Sports

June 14th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — Nick Nurse is an NBA champion. The Carroll native led the Toronto Raptors to a 114-110 win over Golden State in game six of the NBA Finals. It was last summer Nurse was named head coach for a team known more for coming up short in the playoffs.

It has been a long road for Nurse who began coaching in the pros in England and he also made two different stops in the G-League.

The Raptors won the series by winning three straight games in Oakland.

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

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Pat Bowlen, the Denver Broncos owner who transformed the team from also-rans into NFL champions and helped the league usher in billion-dollar TV deals, has died. He was 75. In a statement on the team’s website, Bowlen’s family says he died late Thursday night at home surrounded by loved ones. The statement did not specify a cause of death. Bowlen had battled Alzheimer’s for several years. Bowlen, elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, was the first owner in NFL history to have his team win 300 games — including playoffs — in three decades. He had as many Super Bowl appearances (seven) as losing seasons, and the Broncos had a 354-240-1 record since he bought the team in 1984. Under his stewardship, the Broncos won Super Bowls in 1998, ’99 and 2016.

NEW YORK (AP) — The game between the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets was suspended because of rain, moments after Harrison Bader hit an RBI double with two outs in the top of the ninth inning that made it 4-all. Play will resume Friday beginning in the bottom of the ninth. That will be followed by the regularly scheduled game between the teams.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nicky Lopez hit his first major league homer in the stadium where he played college ball, Homer Bailey allowed two hits in six shutout innings and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 7-3 in the first big league regular season game played in Nebraska. The Royals won two of three over the Tigers for their first series win since April 12-14 against Cleveland. The game at TD Ameritrade Park coincided with the buildup to the College World Series, which begins Saturday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs signed kicker Harrison Butker to a five-year contract extension, locking up the former Panthers practice squad player through the 2024 season.

UNDATED (AP) — Florida State’s Mike Martin improbably has one last chance to capture a College World Series title that has eluded college baseball’s winningest coach during his 40-year career. Martin is retiring at the end of the season. The 75-year-old’s final team earned one of the last four at-large bids into the NCAA Tournament and is on a six-game winning streak.

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:40 a.m. CDT

KELLOGG, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in central Iowa say a Jasper County man has died after being trapped in a grain bin. Des Moines television station KCCI reports that the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office and other first responders were alerted to a man trapped in the bin near Kellogg just after 8 a.m. Thursday. First responders found 78-year-old Bill Hotger, of rural Kellogg, inside the bin. Once Hotger was freed, he was flown by helicopter to a Des Moines hospital, where he died.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — A fifth suspect in the shooting death of a man during a 2017 robbery has pleaded not guilty to charges in the case. The Quad-City Times reported Thursday that 35-year-old Christopher Dixon entered the written plea to first-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit a forcible felony in the Sept. 22, 2017, shooting that killed 20-year-old Brady Tumlinson and injured Tumlinson’s girlfriend.

MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (AP) — The adoptive grandmother of a central Iowa teenager who starved to death faces new charges of trying to escape prison. Station KCCI reports that 64-year-old Carla Bousman was in court Thursday morning to face a charge of escape. The Iowa Department of Corrections says Bousman walked away from the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women in Mitchellville in early May and was caught about half-a-mile away. She’s serving a 20-year sentence for her role in 16-year-old Sabrina Ray’s 2017 death.

DURANT, Iowa (AP) — The sheriff of an eastern Iowa county has declared that his jail will no longer book suspects arrested in one town because he doesn’t trust the officers who work there. Cedar County Sheriff Warren Wethington issued the directive last month, which applies to anyone arrested by the Durant Police Department. Wethington says one of Durant’s three officers has a history of being untruthful and using questionable force and the chief knows this but hired him anyway.
