Sitting idle for over two weeks due to weather conditions, the Cougars christened Lawson-Biggs Field for the 2025 season plating 38 runs and surrendering just three hits in the ten innings.

In game one Barton scored four runs in their first at-bat with eleven more crossing in the second frame while getting a three-man rotation combining for a no-hitter on the way to a 17-0 victory. 

The Cougars got off to a seven-run start in the nightcap with six additional plate crossings in the second inning for a 15-1 win completing the sweep.

Moving to 3-1 on the young season, the Cougars and Blue Jays will square up again tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. from Lawson-Biggs Field in a single 7-inning contest to wrap up the three game series.

Cougars explosive in home opener

STILLWATER, Okla.
(AP) — Abou Ousmane scored 25 points and Oklahoma State defeated
No. 9 Iowa State 74-68. Arturo Dean had 14 points and seven steals,
and Bryce Thompson added 11 points for the Cowboys. Oklahoma State
had no previous wins over AP Top 25 teams this season under
first-year coach Steve Lutz. The Cowboys lost their previous two
games against ranked opponents Texas Tech and Kansas by a combined 70
points. Josh Jefferson scored 17 points and Nate Heise added 13 for
Iowa State. The Cyclones were trying to bounce back from a loss at
then-No. 5 Houston on Saturday. Keshon Gilbert, the team’s No. 2
scorer this season, sat out with a muscle strain.

CINCINNATI (AP) —
Jizzle James scored 18 points and Cincinnati held off Baylor for a
69-67 win strengthening its case for an at-large bid to the NCAA
Tournament. VJ Edgecombe scored 18 points for Baylor. Edgecombe made
three 3-pointers in succession and Baylor led 57-56 with 8:13 to go.
Aziz Bandaogo followed with a tip-in and Cincinnati led the rest of
the way.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(AP) — Javon Small scored 23 points and had 10 assists to lead West
Virginia to a 73-55 victory over TCU. West Virginia (17-11, 8-9 Big
12) rebounded from a 73-51 loss at then-No. 9 Texas Tech and avenged
a 65-60 loss at TCU. Small and Sencire Harris each scored 11 points
in the first half to help West Virginia build a 42-27 halftime lead.
Trazarien White scored 11 points and was the only player in double
figures for TCU (15-13, 8-9).

DALLAS (AP) —
Conference commissioners who are part of the College Football Playoff
have put off any decisions on potential changes to the format,
including how the 12-team field is seeded. Several commissioners said
after a meeting in Dallas they needed more information before making
any possible adjustments. The meeting came a week after the SEC and
Big Ten commissioners met with their 34 athletic directors and came
out in favor of seeding changes. Rich Clark, the executive director
of the CFP, says much of Tuesday’s meeting included a review of the
first 12-team playoff last season.

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Luka Doncic hit deep 3-pointers and fearlessly drove for layups. He
flung a ridiculous behind-the-head assist to Austin Reaves. Doncic
stared at the Dallas Mavericks’ bench a few times, yet also played
with a smile on his face. In his first meeting with the Mavs since
they traded him away, Doncic knew he was the center of attention, and
the Slovenian superstar appeared ready to rise to the occasion. The
25-year-old Doncic was the face of the Mavericks franchise until
general manager Nico Harrison suddenly decided he wasn’t. Lakers
fans chanted “Thank you, Nico!” to celebrate the deal.

Diana Taurasi of the
Phoenix Mercury retires after 20 WNBA seasons, 3 titles and 6 Olympic
golds

PHOENIX (AP) —
Diana Taurasi is retiring after 20 seasons, ending one of the
greatest careers in women’s basketball history. The WNBA’s career
scoring leader and a three-time league champion, Taurasi announced
her retirement on Tuesday in an interview with Time magazine. The
Phoenix Mercury — the only WNBA team she played for — also
confirmed her decision. The 42-year-old won her sixth Olympic gold
medal at the Paris Games and finishes her WNBA career with 10,646
points, nearly 3,000 more than second-place Tina Charles. She led
UConn to three consecutive national titles and kept winning after the
Mercury selected her No. 1 overall in the 2004 WNBA draft.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) —
Georgia fans showed it’s possible to storm the court for a postgame
celebration — and to be polite at the same time. The Stegeman
Coliseum public address announcer made repeated requests in the final
minute of Georgia’s 88-83 upset of No. 3 Florida to wait 90 seconds
after the game and give the Gators and officials time to leave the
court. The message, delivered during late timeouts, included the
addendum that fans then would be welcome to celebrate on the court.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was fans followed the instructions.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta considers the mounting
allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior against kicker Justin
Tucker “serious” and “concerning.” He said Tuesday the team
will let the NFL's investigation play out before determining how to
proceed. The Baltimore Banner reported that 16 massage therapists in
the Baltimore area have accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior.
DeCosta says he has met with Tucker but declined to provide specifics
of the conversation. The Ravens have instituted a zero-tolerance
policy but DeCosta says the team will apply that policy on a
case-by-case basis.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni pushed back against the Green
Bay Packers’ proposal to ban the tush push play his team has used
so successfully in short-yardage situations, including during its
victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. Green Bay
general manager Brian Gutekunst confirmed Tuesday that the Packers
were the team that had made that proposal. The tush push is a
modified quarterback sneak where teammates behind Jalen Hurts push
him forward to help him try to gain the yardage necessary for a first
down or touchdown.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
The Cincinnati Bengals plan to make All-Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr
Chase the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. Coach Zac Taylor
added the team also wants to extend Tee Higgins’ contract and
continue giving Joe Burrow the playmakers that help make one of the
league’s most dynamic passing attacks. Chase led the league in
receptions (127), yards receiving (1,708) and touchdown catches (17)
this past season, becoming just the sixth wide receiver in the Super
Bowl era to achieve the receiving triple crown. The Bengals picked up
his fifth-year option of $21.816 million, but will give him a
long-term deal in the range of $40 million per year. Higgins played
last season on the $21.8 million franchise tag.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Howie Roseman’s forehead has healed from the beer can that left him
bloodied at the Philadelphia Eagles’ victory parade, and the
general manager is working on getting the team in position to repeat.
Less than two weeks after the Eagles and their fans celebrated the
franchise’s second Super Bowl title, Roseman and coach Nick
Sirianni joined their peers at the NFL’s scouting combine as teams
get set to evaluate college prospects ahead of the draft in April.
Roseman says his roster “may look different” next season and he
asked the fickle Philly fans for patience.

Tuesday on Sports Day(Watch)

By COLE REIF Great Bend Post

The National Junior College Athletic Association’s Region VI basketball
tournaments are slated to be hosted at Gross Memorial Coliseum in Hays
beginning on March 14 for the semifinals. That’s plan A.


The Fort Hays State University women’s basketball team is 24-2 and has a
chance to host the first three rounds of the NCAA Division II national
tournament the same week. If Fort Hays is chosen as a top seed, plan B is to host
the junior college Region tournament in Great Bend at Barton Community College.


Barton Athletic Director Trevor Rolfs said there is a chance administration
will not know the host site until the Sunday before the tournaments.


"Fort Hays women picked up a huge win over Pittsburg State on Saturday," said Rolfs. "That kind of put the Tigers in the driver's seat from a Kansas school hosting, but there are two Minnesota schools vying to host as well. The next two weeks are going to be kind of crazy."


Last year the Division I community colleges in Kansas played the Region VI
tournament in Hutchinson at the Sports Arena. With the Class 3A state high
school basketball championships being held in Hutchinson the same week as the Region
VI tournament this year, the Jayhawk Conference landed on the Fort Hays site,
with Barton as the backup.


"No matter where it is, we're getting our ducks in a row," said Rolfs. "The logistics are crazy. Obviously, if it's at Barton, we're going to handle assigning all the table workers. Then trying to fill the gaps if it is in Hays...it's going to be interesting as the next couple of weeks play out."

The first round and quarterfinals of the Region VI tournament are hosted by
schools with the higher seed. The semifinals and championship games, for both the
women and men, will be played on the FHSU campus.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

chance to host the first three rounds of the NCAA Division II national
tournament the same week. If Fort Hays is chosen as a top seed, plan B is to host
the junior college Region tournament in Great Bend at Barton Community College.
Barton Athletic Director Trevor Rolfs said there is a chance administration
will not know the host site until the Sunday before the tournaments.
"Fort Hays women picked up a huge win over Pittsburg State on Saturday," said Rolfs. "That kind of put the Tigers in the driver's seat from a Kansas school hosting, but there are two Minnesota schools vying to host as well. The next two weeks are going to be kind of crazy."
Last year the Division I community colleges in Kansas played the Region VI
tournament in Hutchinson at the Sports Arena. With the Class 3A state high
school basketball championships being held in Hutchinson the same week as the Region
VI tournament this year, the Jayhawk Conference landed on the Fort Hays site,
with Barton as the backup.
"No matter where it is, we're getting our ducks in a row," said Rolfs. "The logistics are crazy. Obviously, if it's at Barton, we're going to handle assigning all the table workers. Then trying to fill the gaps if it is in Hays...it's going to be interesting as the next couple of weeks play out."The first round and quarterfinals of the Region VI tournament are hosted by
schools with the higher seed. The semifinals and championship games, for both the
women and men, will be played on the FHSU campus.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Barton hosting Region Tournament depends on Fort Hays State

The 10th ranked Barton Community College men's track and field team won a trio of events over the weekend in placing fourth overall at the KJCCC/Region 6 Indoor Championships.

The Cougars compiled 77 points, twelve shy of hardware as thirty points came from the three gold medal performances within their eleven top eight placings over two days at Pittsburg State University's Robert W. Plaster Center, twelve shy of hardware. Hutchinson won the title with 109 points bettering Coffeyville's 93 and Butler's 89 points.

Barton concludes the indoor season in a couple of weeks competing at the 2025 NJCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships held March 7-8 at Texas Tech University's Sports Performance Center in Lubbock, Texas.

Photo by Ed Bailey PhotographyFor the second consecutive region indoor championships, Trevon Hamer was named the Field Athlete of the Meet in scoring 18 points including a record breaking performance on Sunday. A day prior, Hamer was locked in a long jump battle and despite soaring well past 22-feet in five of his six jumps, had to settle for second place for the second straight year, this time just 1.25 inches out of gold on a mark of 7.59m (24-10.75).

On Sunday, Hamer led the triple jump throughout, bettering his first round mark on a second attempt 16.25m (53-3.75) to tie the Plaster Center facility best and break the meet record set by former Olympian and NJCAA Track Hall of Famer Melvin Lister. The nation's top mark would also move the two-time region champion up a spot to 5th best in program history.

In addition to Hamer's title, Simeon Adams' helped compile the Cougars' other pair of golds including capping Barton's 400m sweep by following the Lady Cougars' Keliza Smith's record breaking performance by clocking a personal best 47.57 to better the men's 34-man field.

Earlier in the day, Adams got the already nationally qualified 4x800m relay squad off to a good start passing the baton through the line of Jasiah Clapp, Keandro Gordon, and Gabriel Carty for an event winning 7:52.69 time.

Three hours later Adams was back on the track anchoring the 4x400m relay squad of Devonric Mack, Joshua Mascall, and Wanyae Belle to their heat's fastest time to place 3rd overall with a national qualifying time of 3:13.30.

UCF hosts N'Guessan and Kansas State

By TODD MOORE Barton Sports Info

The 4th ranked Barton Community College women's track and field team won seven events over the weekend towards a runner-up finish at the KJCCC/Region 6 Indoor Championships.

The Cougars' small but talented group compiled 138.5 points, powered by 20 scoring performances in two days of competition at Pittsburg State University's Robert W. Plaster Center. Barton's total fell shy of Cloud County's 175.5 points but comfortably ahead of Hutchinson's third place 85 point total.

A pair of individual hardware were handed out to the Cougars during post-meet awards, Emmanuel Dixon named the Women's Assistant Coach of the Year and freshman Celine Riddle earning the Women's Field Athlete of the Meet. 

Riddle helped carry on the tradition of Barton's region dominance of the runway jumps by winning both the long and triple jump events to join Nia Robinson's 2022 feat as the last Cougar to win both.

In Saturday's long jump, Riddle's personal best 5.80m (19-00.25) edged out defending champion Chloe Perryman's 5.67m (18-7.25) in registering the second straight year the Cougars finished in the top two spots. The accomplishment also marked the fourth straight and fifth-of-the-last-six region championship meets that Barton stood on top of the medal stand. Previous winners were: Chloe Perryman ('24), Kay-Lagay Clarke ('23), Nia Robinson ('22), and Shemia Odane ('20).

On Sunday the Cougars again went 1-2 in the triple jump, Riddle winning Barton's 6th straight region title by marking an 11.78m (38-7.75) jump, just 1.5 inches ahead of fellow freshman Kymia Bridgett's personal best 11.74 (38-6.25). Previous winners were: Kay-Lagay Clarke ('24), Brittania Ingram ('23), Nia Robinson ('22), and Annia Ashley's consecutive titles ('21 and '20).

Additionally making historic news was sophomore Keliza Smith with a pair of program best Top-10 performances. Smith's first move on the all-time chart came in defending her region 60m crown by clocking an event winning 7.31 time in moving up a spot to 8th fastest in program history.

Two hours later, Smith took on the 400m field for just the second time in her collegiate career and first attempt in over a year, beating the field by over a second to break Barton legend Inez Turner's 33-year Region 6 meet record set in 1992 by clocking a program 3rd fastest time of 53.77 which also jumps to the top of the current season nation's leaderboard.

The Cougars earned their first of seven individual championships in Saturday's first event of the pentathlon. Finishing 2nd in the 60m hurdles (9.45) followed by a third place in the high jump (1.50m), Alexia Walker took over the top spot in the third event by winning the ensuing shot put (9.93m). The freshman then grew her lead winning both the long jump (4.95m) and the finale 800m grueling run (2:30.98) for a 126 point victory compiling 3191 points in capturing the Cougars' second multi-event region title in the past three seasons. Walker returned Sunday to earn the team another 5.5 points rising to a 3rd place tie in the high jump on a new personal best 1.52m height.

Joining Walker and Riddle's titles on Saturday, Cedricka Williams distanced the weight throw field by over five feet. Previously marking a program 7th best throw earlier this season, Williams' win on Saturday was just eight inches shy of her best in marking a trio of over 56-feet throws with the winning distance recorded at 17.20m (56-5.00).

Fellow thrower Zadie Mackey placed 6th in the event on a personal best 14.46m (47-05.00) mark then followed on Sunday with a 4th place in the shot put at 12.28m (47-05.00) mark.

Giving Barton its second consecutive 60m hurdle region title, freshman Asharria Ulett bettered her nation's top time by clocking an 8.37 twice, the first coming in prelims followed by Sunday's winning performance. Fellow freshman Ty'yanah Adams also clocked a new best with a third place 8.68 time in earning an additional six team points.

Additional runner-up placings came from Kialia Claiborne's personal best 600m time of 1:37.03 and the 4x400m relay team of Narissa McPherson, Shone Walters, Claiborne, and Natasha Fox crossing just .05 of a second shy of a title. Still the nation's top ranked squad nearly a second faster, the Cougars' clocked a 3:45.30 time on Sunday in the meet's final event.

Monday Statewide Scores

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Hunter Dickinson scored a season-high 32 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to help Kansas defeat Colorado 71-64 on Monday night.

Dickinson made 13 of 18 shots and 6 of 10 free throws for the Jayhawks (19-9, 10-7 Big 12 Conference), who fell out of the AP Top 25 for the first time since Feb. 8, 2021, after losing three of five before arriving in Boulder. It was the 12th double-double this season for Dickinson.

KJ Adams had 15 points for Kansas and Rylan Griffen scored 10.

Bangot Dak had 16 points on 7-for-10 shooting to lead the Buffaloes (11-17, 2-15), who had won two of three following a 13-game losing streak. Julian Hammond III scored 11.

Kansas only trailed in the game for 20 seconds, but the Buffaloes wouldn't go away.

Dickinson had 15 points by halftime to help the Jayhawks take a 37-32 lead.

Colorado took its only lead when Hammond scored in the paint to make it 39-38 with 15:39 remaining. Dickinson answered with a jumper and a three-point play and Kansas never trailed again. The Buffaloes managed to even the score twice and trailed 62-60 after Hammond nailed a 3-pointer with 4:12 left. They would get no closer.

The Jayhawks move a half-game behind 25th-ranked BYU for fifth place in the conference with three games left in the regular season.

Kansas has won three in a row and 22 of the last 23 matchups with the Buffaloes and leads the all-time series 126-40.

— Milos Uzan scored a career-high 22 points and No. 4 Houston
clinched at least a share of the Big 12 regular-season title with a
69-61 victory over 10th-ranked Texas Tech. J’Wan Roberts had 16
points and seven rebounds as the Cougars avenged their only

and Elijah Hawkins scored 14 points apiece for the short-handed Red
Raiders, who were without two of their top three scorers.

UNDATED (AP) — The
University of Utah fired men’s basketball coach Craig Smith a day
after a 76-72 loss at Central Florida that dropped the Utes to 15-12
this season. Smith was in his fourth season in charge of the program.
He was 65-62. Smith will be replaced by assistant coach Josh Eilert

to the semifinals of the National Invitation Tournament a season ago

The Bears led 36-26 at halftime after making 6 of 16 3-pointers,
compared to 1 of 8 for Kansas State. Vonleh didn’t score again
until the 4:27 mark of the third quarter to begin an 11-2 run that
she capped for a 54-41 lead. She scored eight points in the frame.

UNDATED (AP) —
Auburn remained atop the AP Top 25 for the seventh straight week
Monday while preseason No. 1 Kansas fell out of the men’s
basketball poll for the first time since February 2021. That ended a
streak of 80 consecutive ranked weeks for the Jayhawks. The Tigers
were a unanimous No. 1 and were followed by Duke, Florida, Houston

Texas moved up to No. 1 in The Associated Press women's basketball
poll for the first time in 21 years after Notre Dame lost in overtime
to N.C. State. The Longhorns are the third different school to hold
the top spot in the past three weeks. UCLA, Notre Dame, USC and UConn
round out the top five. Florida State and Louisville re-entered the
Top 25 while Illinois and Georgia Tech fell out of the poll.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
One NFL team is proposing an end to the tush push play the
Philadelphia Eagles have used so successfully at the goal line and in
short-yardage situations, including during their victory over the
Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. According to NFL Network and the
Washington Post, league executive Troy Vincent said Monday that a
team submitted a proposal to ban the play. Vincent didn't identify
the team. The tush push is a modified quarterback sneak where two
teammates behind Jalen Hurts push him forward to help him try to gain
the yardage necessary for a first down or touchdown.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
The hopes of many NFL teams will start taking shape this week as the
league’s annual scouting combine begins in Indianapolis. As usual,
there's plenty to debate. There doesn’t appear to be a clear-cut
No. 1 overall pick or a top quarterback yet. Scouts are still trying
to determine whether Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter would be
more productive as a shutdown cornerback, a playmaking receiver or
both. And with 329 players arriving starting Tuesday, teams will be
looking to get answers to some of their biggest questions.

DENVER (AP) — An
assistant coach for the Denver Broncos is facing a felony assault
charge after being accused of punching a police officer in the face
at Denver International Airport. Outside linebackers coach Michael
Wilhoite was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault on a
police officer and booked into the Denver jail on Sunday, according
to jail records. A judge set a $5,000 bond on Monday.

MILWAUKEE (AP) —
It wasn’t too long ago that many colleges weren’t even selling
alcoholic beverages at sporting events on campus. Now, dozens upon
dozens of them are partnering with local breweries to have their own
officially licensed craft beers to sell at games and in local grocery
stores, with schools or collectives getting part of the proceeds.
Sponsorship and licensing company Learfield manages sports
sponsorships for over 160 universities and licensing agreements for
nearly 800 colleges. It says 93 of its schools had licensing deals
for alcoholic beverages for the first six months of the current
fiscal year.

UNDATED (AP) —
There is a week left in the regular season for the four major
conferences and teams have their final few chances to get quality
wins and avoid bubble-bursting losses. Virginia Tech is one of those
schools hoping to end up in the NCAA Tournament. The Hokies have two
games left in the regular season against Boston College and Clemson.
Another key game this weekend for teams sitting near the edge of the
bubble is Harvard hosting Princeton.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.
(AP) — New York Mets starter Sean Manaea is expected to begin the
season on the injured list because of a right oblique strain. Manaea
said Monday that he had been dealing with the issue since getting to
spring training. He says it never got worse but never improved. The
left-hander was the Mets’ top starter last season and then got a
$75 million, three-year contract. He had an MRI over the weekend and
won't throw for two to three weeks. Manager Carlos Mendoza also said
infielder Nick Madrigal fractured his non-throwing shoulder in a
spring training game Sunday.

rebounds to help Kansas defeat Colorado 71-64. Dickinson made 13 of
18 shots and 6 of 10 free throws for the Jayhawks (19-9, 10-7 Big 12
Conference), who fell out of the AP Top 25 for the first time since
Feb. 8, 2021, after losing three of five before arriving in Boulder.
It was the 12th double-double this season for Dickinson. KJ Adams had
15 points for Kansas and Rylan Griffen scored 10. Bangot Dak had 16

69-61 victory over 10th-ranked Texas Tech. J’Wan Roberts had 16
points and seven rebounds as the Cougars avenged their only
conference loss. It was 82-81 at home in overtime when the Red

Raiders, who were without two of their top three scorers.UNDATED (AP) — The
University of Utah fired men’s basketball coach Craig Smith a day
after a 76-72 loss at Central Florida that dropped the Utes to 15-12
this season. Smith was in his fourth season in charge of the program.
He was 65-62. Smith will be replaced by assistant coach Josh Eilert
on an interim basis as the school conducts a national search. The
Utes are 7-9 in the Big 12 Conference this season. The team advanced
to the semifinals of the National Invitation Tournament a season ago
while in the Pac-12.MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP)
— Aaronette Vonleh had a season-high 24 points and 12 rebounds for
her third double-double of the season, and No. 17 Baylor beat No. 14
Kansas State 79-62 for its season-long ninth straight victory. Vonleh
scored Baylor’s opening 10 points of the game and the Bears led
23-12 after starting the second quarter on a 7-2 run. Sarah Andrews
made her third 3-pointer in the opening 15 minutes to go ahead 32-19.
The Bears led 36-26 at halftime after making 6 of 16 3-pointers,
compared to 1 of 8 for Kansas State. Vonleh didn’t score again
until the 4:27 mark of the third quarter to begin an 11-2 run that
she capped for a 54-41 lead. She scored eight points in the frame.UNDATED (AP) —
Auburn remained atop the AP Top 25 for the seventh straight week

LEWISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Former Major League Baseball star Alex Rodriguez showed his skill on the hardwood Sunday, making a half-court shot to win a Bucknell student $10,000.

The 14-time All-Star was invited to take the shot during halftime of Bucknell's basketball game against Army, which the Bison won 84-53. The 49-year-old tossed a high-arching shot that banked off the backboard and through the hoop, setting off a celebration with students.

The three-time MVP was at Bucknell to speak about his company Jump Platforms, which he founded with two other entrepreneurs, Jordy Leiser and Marc Lore. Lore and Leiser graduated from Bucknell, and Leiser is a trustee.

UCF the lead and Keyshawn Hall added two free throws after a turnover
as the Knights knocked off Utah, 76-72 to snap a seven-game losing
streak and earn their first win in a month. The victory was the first
for UCF (13-6, 4-4 Big 12) since beating TCU January 25.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) —
Arizona has apologized after the school says some fans participated
in an “unacceptable chant” following the basketball team’s
96-95 loss to BYU on Saturday night. According to online video, fans
can be heard yelling a profane phrase directed at Mormons as the
teams were leaving the court. BYU is the flagship school for The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Richie Saunders scored
23 points, including two free throws with 3.2 seconds left, to give
BYU the road victory at No. 19 Arizona. It was the Cougars’ fourth
win in a row and second consecutive over a ranked opponent.

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) —
Christopher Bell edged Carson Hocevar and Kyle Larson in overtime
Sunday in another close NASCAR Cup Series finish at Atlanta Motor
Speedway. Bell led only the final lap in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota
and had a slight edge on the outside when the caution light came on
in overtime following a wreck by Josh Berry. The 30-year-old Oklahoma
driver has 10 career Cup victories. Austin Cindric led in his Team
Penske Ford before he and William Byron, the Daytona 500 winner last
week, wrecked with three laps remaining, setting up the overtime.
Kyle Busch finished seventh, ending his hopes of snapping a winless
streak on the Cup Series. Busch won the Atlanta Truck Series race
Saturday.

VALLARTA, Mexico
(AP) — Brian Campbell played well enough to win the Mexico Open for
his first PGA Tour victory. He also needed the break of a lifetime.
In a playoff with Aldrich Potgieter, Campbell sent his tee shot on
the second extra hole well off the property and out-of-bounds. But it
hit some trees and bounced back in play. He wound up hitting wedge to
4 feet for the winning birdie when Potgieter failed to make his
6-foot birdie putt. The victory sends Campbell to the Masters and PGA
Championship and The Players Championship. He also gets into five $20
million signature events.

FORT MYERS, Fla.
(AP) — Alex Bregman hit a two-run homer as part of a three-hit day
in his spring training debut with the Boston Red Sox, launching a
drive over the left-field wall in the second inning against the
Toronto Blue Jays. Bregman also had a single in the first inning and
a double off the fence in the fourth. The two-time All-Star signed a
$120 million, three-year deal with Boston this month after spending
the first nine years of his career with the Houston Astros.

Monday 1A Girls Sub-State matchups

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Taryn Sides scored 15 points, Sernea Sundell set a school single-game record with 15 assists and No. 12 Kansas State celebrated a brief appearance by All-American Ayoka Lee with a 90-60 win over rival Kansas on Saturday.

Lee, who missed eight games with a leg injury, had six points in five minutes. A fifth-year player who also redshirted as a freshman and was injured as a senior, opened the game with a layup and the next basket gave the Wildcats a 4-3 lead they wouldn't relinquish to make it a successful Senior Day.

Temira Poindexter added 14 points for Kansas State (25-4, 13-3 Big 12 Conference), which has won 17 straight home games. Gisela Sanchez and Zyanna Walker both had 12 points and Kennedy Taylor 10. Sundell became the third KSU player to surpass 200 assists in a season, to go with nine points.

Elle Evans scored 15 points for the Jayhawks (15-12, 6-11). Zoe Canfield added 12 points and Regan Williams 10.

Kansas was 10 of 20 on 3-pointers but 10 of 35 inside the arc. Kansas State shot 53% overall, including 13 of 28 behind the arc, five by Sides. Sides also had six assists as the Wildcats had 28 on 34 baskets.

Kansas State shot 60% in the first quarter to go up 26-12 and led by as many as 19 in the second quarter before settling for a 46-31 lead at the half as Sides drilled a buzzer-beating 3-pointer.

The Wildcats shot 57% while the Jayhawks were 6 of 12 behind the arc and 5 of 16 inside the arc in the first half. K-State was also plus-10 in rebounding.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Hunter Dickinson had 16 points and 11 rebounds, and four other Jayhawks scored at least 14 as&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-basketball-poll">No. 23</a>&nbsp;Kansas demolished Oklahoma State 96-64 on Saturday.

The Jayhawks (18-9, 9-7 Big 12) used a well-rounded offensive attack and held the Cowboys to almost 30 points below their season average. They started the first half slowly before finally seizing control with a late run. They led by 29 at halftime and stretched it to as many as 39 points in the second half.

Besides Dickinson, Kansas got 15 points from David Coit and Zeke Mayo. Dajuan Harris Jr. had an excellent all-around game with 14 points, five assists and six steals.

Oklahoma State (13-14, 5-11) was led by Bryce Thompson with 21 points.

Oklahoma State: The Cowboys fell to 0-8 on the road in Big 12 play. They haven't won in Lawrence since 2018.

Kansas: The Jayhawks needed a blowout victory. They had lost on four consecutive Saturdays and had suffered back-to-back losses to Utah and BYU.

Kansas was holding a tenuous four-point lead at 23-19 with just under 9:00 left in the first half when Harris hit a 3-pointer. That started a 19-2 run that blew open the game. In that run, Harris twice found KJ Adams for alley-oop dunks that ignited the Kansas crowd.

Kansas shot 57.1% from the field and held OSU to just 36.7%. Kansas had its most 3-pointers in a game this season (14), surpassing the 11 the Jayhawks had in their season-opening victory over Howard. They were three makes away from the school record.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska canceled two nonconference games against Tennessee as part of a plan to recoup lost revenue from reduced seating capacity during major renovations of Memorial Stadium in 2027, athletic director Troy Dannen announced Friday.

The Cornhuskers and Volunteers had been scheduled to meet in Lincoln on Sept. 12, 2026, and in Knoxville on Sept. 11, 2027.

“Tennessee is not canceling this series. Nebraska did. We are very disappointed that they didn’t want to play these games, especially this close to 2026,” Tennessee athletic director Danny White said on social media.

Nebraska replaced Tennessee on its schedule with home games against Bowling Green in 2026 and Miami (Ohio) in 2027. The Huskers also scheduled an additional matchup with Northern Iowa in 2027, giving them eight home games that season for the first time since 2013.

“The best scenario for us is to have eight home games in 2027 to offset any potential revenue loss from a reduced capacity,” Dannen said. "The additional home games will also have a tremendous economic benefit on the Lincoln community.”
