AJ Green dropped in 30 points and Noah Carter scored 20 as UNI dropped their Missouri Valley Conference opener. Bradley never trailed following a 10-0 run in the first half that broke a tie game open.
UNI falls to 2-4 on the season. They will now prep for a home meeting with Richmond on Sunday at 1;00 p.m.
(Radio Iowa) – Hundreds of pedestrians celebrated completion of the new Interstate-74 bridge over the Mississippi River by walking across the span yesterday (Wednesday). Every mayor in the region was there for the event, including Bettendorf Mayor Bob Gallagher.
Construction on the six-lane bridge began in 2017. West bound lanes opened a year ago. The east bound lanes are scheduled to open next week. The bridge project includes a highway between Bettendorf and Moline and cost more than one-point-two billion dollars. East Moline Mayor Reggie Freeman says the old, green I-74 bridge was built in 1935 for horses, carts and pedestrians.
Illinois Governor J-B Pritzker says the I-74 bridge is one of the country’s primary Mississippi River crossings.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds wasn’t able to attend the ceremony and sent a written statement to mark the occasion.

(Radio Iowa) – Iowans who made a donation to charity on Giving Tuesday in order to get a tax deduction are fortunate this year as far as their federal returns. I-R-S spokesman Christopher Miller says changes to tax laws mean you can still file a simple return and deduct at least some of those donations. Miller says, “It certainly opens up avenues for taxpayers who still want to make a donation and take a deduction for those donations but find it more advantageous to take the standard deduction.” That means you can deduct 300 dollars in donations on the standard 10-40 or 10-40 E-Z form without filing more paperwork.
“You’re still able to take that standard deduction,” Miller says, “and give to a qualified charitable organization and take a deduction on your tax return this year.” If you’re still looking to make a donation before year’s end, make sure you’re giving to a legitimate group. Miller says it’s vital to use a credit card or a check when donating and to get a receipt. “Don’t fall for or be pressured into donating by a gift card, like an iTunes gift card or a wire transfer,” Miller says. “That should be a big red flag to people that the charity is not for real.”
Also, he says to make sure the charity you’re singling out qualifies for donations under federal tax laws. Find a list of qualifying charities at irs.gov.
Carlisle, Iowa (KCCI) — Disturbing video shows a fight between players at Tuesday night’s Carlisle-Nevada basketball game. One student is charged with willful injury after allegedly knocking out an opposing team player. The video, which has gone viral, shows the Carlisle-Nevada basketball game was over, and the players were in the post-game handshake line when the trouble began. Instead of shaking hands, it appears Carlisle player No. 4 throws some surprise punches at a Nevada player wearing jersey No. 5. The first punch was to the stomach. The second punch was to the jaw. The Nevada player appears to be knocked out as he fell to the floor. Several more students joined in the fight.
A police report confirms Carlisle player Carter Prenosil was arrested. He’s charged with willful injury. Court documents allege he threw an “unwarranted punch” at Nevada player Ty Dittmer’s abdomen and face. In a statement to KCCI, Carlisle Superintendent Bryce Amos said: “This is without question an unfortunate incident that is not representative of the school culture that exists in Carlisle Community School District. I want to make it clear that this type of conduct is not tolerated at Carlisle CSD”
Nevada Superintendent Dr. Steve Gray said, “It was a very unfortunate and disturbing situation. Fortunately, it sounds like our student-athlete is going to be alright. I’m very appreciative of the response of our coaches and players, as well as the Carlisle administration, for quickly de-escalating the situation.”
Some students told KCCI the two players traded insults during the game which may have led to the fight. The Carlisle School District, the Iowa High School Athletic and Carlisle police are investigating.
