CHADRON, Neb. – Redshirt freshman Jackson Schauer hit eight three-pointers, Jadon Cool scored 17 second-half points and Chadron State rallied from as many as 21 points down to stun MSU Denver 84-77 at home in the Chicoine Center. 

Chadron State is now 6-17 overall and 4-11 in the RMAC after the Eagles outscored the Roadrunners 55-32 in the second half. MSU Denver dropped to 7-16 and 5-10 in the RMAC after leading by 16 points at halftime.

Schauer finished with 26 points, nearly doubling his previous career high of 14. The South Dakota native hit four triples in each half and accounted for eight of CSC's 13 total makes by himself. 

Cool made 12 of 14 free-throw attempts, the last two with a bloody mouth after a hard foul with 3.8 seconds left, and finished with 22 points for his fifth 20-point game of the season.

Zach Smith tied a career-high with 37 minutes logged and made plays all night long, chipping in 10 points to go with game-high totals of five assists and four steals. Isaiah Randolph (12 points), Blessing Adesipe (10) and Smith gave the Eagles five double-figure scorers.

Two weeks after shooting 70 percent from the field in the second half of their most recent win, the Eagles again found another several gears out of the locker room. After halftime, Chadron State sunk 59.3 percent of its total attempts and 61.5 percent of three-pointers (8-13). Over the same stretch, the Roadrunners shot 30 percent from the field and 8.3 percent (1-12) from deep.

An inauspicious start set the stage for CSC's dramatic comeback. The Eagles trailed 13-2, 21-5 and 31-13 and shot only 28.6 percent in the first half while the Roadrunners made 9 of 16 threes. 

CSC's largest deficit of the night came with under three minutes to go in the first half, when the cherry on top of a 6-0 MSU Denver run made it 42-21, Roadrunners. The visitors led 45-29 at the break. 

Still, there were signs in the first half of what was to come. Schauer, who came off the bench, took his first three-point attempt with 6:57 remaining in the first half and missed. He would make his next four before the end of the half, providing both a spark and a healthy chunk of CSC's entire point total, then missed an off-balance heave at the buzzer.

In the second half, MSU Denver turned it over on its first two possessions, then missed seven of its first eight field goal attempts. CSC used those empty possessions to chip away – Smith and Adesipe tallied five points while Cool had four on a 17-4 run across the first six-and-a-half minutes. 

Then, Schauer took over. Every time the ball rippled through the net, the Eagles' momentum, player emotions and the volume from fans inside the Chicoine Center intensified, starting with murmurs and growing until it reverberated into an unstoppable tidal wave of energy. 

Schauer's first three of the second half cut the deficit to just two points at 51-49. His second three came a minute later, halting a mini 4-0 Roadrunner run. His third three gave the Eagles a 58-56 lead, their first of the game after Cool had tied it at 55 with a three of his own. 

His fourth three brought the lead up to five points at 63-58, and the perimeter opened up for other options. Cool hit a stepback three and Luka Djurovic blew by a defender for a layup, and suddenly, it was 70-59 Eagles, an incredible 41-14 scoring reversal since the start of the half. 

The game grew more physical after halftime as teams attacked the paint (a category in which MSU Denver did lead, 34-22). There were only 10 total free throws in the first half, all by the Eagles, but the two teams combined for 40 in the second half with the visitors taking 21. 

The Eagles were better from the line to maintain their cushion down the stretch, hitting 23 of 29 attempts (79.3 percent) while the Roadrunners made 13 of 21 (61.9 percent). Cool (12-for-14), Isaiah Randolph (4-for-5) and Smith (3-for-4) accounted for most of the free throw damage.

This is the only matchup between Chadron State and MSU Denver this season. The previous matchup was just as wild, with the Eagles coming back from an 11-point halftime deficit but losing 73-71 after a made halfcourt shot by Chadron State was ruled to be after the buzzer. 

The Eagles will try to corral their positive momentum into another key showdown against Colorado School of Mines this Saturday. The Orediggers (13-13, 9-6 RMAC) lost to Black Hills State on Thursday. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

​Chadron State—Jackson Schauer 26, Jadon Cool 22, Isaiah Randolph 12, Zach Smith 10, Blessing Adesipe 10, Luka Djurovic 3, Jovan Jovanovic 1. Totals: 24-55 FG (13-31 3PT) 23-29 FT. 84 points, 29 rebounds, 14 assists, 11 turnovers.

🔊2026 CSC Football Signing Class & Spring Team Update with Coach Jay Long

WAYNE, Neb. – Chayton Bynes vaulted to the top of the record books and the Division II leaderboard with a massive triple jump mark while Camila Salvucci, Ryan Clapper and Christopher Cormier also won events at the Wildcat Invite held in Wayne, Nebraska on Friday. 

Bynes jumped 16.01 meters, or 52 feet, 6.5 inches, more than seven feet ahead of any competitor at the Wayne meet. The mark sets a new indoor school record, surpassing the old record of 51-8.5 set by Isaac Grimes in 2019, and set a new facility record for Wayne State.

Even more impressively, Bynes’s leap is the longest jump by a Division II competitor this season, 0.07 meters and 2.75 inches farther than second-place Justin Forde of Washburn’s top mark. It easily sets an NCAA provisional qualifying standard and should punch Bynes’s ticket to the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. 

In winning the women’s triple jump event, Salvucci also set a Wayne State facility record and a new season best with her leap of 11.93 meters (39-1.75). Salvucci’s Friday mark is four inches shy of her career best of 12.03 (39-5.75) from last year’s Eagle Last Chance meet and is less than a foot off the school record of 40-0.25, set by Emily Volkmer in 2006.

Ryan Clapper had a big day in the sprints. The junior won the 200-meter dash in a season-best 21.86 seconds, which is the fifth-fastest time in the RMAC this season, and placed third in the 400 meters by running that in 48.60 seconds, the fourth-fastest time in the league this year.

Christopher Cormier edged out his teammate and the rest of the field by winning the event in 48.41, which is the third-fastest RMAC time of the season in that event. Cormier and Clapper’s 400-meter times are the third and fourth-fastest ever at Chadron State indoors.

Two more Eagles were runners-up in their events. Esosa Iyengunmwena placed second in the 60-meter dash in 6.94 seconds, while Shelby Ekwall threw 13.45 meters (44-1.5) to place second in the women’s shot put. Ekwall’s heave was 1.25 inches shy of her career best, which came two weeks ago at the same facility.

Caleb Christensen finished sixth in the men’s weight throw with a personal-best mark of 16.03 meters (52-7.25). Courtney Williams also tallied a personal best in the high jump, clearing 1.92 meters (6-3.5) to finish seventh in that event. 

Paige Kehmeier had a standout performance on the women’s side by placing fourth in the 15-runner women’s 400 with a season best of 1:00.96.

Three more Eagles placed sixth in various events – Casey Miller in the men’s shot put (14.70m/48-2.75), Eva Nitschke in the women’s 60-meter hurdles (9.36 seconds), and Augustin Chiang in the men’s 60 (7.09 seconds).

The Eagles will compete at the SDSU Indoor Classic in Brookings, South Dakota next Friday and Saturday.

🏀 UPDATE: Bulldogs Sweep - Western Trails Conference Basketball Tournament - Scores & Schedule

LAKEWOOD, Colo. – A second-half rally fell short as the Chadron State men's basketball team fell on the road to Colorado Christian 86-80 on Thursday night despite five Eagles scoring in double figures. 

CCU's Pierce Bazil exploded for 36 points on 11 of 16 shooting, including an 8 of 12 night from three-point range, while his brother Porter Bazil grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds to lift the Cougars (10-11, 5-8 RMAC) to their second win of the season over the Eagles (5-16, 3-10 RMAC).

The Eagles trailed by nine at the half, but after CCU scored a three-pointer for the first basket after halftime 15 seconds into the second period, the Cougars led by as many as 23 and were up by double digits until there was only 1:48 left to go. 

The Eagles hit shots down the stretch and cut the lead to as small as four in the final seconds, but Colorado Christian made its pressure free throws (9-for-10 in the final minute) to keep enough distance ahead.

Isaiah Randolph led a balanced CSC attack with 20 points, shooting 8-for-13 from the field. Zach Smith had a standout game, as CSC's only returning player from 2024-25 set NCAA career-highs in points (19), minutes (37), and steals (five) while tying a season-high with four assists. 

Three different Eagles finished with 11 points each – Mack Keighran, Blessing Adesipe and Jackson Schauer. Schauer and Smith each hit three three-pointers while Keighran, Adesipe and Ethan Russell sunk two apiece. 

Randolph and Adesipe shared the team lead with five rebounds while Randolph and Smith shared the team high with four assists. 

The Eagles shot 45.9 percent from the field and 46 percent from three but left some points available at the line with a 63.2 percentage (12-19). Colorado Christian shot 48 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from three. Both teams made 12 threes in the game, but the Eagles did so on 26 attempts while the Cougars took 32. 

Colorado Christian outrebounded Chadron State 34-23, including eight offensive rebounds. The Cougars also got to the line at a much higher clip, attempting 34 free throws and making 24. The Eagles did win the turnover battle, committing 10 turnovers but forcing 13 Cougar giveaways.

Chadron State heads to Pueblo this Saturday to face CSU Pueblo (14-7, 8-5 RMAC) at 1 p.m. at Massari Arena. The ThunderWolves defeated Black Hills State 71-53 in a statement victory on Thursday.

​Chadron State—Isaiah Randolph 20, Zach Smith 19, Blessing Adesipe 11, Mack Keighran 11, Jackson Schauer 11, Ethan Russell 6, Jadon Cool 2. Totals: 28-61 FG (12-26 3PT) 12-19 FT. 80 points, 23 rebounds, 13 assists, 10 turnovers.

CSC MBB: Eagles roar back but can't overcome big deficit in loss at CCU

By: Con Marshall CSC Sports Information

LAKEWOOD, Colo. – Chadron State College freshman Kenna Wagner scored her career-high 15 points and also had a team-high six rebounds and a game-high six steals, but the host Colorado Christian Cougars posted an 84-43 victory on their home court in Lakewood, Colorado on Thursday night.

The Cougars scored at least 20 points in each quarter, led 21-9 at the end of the opening frame, were ahead 44-23 at halftime and outscored the visitors 40-20 in the second half.

Chadron State came into the game shooting 35.7 percent from the field but hit just 28.1 percent (16-57) in this game. Colorado Christian made 54.1 percent (33-61) of its field goal attempts and also out-rebounded the Eagles 43-26.

Wagner, a 5-foot-5 native of Fort Collins, was 7-for-16 from the field and made 1 of 2 free throws. Dreanna Jackson, who was the only player on either team to make more than one three-pointer, scored eight points for CSC and Audrey Quintana added six, but none of the other team members had more than four.

In addition to her 15 points, Wagner's six rebounds were the second-best in a game in her college career. The freshman's six steals are a single-game high by an Eagle player this season and is tied for the third-most in a game by an RMAC player.

The Cougars were led by Ezra Simonich, a 5-10 freshman from Littleton, another Denver suburb, with 19 points on 7-of-9 field goal shooting that included one three-pointer and making 4-of-5 from the line.  She also was the game's leading rebounder with seven. Each team finished with four treys. 

The Cougars' top scorer for the season with a 12.4 point average, Jordan Heckert, a 5-8 senior from Rapid City, tallied 17 points, 13 of them in the second period. Maley Wilhelm also reached double-digits with 10 points. 

The hosts are now 6-15 for the season and 3-10 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The Eagles fell to 1-17 and are 1-12 in the conference. They have another chance at their second win when they visit CSU Pueblo at 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon.   

Chadron State—Kenna Wagner 15, Dreanna Jackson 8, Audrey Quintana 6, Ella Moser 4, Bianca Bindzus 3, McKenzi Petersen 2, Amya Winfrey 2, Teryn Stokes 2, Jordyn Stokes 1. Totals: 16-57 FG (4-27 3PT) 7-12 FT, 43 points, 26 rebounds, 4 assists, 23 turnovers.

RAPID CITY, S.D. – Chadron State scored its third-highest point total of the season and freshman Ella Moser poured in a career-high 20 points, but South Dakota Mines made 13 three-pointers as the Hardrockers defeated the Eagles 76-59 on Thursday evening in Rapid City. 

South Dakota Mines (7-12, 5-6 RMAC) shot 48 percent from the field (26-54, its second-best percentage of the season) and 46 percent from three-point range (13-28, its best percentage of the season) against the Eagles (1-15, 1-11 RMAC). 

Moser became the third Eagle this season with a 20-point game, joining McKenzi Petersen (20 points against Adams State on 1/15) and Audrey Quintana (22 points against Westminster on 1/12).

The freshman from Cedar Rapids, Iowa made 7 of 14 shot attempts, including 4 of 8 three-pointers, and made both free throw attempts. Thursday marked Moser's fifth career double-figure scoring performance. 

In another sign of growth for the Eagles, CSC committed just eight turnovers, 10 more than their previous season-low of 18. South Dakota Mines committed 10, marking just the second time this season that the Eagles won the turnover battle.

McKenzi Petersen joined Moser in double figures against the Hardrockers, scoring 11 points on 5 of 8 shooting with six rebounds. Dreanna Jackson and Audrey Quintana had eight points each, with Quintana corralling a team-high seven rebounds. Kenna Wagner led the team with five assists and three steals. 

The Hardrockers jumped out to a 17-5 lead on the strength of making five of their first six three-point attempts. Moser answered with two threes of her own in the quarter, the second of which came with three seconds left and cut the deficit to 21-10. 

The Eagles fought back, outscoring SDM 17-15 in the second period. Moser began the frame by hitting another jumper and a three to cut the lead down to six, having scored 13 of the team's 15 points at that point. A Quintana layup, which made it 22-19 with 4:38 to go in the first half, was the first basket by anyone not named Moser or Petersen for the Eagles. 

That three-point margin would also be the closest Chadron State would get to the lead. The Hardrockers led by nine at halftime and opened the second half on a 12-3 run to open up an 18-point cushion. South Dakota Mines outscored CSC 23-14 in the third quarter, making the margin too steep for the Eagles despite outscoring the home team 18-17 in the final frame.

South Dakota Mines narrowly outrebounded the Eagles 32-31. The Hardrockers received a game-high 24 points from Addison Miranda. 

After playing four games in eight days, Chadron State has a full week of rest before its next game on Thursday, February 5 against Colorado Christian.

CSC freshman Moser sets another career high scoring mark at SD Mines

RAPID CITY, S.D. – Chadron State shot a blistering 70 percent from the field in the second half, Isaiah Randolph and Mack Keighran scored 22 points apiece, and Chadron State men's basketball earned a key rivalry win against South Dakota Mines, prevailing 88-79 in Rapid City on Thursday night. 

The win, which came in Chadron State's fourth game in the past eight days, improves CSC's record to 5-15 overall and 3-9 in RMAC play. South Dakota Mines drops to 9-10 overall and 6-5 in the RMAC. 

The Eagles, who led 36-33 at halftime, shot 56.9 percent from the floor for the game and 57.1 percent from three-point range. In the second half alone, the Eagles made 21 of 30 field goal attempts (70 percent) and 7 of 11 long-range shots (63.6 percent). 

The Hardrockers were no slouches on offense either, shooting 48.4 percent from the field for the game and 62 percent in the second half themselves, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the Chadron State attack.

Chadron State had a three-headed monster of Randolph and Keighran with 22 each plus Jadon Cool with 18 points. All three were lethally efficient – Randolph shot 9-for-15 from the floor while Keighran was 8-for-12 and Cool was 7-for-13. 

Keighran led the way from deep with four made three-pointers, with Cool adding three triples. Zach Smith and Blessing Adesipe had two three-pointers each. Randolph also had a game-high eight rebounds and a team-high five assists.

The game started slowly. Chadron State only made 3 of its first 11 field goal attempts and found itself trailing 14-9 after eight-and-a-half minutes of game time. The Hardrockers led 28-22 with five minutes to go in the first half, but CSC went on an 11-2 with a Randolph layup and threes by Luka Djurovic, Cool and Keighran to go up 33-30. The teams traded points before CSC went into the locker room up by three, 36-33. 

In the second half, the Eagles started out on fire and scarcely slowed down. Chadron State made its first five field goal attempts and tacked on a pair of free throws for good measure, scoring 14 points in the half's first four minutes to lead 50-44. 

The teams continued to trade shot after shot, answering one another's baskets with a make of their own. Chadron State maintained its lead throughout the second half but didn't lead by more than seven points until there were five minutes left in the game. 

After Randolph hit a jumper, the Eagles forced a turnover and Randolph found Blessing Adesipe for a three as the Eagles built their largest lead of the night at 78-66 with 4:26 left.

Cool punctuated things with a dunk to put CSC back up by nine – 86-77 – with 29 seconds left, then the Eagles found Keighran on a fastbreak for a layup after an SDM miss for their final two points with 13 seconds remaining. 

The Eagles outrebounded South Dakota Mines 30-24 and got 31 points from their bench compared to 15 for SDM. Jason Lee scored a game-high 27 points for South Dakota Mines on 22 field goal attempts.

Chadron State has a full seven days until its next game, when the Eagles hit the road to face Colorado Christian (8-11, 3-8 RMAC) and CSU Pueblo (13-6, 7-4 RMAC).

​Chadron State—Isaiah Randolph 22, Mack Keighran 22, Jadon Cool 18, Luka Djurovic 9, Zach Smith 8, Blessing Adesipe 7, Ethan Russell 2. Totals: 33-58 FG (12-21 3PT) 10-14 FT. 88 points, 30 rebounds, 17 assists, 10 turnovers.

Alliance Bulldogs Coach's Show - 01/28/26 (Boys Hoops & Western Conf. Tourney)

CHADRON, Neb. – Despite Chadron State men's basketball getting a game-high 21 points from Isaiah Randolph, a 10-0 run in the final five minutes helped put some distance between the Eagles and No. 19-ranked Black Hills State, who defeated CSC 77-59 on Tuesday evening in the Chicoine Center.

Randolph made four threes and seven total field goals for the Eagles (4-15, 2-9 RMAC), but the Yellow Jackets (16-3, 9-2 RMAC) had four players in double figures.

Behind Randolph, Mack Keighran scored 15 points on 5 of 9 shooting while Jadon Cool chipped in nine. Blessing Adesipe had a game-high nine rebounds plus a block and a steal while Collin Nick had two blocks.

Both teams started slow offensively and heated up in the second half, but Black Hills State was a little bit better in both periods. The visiting Yellow Jackets shot 39 percent from the field in the first half and 52 percent from the floor in the second half to tally 45 percent for the game. Chadron State shot just 29 percent in the first half and improved to 48 percent in the second half, shooting 38 percent from the field overall.

The Eagles were marginally better from three-point range (making 8 of 24 compared to BHSU's 8 of 25) and excelled at the free throw line (making 13 of 15 attempts for 87 percent while BHSU made 15 of 21). Cool, Adesipe, Keighran and Ethan Russell made one three-pointer apiece for CSC in addition to Randolph's four.

Black Hills State outrebounded CSC 38-28, a total that included 10 offensive rebounds for the Yellow Jackets compared to just two for the Eagles. Black Hills State outscored the home team 19-2 in second chance points and also had more points in the paint (36-18) and bench points (32 to 20).

Chadron State led 3-0 after a three-pointer from Randolph on its first possession, but Black Hills State answered by scoring the next seven points and never trailed again. As first-half baskets proved hard to come by across the board, the Yellow Jackets never led by more than six at any point during the first half, but led by double digits for the majority of the final 11 minutes.

Jackson Seale, a 6-foot-10 transfer from Division I Eastern Washington, scored a career-high 16 points along with a team-high seven rebounds and three blocks to lead the Yellow Jackets.

Chadron State will play its fourth game in eight days on Thursday when the Eagles face South Dakota Mines (9-9, 6-4 RMAC) at 7:30 p.m. in Rapid City.

​Chadron State—Isaiah Randolph 21, Mack Keighran 15, Jadon Cool 9, Blessing Adesipe 5, Ethan Russell 3, Zach Smith 2, Luka Djurovic 2, Collin Nick 2. Totals: 19-50 FG (8-24 3PT) 13-15 FT. 59 points, 28 rebounds, 10 assists, 12 turnovers.
