NJCAA DI Women's Basketball Rankings

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers gave Patrick Mahomes two opportunities to drive for the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl.

They should have known — who doesn't at this point? — that it was one too many.

After leading the Chiefs downfield late in regulation, only to settle for a tying field goal with 3 seconds left to force overtime, Mahomes capitalized on his second chance. The Chiefs' sturdy defense held the 49ers to a field goal of their own, and with the ball back in his hands, Mahomes marched the defending champions right downfield on a touchdown drive to remember.

He scrambled for a pair of first downs, including one on fourth-and-1 with the game on the line, and was 8 for 8 passing on the drive. The last of the throws may have been the easiest, a 3-yard toss to Mecole Hardman to finish off the heart-stopping 25-22 victory, and give one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history his third Super Bowl ring.

“This is awesome,” Mahomes said simply. “Legendary.”

Fitting way to put it for a 28-year-old quarterback quickly reaching legendary status.

Mahomes is only the sixth quarterback to win three Super Bowls — and was selected MVP for all three — and the youngest to do it. Hall of Famers Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw are within reach with four apiece. And given how quickly Mahomes has been stacking up those shiny Lombardi Trophies in Kansas City, it's hard to believe Brady’s record of seven is untouchable.

Mahomes is also closing on Brady's record of five Super Bowl MVPs; Montana is the only other player with three.

“I think Tom said it best: Once you win that championship, you have those parades and you get those dreams, you’re not the champion anymore. You have to come back to that with the same mentality,” Mahomes said. "And I learned from guys like that that have been the greatest of all time.”

The Chiefs are the first repeat Super Bowl champions since Brady and the Patriots in 2003 and ’04, and their third title in four trips over the past five years puts them in rarified air. Only four teams have won three championships in a five-year span.

Asked whether the Chiefs have achieved dynasty status, Mahomes replied: “It’s the start of one.”

“He comes to work every day humble. He comes to work every day wanting to be great," said the Chiefs' Andy Reid, who became the fifth coach with at least three Super Bowl wins. “An absolute pleasure to coach.”

In truth, Mahomes struggled for much of the game Sunday, especially because the 49ers refused to bring the blitz, which the two-time league MVP tears apart with ease. But he started to heat up in the fourth quarter, when he drove Kansas City for a field goal to tie it at 16 with 5:46 left, then when he drove for another field goal that sent the game to overtime.

Impressive stuff from a quarterback who had surprisingly struggled in the clutch this season. Mahomes was just 18 of 47 for 167 yards with no touchdowns and an interception with a chance to tie or take the lead in the fourth quarter or overtime.

“I don’t think Pat knows how to lose,” Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice said.

Mahomes celebrated winning by sprinting like mad into the end zone. He wheeled around, his helmet held aloft, and headed all the way back to Kansas City's sideline, where he fell onto the yellow-painted turf. With nobody around Mahomes for the briefest of moments, he stared into the sky in what seemed to be an exhausting mixture of elation and disbelief.

As if anyone should have any reason not to believe in Mahomes by now.

“We've got the best quarterback in the league,” Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said.

Mahomes finished the Super Bowl with 333 yards passing and two TDs, and he extended his franchise record for yards rushing in the playoffs with 66 more. The head-scratching interception he threw into heavy coverage early in the game was forgotten by the time he hit Hardman in the end zone, sending red and yellow confetti raining down inside Allegiant Stadium.

Also forgotten were all the losses and lousy games Kansas City had this season.

The Chiefs were largely juggernauts during their previous Super Bowl runs, romping through the playoffs with ease — even if they had to come from behind in the finale to beat the 49ers in 2000 and the Eagles last year. But they struggled mightily this season, losing five of eight games during one stretch, and dropped all the way to the No. 3 seed in the playoffs.

They had to beat Miami in the fourth-coldest game in NFL history in the wild-card round. Then they hit the road to beat second-seeded Buffalo and No. 1 seed Baltimore, before knocking off another No. 1 seed in the 49ers on Sunday.

“I hope people remember not only the greatness we have on the field, but the way we've done it,” Mahomes said. "I feel like we enjoy it every single day. We have fun. We play hard. It's not always pretty, but we fight to the very end.

Monday on Sports Day (Watch)

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime in a Super Bowl unlike any other. Here's a look at a few topics that will linger in the aftermath:

This Super Bowl will likely go down as one of the most memorable, given Taylor Swift's involvement and the fact that it was in Las Vegas for the first time. Throw in Kansas City winning back-to-back titles — a rare accomplishment — and Patrick Mahomes' late brilliance, and it was a classic.

But it wasn't the most well-played game, with both teams losing big turnovers and neither offense really doing much until the end, when fatigue might have been a factor.

It's in play now for the Chiefs, who have reached four Super Bowls in five years and won three of them. Now they'll go for something nobody — not Joe Montana's 49ers or Tom Brady's Patriots — has done. Kansas City can win a third consecutive Super Bowl.

That might seem unlikely, but so did this championship for most of the season. The Chiefs went the whole second half of the AFC championship game and the whole first half of the Super Bowl without a touchdown. If they could manage to win it all anyway, what does it take to beat them?

“Battling through the adversity that we went through this year, and the guys staying with the process, keeping believing," Mahomes said. "You never know how it’s going to happen, and to be able to go play three great teams to get to this game and play another great team, and win all those games, it was a true road in the playoffs, and we were able to come through and be Super Bowl champs.”

Mahomes has a while to go before he can match Tom Brady's longevity and career accomplishments, but he may have an even better resume than the New England quarterback did at the same age. Mahomes has three Super Bowl titles at age 28, and was the MVP in each of those wins. When he was 28, Brady had won three Super Bowls and been MVP for two.

But at that age, Brady hadn't won any regular-season MVPs, and Mahomes already has two.

Taylor Swift's fiercest loyalists might claim that she was the good luck charm that brought Kansas City another championship. Even if you're not buying that, there's no denying that her relationship with Travis Kelce added some buzz to what was a fairly drab regular season for the Chiefs.

Then they went on their postseason run, culminating in an almost perfect storm of sports and pop culture intersecting at the Super Bowl. Maybe Kelce and Swift will be back at the Super Bowl next year too, but the NFL and Chiefs fans shouldn't take for granted the sequence of events that unfolded over the past few months.

Now we're definitely in the realm of the subjective, but the first Super Bowl in Las Vegas was a hit among many fans — some of whom came to town even if they weren't sure they'd be able to get into the game.

The demand for tickets made it clear how popular a site this was. And as sports leagues embrace Las Vegas more and more, it's a question of when, not if, more events like this come to town.

The 49ers were about as close to a championship as you can be without winning it, and coach Kyle Shanahan is still chasing a title after losing another Super Bowl. He's been on the wrong end of the only two Super Bowls to go to overtime — this one and Super Bowl 51, which he lost as an offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons.

Shanahan is one of the game's most influential offensive minds, but this wasn't one of his masterpieces. The 49ers got 160 total yards from Christian McCaffrey, but two touchdowns and three field goals wasn't enough for San Francisco to win. And Shanahan's decision to take the ball first in overtime raised some eyebrows.

Meanwhile, Kansas City's Andy Reid won his third Super Bowl title.

What a career defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has put together. When he was with the 2007 New York Giants, he helped take down previously unbeaten New England in the Super Bowl. Now he's won three titles with the Chiefs.

With Mahomes and the offense no longer lighting up opposing secondaries like in the past, the pressure was on Spagnuolo's defense. It delivered, holding Lamar Jackson and Baltimore to 10 points in the AFC championship game and then keeping Kansas City in it against the 49ers until the offense got rolling late.

There was talk about whether Usher's halftime show might be overshadowed by Swift's presence in the crowd, but he delivered a set with several highlights, including appearances by Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon and Ludacris.

MVP Lamar Jackson may have taken home the biggest prize at NFL Honors this week, but the Houston Texans look like a team to watch going forward. They swept the Rookie of the Year awards for offense and defense with quarterback C.J. Stroud and defensive lineman Will Anderson Jr.

Mahomes, the Chiefs, and a thrilling game - it all came together at the Super Bowl

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Vladislav Goldin had 20 points and Brandon Weatherspoon scored 19 to lead No. 20 Florida Atlantic to a 95-82 overtime win against Wichita State on Sunday.

Florida Atlantic (19-5, 9-2 American Athletic Conference) dominated the overtime period, outscoring Wichita State 21-8. The Owls shot 47.2% for the game.

“We made two hustle plays to start and that set the tone in overtime,” Florida Atlantic coach Dusty May said. “Without a doubt the hustle plays helped give us the separation we needed.”

Xavier Bell finished with 25 points off the bench for Wichita State (10-14, 2-9). Colby Rogers had 21 for his fifth straight double-figure game. The Shockers shot 50.8% from the field.

“I thought early in the game we were thinking pass way too much. We have to think shot quality,” Wichita State coach Paul Mills said. “Just knowing the nature of the defense you have to get quality looks. I thought Rogers did that and obviously Bell did a great job of it.”

Bell hit a 3 with 42 seconds left in the second half to take a 73-72 lead. Late free throws for both teams sent the game to overtime tied at 74-74.

Florida Athletic went 0 for 6 from the floor to start the game, but managed to limit Wichita State to just nine points in that stretch. Weatherspoon was vital in getting the Owls some early momentum with eight points in the opening six minutes.

“I knew it was an early morning game and I am a big energy guy so I just tried to get the juices flowing,” Weatherspoon said. “We just needed to stay positive, just working on getting stops and everything will be alright.”

May said Weatherspoon “doesn’t get a lot of accolades,” but the team's success wouldn't be what it is without him.

“Obviously his stat line is easy to talk about today, but his impact goes so much beyond that,” May said.

Turnovers plagued Wichita State and Florida Atlantic capitalized on it with 16 points off 17 Shocker turnovers. It was the 11th time the Shockers have had 14 or more turnovers this season.

Florida Atlantic: The Owls had 44 points inside the paint and went just 7 for 23 from the 3-point line. Free throws were key — Florida Atlantic went 20 for 22 from the free-throw line.

Wichita State: The Shockers shot the ball extremely well, but turnovers were their downfall. Wichita State entered the game with just 13 turnovers in the last two games, but ranked 273rd in the country in assist to turnover ratio at 0.95.

Florida Atlantic: Hosts Temple on Thursday night.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Vladislav Goldin had 20 points and Brandon Weatherspoon scored 19 to lead No. 20 Florida Atlantic to a 95-82 overtime win against Wichita State on Sunday.Florida Atlantic (19-5, 9-2 American Athletic Conference) dominated the overtime period, outscoring Wichita State 21-8. The Owls shot 47.2% for the game.“We made two hustle plays to start and that set the tone in overtime,” Florida Atlantic coach Dusty May said. “Without a doubt the hustle plays helped give us the separation we needed.”Xavier Bell finished with 25 points off the bench for Wichita State (10-14, 2-9). Colby Rogers had 21 for his fifth straight double-figure game. The Shockers shot 50.8% from the field.“I thought early in the game we were thinking pass way too much. We have to think shot quality,” Wichita State coach Paul Mills said. “Just knowing the nature of the defense you have to get quality looks. I thought Rogers did that and obviously Bell did a great job of it.”Bell hit a 3 with 42 seconds left in the second half to take a 73-72 lead. Late free throws for both teams sent the game to overtime tied at 74-74.Florida Athletic went 0 for 6 from the floor to start the game, but managed to limit Wichita State to just nine points in that stretch. Weatherspoon was vital in getting the Owls some early momentum with eight points in the opening six minutes.“I knew it was an early morning game and I am a big energy guy so I just tried to get the juices flowing,” Weatherspoon said. “We just needed to stay positive, just working on getting stops and everything will be alright.”May said Weatherspoon “doesn’t get a lot of accolades,” but the team's success wouldn't be what it is without him.“Obviously his stat line is easy to talk about today, but his impact goes so much beyond that,” May said.Turnovers plagued Wichita State and Florida Atlantic capitalized on it with 16 points off 17 Shocker turnovers. It was the 11th time the Shockers have had 14 or more turnovers this season.BIG PICTUREFlorida Atlantic: The Owls had 44 points inside the paint and went just 7 for 23 from the 3-point line. Free throws were key — Florida Atlantic went 20 for 22 from the free-throw line.Wichita State: The Shockers shot the ball extremely well, but turnovers were their downfall. Wichita State entered the game with just 13 turnovers in the last two games, but ranked 273rd in the country in assist to turnover ratio at 0.95.UP NEXTFlorida Atlantic: Hosts Temple on Thursday night.Wichita State: Visits East Carolina on Thursday night.

LAS VEGAS (AP) —
Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Andy Reid have made the Kansas City
Chiefs a dynasty. They’re already thinking three-peat. First, they
had to become the NFL’s first back-to-back Super Bowl champions in
19 years. Mahomes made sure of it, leading another super comeback on
the NFL’s biggest stage in America’s showcase capital. Mahomes
threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman in overtime, and the
Chiefs rallied to beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 on Sunday,
becoming the NFL’s ninth repeat Super Bowl champs. With pop star
Taylor Swift watching boyfriend Kelce from a suite, the Chiefs
captured their third title in five years and joined some of the
league’s greatest franchises.

LAS VEGAS (AP) —
Patrick Mahomes put himself squarely in the conversation for the best
quarterbacks of all time with another Super Bowl victory in dramatic
fashion. The two-time league MVP led the Kansas City Chiefs for a
tying field goal with 3 seconds left in regulation Sunday and then
threw the touchdown pass that gave them a 25-22 victory over the San
Francisco 49ers in overtime. It was the second straight Super Bowl
title for Mahomes and the Chiefs and and his third ring overall. Tom
Brady has the record for a starting QB with seven rings, but that
hardly seems out of reach.

LAS VEGAS (AP) —
San Francisco's decision to take the ball first in overtime of the
Super Bowl will be debated for a while. The 49ers drove for a field
goal, then lost 25-22 when Patrick Mahomes guided Kansas City 75
yards the other way for the winning touchdown. San Francisco’s
drive ended when the 49ers kicked a field goal on fourth-and-4 from
the 9. If they’d known three points wouldn’t be good enough, they
could have gone for a touchdown in that spot. Instead it was the
Chiefs who knew exactly what they needed to do to win.

LAS VEGAS (AP) —
Taylor Swift keeps finding herself on the winning side. She kissed
boyfriend Travis Kelce on the field after his Kansas City Chiefs won
the Super Bowl over the San Francisco 49ers. And she celebrated with
his family and many of her famous friends including Blake Lively and
Ice Spice when the CHiefs scored the winning touchdown in overtime.
Swift had to fly halfway around the world to make it to the game in
Las Vegas after a series of concerts in Tokyo. Right before that, she
won album of the year for a record fourth time at the Grammys.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.
(AP) — Nick Taylor made an 11-foot birdie putt to beat Charley
Hoffman on the second hole of a playoff after birdieing three of the
last four in regulation Sunday, capping another wild week at the
Phoenix Open with his second memorable victory. Taylor closed with a
6-under 65 to reach 21-under 263, with the 35-year-old Canadian
forcing the playoff with a 9-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th. Both
players birdied the extra hole and hit the green on No. 18 a second
time, and Taylor birdied the hole for the third time in less than an
hour. He won his fourth PGA Tour title. Last year, he took the
Canadian Open with a 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth extra hole.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) —
Caitlin Clark’s pursuit of the NCAA women’s career scoring record
will continue for at least four more days after her 31-point
performance in No. 2 Iowa’s 82-79 loss to Nebraska. The
generational talent who has brought unprecedented attention to
women’s basketball came into the game 39 points from passing Kelsey
Plum’s total of 3,527 for Washington from 2013-17. Clark went
scoreless the last 12 1/2 minutes against Nebraska and now needs
eight points to break the record. She’ll likely will do it Thursday
night in Iowa City against Michigan.

Monday Sports Headlines and Scores presented by Barton Community College

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Andy Reid have made the Kansas City Chiefs a dynasty.

First, they had to become the first back-to-back Super Bowl champions in 19 years.

Mahomes made sure of it, leading another super comeback on the NFL’s biggest stage in America’s showcase capital.

Mahomes threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman in overtime, and the Chiefs rallied to beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 on Sunday, becoming the NFL's ninth repeat Super Bowl champs.

With pop star Taylor Swift watching boyfriend Kelce from a suite, the Chiefs captured their third title in five years, a run that puts them among the league's greatest franchises.

“Well, you know the goal has always been to get three,” Kelce screamed on stage after sharing a kiss with Swift. “But we couldn’t get here without getting that two, and having that target on our back all year. ... How about that. We get a chance to do it three times in a row.”

The NFL’s first Super Bowl in Las Vegas was a sloppy, mistake-filled affair that was mostly boring until the back-and-forth fourth quarter and OT. It was the second of 58 Super Bowls to be tied after regulation, and the first played under new overtime rules that ensured both teams got the ball.

The Chiefs (15-6) trailed 22-19 after Jake Moody kicked a 27-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime, but Mahomes rallied the Chiefs, completing another impressive comeback in a rematch of the Super Bowl four years ago.

Mahomes ran 8 yards on fourth-and-1 to keep the Chiefs' chances alive and then scrambled 19 yards to set up the winning score, which came 14:57 into the extra period — just before what would have been the second OT.

“With all the adversity we’ve been through this season to come through tonight. ... I’m proud of the guys,” said Mahomes, who earned his third Super Bowl MVP award. “This is awesome. Legendary.”

After he connected with a wide-open Hardman, the Chiefs ran on the field as red-and-yellow confetti fell onto the turf.

Mahomes and Reid are now halfway to Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, who won six championships in 20 years together with the New England Patriots and were the most recent team to go back-to-back following the 2003-04 seasons.

The 28-year-old Mahomes becomes the fourth starting QB to win three Super Bowls — joining Brady, Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman — and second-youngest.

“I am going to celebrate tonight, celebrate at the parade and then work my way to get back in this game next year,” Mahomes said. “I am going to do whatever I can to be back in this game next year. Three-peat.”

The most excitement in the first half came when a frustrated Kelce bumped Reid on the sideline, knocking the Chiefs' 65-year-old coach a few steps back after teammate Isiah Pacheco fumbled inside the red zone during the second quarter.

“You guys saw that?” Kelce said. “I’m going to keep it between us unless my ‘mic’d up’ tells the world. I was just telling him how much I loved him.”

The action picked up after a crucial blunder by San Francisco’s special teams set up Mahomes’ 16-yard TD pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a 13-10 lead.

Brock Purdy and the 49ers (14-6) answered but they couldn’t make enough plays, denying Mr. Irrelevant an opportunity to go from last pick in the 2022 NFL draft to Super Bowl champion.

“We have the offense to score touchdowns and I failed to put the team in position to do that," Purdy said.

Niners wide receiver Jauan Jennings threw a TD pass and caught one, joining Eagles quarterback Nick Foles six years ago as the only players to do both in the Super Bowl.

After Moody’s 53-yard field goal gave the Niners a 19-16 lead with 1:53 remaining, Mahomes and Kelce went to work. Mahomes connected with Kelce for a 22-yard gain to set up Harrison Butker’s tying kick, a 29-yarder with 3 seconds left.

A holding call on Kansas City’s Trent McDuffie extended San Francisco’s opening drive of overtime and Purdy made key throws to drive the 49ers to the Chiefs 9. But San Francisco settled for a field goal.

Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and the Niners jumped ahead 10-0, but that’s no big deal for Mahomes and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. They’ve trailed by 10 points in all three of their victories, including last year’s 38-35 win over Philadelphia.

Mahomes wasn’t at his best early and threw an interception. But with the game on the line, he was a magician once again. He finished 34 of 46 for 333 yards and two TDs.

The Chiefs were hardly dominant during the regular season and entered the playoffs as the AFC's No. 3 seed. They won at Buffalo and at Baltimore in the postseason — the first road playoff games of Mahomes' career — and entered the Super Bowl as 2 1/2-point underdogs, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

“The Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs. Just know that,” Mahomes said.

They became the first team to win consecutive Super Bowls as underdogs; the Philadelphia Eagles were slight favorites a year ago.

The game turned when San Francisco’s Ray-Ray McCloud couldn’t scoop a punt that hit teammate Darrell Luter Jr.’s leg and the Chiefs recovered at the 49ers 16, leading to Mahomes' go-ahead TD pass to Valdes-Scantling.

The Niners answered on the next possession with Purdy tossing a 10-yard TD pass to Jennings for a 16-13 lead. Moody’s extra point was blocked.

Niners coach Kyle Shanahan gambled on fourth-and-3 from the Chiefs 15, passing up a chance for a tying field goal. Purdy hit George Kittle for a 4-yard gain and then found Jennings for the score.

Shanahan resorted to trickery for the only touchdown of the first half.

Jennings, a wide receiver who had never thrown a pass in an NFL game, tossed a 21-yard TD to McCaffrey. He was hit as he threw a wobbly pass across the field, but McCaffrey snagged it and sprinted to the end zone.

Shanahan fell to 0-2 as a head coach in Super Bowls and 0-3 overall, including a loss when he was offensive coordinator for Atlanta. That was the game in which Brady and the Patriots rallied from a 28-3 deficit to win in OT.

“When you go against guys like Tom Brady and Pat Mahomes, you never feel comfortable with a lead. Those guys are two of the best to ever play the game,” Shanahan said.

There were plenty of stars in the building as the NFL brought its biggest game to this gambling mecca — once a taboo idea. Jay-Z, LeBron James and Paul McCartney were among the celebrities in the crowd.

Post Malone sang “America the Beautiful,” Reba McEntire performed the national anthem and Usher electrified the crowd at halftime. He brought out a number of guests, including Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon and Ludacris.

Attendance was announced at 61,629 at the relatively compact Allegiant Stadium, the smallest crowd in Super Bowl history except for the pandemic game in Tampa, Florida, three years ago.

It didn't start out well, but thanks to Mahomes, those fans ended up seeing one of the best Super Bowl finishes.

Barton Wrestling results from NJCAA South Central District

The Barton Community College baseball team opened the 2024 campaign taking two-of-three games on the road at Rose State College this weekend in Midwest City, OK.

Rallying in the middle innings Friday to win 14-7 for their seventh straight season opening victory, the Cougars rewrote the script in game one of Saturday's doubleheader 4-1 before falling 7-6 in the bottom of the ninth in the nightcap.

Now 2-1 on the year, Barton will set its' sights on next weekend's home opening four-game series against Western Nebraska Community College. First pitch of Saturday and Sunday's doubleheaders at Lawson-Biggs Field get underway at 1:00 p.m.

Down 3-0 after the opening frame, Hunter Seier's first collegiate homerun with two-outs in the top of the second got the Cougars on the board trimming the deficit to 3-1.

No. 2 Dodge City won with 190 points, followed by top-ranked Garden City with 174.5 points. No. 7 Derby scored 161 points for third, and No. 4 Hays also scored 156 points.
