BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) – Taryn Christion passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, and South Dakota State continued to pile up the points with a 51-10 victory over Drake on Saturday night. The Jackrabbits (3-0) have scored in all 12 quarters this season, averaging over 43 points per game.

Christion was 14-of-22 passing, throwing touchdown passes to Dallas Goedert and Jake Wieneke and running 10 yards for another score during a first half in which the Jackrabbits scored on their first five possessions then tacked on Cade Johnson’s 95-yard kickoff return for a 41-3 lead. It was the Jackrabbits’ first kick return for a touchdown since Oct. 13, 2012.

Isaac Wallace ran for pair of 1-yard scores and Mikey Daniel had an 11-yarder. Sophomore Chase Vinatieri added a 51-yard field goal. It was a career long for the nephew of Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri. The lone touchdown for the Bulldogs (1-2) came on Grant Kraemer’s 62-yard touchdown throw to Steven Doran.

Iowa overwhelms North Texas 31-14, off to a 3-0 season start

Sports

September 16th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Nate Stanley threw for 197 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Iowa overwhelmed North Texas 31-14 on Saturday to finish the non-conference season unbeaten. Freshman Ivory Kelly-Martin added 74 yards rushing and two TDs for the Hawkeyes (3-0), who played most of the second half without running backs Akrum Wadley and James Butler.

Iowa pulled ahead 17-14 on a 23-yard TD pass from Stanley to Noah Fant — on fourth down and 5 — late in the third quarter. Kelly-Martin added a 2-yard touchdown, the first of his career, with 8:16 left to cap a drive that covered 87 yards and burned nearly nine minutes. Kelly-Martin also scored a 6-yard TD run with 1:47 to go.

But the Hawkeyes will be left to hope that Wadley (right leg) and Butler (right elbow) won’t miss extended time. Wadley and Butler, a Nevada transfer, entered 2017 as the only duo in the country to each rush for over 1,000 yards last season.

Mason Fine threw for 167 yards for North Texas (1-2), which dropped its second straight.

Albert Almora Jr. had three hits and two RBIs for the Cubs. Russell was activated before the game after being sidelined since early August with plantar fasciitis of the right foot. He pinch hit in the eighth and hit a solo shot against Tyler Lyons to the back of the left-field bleachers.

Hendricks (7-5) allowed one run and six hits in a season-high 7 2/3 innings. He struck out five and walked one.

NE man arrested for Willful Injury in Saturday afternoon Bluffs road rage incident

News

September 16th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

Police in Council Bluffs, Saturday afternoon arrested a man from Nebraska following an investigation into a road rage incident that escalated into a car-verses-pedestrian accident. Officers were called to 1801 Valley View Drive at around 12:37-p.m. After an initial investigation, it was determined that 27-year old Randall Maresch, of Bellevue, NE.,  and 41-year old Anthony Kimball, of Crescent, were involved in a road rage incident which continued into the Family Fare parking lot.

Kimball exited his vehicle in an effort to confront Maresch. Maresch then accelerated his 2005 Chevy Malibu towards Kimball striking him and causing him to roll across the hood of the vehicle before falling to the ground. Kimball was transported to the UNMC in Omaha, where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Maresch was located inside the store and was cooperative with officers. Maresch
was transported to Pottawattamie County Corrections where he was charged with Willful Injury.

Des Moines airport expansion may be delayed by years

News

September 16th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Nearly a year after Des Moines Airport Authority’s board adopted a $500 million plan to expand the airport’s terminal, officials now say funding problems may delay the project for years. The Des Moines Register reports that a consulting firm told the board earlier this week that construction on the terminal may not start until 2026 because of federal delays on funding airport upgrades. The board had planned to start construction on the 14-gate terminal in 2022.

About $300 million in funding was identified last year for the project, coming from cash on hand, passenger and airline fees, authority-issued bonds and grant money. But that left a funding hole of about $200 million. Since then, officials say, rising construction costs have pushed that deficit up by another $25 million.
