CHICAGO (AP) — Milton Doyle scored 13 points and Montel James made a crucial 3-point play in the final seconds as Loyola of Chicago upended Northern Iowa 59-56 on Wednesday night.

Northern Iowa’s Paul Jesperson drained three 3-pointers early in the second half to put the Panthers on top 38-31. The Ramblers fought back and James converted a 3-point play for a 55-54 lead with 44 seconds remaining.

Earl Peterson made two free throws with six second left for a three-point lead. Loyola elected to foul and Northern Iowa missed both free throws but the ball went out of bounds off of the Ramblers. UNI missed a shot at the buzzer.

Donte Ingram added 10 points for the Ramblers (13-14, 6-9 Missouri Valley Conference). James, Peterson and Devon Turk had nine points each.

Jesperson finished with 16 points for the Panthers (16-12, 8-7), who had a six-game winning streak snapped.

1 injured in Page County accident Wed. morning

News

February 17th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The Page County Sheriff’s Office says one person was transported to the hospital following an accident this (Wednesday) morning. The crash took place at around 8:05-a.m. at 170th Street and E Avenue, or about two miles south and east of Essex.

Essex Fire and Rescue was called to the scene and extricated 33-year old Susan Elizabeth Moore, of Villisca, from the 2012 Chevy Malibu she was driving. Moore was   then transported to Shenandoah Memorial Hospital by Essex Rescue for treatment of  undisclosed injuries. The driver of the other vehicle, 50-year old Melissia May Long, of rural Shenandoah, and her passenger, were checked for injuries but were found to be okay.

An investigation into the accident determined Long was driving a 2007 Jeep Liberty north on E Avenue from the stop sign, crossing 170th. Long said that she didn’t see the 2012 Chevy Malibu that Moore was operating westbound on 170th east of the intersection with E Avenue. Moore saw the Long vehicle start from the stop sign and continue into the intersection. She started to brake, but Long’s SUV hit the car on the driver’s side front door. The collision caused Moore’s car to spin counter clockwise into the north ditch, where it hit and destroyed a county road sign post. The car came to rest in the north ditch, west of the intersection. Long’s SUV also spun counter clockwise and came to rest in the eastbound lane of 170th just west of the intersection.

Deputies cited Long for Failure to have insurance and Failure to yield upon entering through Highway.
