AMES, Iowa (AP) – Former Iowa State women’s basketball star Kelsey Bolte will play professionally in France next season. Iowa State says Bolte has signed to play with a team in Nice, which competes in France’s top women’s basketball league. Bolte averaged 16.9 points per game last season for the Cyclones, helping Iowa State finish 22-11 and earn its fifth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. Bolte will leave for France on Monday for training camp.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) – The Kansas City Chiefs have voted unanimously to recertify as a players union. Several players said Friday there was no sentiment not to recertify the NFL Players Association as a union. “I know a lot of the deal was based on the fact that we had to recertify,” quarterback Matt Cassell said. “We know as of Aug. 4 this labor lockout would continue. We voted unanimously to end it and recertify.” The union decertified last March at the start of the owners’ lockout. Once the NFLPA regains its union status, it can finish negotiating the collective bargaining agreement with the NFL. Having that done will allow players who have agreed to new deals to join their teams.

A woman has been inured after a one vehicle crash in Fremont County.
At about 4:30 Thursday, police were notified of a rollover accident about two miles north of 120th street on highway 59.
A vehicle driven by Dung Thi Nguyen was northbound on highway 59 when she lost control. The vehicle entered a ditch and rolled over onto its top. Investigators say neither speed nor alcohol were contributing factors to the incident.
When officers arrived, they found Nguyen on the side of the road having been assisted by a passerby. Nguyen was taken to Shenandoah Memorial Hospital by Shenandoah Rescue. She was treated for minor injuries. No other details are known at this time.
