Madsen is also “A silent hero by donating food to businesses for children and the elderly.” It was also noted that he paid expenses for the less fortunate, or for those in a time of need.

Midwest Sports Headlines: 1/13/2019

Sports

January 13th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Luka Garza scored 16 points, Tyler Cook had 15 points with eight rebounds and Iowa rolled past No. 16 Ohio State 72-62. This was the Buckeyes’ third straight loss. Ryan Kriener scored 11 points for the Hawkeyes, who have won three straight after a 0-3 start to league play.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Barry Brown hit a layup with four seconds left and Kansas State stunned No. 20 Iowa State 58-57, handing the Cyclones their second straight loss. Brown had 23 points to lead the Wildcats. Iowa State closed the game on a 10-2 run for its first road win of the year.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs romped to a 31-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, and now turn their attention toward their first AFC title game in 25 years. They will face the winner of Sunday’s game between the Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots next weekend at Arrowhead Stadium. It will be the first AFC title game Kansas City has ever hosted.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes made good on the tremendous expectations placed on him, leading the Kansas City Chiefs past Indianapolis in the divisional round of the playoffs. The first-year starter was solid through the air, scored a touchdown on the ground and proved unflappable in a 31-13 victory that sent Kansas City to the AFC title game.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs coach Andy Reid was summoned to the corner of Arrowhead Stadium during the playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts to get fans to stop throwing snowballs on the field. Reid’s intervention didn’t do much good, either. Patrick Mahomes scampered in moments later to give the Colts a 24-7 lead, and snowballs fell like confetti from the upper deck.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Lagerald Vick scored 18 points with six 3-pointers on his 22nd birthday and No. 7 Kansas held on for a 73-68 win at Baylor. Vick hit two of his 3s in an 11-3 run in the final 1:44 of the first half for the Jayhawks to put them up by 10. Kansas then held a double-digit lead for most of the second half until the Bears had eight consecutive points in the final minute.

Iowa early News Headlines: Sunday, Jan. 13th, 2019

News

January 13th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 4:52 a.m. CST

FORT DODGE, Iowa — Fatalities were reported following a collision between two SUV’s southeast of Fort Dodge, Saturday evening. The Iowa State Patrol says a 2003 Jeep Liberty was southbound on Webster County road P-59 just north of Highway 20, when, due to icy road conditions, the vehicle crossed the center line and collided with a northbound 2006 Nissan Murano. The accident happened at around 5: 10-p.m.  The Patrol did not release the number of victims or their names, pending notification of relatives. The Webster County Sheriff’s Office, Otho and Ft. Dodge Fire and Rescue assisted at the scene.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Snow fell on parts of Iowa, Saturday, snarling traffic as the snow blanketed roads. The southbound lanes of Interstate 35 near Clear Lake were blocked midmorning Saturday after a semitrailer jackknifed and tipped over amid the winter storm around 2:30 a.m. The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that a passenger bus then hit the overturned semi, leading to minor injuries for one bus passenger.

CLIVE, Iowa (AP) — A central Iowa man has won $300,000 in a state scratch lottery game. Jonathan Moss claimed the first of eight top prizes in the Iowa Lottery’s “$300,000 Platinum Cash” scratch game that debuted last month. . Moss bought the winning ticket at Hy-Vee gas station in Altoona and claimed his prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Clive.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Police in Des Moines say they’ve arrested a suspect in the death of a man at a homeless camp on the city’s north side. Police said in a news release Friday that 21-year-old Donterius Jamar Bomar, of Des Moines, was arrested Tuesday afternoon on suspicion of assaulting a business employee and stealing the employee’s car within hours of being released from jail on a separate attempted murder charge. Police believe Bomar was driving the stolen car when he hit 69-year-old Charles Michael Childs.

Chiefs roll past Colts 31-13 to reach AFC title game; Reid not happy w/snowballs

Sports

January 12th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes picked apart the Colts in his postseason debut, the Chiefs defense answered their chorus of critics with a stout performance, and Kansas City rolled to a 31-13 victory over Indianapolis in the divisional round Saturday to end 25 years of playoff frustration.
Mahomes threw for 278 yards while running for a touchdown, and Damien Williams ran for 129 yards and another score, as the Chiefs beat Indianapolis for the first time in five playoff meetings to earn their first AFC title game appearance since January 1994.

The AFC West champions will play the winner of Sunday’s game between the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers and the New England Patriots next weekend for a spot in the Super Bowl in Atlanta. Andrew Luck was held to 203 yards passing for the Colts, while Marlon Mack was a non-factor on the ground. He had 46 yards rushing before leaving late in the fourth quarter with a hip injury.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid was summoned to the corner of Arrowhead Stadium during Saturday’s game, to get fans to stop throwing snowballs on the field. Reid wasn’t happy about it, either. The officials called him over from the Kansas City sideline during the two-minute warning in the first half, and Reid shouted and gestured at the fans in the lower deck — though the snowballs were mostly raining down from the upper deck, far above the field.

Earlier in the half, one almost hit Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez during a kick. Reid’s intervention didn’t do much good, either. Patrick Mahomes scampered in moments later to give the Colts a 24-7 lead, and snowballs fell like confetti from the upper deck.

January 12th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Sug Sutton had 24 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists and Joyner Holmes had a big block as No. 11 Texas survived two missed shots in the closing seconds to edge No. 20 Iowa State 64-62 on Saturday. The Longhorns (14-2, 4-0 Big 12), who have won seven straight, used a 15-0 run in the third quarter to build a double-figure lead. The Cyclones rallied from 10 down in the fourth and had a chance to tie or win it at the end.

Iowa State made it a two-point game with 44 seconds left forced Texas into a shot-clock violation with 13.3 seconds to play. After a couple of timeouts, Holmes blocked a layup attempt by Alexa Middleton with five seconds to go. The Cyclones got the rebound but Bridget Carleton’s 15-footer was off the mark as time ran out.

Carleton led Iowa State (13-3, 3-1) with 20 points and Kristin Scott had 15, and both had nine rebounds. Texas shot 51 percent but had 17 turnovers. Iowa State shot just 34 percent with eight turnovers.
