The AHSTW Vikings boys basketball team had a turnaround season to remember. The Vikings turned a 10-11 record in 2015-16 into a season that ended Saturday night with a 21-3 record. The Vikings fell to the Van Meter Bulldogs 73-53 in the Class 2A Substate 7 Final on Saturday night at Atlantic High School.
Van Meter played a patient offensive game and got solid minutes from a lot of players in the win. The game was back and forth early until Van Meter took the lead by 3 at the end of the first quarter and would continue to build their lead the rest of the night. The Bulldogs were up 7 at the break but then used a 28-10 third quarter to put the game out of reach for the Vikings. Four players finished in double figures for Van Meter: Mitchell Pomeroy led with 16, Jack Trudo with 13, Ryan Schmitt 12, and Grant Johnson 10. Schmitt and Johnson were two 6-8 post players that the Vikings had some trouble keeping off the glass as well, Schmitt finished with 10 boards.
AHSTW was led in the loss by RJ Harris with 18 points. Preslyn Grobe dropped in 14 and Rhett welsh had 10 in the final game for the two Seniors.
Van Meter will now head to the 2A State Tournament with a 23-1 record.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – Freshman Jordan Bohannon scored a career-high 24 points, hitting 8 of 10 3-pointers to help Iowa breeze past fading No. 24 Maryland 83-69 Saturday night.
Tyler Cook had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Hawkeyes (16-13, 8-8 Big Ten), who improved to 2-7 on the road this season. Iowa led by seven at halftime and erased any shred of suspense by taking a 16-point lead with 10:28 remaining.
The Hawkeyes went 16 for 26 beyond the arc in avenging a home loss to Maryland on Jan. 19.
Bohannon came in averaging 9.2 points per game and shooting 37 percent from 3-point range. Cook, who’s also a freshman, scored only eight points in the first meeting between the teams.
Kevin Huerter scored 13 points for Maryland (22-7, 10-6). Since opening 20-2, the Terrapins have lost five of seven and three in a row.
Eager to rebound from a home loss to Minnesota, the Terrapins came out flat against an Iowa team that had beaten only Rutgers on the road.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Ten Iowa Department for the Blind employees have been laid off to provide more money to a program that would focus on job training for teenagers. Des Moines television station KCCI reports that the layoffs occurred Thursday. Eight of those who lost their jobs worked in the library, helping the blind access books.
Department director Emily Wharton says new federal requirements mean the department must spend more of its budget on job training. Wharton says the agency is required to spend 15 percent of the money it gets on services for teenagers and young adults to help them become employed and successful. Books, she said, can be accessed through audio and digital Braille.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Deonte Burton scored 22 points, including a crucial 3 with 1:17 left, and Iowa State beat No. 9 Baylor 72-69 on Saturday for its fifth straight win. Monte Morris had 17 points with seven assists for the Cyclones (19-9, 11-5 Big 12), who have their longest winning streak in league play since a seven-game stretch in 2005.
It was a back-and-forth matchup for over 30 minutes, with nine lead changes and 13 ties. But consecutive 3s from Donovan Jackson and Morris gave Iowa State a 56-51 lead with 6:50 left. Johnathan Motley made it 62-61 on a dunk with 1:48 to go. But with the shot clock about to expire, Burton banked in a 3 from the top of the key.
Baylor, which followed with a turnover forced by Iowa State pressure, eventually pulled within 71-69 with 4.3 seconds left before King McLure’s contested 3 at the buzzer failed to find the rim. Motley had 27 points and 11 rebounds for Baylor (23-6, 10-6).

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Donte Thomas scored 22 points to match his career high and grabbed 12 rebounds as Bradley completed its regular season with an 82-74 win over Drake and clinched the No. 6 seed into the Missouri Valley Conference tournament Saturday afternoon.
The victory, coupled with Missouri State’s loss to Wichita State, left the Braves and tied in the conference standing. Bradley’s better RPI ranking earned it the tie-breaking edge to claim the higher seed.
Bradley (12-19, 7-11) never trailed in the game, but Drake tied the game twice in the first half and again at 48-48 with 11:01 left to play in the game, but the Braves always answered.

Graham Woodward put up a season-high 22 points for Drake (7-23, 5-13). De’Antae McMurray added 15 points.

McIntosh hit 7 of 9 shots and Lee had eight rebounds and four assists.
