ST. LOUIS (AP) — The game between the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants was postponed Friday night because of rain. The contest was rescheduled for 12:15 p.m. CDT on Saturday as part of a day-night doubleheader. The weekend’s three-game series is the final time the teams play each other this season. Matt Cain was scheduled to pitch for the Giants on Friday night against rookie Shelby Miller for the Cardinals.
Pre-game coverage begins at 11:20-a.m. Saturday, on KJAN.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State announced Friday that former Marshall guard DeAndre Kane will play for the Cyclones next season. Kane, who averaged 15.1 points and ranked 11th nationally with seven assists per game last season, has one year of eligibility left. Kane figures to challenge for the starting job at point guard for Iowa State, which lost four perimeter players from last year’s NCAA tournament team. Kane scored nearly 1,500 points in three seasons at Marshall.
Coach Fred Hoiberg says Kane will add “great versatility” to the Cyclones, while Kane says Iowa State’s up-tempo style was a major draw.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Tom Lehman, Duffy Waldorf, Dan Forsman and Scott Hoch shot 3-under 69 on Friday to share the first-round lead in the Champions Tour’s Principal Charity Classic. Hale Irwin, who turns 68 on Monday, topped a group of eight at 70. Defending champion Jay Haas opened with a 71, and tour points leader Bernhard Langer had a 72.
This event is in its first year at Wakonda Club. The tournament was held at Glen Oaks Country Club in neighboring West Des Moines 11 of the last 12 years. The switch led to much higher scores than usual. The first-round leading score was the highest ever in Iowa — and every player had at least one bogey.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — President Barack Obama has signed a disaster declaration for Iowa, making federal funds available to 19 counties that were battered by severe storms and flooding in April. The declaration signed Friday covers a period from April 17 to 30 in 19 counties, including Ringgold, in the KJAN listening area.
The action makes federal funds available to state and some local governments as well as certain nonprofit groups on a cost-sharing basis. The money can be used for emergency work and the repair or replacement of damaged facilities. The federal funds also can be used for hazard mitigation statewide.
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men’s basketball team bolstered its backcourt with the addition of Marshall transfer DeAndre Kane, a 6-4, 195-pound guard who averaged 15.1 points, 7.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds last season. Kane earned All-Conference USA second team honors and ranked 11th nationally in assists per game last season for the Thundering Herd.
“Having lost four perimeter players that were major contributors last year, DeAndre adds great versatility to our team,” Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg said. “His experience will be a great addition to our team.”
Kane, a Pittsburgh, Pa. native, will be eligible immediately after graduating from Marshall. He signed his financial aid agreement to attend Iowa State.
“The up-tempo offense ISU runs played a major role in my decision,” Kane said. “I like to get up and down the court. The style that Coach Hoiberg allows his team to play fits my game perfectly.”
Kane made 26 starts for the Thundering Herd while playing in 28 of 32 games. He was one of just two players in Division I to average at least 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists. Kane played a league best 37.1 minutes per game, including eight complete games. He earned conference player of the week honors after posting Marshall’s fourth triple double in school history with a 33-point, 11-rebound and 10-assist performance against Hofstra.
In three seasons with Marshall, Kane scored 1,496 points and grabbed 498 rebounds. He has averaged over 15 points per game in each season, including a career-best 16.5 points as a sophomore.
Kane owns the Conference USA Tournament single-season record for points scored after tallying 40 in Marshall’s 2012 triple overtime win against Tulsa.
Kane played prep basketball at The Patterson School in Lenoir, N.C., in 2008-09. Prior to attending Patterson he won a state championship as a junior at Pittsburgh’s Schenley High School.
