An all-ACC night: Virginia, Syracuse win in Midwest…North Carolina, Notre Dame survive in East….
CHICAGO (AP) — Virginia is going to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1995. Anthony Gill had 23 points and eight rebounds, leading the top-seeded Cavaliers to an 84-71 victory over No. 4 Iowa State in the Midwest regional semifinals. Mike Tobey added 18 points and seven boards.
CHICAGO (AP) — No. 11 seed Syracuse scored the final nine points of the game in beating 10th seed Gonzaga 63-60 to reach Sunday’s Midwest regional final behind 20 points from Michael Gbinije. On Sunday, the Orange will be trying to avenge a 73-65 loss to Virginia in Charlottesville in January
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Top seed North Carolina dismissed fifth seed Indiana 101-86 in a matchup of college basketball blue bloods in the East regional semifinal. Marcus Paige canned six 3-pointers and led the Tar Heels with 21 points. Brice Johnson added 20.
PHILADELPHIA (AP)— Also in the East regional, sixth seed Notre Dame made three key steals in the final 13 seconds to stun Wisconsin 61-56. Demetrius Jackson made two of those steals and finished with 16 points and six assists.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — World No. 1 Jordan Spieth and Jason Day are into the round of 16 at the Dell Match Play championship. But Phil Mickelson is leaving early after Patrick Reed eliminated Lefty, 5 and 4.
Virginia is going to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1995. Anthony Gill had 23 points and eight rebounds, leading the top-seeded Cavaliers to an 84-71 victory over No. 4 Iowa State in the Midwest Regional semifinals. Mike Tobey added 18 points and seven boards. Next up for the Cavaliers is the winner of Gonzaga-Syracuse on Sunday. Virginia hasn’t made it to the Final Four since 1984.
That also makes three No. 1 seeds in the round of eight with the Cavaliers joining Kansas and Oregon. North Carolina will try to make it four for four against Indiana later.
VIERA, Fla. (AP) — Max Scherzer outpitched Adam Wainwright in a matchup worthy of opening day, and the Washington Nationals defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 8-2 Thursday. Scherzer struck out nine and walked three in five innings, allowing two runs — both unearned — and three hits. Wainwright gave up four runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings, struck out four and walked one.
Michael A. Taylor hit a two-run double and a two-run homer for the Nationals. Anthony Rendon drove in two runs with his third double in two days. Scherzer struck out eight of the Cardinals he faced, failing to fan Tommy Pham but getting Jedd Gyorko twice. Wainwright was relieved by Nick Maness, who gave up two doubles, Taylor’s homer and a single among his first four batters.
Nodaway Valley Senior Jackson Lamb held a signing event at Nodaway Valley High School in Greenfield on Wednesday. Lamb signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at Briar Cliff University in Sioux City. He’ll join a strong Chargers team that finished with a 32-4 record last season.
Lamb finished his career with the Wolverines as the all-time leader in points with 1,838, points per game – 18.95, field goals made- 622, three-pointers made -234, free-throws made -360, and steals -249. He also owns many of the Wolverines’ single season record.
Lamb joins a few other southwest Iowa alum on the Chargers roster. Jay Wolfe from Creston and Ricky Williams from Riverside are currently on the team.
JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton’s first home run of the spring wasn’t enough to help Miami overcome a dazzling pitching performance by Carlos Martinez for the St. Louis Cardinals in a 4-1 win Wednesday. An All-Star last season, Martinez threw five shutout innings, giving up two hits and striking out five.
Stanton tied it at 1 in the seventh when he hit a 3-0 fastball from Trevor Rosenthal over the center field wall. Brandon Moss doubled home two runs in the bottom half of the inning. The Cardinals had been 0-6-2 in their last eight games.
The Harlan Track and Field teams competed Tuesday at the Bob Prince Early Bird Invite at USD in Vermillion, South Dakota.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs star pass rusher Justin Houston could miss much or all of next season after having surgery to repair an ACL in his knee.
The Chiefs said Tuesday that the ligament was not fully torn, but after a meeting with orthopedist Dr. James Andrews, the consensus was surgery was the best option for his long-term health.
The best-case scenario is a mid-August return, though it’s possible Houston could miss the entire season. The Chiefs didn’t specify which knee.
Houston hurt a knee last season, but at the time it was diagnosed a hyper-extension. He played with a brace in a playoff win over Houston and the Chiefs’ season-ending playoff loss to New England.
