A 16-year old from Creston was flown by air ambulance to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, and three others juveniles were injured, following a collision at an uncontrolled gravel road intersection, Thursday night. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2004 Nissan Xterra (SUV) driven by a 16-year old was traveling westbound on 190th at around 8:23-p.m., at the same time a 1998 Toyota 4 Runner driven by a 17-year old, was traveling northbound on Jaguar Road.
After the 4 Runner struck the driver’s side of the Nissan, the Nissan rolled onto its passenger side and was thrown into a utility pole at the northwest corner of the intersection. When it hit the utility pole, a live power line fell onto the SUV, and the Toyota came to rest in a ditch.
No names were released because the teens are juveniles.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s auditor says the state budget is in good shape with surpluses but that beneficial federal tax policies will end in a few years, potentially causing problems. In his annual review of the state budget, Auditor Rob Sand said Thursday that federal tax changes made in 2017 gave Iowa’s budget a $188 million windfall for the 2019 fiscal year that ended June 30. He says the federal windfall accounts for about two-thirds of the estimated surplus for the current fiscal year.

Two of Garza’s first shots were blocked by North Florida forward Wajid Aminu, who is four inches shorter than the 6-foot-11 Garza.

UNDATED (AP) — Chris Klieman gets an extra game in his first season at Kansas State. There are two more first-year Big 12 coaches that can also still get into bowls. But Texas Tech and West Virginia will both have to win their last two games to get the six wins needed for bowl eligibility. It has been 10 years since the Big 12 didn’t send a bowl-eligible team to a postseason game.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been dealing with a sore ankle and knee injury for most of this season. It hasn’t affected his production too much, and the Chiefs are 7-4 and in control of the AFC West heading into their bye week. It’s a much-needed break for Mahomes, who is hoping to get healthy for the stretch run.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — John Sherman has been approved as the new controlling owner of the Kansas City Royals, and his group plans to close its deal to purchase the team from David Glass and his family next week. Major League Baseball owners voted unanimously to approve the deal. The proposed sale was announced Aug. 30 and was expected to be worth about $1 billion. Sherman and his local co-investors will become only the third owners since Ewing Kauffman founded the club ahead of the 1969 season.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Dejan Vasiljevic had a career-high 25 points and Miami continued a perfect run at the Charleston Classic with a 74-70 victory over Missouri State. The Hurricanes are the event’s only two-time champions and improved to 8-0 here. Not that it was easy. Missouri State cut an 18-point second-half deficit to 72-70 with 1.8 seconds left.

UNDATED (AP) — Scott Frost received a two-year contract extension that will keep him at Nebraska through 2026. Frost is now 8-14 in Lincoln. For comparison’s sake, Willie Taggart, who was named Florida State’s coach three days after Frost was hired at Nebraska, went 9-12 in Tallahassee before getting fired. Despite the slow start, Frost has the support of his administration and players. That support is a trend in the Big Ten West, as all of the division’s coaches are under lengthy contracts.
