Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State coach Matt Campbell and the Cyclones have agreed to a new six-year deal worth $22.5 million, increasing Campbell’s annual compensation from $2.1 million to $3.5 million per season. Campbell, who led Iowa State to a 7-5 record and its first winning season in Big 12 play in 15 years, was expected to be among the top names in the offseason coaching carousel. Iowa State beat a pair of top-5 teams this season.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs started the season 5-0 with the look of a Super Bowl contender. They have lost five of their past six games and seen much of their AFC West lead evaporate. But trying to figure out exactly where everything has gone wrong has been tough for the Chiefs, partly because there are so many problems in so many places.
UNDATED (AP) — The Missouri Valley Conference was supposed to be devastated by the loss of Wichita State. So far, the league has shown it might have been vastly underrated for 2017-18. League teams are 46-16, the best combined start for the Valley since 1962-63. Loyola at Chicago and newcomer Valparaiso are 7-0.
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State freshman Skylar Thompson led the Wildcats to dramatic wins over Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Iowa State. Now, after helping them get bowl-eligible, the young QB has the chance to start three more years and bring some stability to the game’s most important position for Kansas State.
MISSOURI VALLEY, Iowa (AP) — An official and relatives have identified two people whose bodies were found in a fire-damaged building in western Iowa. The bodies were found Thursday after firefighters extinguished a fire in a business in downtown Missouri Valley. The building also contained an apartment.
On Monday, relatives told the Daily Nonpareil newspaper the bodies were 44-year-old Stacy Larsen and 44-year-old Chad Stevens. John Kraemer, director of forensic operations with the Iowa Medical Examiner’s Office, confirmed their identities.
Kraemer says they died from smoke inhalation and injuries from the fire. The fire was reported around 7:45 a.m. Thursday at CTI Electronics. Missouri Valley police say the fire’s cause hasn’t been determined and there was “no information to indicate anything suspicious or that foul play was involved.”

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Alec Baldwin is rallying Iowa Democrats with a mixture of his Donald Trump impression and advice of a serious, party activist headlining a party fundraiser in Des Moines. The actor, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of Trump on “Saturday Night Live”, is entertaining 2,000 party faithful, first posing as a professor of the defunct Trump University, offering courses such as “political science fiction.”
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Advocacy groups have filed a federal lawsuit alleging officials at an Iowa school for juvenile offenders are failing to provide adequate mental health care. The lawsuit was filed Monday in Des Moines by Disability Rights Iowa and the national watchdog organization Children’s Rights. The groups allege that officials at the Boys State Training School administer “dangerous” psychotropic medications without adequate oversight and consent.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s Medicaid program will provide some patients with coverage under an old state-run system rather than the current privatized setup involving insurance companies. The Des Moines Register reported Monday the Iowa Department of Human Services will resume direct oversight of benefits for roughly 10,000 Medicaid members who tried to switch coverage to the private insurance company Amerigroup. Amerigroup said recently it wasn’t adding new patients.
The CAM girls opened up the season with a home win over the AHSTW Lady Vikes 46-27 on Monday night. It wasn’t a pretty game as the two teams combined for 39 turnovers and struggled to make shots. Defense was a bright spot for both teams at times and the Cougars zone really kept the Lady Vikes out of sync in the first half.
CAM was led by Madison Gettler who finished with 18 points on the night, 14 of those coming in the first half. The Cougars led 13-3 after the first quarter and 22-9 at halftime. The Lady Vikes still couldn’t get the offense going in the third quarter and CAM extended the lead to 30-11 to give them a fairly comfortable lead the rest of the way. Paige McAfee added 10 points and Macy Ticknor had 8 for CAM.
AHSTW was led by 9 points from Sarah Butcher who dropped in 3 threes in the fourth quarter. Kinsey Scheffler had 8 points on the night. The Lady Vikes travel to Treynor on Tuesday night to open Western Iowa Conference play.
CAM hosts Paton-Churdan in Rolling Valley Conference play on Friday.
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University announced today that football coach Matt Campbell has agreed to a new six-year contract worth $22.5 million. Campbell’s guaranteed annual salary will increase from $2.1 million to $3.5 million effective immediately. The athletics department has also agreed to provide Campbell an additional $1 million for incremental raises for his staff.
Campbell’s 2017 team was 7-5 overall and 5-4 in Big 12 play, matching the school record for conference wins in a season. The Cyclones’ fourth-place tie in the league was their best as a member of the Big 12. Iowa State defeated both Oklahoma (then third-ranked) and TCU (ranked fourth at the time) this year. ISU had one win over a top five school in its history prior to 2017. ISU is bowl-eligible for the first time since 2012 and will learn its destination this week.
Campbell will hold a news conference Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in the Bergstrom Football Complex.
