcame a sluggish second half offensively to beat the Cornhuskers for a fifth straight year and second year in a row on a late field goal. Nebraska scored twice in the third quarter to erase a 14-point deficit. The Huskers failed to get bowl eligible for a third straight year. LAS VEGAS (AP) — Marcus Zegarowski scored a career-high 32 points on 12-for-18 shooting, and Creighton beat No. 12 Texas Tech 83-76 in overtime. Ty-Shon Alexander had 18 points and 12 rebounds for Creighton in the consolation game of the Las Vegas Invitational. PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — Myles Powell scored 19 of his 24 points after halftime to help No. 13 Seton Hall beat Iowa State 84-76 in the fifth-place game at the Battle 4 Atlantis. Sandro Mamukelashvili added 18 points for the Pirates, who finally took control with a 12-2 second-half run. Rasir Bolton scored 20 points for the Cyclones. National Headlines FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots have changed kickers once again by signing veteran Kai Forbath. He replaces Nick Folk, who was released one day after he reportedly underwent an emergency appendectomy, and less than a month after he signed with the team. Forbath becomes the Patriots’ fourth kicker this season, succeeding Stephen Gostkowski, Mike Nugent and Folk. TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona Cardinals cornerback Josh Shaw has been suspended indefinitely for betting on NFL games on multiple occasions this season, the first time in more than 35 years a player has been banned for gambling. The NFL says its investigation found no evidence that Shaw used inside information or compromised any games. The league also says it found no evidence that teammates, coaches or other players were aware of Shaw betting on games. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio still isn’t saying who will start at quarterback against the Los Angeles Chargers tomorrow, even though he said rookie Drew Lock played well while taking three-fourths of the snaps with the starters at practice this week. Fangio says he still wants to look at the practice film of Lock and Brandon Allen, who has gone 1-2 as Denver’s starting QB since Joe Flacco went on injured reserve after eight games with a neck injury. NEW YORK (AP) — Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving has begun working on the court but will sit out at least one more game because of an injured right shoulder. Irving already has missed eight straight games, including yesterday’s 112-107 victory over the Boston Celtics. He averaged a team-high 28.5 points in 11 games before he was hurt.

Saturday Sports Headlines

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos did everything to prepare rookie quarterback Drew Lock for his first NFL start. They designed a game plan around his strengths, had him take most of the snaps with the starters all week, praised his progress, prepped him for production meetings and interviews and declared he’ll be brought off injured reserve and suit up Sunday for the first time. The one thing they didn’t do was anoint him the starter. “We haven’t decided yet,” coach Vic Fangio insisted when asked Friday who will be his starting quarterback Sunday when the Broncos (3-8) host the Los Angeles Chargers (4-7). “But we’re definitely going to activate Drew tomorrow and he’ll be dressing on Sunday for sure.” Why the delay? “I just wanted a chance to go in and look at the tape more extensively,” Fangio said, adding he’ll make up his mind “probably tomorrow.” “Or tonight.” It would make little sense for Fangio not to start Lock after giving him three-quarters of the snaps at practice all week, leaving only about 30 snaps for Brandon Allen, hardly enough for a QB with all of three starts on his resume to get ready for another starting assignment. Fangio said the decision would come down to Lock or Allen, leaving undrafted rookie Brett Rypien out of the mix. Rypien could be the odd man out when Lock is activated off injured reserve, although there are several other possibilities with so many players nicked up. Allen went 1-2 after veteran Joe Flacco went on IR with a neck injury, beating Cleveland in his debut but losing at Minnesota and Buffalo, which own two of the top six scoring defenses in the league. Lock would be the seventh starting quarterback for Denver since Peyton Manning retired in March 2016 after the Broncos won Super Bowl 50, joining Trevor Siemian, Paxton Lynch, Brock Osweiler, Case Keenum, Flacco and Allen. The teams remaining on Denver's schedule aren't that strong defensively. The Chargers rank 11th in scoring defense, but that game is at home, so Lock wouldn't have to deal with the noise on offense. He will have to face the din in games at Kansas City and Houston, but the Chiefs rank 19th and the Texans are 17th in scoring defense. The final two games are at home against Detroit (25th) and Oakland (26th). Lock, a project passer from Missouri whom the Broncos selected in the second round of the NFL draft, started the season on IR after spraining his right thumb in the preseason. He returned to practice Nov. 17, taking about 10 snaps per practice for the first two weeks before his workload was ramped up this week. “I think he’s made progress each and every day,” Fangio said. “When you go from getting 10 out of 42 reps to getting 32 out of 42 three days in a row you should get a little better, feel a little more comfortable. I think he has.” Although he wouldn’t say definitively who will be his QB, Fangio said cornerback Isaac Yiadom will start in place of scuffling Devontae Harris on Sunday, and he said both Von Miller and Alexander Johnson are 50-50 for Sunday with knee injuries. If Miller can’t go, it will snap a 95-game starting streak, including the playoffs. The last game he missed was Super Bowl 48 after suffering a knee injury in the next-to-last regular-season game in 2013.

Broncos coach still not saying who will start at QB

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jordan Bohannon had 20 points and six assists, Luka Garza added 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Iowa held off No. 12 Texas Tech 72-61 at the Las Vegas Invitational. Iowa will play in the championship game Friday night. PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — Tyrese Haliburton had 23 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists to help Iowa State post a record scoring output for the Battle 4 Atlantis by beating Alabama 104-89. Rasir Bolton added 22 points for the Cyclones, who shook free of their outside shooting struggles in this one. John Petty Jr. finished with 34 points for Alabama to finish with the tournament’s No. 2 scoring total. National Headlines ATLANTA (AP) — The New Orleans Saints are NFC South champions for the third consecutive year following a 26-18 victory over the Falcons in Atlanta. Taysom Hill blocked a punt to set up his 3-yard touchdown catch, and he later scored on a 30-yard run to put New Orleans ahead, 17-6 late in the first half. Cameron Jordan recorded four of the Saints’ nine sacks of Matt Ryan, the last coming on fourth down in New Orleans territory with 38 seconds to play. ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Josh Allen threw for a touchdown and ran for another as the Buffalo Bills knocked off the Dallas Cowboys, 26-15. Allen also turned a fourth-down fumble into a first down before John Brown became the first Buffalo receiver to throw a touchdown pass. Cole Beasley had 110 yards receiving and a touchdown in his first game against his former team, helping the Bills improve to 9-3. DETROIT (AP) — Mitchell Trubisky tossed a three-yard scoring pass to David Montgomery with 2:17 remaining to send the Bears to their third win in four games, 24-20 over the Lions. The nine-play, 90-yard drive left the Bears 6-6 and allowed Trubisky to finish with 338 yards and three touchdowns. The Lions got to the Chicago 26 on their final drive before Eddie Jackson intercepted a pass on fourth down in the closing seconds. PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — Eli Brooks matched his career high with 24 points and Michigan advanced to the Battle 4 Atlantis championship game by surprising sixth-ranked North Carolina, 73-64. Isaiah Livers added 12 points for the 6-0 Wolverines, who led by five in the second half before a 19-0 run gave them a 60-36 lead with 11:18 remaining. Freshman Cole Anthony had 22 points and seven rebounds to lead the 6-1 Tar Heels. PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — Drew Timme hit a free throw with 20.6 seconds left in overtime to send eighth-ranked Gonzaga to a 73-72 win over No. 11 Oregon and a spot in the Battle 4 Atlantis championship game. Filip Petrusev had 22 points and 15 rebounds for the 8-0 Bulldogs, who blew a 17-point first-half lead. Payton Pritchard finished with 17 points but missed a potential game-winning basket.

CANCUN, Mexico (AP) — Oscar Tshiebwe scored 19 points and grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds to lead West Virginia to a 75-63 win over Wichita State on Wednesday night in the championship game of the Cancun Classic. Emmitt Matthews Jr. added 13 points for the Mountaineers (6-0), who pulled away in the second half. Erik Stevenson led the Shockers (6-1) with 22 points. Tyson Etienne added 12 points and Jaime Echenique had 11 points and 11 rebounds. The Shockers missed five shots and had two turnovers in a 3-minute, 14-second span that West Virginia turned into a 10-1 run early in the second half. When Miles McBride had back-to-back baskets, the Mountaineers led 48-36 with 13:13 to play. The West Virginia defense wouldn’t let Wichita State string anything together to challenge. Wichita State shot 45% in the second half and limited the Shockers to 2-of-12 shooting behind the arc and 33% overall. Tshiebwe scored 10 points and the Mountaineers took a 31-28 lead at halftime despite going 4 of 11 from the foul line and committing eight turnovers. They limited the Shockers to 28% shooting and had a 27-15 rebounding advantage, 10-4 on the offensive end. Wichita State shot 31% and was outrebound 48-31. West Virginia finished 18 of 30 from the foul line. BIG PICTURE Wichita State: A big win over South Carolina in the first game and a tough battle with hard-nosed West Virginia in the championship game showed the Shockers are capable of playing with Power 5 teams. The 2013 team won the Cancun Challenge on its way to the Final Four. West Virginia: The Mountaineers claimed the title by beating solid mid-major opponents, Northern Iowa and Wichita State. It’s not exactly the most powerful gauntlet but the Panthers and Shockers are traditionally tough and were undefeated at the time. And West Virginia gets a title and remains undefeated. Up Next Wichita State is off until Dec. 5 when Central Arkansas visits. West Virginia goes home to meet Rhode Island on Sunday.

West Virginia tops Shockers for title

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Devon Dotson seemed to be running on fumes as the game wore on, but he still made big shots and continually found ways to get to the rim. Big man Udoka Azubuike bulled his way through Dayton’s defense all day, particularly in overtime, and even hit his free throws. The duo is one of the best Bill Self has had in 16 seasons at Kansas. They’re certainly a big reason the Jayhawks won their third Maui Invitational title and will be among the favorites to cut down the nets in April. Dotson scored 31 points, Azubuike had seven of his 29 in overtime and No. 4 Kansas outlasted Dayton 90-84 in the Maui Invitational championship game on Wednesday. “When he has it going and the attention is on him, that opens up for other players,” Dotson said. “So it's just kind of a 1-2 punch. We read the defense, take what's given to us.” The Flyers and Jayhawks spent much of the afternoon trading leads and highlight-reel plays in a bleacher-shaking atmosphere inside the bandbox Lahaina Civic Center. Kansas (6-1) looked as if it would run away with a late 11-0 run in regulation. The Flyers refused to back down, tying it when Jalen Crutcher buried a 3-pointer from about 5 feet behind the new, deeper arc with 2.1 seconds left. “When he had the ball in his hands I went straight to the rim and I told him, ‘Just let it go,’” said Ryan Mikesell, who led Dayton with 19 points. “He's a competent shooter and fortunate enough it went in.” The Jayhawks absorbed the blow and delivered a few in overtime with their 7-foot, 270-pound center. Kansas went to Azubuike early in the overtime and the big man delivered, scoring three baskets at the rim. A 32% free throw shooter entering the game, he also hit three from the line in overtime. Marcus Garrett made three free throws in the final 18 seconds to seal Kansas’ second Maui title in four years. “I do think we got some competitive pieces that, if we improve a little bit, this could be a pretty dangerous team down the stretch,” Self said. Dayton made a name for itself by winning the first two Maui games, then went toe-to-toe with a blue-blood in the final. The Flyers (5-1) came up short against Azubuike and the Jayhawks, but they figure to be a popular pick when the brackets come out in March. Obi Toppin had 18 points and Dayton finished 16 for 33 from 3-point range to keep Kansas within reach. “Obviously, it's a tough loss, but like I told them in the locker room, whatever it was, five, six days ago when we came here we wanted to find out what we needed to do as a team to continue to move forward, I think these guys did a great job of answering that,” Dayton coach Anthony Grant said. “They fought obviously to the very end.” Toppin dominated the first two games, scoring 49 combined points while hitting 19 of 25 shots. The Flyers took down Georgia of the SEC and Virginia Tech of the ACC in Maui. The Jayhawks imposed their massive will on two undersized opponents to open the tournament, taking down Division II Chaminade and BYU. As expected, Dayton and Kansas played a fast-paced, high-level game with the championship on the line, trading dunks, 3-pointers and buckets in transition. With Kansas doubling Toppin in the post on every touch, the Flyers worked their kickout game, hitting their first five 3-pointers and eight in the first half to lead 37-36. The Jayhawks had success getting the ball down low early for dunks and that opened things up for Dotson, who had 17 points by halftime. The shots kept falling, the crowd kept roaring and the lead stayed tight to start the second half. “That was a great basketball game,” Self said. “Two good teams competing against each other and in a terrific atmosphere.” BIG PICTURE Dayton burst into the national consciousness with its run in Maui, beating two larger-conference schools and taking Kansas to the wire. Kansas survived a tying shot at the end of regulation and wore the Flyers down with its size in the overtime. With top-ranked Duke and No. 3 Michigan State both losing, the Jayhawks should move up in Monday’s AP Top 25. UP NEXT Dayton hosts Houston Baptist on Tuesday. Kansas hosts Colorado on Dec. 7.

No. 4 Kansas beats Dayton 90-84 in overtime for Maui title

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Nate Kennell scored 22 points and Bradley beat Kansas State 73-60 as the 2019 NCAA Tournament teams met in the third-place game of the second annual Fort Myers Tip-Off on Wednesday night. Kennell made 6 of 8 3-pointers for the Braves (5-2) and Darrell Brown, who made 4 of 8 behind the arc, added 15 points. Kansas State didn’t score for the first 6:09 of the second half to fall behind 44-37. The Wildcats never could catch up. Xavier Sneed led the Wildcats (4-2) with 15 points and Cartier Diarra and Shaun Williams both added 10 points. After strongly criticizing his team’s play in a 78-51 loss to Northwestern on Monday, Brian Wardle saw his Braves get off to a great start by going up 14-6 early. “That was out of character,” forward Elijah Childs said. “We didn’t go out and do what we were told in the game plan. Tonight, we listened to each other instead of bickering.” When Kansas State made a 19-9 run to go up 25-23, Bradley didn’t back down and led 38-37 at halftime. Wardle liked his team’s competitive spirit. “We competed and defended and that’s how the program has grown every year,” he said. “It wasn’t there Monday, I don’t know why. It’s November. I challenged them and there are high-character kids in the locker room.” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said his team has to go back to the drawing board. “We all tried to make plays but we gotta play for each other,” Weber said. “We gotta admit we got our butts kicked, that we’ll get better and that we have to practice better. It starts with us as a staff but they gotta want to get better.” BIG PICTURE Bradley: The Braves, who added nine players to a team that gave Michigan State all it could handle in the NCAAs, had the kind of bounce-back effort that will make it a factor in the Missouri Valley Conference. Kansas State: The Wildcats, who didn’t have Montavious Murphy (knee) for the tournament, struggled inside and went into scoring lulls. Those are areas they’ll have to improve on if they want to avoid a ninth-place predicted finish in the Big 12. KEY STATS Bradley made 13 of 23 3-pointers and 24-of-48 overall. It helped overcome 23 turnovers. “I loved our pace,” Wardle said. “I didn’t like the defense. We were running and shooting quickly and I wanted us to continue. I think both teams ran out of gas in the second half and that’s when it came down to execution.” MVC LESSON Weber, who coached at Southern Illinois, said he warned his team Bradley would play with a lot of pride. “I coached in the Valley and I know how important it is to them,” Weber said. “They pushed it up on us. Our defense has been good but they had a lot of guys making 3-pointers.” NEXT YEAR Wisconsin, Butler, Colorado and South Florida will play in the 2020 Fort Myers Tip-Off. Wisconsin made Final Four trips in 2014 and 2015 and Butler went in 2010 and 2011. Next season will be third Fort Myers Tip-Off. Boston College won the inaugural event. UP NEXT Kansas State will return home on Monday to play Florida A&amp;M. Bradley will travel to No. 16 Memphis on Tuesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Isaac Likekele scored a career-high 26 points to lead Oklahoma State to an 86-72 win over Syracuse in the second game of the NIT Season Tip-Off at Barclays Center. The Cowboys will meet Mississippi in the championship game, which will follow Syracuse’s date with Penn State in the consolation. UNDATED (AP) — The Big 12 is closing out the regular season with the Bedlam and `Farmageddon’ rivalry games. No. 7 Oklahoma and No. 21 Oklahoma State are playing their annual Bedlam game. Kansas State and Iowa State are on the final weekend for the third year in a row. The Red River rivalry game between Oklahoma and Texas at the State Fair of Texas in October is really the only Big 12 game that has a set spot on the schedule each season. AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Trying to avoid a losing season is not how Texas expected to spend its Thanksgiving weekend. Yet, that’s what faces the Longhorns on Friday as they host Texas Tech. Beat the Red Raiders and they guarantee coach Tom Herman’s third season will at least finish above .500. Lose and they head into a panicky bowl season. Texas Tech is looking for a boost to end coach Matt Well’s first season, which will end without a bowl game. FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU is in the same position it was at the end of the regular season last year. The 5-6 Horned Frogs have to win their last game to get bowl eligible. They are home Friday to play 4-7 West Virginia. The TCU seniors made it to the Big 12 championship game in 2017. But this could be the third time in four years the Frogs finish with six wins in the regular season. If they lose, the will miss a bowl for only the third time in coach Gary Patterson’s 19 seasons. National Headlines UNDATED (AP) — The NCAA has denied an appeal by Memphis to have the suspension of center James Wiseman reduced from 12 games. The heralded freshman won’t be able to play again for the 16th-ranked Tigers until Jan. 12 at South Florida. The penalty surrounds the $11,500 that Memphis coach Penny Hardaway gave Wiseman’s family for moving expenses from Nashville to Memphis in the summer of 2017. ENGLEWOOD, Col. (AP) — The Denver Broncos are upping quarterback Drew Lock's snaps at practice in preparation for his possible debut Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that the second-round pick from Missouri who has been on IR all season will take 75% of the snaps with Brandon Allen taking the rest. The Broncos turned to Allen when Joe Flacco went on IR at midseason. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have placed three-time Pro Bowl tight end Delanie Walker on injured reserve for a second straight season. Walker had missed the past four games and played only five snaps Oct. 20 in a win over the Chargers after aggravating the right ankle he broke in the 2018 season opener. He had 21 catches for 215 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. UNDATED (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates have confirmed the hiring of Derek Shelton as their new manager.

CANCUN, Mexico (AP) — Erik Stevenson had 19 points, eight rebounds, four assists and three steals and Wichita State led wire-to-wire in a 70-47 victory over South Carolina on Tuesday night to advance to the title game of the Cancun Challenge. Wichita State is hoping to win the tournament like it did in 2012 on its way to the Final Four. The Shockers are 6-0 for the first time since its historic 35-0 start to the 2013-14 season. Trey Wade added 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals for Wichita State. Jamarius Burton scored 10 points with five assists. Coach Gregg Marshall, a South Carolina native, got his first win in three tries against his favorite childhood team — with the two previous meetings coming during his time with Winthrop. Stevenson scored 12 quick points as Wichita State jumped out to a 27-9 lead after 11-plus minutes by making 10 of 17 shots, including three 3-pointers. South Carolina was 4 of 16 during the stretch with eight turnovers. The Gamecocks trailed 41-22 at halftime. Wichita State held South Carolina to 32.7% shooting for its sixth straight game holding an opponent under 40% to rank 10th nationally in field-goal percentage defense. The Shockers have not allowed more than 63 points in a game this year. Senior Maik Kotsar was the only player for South Carolina (4-2) in double figures with 12 points. The Gamecocks were coming off a seven-turnover win against Gardner-Webb for the fifth-fewest under coach Frank Martin, but gave it away 19 times against Wichita State. It was the Gamecocks’ first game away from home this season. UP NEXT Wichita State plays the winner of Northern Iowa-West Virginia on Wednesday. South Carolina faces the loser for third place on Wednesday.

Wichita State leads wire-to-wire against South Carolina

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Kansas had a hard time keeping up with Brigham Young’s motion offense early in the Maui Invitational semifinals. The Cougars move fast, cut hard and shoot well, so it was no surprise. Once the Jayhawks were able to measure what BYU was doing, they clamped down and earned a shot at another tournament title. David McCormack scored 16 points, Ochai Agbaji added 14 and No. 4 Kansas turned a huge second half into a trip to the Maui championship game with a 71-56 victory Tuesday night. “I told our guys, after about the 10-minute mark, I don’t know if I can remember us locking in and being any better defensively until about the eight-minute mark of the second half,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “From a coaching standpoint, that was fun for me to watch from a defensive standpoint.” The Jayhawks (5-1) dominated inside against the smaller Cougars and did a good job of rotating out to their shooters to earn a shot at their third Maui Invitational crown.Kansas opened the second half with a big run to build a double-digit lead and outscored BYU 42-18 in the paint. The Jayhawks will face Dayton in Wednesday’s title game. “We were just using our size to our advantage, playing to our height,” McCormack said. “That’s what we do.” BYU (4-3) was bothered by Kansas’ length on defense, finishing 9 for 33 from behind the 3-point line and turning it over 20 times. TJ Haws had 16 points and Kolby Lee 13, but Cougars leading scorer Jake Toolson was held to seven on 3-of-9 shooting. “They do a really good job of keeping you on one side of the floor, and they have a lot of length,” BYU coach Mark Pope said. “We had a really tough time passing it against their length. The frustration mounted in the second half and we didn’t handle that.”Kansas overwhelmed Division II Chaminade 93-63 in its Maui opener by utilizing its massive size advantage. The also-undersized Cougars used ball movement and perimeter shooting to blow past UCLA 78-63 in their opener. Neither team was particularly efficient offensively early in the semifinals, trading turnovers and clanks on the soft Lahaina Civic Center rims. The Jayhawks found a small semblance of rhythm late in the first half and locked on the Cougars defensively, holding them scoreless for 7½ minutes. BYU finally hit a few shots late and was within 29-27 at halftime. Kansas got on a roll to start the second period by getting the ball inside, opening with a 13-2 run to go up 42-31. The Jayhawks piled on after that with a 19-4 spurt and hit 17 of 32 shots in the second half. “I thought we did a good job of trying to work it, get our players in position to make plays, and unfortunately there were some times we got good looks and didn’t make shots, shots you need to make to beat a top-5 team,” BYU’s Dalton Nixon said. BIG PICTUREBYU pulled off one upset by knocking off UCLA in its opener, but had a hard time matching Kansas’ size in the semifinals.The Jayhawks shook off some early ugliness on offense with a dominant second half to earn a shot at adding to the 1996 and 2015 Maui titles in their trophy case.

The Mountaineers (5-0) trailed 42-27 after Northern Iowa’s Isaiah Brown buried a 3-pointer with 10:31 remaining in the second half. KANSAS CITY, Mo.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Desmond Bane had 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead TCU to a 64-47 victory over Wyoming in the consolation game of the MGM Resorts Main Event night. It was Bane's second double-double of the season, both in Main Event, and third of his career. The preseason all-Big 12 selection shot 8 of 14 from the field, including four made from 3-point range. AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State can achieve another milestone in the Matt Campbell era on Saturday. The Cyclones visit longtime nemesis Kansas State with a chance to win eight regular-season games for the second straight year. That is something that has been done only once in school history and that was more than 40 years ago. It won’t be easy. Over the last 12 years, Iowa State has only one victory over Kansas State. UNDATED (AP) — No. 7 Oklahoma is already locked into a chance to win its fifth consecutive Big 12 title. The Sooners need to finish the regular season with a win in their Bedlam rivalry game at No. 21 Oklahoma State if they are going to have any chance to get back in the College Football Playoff. Iowa State and Kansas State both carry seven wins into their “Farmageddon” rivalry game. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The NCAA has rejected an appeal by the University of Missouri to limit or overturn sanctions for infractions tied to the case of a former tutor. That means postseason bans along with recruiting and scholarship reductions will remain in place for football, baseball and softball. The Tigers’ basketball programs were not involved in the case. The school says it is appalled by the decision. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have changed hands from David Glass to an ownership group led by John Sherman and that includes actor Eric Stonestreet and a several local businessmen. The purchase of the Royals for approximately $1 billion was approved unanimously by the owners of the other big league clubs at their meeting last Thursday. National Headlines UNDATED (AP) — Ohio State jumped LSU to No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings with two weeks to go before selection Sunday. LSU slipped to two and Clemson remained No. 3 while Georgia held on at four. If playoff history holds form, three of those top four teams will reach the semifinals. Alabama remained No. 5 with Utah moving up a spot to No. 6. The Utes are the only Pac-12 team in the top 10 after Oregon dropped eight spots to 14th. Oklahoma is seventh followed by Minnesota, Baylor and Penn State. DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Nathan Bain stole the ball and hit a layup at the overtime buzzer and Stephen F. Austin knocked off No. 1 Duke 85-83 Tuesday night. Kevon Harris scored 26 points and Gavin Kensmil added 15 for the Lumberjacks (5-1). They became the first non-Atlantic Coast Conference team to beat Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in nearly 20 years and the second unranked team to upset a No. 1-ranked team on its home floor in two weeks after Evansville went into Rupp Arena and stunned Kentucky 67-64. DALLAS (AP) — Paul George scored 17 of his 26 points in the first quarter, Kawhi Leonard finished with 28 and the Los Angeles Clippers took control early in a meeting of teams with matching five-game winning streaks, beating the Dallas Mavericks 114-99. The Clippers used several defenders to end Luka Doncic’s franchise-record streak of four games with at least 30 points and 10 assists while holding the Mavericks under 100 points for the first time this season. MONTREAL (AP) — David Pastrnak recorded his second hat trick of the season and the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Bruins routed the Montreal Canadiens 8-1. Jake Debrusk, Brad Marchand, Anders Bjork, Charlie Coyle and Danon Heinen also scored for the Bruins, who have won four straight. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl right guard Brandon Brooks said pressure of trying to live up to a new contract led to an anxiety attack that forced him out of the Philadelphia Eagles’ game last Sunday. Brooks has dealt with anxiety for several years but has started 50 straight games, including the playoffs. But he recently signed a four-year, $54.2 million contract and it weighed on his mind.

November 26, 2019I want to thank you for your support and passion for the Kansas City Royals. Since the franchise began play in 1969, our fans have supported their team and embraced our players. The Royals, like other MajorLeague Baseball franchises, give fans in Kansas City and across our region a sense of belonging and pride. We will strive to be competitive on the field and deeply involved in the community. Our goal is to grow the great game of baseball while providing our fans with a great game experience at beautiful Kauffman Stadium. Two very important men preceded me. Royals founder Ewing Kauffman gave Kansas City a chance to shine as a Major League city and champion and, in doing so, helped turn the area into a spotlight for excellence and community spirit. My friend, David Glass, carried on that legacy and brought back to Kansas City playoff baseball, another world championship and an unforgettable celebration that Royals fans will forever remember. As we embark upon this new chapter of Royals baseball, my partners and my family pledge to continue to provide Royals fans with an organization that they will be proud of. Our entire organization is working to compete at the highest level on the field. Through the draft and development process, we’re encouraged about another core group of pitchers and position players heading to the Major League level. I am confident that the Royals have a bright future. We will also endeavor to be outstanding community partners. I believe to my core that education is the key, from the inner city to our suburbs and every big and small town in the Midwest. Through Royals Charities and other initiatives, we will harness the excitement of a Major League franchise to make the lives of our fans and our communities better. As we start this journey together, we look to continue to build on our great history. We are proud of our fans and our hometown. We look forward to being the stewards of this great franchise. It’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly. As Royals fans, we’re looking forward to the seasons ahead! On behalf of the entire organization, we thank you. Sincerely,John ShermanChairman and CEO

Open letter to Royals fans from new owner

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Xavier Johnson made a short jumper with 10.1 seconds left to give his team the lead, then made two free throws with 4.6 seconds to help Pittsburgh top Kansas State 63-59 in the Fort Myers TipOff on Monday night. “Coach drew up a play and I’m pretty good at driving to the basket,” Johnson said. “It’s a great win.” After seeing a 57-51 lead disappear as they couldn’t score for 3:56, the Panthers (5-2) scored six points in the last 10.1 seconds. Two more free throws by Justin Champagnie clinched it with 0.1 seconds left. Ryan Murphy and Eric Hamilton both scored 13 points for Pitt while Johnson and Champagnie added 12 each. The Panthers won despite making just 1 of 16 3-pointers and committing 21 turnovers. They did hit 47% of their shots, went 18 of 21 on free throws and had a 40-30 rebounding advantage. “When you have 21 turnovers and two assists, how do you win a game like that?” Pitt coach Jeff Capel said. “You go out and rebound like we did. Show toughness. We’re not going to out-talent most teams and they have players and a program that has a culture.” Cartier Diarra scored 13 and DaJuan Gordon added 12, 10 straight in the first half, for Kansas State (4-1), which made just 3 of 13 free throws. “That’s not gonna happen again,” Diarra said. Xavier Sneed, who came in leading K-State with 16 points per game, didn’t score until 15:40 remained in the second half. He finished with eight points. For the first time this season, Kansas State had a first-half lead, going up 30-28. The Wildcats took a 9-0 lead. They also led 27-17 before Pitt rallied. “We didn’t finish off that first half,” Diarra said. “If we keep that 10-point lead, it’s a different story.”

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Kansas was good, not great, and had to play most of the first half without big man Udoka Azubuike. The fourth-ranked Jayhawks were certainly better than Division II Chaminade, earning them a spot in the Maui Invitational semifinals. That’s enough — for now. Devin Dotson scored 19 points, Azubuike added 15 despite early foul trouble and Kansas cruised to a 93-63 victory over the Silverswords on Monday. “I don’t think we played great, but I don’t think we played poorly either,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “t certainly happy to advance and what an atmosphere for an opening round game like this.” The Jayhawks (4-1) jumped on the Silverswords (2-1) with a huge early run and never let up, shooting 55% while making 12 of 29 from 3-point range. Kansas scored 36 points off Chaminade’s 27 turnovers and had a 50-22 advantage in the paint. Isaiah Moss had 13 points for the two-time Maui champion Jayhawks, who move on to face UCLA or BYU in Tuesday’s semifinals. “We just needed to lock in and do what we needed to do in order to be successful,” said Kansas big man David McCormick, who had 10 points. “Emphasizing defense and just making them turn over the ball is what we did.” Andre Arissol had 18 points and Tyler Cartaino 17 to lead Chaminade. The Silverswords led early, but, as is often the case against Power Five schools, had a huge size disadvantage against the Jayhawks. “Unfortunately, we have had two weeks to sit and prepare for them and watch them way, way too much and we knew how good they were,” Chaminade coach Eric Bovaird said. “I thought through stretches, we executed our game plan really well and then we weren’t locked into what we were supposed to be doing offensively and defensively and that’s the moment it kind of got away.” Kansas opened the season with a two-point loss to Duke after turning it over a whopping 28 times. The Jayhawks have gotten a better grip since then, heading into Maui with three straight double-digit wins. Chaminade returned to the championship round this year after playing in the opening rounds last season. The tournament hosts have had a knack for pulling off upsets against bigger opponents, most recently against California in 2017. The Silverswords opened by making three of their first four shots to take a brief lead. Very brief. Once the Jayhawks got acclimated to shooting in the tiny confines of Lahaina Civic Center, they flew away. Kansas used a 20-2 run to go up 20-7 and made 18 of 32 shots to lead 47-27 at halftime with Azubuike limited to 7 minutes with foul trouble. Another short run to start the second half put the Jayhawks up 61-33 and the game out of reach. “We tried to double them a lot and we knew even with doubles it would be hard to do, so we kind of went to make plays and get strips,” Cartaino said. “That didn’t happen a lot and we paid for it.”

Kolby Droegemeier&nbsp;led the Cougars as the lone placer as the nation's 4th ranked 149 wrestler had his day cut short via injury in forfeiting his final two matches in placing 6th. Droegemeier reached the semifinals behind an opening 52 second pin followed by a pair of decisions but would come out short in the final four to the event champion of unattached wrestler Jake Beeson by a 4-0 score. Gable Howerton&nbsp;went 5-1 during the afternoon, bouncing back from a second round defeat to the eventual 3rd place finisher Hunter Shelton of Baker University. Ranked 7th in the 157 division, Howerton began his day with a major decision then chaled up a pair of pins and decisions before having his day end on the six match rule one round shy of qualifying for a placer position. A pair of Cougars went 2-2 in having their consecutive week placing streak snapped. 5th ranked&nbsp;Andrew DeArmond&nbsp;lost his 165 division opening round match to the eventual 6th placer while 184 division 4th ranked&nbsp;Joey Ewalt's pair of losses were to the eventual 5th and 6th placers. In the 133 division&nbsp;Drew Burgoon&nbsp;completed the afternoon 3-2, rattling off three victories of decisions on either side of tech fall before bounced from the quarterfinals by the eventual third place finisher. A pair of Cougars picked up victories in the 125 division as&nbsp;Javier Duchene&nbsp;picked up his win on the consolation side of the bracket after a second round loss to the eventual 3rd placer while&nbsp;Zack Gomez&nbsp;second round loss proved more costly in having to forfeit his consolation bracket run due to injury. Johnney Perez&nbsp;was derailed on the championship side by the eventual 4th placer with a late takedown spoiling a 2-1 lead to end the day at 0-2. The non-team scoring amateur section of the meet featured nearly 350 wrestlers with another 200 in the Elite division spanned across sixteen mats featuring eight hours of wrestling from NCAA Division I to junior college competitors. Barton's next action will be in two weeks as the Cougars head south to Plainview, Texas, for the Wayland Baptist Invitational.

<img src="https://media.eaglewebservices.com/public/2019/5/1559312637319.jpeg">ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Brittany Bowlen is rejoining the Denver Broncos next month as vice president of strategic initiatives as she continues her quest to succeed her late father as controlling owner of the franchise valued at close to $3 billion. Bowlen, 29, will report to chief commercial officer Mac Freeman and chief financial officer Justin Webster starting Dec. 2. She will oversee aspects of the team’s development project at Empower Field at Mile High, collaborate between departments on business analytics, and monitor industry trends, among other duties. Team president and CEO Joe Ellis said in a statement, “Brittany is working toward earning the right to succeed her father, and this is the next step in that process. Given her work experience and depth of knowledge, we’re looking forward to Brittany returning to work for the Broncos and adding value across our organization.” After earning degrees from the University of Notre Dame and Duke University, she worked at NFL headquarters in New York from 2013-14 and as a business analyst for the Broncos in 2015. She has spent the last year working for McKinsey &amp; Company, a global business consulting firm. Pat Bowlen died in June at age 75 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s, two months before his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and five years after stepping away from his daily duties running the team. The team since 2014 has been run by a trio of trustees — Ellis, team counsel Rich Slivka and local lawyer Mary Kelly — who are responsible for determining if one of Pat Bowlen’s children will succeed him in running the team. Pat Bowlen’s two children from his first marriage are challenging the validity of the trust in district court in Colorado.

Coach Chris Brown announced Tuesday during his&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hayspost.com/2019/11/12/%f0%9f%8e%a5-fhsu-football-holds-weekly-football-press-conference-21/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(39, 163, 209);">weekly press conference</a>&nbsp;that his team will not be going to any bowl game even if the Tigers are invited. “Our goal this year and our expectations this year was to win the conference and get to the playoffs and win in the playoffs. A bowl was not going to be an option for us,” Brown said. “That we would not take a bowl game or play in a bowl game because that’s not who we are not right now.” “Our expectations are playoffs and winning conference championships and we said that from the get-go that we would not play in a bowl game.” Brown said. “I told our team yesterday (Monday) that this is going to be our last game.” FHSU fell out of the NCAA II Super Region Three rankings after their double-overtime loss to Northwest Missouri State Saturday, ending their hopes of a third straight playoff appearance. Brown has guided to the Tigers to the postseason each of the last four seasons. In 2015 the Tigers lost to Minnesota Duluth in the Mineral Water Bowl, their first postseason appearance since 1995. The following season they beat Eastern New Mexico in the C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl. The last two seasons the Tigers have advanced to the NCAA II Playoffs, losing at home to Ferris State in the second round in 2017 and falling in the first round at Indianapolis last season. Fort Hays State closes out their season Saturday at winless Northestern State. Kickoff is at 2 p.m.

FHSU proved victorious at the conclusion of 90 minutes plus an additional one minute and 20 seconds of play, defeating the Bison 3-2. The Black and Gold, entered the contest 11-5-1, and now improve to 12 wins to round out the regular season.

Chamorro, along with Agudelo began the fast break for the Tigers. With Agudelo running strong, he played an early cross to Chamorro who finished his shot at the far post. Just three minutes later, Agudelo was in action again. Having already created one assist in the match, the senior forward turned his defender, took a big touch into the box, and finished at the far post for his 13th goal of the season. Out of the half, Oklahoma Baptist began finding control within their play. In the 51st minute, Nalan Kentner was the receipient from a grounded cross by Dominic Gibson. Gibson played the ball across the six-yard box and Kentner tapped the ball into the back of the net. Not even two minutes later, the Bison struck again and tied up the contest when Bruno Feirrera’s touch deflected off of a Tiger defender. Feirrera continued to collect the ball off of the defender and finished past the outstretched arms of&nbsp;<a href="http://fhsuathletics.com/services/go.ashx/92ea61cb-bb86-4a22-8182-592ce67e234d?elinkdata=139547" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(39, 163, 209);">Cullen Fisch</a>.
