BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — East Mississippi Community College will host Iowa Western Community College in the Mississippi Bowl at Biloxi High School.
The game will kick off at 2 p.m. on Dec. 7.
East Mississippi (11-0) enters the game as the No. 1 team in the nation and Iowa Western (11-0) is not far behind at No. 2 in National Junior College Athletic Association poll.
East Mississippi is the defending Mississippi Bowl champion after beating Georgia Military last year.
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) – An official in the Dominican Republic says St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Oscar Taveras was drunk at the time of his fatal car crash last month in his Caribbean homeland.
A spokeswoman for the Dominican attorney general’s office told The Associated Press toxicology reports showed Taveras had a blood-alcohol level five times the country’s legal limit when he lost control of his car Oct. 26.
Taveras hit .239 with three homers and 22 RBIs in 80 games this year.
An administrative assistant from Council Bluffs conquered the Ozark Trail 100 Mile Endurance Run held Nov. 1st & 2nd. The Daily NonPareil reports. Annie Jobe, a divorced, single mom of three kids, was one of only six women to finish the race, her longest run ever. The route follows the Ozark Trail through the Mark Twain National Forest in south-central Missouri. The path includes several water crossings and an elevation gain of 12,000 to 15,000 feet.
Jobe’s boyfriend served as her pacer for the event. Temperatures were in the 20s when runners took off at 6 a.m. Nov. 1, Jobe said. Overnight, they dropped into the teens. There were 13 aid stations where runners could get water, food and supplements, Jobe said. Race monitors at one station took Jobe into a trailer with a heater so she could get thawed out and change her clothes and shoes.
Jobe grew up in Council Bluffs and graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School, where she was on the dance team. She studied health and nutritional science at Iowa Western Community College. She started running about five years ago after the birth of her third child, as a means of losing some weight. The adrenaline rush she found in running motivated Jobe to aspire to bigger challenges, such as a half-marathon and then her first full-marathon, in May, 2010.
In June, 2014, Jobe ran a 100k in Wisconsin and a 50-miler in September in Kansas. Running is now part of her everyday life.

AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State women’s basketball program and head coach Bill Fennelly announced Wednesday that three prep standouts have signed their letters of intent. The three players have signed to play for the Cyclones starting in 2015-16.
The 2015 class was ranked 15th nationally by ProspectsNation.com making it the highest-rated class in program history. Iowa State’s three-member class included the No. 1 player in Canada and two top-45 standouts.
“I am very excited about the three players we are adding to the Iowa State family,” Fennelly said. “My staff worked very hard to evaluate these kids and I could not be more pleased with our class. They and their families are great additions to Iowa State.”
Bridget Carleton, a 6-1 guard who hails from Chatham, Ontario, Canada, is a starter on Canada’s U18 Junior National team. Carleton was also a captain in Canada’s U16 and U17 squads. She earned first and second-team nods in 2013 and 2014 and earned first-team honors at the Canadian National Championship. At John McGregor Secondary school, Carleton has helped the Panthers to a current 27-2 record during her senior year, averaging 26.5 points, 10.0 rebounds 4.0 assists and 4.0 steals while shooting 51 percent from the field. Carleton is rated as the top 2015 prospect in Canada by Crown Scout Recruiting Service and is the Cyclones first player from Canada.
“Bridget is our first player from Canada and we could not be more excited,” Fennelly said. “She has all the tools needed to be a very good player in the Big 12. Bridget already has played at a high level as she has represented Canada in numerous international competitions.”
Meredith Burkhall, a 6-3 forward from Urbandale, Iowa, is a three-year starter at Roosevelt High School. Burkhall was named first-team all-conference her freshman, sophomore and junior seasons with the Rough Riders. In her junior year, she averaged 18.6 points and 9.6 rebounds. At Roosevelt, Burkhall is just eight points away from reaching the 1,000-point mark. Burkhall is also rated the top prospect out of the state of Iowa and is rated 45th nationally on ProspectsNation.com.
“Mere is the best player in our state,” Fennelly said. “She is long and athletic in the post where we need some added depth. Mere has good skills and hands and has a great upside. She has an infectious personality that I know our fans will love.”
T’Aire Starks (TeeTee), a 5-11 guard out of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, is a two-time all-conference selection who averaged 9.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists her junior season in just 19 games played due to injury. Starks led Hopkins High School to back-to-back state championships her freshman and sophomore seasons with records of 30-2 and 31-1. Starks is rated the No. 39 prospect on ProspectsNation.com and is the top prospect in Minnesota according to 5 State Hoops.
“TeeTee is a winner! She comes out of a great high school program (Hopkins HS) and AAU program (North Tartan) so she has played a high level for a long time,” Fennelly said. “She is a great defender and can play any guard position. Her versatility and toughness will help our team.”
Kiel Moore, a national recruiting analyst for ProspectsNation.com com called Iowa State’s 2015 class one of the top in the country.
“With a three-player class of Bridget Carleton, Meredith Burkhall, and TeeTee Starks, Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly and his staff have again landed one of the top-25 recruiting classes in the country,” said Keil Moore, a national recruiting analyst for ProspectsNation.com. “All three players have the ability to bring something different to the program while also being able to contribute early in their careers in their area of strength. There is talent, potential, and that little something special about this trio of prospects and it could be a fun four years in Ames with them on campus.”
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg announced the signing of junior college player Darien Williams to a national letter of intent for the 2015-16 season.
Williams (6-8, F, So., San Francisco, Calif.), widely considered to be one of the top freshman junior college players a year ago, will enroll at Iowa State with three seasons of eligibility left. He played the 2013-14 season at Iowa Western Community College and is currently attending City College of San Francisco. Williams is sitting out the 2014-15 after having shoulder surgery last summer.

AMES, Iowa – Progress on the Jack Trice Stadium south end zone (SEZ) project will cause changes for fans attending the final two games (Texas Tech, Nov. 22; West Virginia, Nov. 29) of the 2014 Iowa State football home slate.
The most significant changes involve the discontinuance of seating on the south hillsides and entrances at the south end for the remaining two home games of the season. Fans who have purchased season hillside tickets will be directed to the north hillsides or sections S and R in the NE corner of Jack Trice Stadium.
The south end zone bleachers will still be in use for the final two games, however access to the seats will be altered because of construction. Fans will no longer be able to enter the south end zone bleachers from the south side of the stadium or south hillsides. Fans with seats in the south bleachers will be directed to use the stairs from the concourse on either the east or west side of the stadium.
Also, there will be no ADA ramp on the south side of the stadium. Patrons who are mobility impaired are encouraged to enter on the north side of the stadium where they will be driven to the concourse level by stadium staff members.
The Iowa State Athletics Department would like to thank you for your patience and cooperation throughout the construction process of the SEZ project of Jack Trice Stadium.
