An adult male and a teenager were injured during a pursuit that ended in a crash Saturday night, in north central Iowa’s Hamilton County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a Trooper was attempting to stop a 2013 VW at around 10:45-p.m., when the driver, 18-year old Khalil Justin Crawley, of Waterloo, attempted to flee.

The vehicle took off at a high rate of speed. When Crawley lost control of the car, it entered a ditch and rolled several times. An unidentified 16-year-old from Waterloo – whose name was withheld – was flown by Mercy 1 Aircare helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. The teen was not wearing a seat belt. Crawley – who was buckled-up – was transported by Ellsworth Ambulance to Mary Greeley Hospital, in Ames.

The accident, which occurred near County Roads R-77 and D-41, remains under investigation. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by Hamilton County Deputies, Jewell and Ellsworth Police and Ambulance.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Ashley Joens scored 14 of her 27 points in the fourth quarter and Iowa State beat No. 6 Baylor 75-71. That ended ended the Lady Bears’ 61-game home court winning streak. Baylor played for the first time in two weeks because of a pause in the program after coach Kim Mulkey tested positive for COVID-19.

The Lady Bears overcame an early 13-point deficit, but couldn’t avoid a second consecutive streak-snapping loss to the Cyclones. Iowa State’s 57-56 home win in the final game last season ended the Lady Bears’ 58-game conference winning streak.

Powerball jackpot grows to $730M; Mega Millions to be $850M

News

January 17th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Powerball jackpot will grow to an estimated $730 million after there were no winners Saturday for the lottery’s top prize. The numbers drawn in Saturday evening’s drawing of the “Powerball” game were: 14-20-39-65-67, Powerball: 2, Power Play: 3

The results come as there was also no winner of the Mega Millions jackpot on Friday. That top prize is now estimated at $850 million. It’s been nearly two years since a lottery jackpot has grown so large.

The Powerball’s $730 million top prize would be the fifth-largest ever if a lottery player strikes big in Wednesday’s drawing. The Mega Millions’ $850 million jackpot would be the third-largest ever for the drawing on Tuesday.

Cardinals avoid arbitration with three players

Sports

January 16th, 2021 by admin

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – January 15, 2021 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have reached agreements on one-year contracts for the upcoming 2021 season with outfielder Harrison Bader and pitchers Jordan Hicks and Alex Reyes, avoiding salary arbitration.  Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed.

The team will exchange salary arbitration figures with pitcher Jack Flaherty following today’s 12 noon CST deadline.

Bader, 26, batted .226 with 4 HR & 11 RBI in 50 games in 2020, including a .360 mark vs. left-handed pitchers.  The right-handed hitting outfielder is considered among the game’s top defensive centerfielders.

Hicks, 24, opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID health concerns, as he continued his recovery from Tommy John surgery.  The fire-balling reliever has recorded 20 career saves, including 14 prior to his elbow injury in 2019.

Reyes, 26, appeared in single-season high 15 games for the Cardinals in 2020, striking out 27 batters in 19.2 innings pitched, and he gained a save in the team’s Game 1 playoff win at San Diego with 3.1 innings of work to close out the 7-4 victory
